10. Taz vs. Buh Buh Ray Dudley (Hardcore Heaven 1999)
Wrestling fans know Buh Buh Ray Dudley better as Bully Ray - or even Bubba Ray Dudley - nowadays, but in ECW the guy was a stuttering oddball. By 1999 however, a switch to the WWF was on the horizon, and Buh Buh was given a crack at Taz and the ECW World Heavyweight Title before he would depart just a few short months later. One of the best tag-teams in the entire industry just before the turn of the millennium, The Dudley Boys were a force to be reckoned with, and fans were salivating at the prospect of seeing Taz and Buh Buh Ray lock horns at Hardcore Heaven in May. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKdeOyG-T_I Available on the WWE Network, this Falls Count Anywhere bout is one worth seeking out, and sows the seeds for what Bully Ray would accomplish in TNA. At this point in his career, Taz was also on fire, and even though Buh Buh was far better known as a tag-team wrestler, there was a lot of interest from ECW fans in seeing what might happen when this pair went at it.
