WWE: 10 ECW Match Types That Should Be Resurrected From Its Heyday

2. Flaming Tables Match

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8spOnJ80THE How extreme was ECW? So extreme they taped a flaming tables match for their very first show on TNN, then didn't air it. In typical ECW fashion everyone was trying to further the violence and take everything to the next level. The flaming table maybe didn't have a lot of matches, but it became pivotal in the culture of Extreme Championship Wrestling and significant in pushing the envelope for the product. I can't imagine ever seeing a table on fire again in pro wrestling, but never say never; after all, Edge and Mick Foley set one on fire on the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania 23. In modern WWE there are a lot of wrestlers who could fit in and excel in a hardcore environment. so wouldn't it be great seeing The Shield triple powerbomb someone through a flaming table?
