I miss ECW!, 25 February 2002
10/10
Author: OzzyCash from Nashville, TN

This was ECW's first ever ppv and it was a great one to start off a short but excellent history. The first match of the night saw how ECW was much better in the ring at the time than WCW or WWF. The moves were more innovative and done with more agression and technique, even basic suplexes in ECW are done better and harder and faster then the WWF or WCW. The Dudleys defended their tag belts against the Eliminators, we also see RVD take on Lance Storm which sees 2 stars on the rise and at the time a lesser known Storm. The only bad match of the night was a very long match between Pit Bull #1 and Shane Douglas, this match went I believe around 18 minutes and was rather boring. Tazz defeated Sabu in a somewhat disappointing match but still good, amazing how downhill Tazz has gone. The main event was a 3-way with Steven Richards, Sandman & Terry Funk and the winner faces Raven for the ECW world title. This event is also featured in the documentary movie Beyond the Mat, I'd rate this event a 9!
