Best ECW Show

[Squatch]

What's the best ECW show that you seen (or have on DVD/VHS) back in the day?

I think its hard for anyone to disagree that ECW's best PPV is Heatwave 1998. There are definitely other PPVs that were good like Barely Legal, Anarchy Rulz 1999 and so on. But I think from top to bottom, match to match and all that good stuff Heatwave 1998 is a must see and is their best.

By best shows do you mean best ppvs or super shows?? Or best TV shows??

Cause I know there was some ECW Hardcore TV episodes that were just amazing!

As for ppvs Barely Legal just cause it's the first ppv. November To Remember 97 with Douglas vs. Bigelow for the belt is 30 minutes of action. Heatwave 98 for sure, that ppv was amazing from bottom to top. Guilty As Charged 99 too, Taz vs. Douglas, Storm vs. RVD, Credible vs. Dreamer, the ppv is great! I think Heatwave 99 gets no love when it was a solid ppv for the talent they had then. RVD/Lynn vs. Impact Players as the main event was amazing. November To Remember 99 and Guilty As Charged 2000 were good. After that, it just doesn't get that good.


For super shows, I always liked When Worlds Collide 94, just to see Funk/Anderson vs. Sabu/Eaton. Hostile City Showdown 95 is good. November To Remember as well. Most of the shows from 96 and 97 were great, since that seemed to be ECW's hot peak.

As mentioned, Heatwave '98 is brilliant, but I also like Wrestlepalooza '97 and Hardcore Heaven 2000, the latter of which was the first ECW event I got on DVD.

I always hated the Anarchy Rulez 99 ppv for some reason. I think it was mainly because the main event was going to be RVD vs. Johnny Smith for the TV Title, then got changed to RVD vs. Balls Mahoney which is awesome for ECW Hardcore TV, or TNN, or even in the middle of an ECW PPV but not the main event.

I still think the Anarchy Rulez 99 main event should have been RVD vs. Sabu vs. Jerry Lynn for the TV Title.

Christ yeah-its hard to look past Heatwave 98.Barely Legal too

I want to get Heatwave 1998 right now. lol It's too bad that it's $40 on Amazon for the VHS Tape of it.

PPV-wise:

- Barely Legal - An overall and awesome event
- Hardcore Heaven '97 = If you can get past the lighting, the event is great
- November to Remember '97 = My personal favorite event!
- Heat Wave '98 = Probably ECW last great event

I got lucky and got the DVD in mint condition for around $25 shipped. However, I would say checkout highspots and see if they have Heatwave 98. I could have sworn they did.
