ECW
Anarchy Rulz
Villa Park, IL
Sept. 19th, 1999
A barnburner classic of an opener. Two of the best workers period killed it here. Jerry Lynn will go down as the most underrated worker ever. Plenty of near falls and great spots here with the crowd eating every move up.
4.25 / 5
Boring beat down angle.
.5 / 5
A match full of no ones that was over quick. Points on them for improvising since Chris Chetti seemingly got hurt during the opening seconds of the match.
.5 / 5
A lot of big fun spots. Commentary was a bit goofy at times. This was what you’d expect from these three. Could have used maybe a few minutes shaved off though.
3 / 5
This was a fun brawl. A few minutes shorter would have made it excellent. It was pretty much what you’d expect, a lot of spots. A lot of table spots here and Sabu redoing his spots until he could nail it. Justin Credible bled a ton from his head too at one point.
3.5 / 5
The crowd was super against Taz here because they knew he was leaving after this match to go to WWF. They got Taz out of the way early into this match which was smart and let Awesome / Tanaka have their moment. Both men are legends and were the perfect guys to fight. They can’t have a bad match and this just proves it.
4 / 5
This only lasts a few minutes and is just random brawling mostly. Nothing really good and they kept it short before the crowd could turn against the match.
1.5 / 5
This was a fine match but not exactly a main event. Balls did well here given this wasn’t the normal match he’d get in ECW. The big moments here were the spots and RVD’s jump to the crowd is always insane impressive.
3.5 / 5
