Favorite ECW Moments

- I don't care what The One says, the RVD/Lynn series was some of the best technical wrestling of the last decade. Yes, there were hardcore elements to the matches (Van Daminators, Lynn almost killing himself tumbling to the floor), but the core of the series was the counter-counter-counter style of both men.

- Francine betraying the Pitbulls and allying with Shane Douglas at the end of the phenomenal Douglas vs. PBII vs. Jericho vs. Scorpio match for the Television Title.

- The crowd reaction when "Natural Born Killaz" would hit the speakers.

- Joey Styles. "Oh, my GAHD!" Plus, the way he would call finishers and his near-trademark "Catfight! Catfiiiiiiiiiiight!"

- My first exposure to lucha libre.

- Shane Douglas getting disqualified (!) because Francine bit Terry Funk.

- Raven, Taz, and Joel Gertner promos.

- The crowd cheering who they liked, not who they were supposed to like.

- Perry Saturn dropping the elbow off the scaffolding at the end of the abysmal Eliminators vs. Williams/Gordy match. Honestly, if it wasn't for that spot, I would never watch that match.

- Three-way dances. Stairway to hell. Double jeopardy. High impact.
