1. It’s Been 19 Years Since One of the Most Violent ECW Matches of All Time Took Place
It was 19 years ago (well, 19 years and 1 day to be exact) when ECW Born To Be Wired took place. Sabu became the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion on this night, when he defeated Terry Funk in a Barbed Wire match.
The main event was very brutal. Both the wrestlers were wrapped up in barbed to such an extent that they could barely move. Due to this, Sabu decided to end the match there itself, rather then free himself from the barbed wire and do a few more spots before ending the match.
During an interview, ECW promoter Paul Heyman noted that the level of violence bothered him so much, he would never again book such a match. Below are the results from the show:
– Little Guido def. Pablo Marquez
– Mikey Whipwreck def. Louie Spicolli
– Spike Dudley def. Bam Bam Bigelow
– Chris Candido def. Chris Chetti
– Shane Douglas def. Lance Storm
– Taz def. Al Snow to retain the ECW World TV Title.
– Dudley Boyz def. Balls Mahoney, Axl Rotten & Hack Meyers
– Rob Van Dam def. Tommy Dreamer
– Sabu def. Terry Funk in a Barbed Wire match to become the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
