10 Things You Need To Know About The Original ECW Invasion

9. ECW Plays Mind Games

1996€™s In Your House: Mind Games started off with a Caribbean Strap Match with Savio Vega against Justin €œHawk€ Bradshaw with Uncle Zebekahia (Zeb Colture) in his corner. The two whipped each other mercilessly as the ECW stars Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, and Paul Heyman came through the Philly crowd and took their seats in the front row. The match spilled outside to the floor where Vega whipped Bradshaw at will. That gave the Sandman the opening he needed to do his trademark beer chug along with smashing the can repeatedly on his forehead before he proceeded to spit the beer in Savio Vega€™s face. Vega played it off like it was some fan getting out of line while the commentators never mentioned ECW by name thus giving it that unscripted vibe.
