Let's Watch ECW #50

I'm taking a trip back in time to the early days of ECW. I'm starting with the first episode of Hardcore TV after "The Night The Line Was Crossed", which occurred on February 5, 1994. This is before "Extreme", back when ECW was still Eastern Championship Wrestling. Consider this your viewing guide to the ECW archives on the WWE Network.

It's Paul E. leading 911 into a handicap match which he wins quickly with a choke slam. More guys get involved. More choke slams. This guy appears to know one move, but he's a Paul (Heyman) Guy, and the ECW fans love him.

ECW #43

This is such a great introduction to ECW. "The Night The Line Was Crossed" has become almost mythical, and it's no accident. Building the reputation of that event begins in the very first seconds of this episode. A black screen with white letters reads "Saturday Night. February 5, 1994". The next title card reads "The Night The Line Was Crossed." It fades up to the aftermath of the ECW Heavyweight Championship match between Terry Funk, Shane Douglas and Sabu. The match ended in a time limit draw. Joey Styles remarks on the normally hostile Philadelphia crowd giving all three men a standing ovation. Styles states that wrestling has returned to the United States of America.

Wow.
