Arguably, ECW's TV library (both the TNN stuff and Hardcore TV) is stuffed full of matches that could be considered hidden gems. However, one has always stood out to this pro wrestling fanboy: Kid Kash vs. EZ Money from Anarchy Rulz 2000. What a bloody match that was!

Go check it out ASAP.

The entire show is worth watching, to be honest. AR 2000 might even be the original ECW's most complete pay-per-view offering, but it's Kash vs. Money (ahem) that gets the most love here. These boys put on quite the show, and mixed WCW Cruiserweight stylings with big bumps and outside-the-ring drama featuring a whole string of other characters.

Literally everything Kid and EZ did was crisp from bell to bell. It's clear to see that both men would've been major players for Paul Heyman had ECW continued on beyond early-2001 - they were ready to become the next wave of breakout stars for him.
