[Crappler El 0 M]

I knew this was likely to happen since I purposely left off the Chamber matches, MITB, and TLC IV.

3. v. Lance Storm (Guilty as Charged, 1999)
4. v. RVD v. Sabu (Hostile City Showdown)
9. v. 2 Cold Scorpio (Living Dangerously, 1998)
10. v. Christian (Raw, 2002) *I meant to vote for their 2003 Raw match

[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

All but one of mine made it, which I find surprising because I had a lot of WWE matches on my list, and I figured that his ECW work would dominate.

Also, even though I feel RVD's ECW work is lightyears ahead of his WWE work, I haven't seen a lot of it, which is why my list had a WWE majority.

[pvb]

I'm really tired...so I probably missed one...and that makes me feel dumb. This was the first ever list i did so I don't know if this is good or not...

9.) Sabu & RVD/The Eliminators @ecw Crossing the Line (2/1/97) (25)
