10 Best WCW vs. ECW Matches

3. Raven vs. DDP - Spring Stampede 1998

Ask Diamond Dallas Page to name his favourite match from WCW, and it's likely he'll say it came against Randy Savage at Spring Stampede 1997. Quiz him further about what other opponents he enjoyed working against in the company, and it won't be too long before the name Raven is brought up. Facing off against one another at the Spring Stampede 1998 Pay-Per-View, DDP and Raven contested a match over the United States Championship. It was one that the latter would win, before dropping the belt to Bill Goldberg just 24 hours later on Nitro. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ktfw_wcw-spring-stampede-98-ddp-vs-raven_sport Regardless of what was to come, Raven and DDP were a good fit together, putting on a good match whenever they were pitted against each other. It's been argued that had it not been for the plethora of big names in WCW in the late-90's, Raven would have been a shoe in for a top push, which is probably accurate, but it's not as though he didn't have success in the company, as evidenced by his tremendous rivalry against Page.
