Best WWECW Match?

[543Y2J]

What would it be? Specifically to episodes, so not PPV matches represeting the brand.

I think Punk vs Morrison when Punk won the ECW Championship is up there. Big Show vs Ric Flair Extreme Rules, RVD vs Test Extreme Rules, RVD vs Hardcore Holly Extreme Rules, New Breed vs Originals Extreme Rules all deserve a mention as well. I sense a pattern here

I feel like I have forgotten a few great one's so that's where I need your help FAN

[Bad Moon]

I'll always have a soft spot for Dreamer and Delaney vs Miz and Morrison. I know that's a weird choice because it's well into that time when WWECW was firmly established as the C-show but they really put a lot of story and emotion into that match, as well as some just plain cool spots (Morrison moonsaulting off the apron with the ladder in hand comes immediately to mind)

Yes! Completely forgot the great matches they had, and you also reminded me that the great Miz and Morrison vs Moore Wang series needs a mention in this thread

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Christian's 2009 run certainly has to be mentioned here.

There was like 8 people on the ECW roster at that time and Christian had great matches with all of them.

John Cena vs. Johnny Nitro from the "This is not a Tribute to Chris Benoit Tribute Show"

Or maybe one of the early Big Show title defenses idk

[The Freakin' Deacon]

I really enjoyed the last Paul Burchill vs. The Hurricane match. And a lot of Christian's title defenses, like against Zack Ryder, Yoshi Tatsu and the William Regal match in England.

I really miss WWECW.

Might be a bit left field, but I remember a battle royal in 2009 which Zack Ryder won to become Number one contender to the ECW Championship.

I loved that match because everyone was booked perfectly - Sheamus and Shelton Benjamin (who were feuding) eliminated each other, Ezekiel Jackson and Kozlov were made to look dominant but were eventually eliminated, Goldust was REALLY over with the crowd the entire match and of course Zack won by eliminating Goldust by underhanded heel tactics. Great booking all round.

Watching Yoshi Tatsu on WWECW made me a wrestling fan again. I guess his matches with Christian would be my picks.

[Instant Classic]

Christian vs Chris Jericho

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

In addition to those already mentioned, you've got Morrison vs Evan Bourne, Kane vs Big Show Extreme Rules, the Moore Wang vs The In Crowd series, and both times Swagger and Christian locked up on television after Christian returned.

From the time it began till the time it ended, there was no better more consistent wrestling show than WWECW. They had an hour every week, and they made the most of it. Very little of what was in WWECW felt like filler, random segments built to something and had a purpose.

[Paco]

Christian vs. Jack Swagger (Christian's first ECW Title shot after returning)

Punk vs. Morrison (Punk wins ECW Title)

There was an awesome Bourne vs. Chavo match too.

[543Y2J]

MNM2.0 and Chavo vs Dreamer, Super Crazy and Evan Bourne was an incredibly fun tag match that I forgot to mention in the first post

[Deleted]

I came in to say Regal vs. Christian for the ECW title when they were in England, was one of my favorite TV matches ever.

But I forgot about Punk/Morrison, which was even better, and was the match that got me back into wrestling.

[Manute Bol]

Some of my favorite matches in the WWECW canon:

6/12/05 - Masato Tanaka vs. Mike Awesome (One Night Stand)
6/12/05 - Tommy Dreamer & The Sandman vs. The Dudley Boyz (One Night Stand)
6/11/06 - Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu (One Night Stand)
6/11/06 - Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer & Beulah McGillicutty vs. Mick Foley, Edge & Lita (One Night Stand)
6/11/06 - WWE Champion John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam (One Night Stand)
7/11/06 - Ric Flair vs. ECW Champion The Big Show (ECW on Sci Fi)
11/21/06 - Rob Van Dam vs. Hardcore Holly (ECW on Sci Fi)
4/3/07 - ECW Originals vs. The New Breed (ECW on Sci Fi)

Pick any one of the 637 matches Mark Henry had with Matt Hardy. Just kidding, although it did seem like they fought every week.

I miss that show. Always loved seeing Kofi Kingston & Yoshi Tatsu being put over as future stars. And the Roundtable, I miss that stable.

[Gummydavidson]

Sabu and Kurt Angle had a surprisingly good match just before Angle left WWE.

[Deleted]

I really miss this show. It was a show basically of all "midcard storylines" even the title feud was midcard sort of.

You don't really get those elsewhere in the WWE much. It's just the same 20 guys or whatever that get storylines.

Yes! That match was really really good.

I'll add in the Angle/RVD vs. Edge/Orton tag match from the second episode.

Another one RVD vs Sabu Ladder Match

[rapidfire187]

I loved the 8 man tornado match with the New Breed vs the ECW Originals from the ECW after Wrestlemania 24. THAT is the match they should have done at WM. It was just so well done and the right team went over that time around.
