Contains Eddy Vs, Malenko - one of the Milestone of modern wrestling
amanwhorocks16 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Eddie Guerrero Vs. Dean Malenko for the ECW Television Championship is Classic with big C. 10-point star match, with amounts of unbelievable moves and it's the case when No-contest is great ending. They gave everything they had. I like the "ECW" chant.

We have also great Raven Vs. Tommy Dreamer on card. Hardcore bout with Raven's DQ win.

Franchise Shane Douglas measure his strength with The Sandman for the ECW Heavyweight Championship. Douglas lost his Title, that he held for long time. Match wasn't anything special.

Tag Team Champions Public Enemy wrestled Pitbuls for the belts. Bloody hardcore match that Enemies won. 911 defeated Ron Simmons and fans of Terry Funk and Cactus Jack had a main event.

Eddie Guerrero, Dean Makenko, Raven, and Tommy Dreamer Perform In An Exreme PPV That Is Mid

Warning: Spoilers
Taking place in the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the 1995 edition of ECW Hostile City Showdown is the second of the Hostile City Showdown events from the old ECW, and man, is it mid.

Starting with a singles bout between Steve Richards and Mikey Whipwreck, the card for this one is mostly bad matches. One of these bad matches is a bout between Tony Stetson and Tsubo Genjin, which was noting more than a throwaway match, as Genjin won in less than a minute (as it was revealed the match was nothing more than to film footage of Genjin winning for a Japanese movie he was in, which makes the bout feel like it was a last-minute addition to the event's match card), and Ian Rotten and Axel Rotten's match felt more like a boring hardcore match, despite a barbed-wire baseball bat being used as a weapon, was nothing more than yet another bust that does nothing more than have ECW have its shock value added in (as barbed wire is not something to be taken lightly when used in the way the two used it). The only good matches I saw were Raven Vs. Tommy Dreamer, which was better done (as it was part of a rivalry, and they use everything to pummel each other, even a kitchen sink), and the ECW World Television Championship Match between Eddie Guererro and Dean Malenko, which despite the ending, proves both Eddie and Dean were two of the hottest new wrestlers at the time.
