10 Most Under-Rated ECW PPV Matches

Most fans of the original Extreme Championship Wrestling agree that matches between Taz and Sabu on pay-per-view failed to live up to the hype. Ironically, the pair would have some decent bouts on television, but those were mainly tag-team scraps featuring others. At both the Barely Legal 1997 and Living Dangerously 1999 pay-per-view events, many fans were left disappointed by the disjointed action served up by both men. It was baffling to most why Taz and Sabu didn't gel despite their lengthy rivalry. With others, such as Shane Douglas and Rob Van Dam, both guys had excellent matches. Indeed, one such bout between Taz and Douglas from Guilty As Charged 1999 should be considered under-rated. That's exactly what is analysed and assessed here, 10 different ECW pay-per-view matches that aren't often given the credit they deserve. It's important to note that all 10 of these bouts come from the original incarnation of ECW, not the watered-down WWE version that came years later. There are real some corkers hidden away in the ECW archives, all of which are available on the WWE Network. It's likely that there are simply loads of wrestling enthusiasts who haven't seen many of the entries listed, and it's time to change that fact.
