But I'll be damned if the craziest thing I've ever seen isn't from Sabu and Terry Funk's no rope/barbed wire match from Born to Be Wired. Sabu launching himself toward the turnbuckle, Funk moving, and Sabu ripping a gash down his bicep. After screaming in pain for a second, he turns to Fonzie and asks him to go get him some tape. The crazy bastard proceeds to tape up his arm while the Funker is kicking at him and finishes the match. (Also, after the pinfall, both men being entwined in barbed wire and tangled together and needing to be cut free.)
There will never be anything like ECW. There's some crazy shit over in Japan and I'm sure elsewhere here in the States, or anywhere, but ECW was lightning in a bottle.
(Plus, in the spirit of the thread, there were Beulah, Tammy Sytch, and Kimona!)
Aaaand Francine of course!! The Queen of Extreme!
That mentioned Barbed Wire Match is a CLASSIC. The embodiment of HARDCORE!
