  • welcome to ec fucking w the fed will never die fuck u wwe and vince we want our ecw now 2012

  • Mike Awesome made the best decision in his career. Not.

  • Mick put Joey in his place later... 

  • I hated this, if they had to have a WWF guy bury ECW it should have been Austin. Not the fucking Chaperone-Ah

  • was this the same show mike did a suicide dive and joey said "too bad he didnt succeed"?

  • @Alucard20039 Yes, it is

  • Comment removed

  • Ya know people always knock Mike Awesome for going to WCW...uh yeah what about when Taz (who was the world champ at the time) left for WWF, and the Dudley Boys (who were the tag champs at the time) also left for WWF. Oh and they did this EXACTLY when ECW got their tv deal with TNN by the way. Oh and when Shane Douglas left for the WWF in 1995 (when he was ECW's top heel btw). I like how WWE is always exempt from the "they stole talent" history books despite, when Vince did it ALL the time.

  • @baphochrist The whole reason WCW signed Awesome was to get the ECW belt on TV to throw it in the trash. Notice they did nothing with him after that.

    At least those other guys gave notice, Awesome's deal was totally back alley.

  • @baphochrist well the dudleys asked for $1 raise and Paule E said no so they decided to leave, they didnt want to go, also Taz said he got tired of Main-Eventing Pay Per Views every single year as the world champion and wanted to see what it was like in WWF, he figured ECW would be great since they just signed with TNN

  • I'd rather work for ECW, I don't know why Mike Awesome went to WCW...he wasn't used properly.

  • @OJC21892 Money. On this very show, JBL made fun of Heyman for bouncing checks.

  • Wow. Great video. In my opinion, when UFC hit, Wrestling had to become more hard hitting with bigger stunts and intense reality angles. ECW provided this. Giving Wrestling something different to offer the viewer(for example you will not see fighters wrestle throgh the crowd or get thrown off a balcony in MMA). And UFC has now caught up with WWE in the "entertainment" stakes with building matches and characters also. So killing ECW was essentially killing Wrestling.

  • so like the ref didnt see the chair when he was crawling like a bitch.

  • ecw greatest promotion all time FTW

  • I loved that match... Ecw champ vs WWE champ... After Mike awesome went to wcw... Those were the days... Thank you all

  • 100 Way to Kill ECW: #1: ECW goes TV PG

  • Gotta love Joey Styles

  • 100000 Ways to Absolutely Destroy ECW: # 0 let linda mcmahon allow vince to buy ECW(yes people linda is the reason for all this pg shit)

  • Styles should STFU with his burying Awesome.The only thing separating ECW from your average bush-league indy is that they had a TV deal and some cred with their cultist fans.Paul Heyman jerked his talent around, missed paychecks, put them in angles and matches, and a style of wrestling that risked injury for them - and believe me, Heyman didn't have a pension plan or sweet insurance plan. If I was dicked around like that, and WCW offered me 6x the pay for 1/3 the work? I'd leave in a heartbeat.

  • @peterp21 they all had passion for ECW thats why stook around okay it wa not all bout money wanted see ecw into big organization heymn did not have enough money wwe does not give talent insurance either and ecw much more plain indy promtion

  • @peterp21 There are a few things you are missing.

    No wrestling company offered a pension plan or insurance at the time and no company offers such things at this time..

    The problem wasn't that Awesome left ECW, it was how he left ECW.

    Any style of pro wrestling can lead to injuries.

  • LOL, this whole abortion of a match reminds me of the Invasion angle, with Kurt Angle leading WCW/ECW.

  • If it helps any, Vince said that having Triple H beat Taz that night, no matter how dusty the finish was, that it was a bad idea and that Taz should have won. He said he had no idea what he was thinking, he thought that by having the ECW Champion on SmackDown and having him fight Triple H would help ECW, but when Taz lost....

  • @bleachfanforever01 i believed vince did want to help ECW, i mean letting them have airtime on Raw for years? True VInce is all about competition maybe he just never saw ECW as competition, more like a farm of talents and ideas he later "borrowed"..

  • dreamer started spazzing after that pedigree big time

  • you forgot the part when he said "Suicide dive by Mike Awesome, AND IT IS ASHAME HE DIDN'T SUCCEED IN TAKING HIS OWN LIFE!"

  • @TheDistantman I remember that! xP

  • a wwf wrestler beats a wcw wrestler for the ecw title, Awkward!

  • fanny pack is awesome

  • 100 ways to kill ECW:#1 JOHN CENA ECW CHAMPION

  • AWESOME

  • Comment removed

  • tokill ecw? just hire john cena

  • @Truexel Oh it's funny because you're a douche,.

  • In every ECW Video i watch somewhere Tommy Dreamer

    is there. That's why he should be in the WWE HoF after he left TNA.

  • mike awesome walks out with champ they bash ric flair walks out and keeps wcw champ yall suck his dick jesus christ i mean i dont like either

  • Awesome got sick of being paid in IOU's he did nothing wrong by walking out on a company that wouldnt pay him

  • @qua88 Oh, please.

  • @fatmanfiftythousand

    i spose u wud b quite happy 2 work 4 free then?

  • IT'S THE WORLD HEAVYRATE CHAMPION

  • fanny pack.

  • I don't understand how accepting a promotion in your chosen field of work qualifies as 'selling out'? Oh well... people will think what they want.

  • @MrClassicRic a sell out is someone who compromises their morals for financial gain by definition. need i explain?

  • @MrClassicRic and the sad thing is, he got completely misused in WCW.

  • he wasn't getting paid, so he did nothing wrong RIP awesome

  • Joey Styles is a fucking douchebag.

  • YEAH WHAT STYLES SAID

  • ''sellout''? Didn't he leave ECW because he didn't get paid?

    Yes, one must not run out on a contract. But if one is not getting paid, then there is no valid contract to enforce. If Mike kept up his end by wrestling and ECW management failed to pay him, then Mike's obligations under the contract are null & void. As such, by leaving for another brand he has not violated the terms of the contract as there is none to enforce.

  • Mike Awesome (Rest in Peace) was a sellout to WCW.

  • He got $250,000 up front and a million dollar contract to sign with WCW?

    Only a fucking idiot would refuse that offer to work at ECW for a bouncing check. I don't care if I was Champion or not, I'd take that in a heartbeat.

  • @xStarscreamx666x The point is there is some "rules" when you wrestled, one of them is not to walk out of an organization as the title holder and go to work with another one unless who have the approval of both organization.

    What did Awesome and Bischoff by not informing Paul Heyman and ECW is simply taboo.

  • @therrydicule Awesome had 2 kids to feed and he wasn't getting paid.

    And if we're talking about Heyman, why is it that he told the locker room that he was going out to LA to get them a new TV deal only to not bother and film scenes for that godawful Rollerball remake instead?

  • @xStarscreamx666x I am not defending Heyman here: I don't really like that guy... I think he did not spend enough in prevention of injuries, that what he did to NWA was a screwjob and that some film from the time lack of quality. Even if I still have some form respect for him because he his a good business man, he's still an a**holes.

    I am just telling you that "Awesome" should have warm Heman and come to a solution before going to WCW... Like losing the championship in a battle royal ;)

  • Triple H beating Taz like that was bullshit. Come on, McMahon. What an ego.

  • Love the Joey Rage meter lol!

  • Taz better than HHH. Macho man bone Stephanie!

  • I was distraught when HHH beat Taz

  • Fuck pg wwe

  • fuck my awesome!! thier was never nothing awesome about him or his mullet

  • So...Mike Awesome killed ECW? Good. Finally we can put that discussion to rest already

  • Mike Awesome had the coolest hair and going to WCW was the best thing he's ever done in his career!!!!!!

    Of course I'm kidding. R.I.P. Mike.

  • @DaveWazzify yeah but he sold out ecw my favorite wrestling promotion ecw is better than wcw

  • i have triple h vs tazz on decade of smackdown dvd

  • A WWF Guy vs A WCW Guy for the ECW Title....

  • And then Awesome goes on to become the fat chick thriller and that 70's guy.

  • lol superbad mike awsome pissed his pants teehee RIP

  • lol superbad scene went perfectly

  • Matt Striker plus Joey Styles would rival the King and JR as the best commentary team of all time.

  • @themike314v2 I think the only team that rivals the King and J.R., and don't get me wrong, I love Joey and as a play by play guy he is definitely up there, but as far as in the same league as J.R. and Lawler, only Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan compare.

  • R.I.P MIKE AWESOME one of the best and most agile big men i have ever seen in the ring. dude was 300 pounds and moved like a damn lightweight. he had some of the best moves I've ever seen for a big man. on another note... i love how you put the superbad clip in there and changed the faces... very funny.

  • the moral of this story is...........never trust a guy with a mullet and a fanny pack

  • Can I just say one thing :

    FUCK VINCE MCMAHON!!

  • Why?

  • R.I.P. Mike Awesome

  • When are you gonna get your ass backed to work.

    Mike Awesome jumping ship is all Paul Heymans fault.

  • @EdmondSwitch how is it hi

  • Joey Styles is insane. I'd have left ECW for a HUGE WCW contract in 2 seconds.

  • JR is better then joey, but thats not said to take anything away from joey styles.

  • who can blame mike, guys in ecw didnt even know if theyd get paid for night from another. the guys got a family, a guaranteed contract is what he needed. he had alot of talent and jumping ship to wcw as the ecw champ was the perfect oppertunity to come in with a lot of momentum. WCW then of course screwed it up from there.

  • I can understand why joey is mad but come the hell on 200,000 contract is not bad at all but when EZE and WCW saying hey look we'll give you a million to sign with us. My ass would of jump ship to lol.

  • I bet joey felt bad though- about half way thru the awesome-tanaka match he calls "suicide dive by mike awesome, and it's a shame he didn't succeed in taking his own life".

    Two yrs later, mike awesome was found dead in his own house after killing himself.

    R.I.P mike

  • Another thing, Joey can KO people. Look at JBL.

  • the WWE version of ECW is when Lawler had the name right: Extremely Crappy Wrestling

  • Styles gonna burst!

  • Final nail in ECW's coffin. Vinne Mac's wet dream of a muslce up freak Ezekiel Jackson killing the ECW name by winning and retiring the title. (Christianw as meant to but Vinne Mac wanted a muscled up freak to be the final champ as Vinnie Mac's wet dream has to come true)

  • i know one the december to dismember ecw ppv killed it to with sabu being replased by hardcore holly

  • Punk was meant to win the chamber. Lashley and Punk were meant to be final two, Punk was clearly over and Heyman wanted him to be champion. Vinnie Mac wanted the muscle freak as champ instead. December to Dismember's card was meant to be interesting apparently, Vinne Mac hated Heymans idea and changed it to the shit known as one of the worst ppv's in wwe history. Heyman > Vinne Mac

  • actually sabu was suppose to but then sabu decided to quit so they replaced him with hardcore holy then they decided to give it to lashley afterward heyman quit

  • @slowdude you may not like him but do you think Test might've had a good title run?

  • @DeidaraXL

    Who don't i like? I don't like Vinnie Mac yeah.

    I don't mind Jackson (his theme kicks ass)

    What does Test have to do with what i said? If your talking about Test winning the ECW title then no he would of sucked royaly. If he had won the WWE title at the end of 1999 instead of the Big Show (at survivor series) then yes as that more sense then Big Show winning back then.

  • @slowdude i think vince did that so he could just beat a black man in handicap match for the ecw title im black and i feel affended by that

  • hey i want to see all the 100 ways! where can i find them?

  • RIP ECW :((((

  • Here's one way,make Goldust the new ecw champion.

  • @howardtheman that would be goooddddd

  • 100 Ways to Kill ECW: # 1 : McMahon ECW Champion

  • @wwexsw no, number 1 is not having paule near it.

  • @wwexsw #2: Firing Paul Heyman.

  • @wwexsw Vince or Shane? At least Shane was hardcore.

  • @wwexsw ECW was already dead when that happened. ECW and WWECW is not the same.

  • lol HHH was ECW Champ. What hasnt he done. lol

  • i think HHH has pretty much done it all, I heard he even eat ranch dressing out of Vince McMahon's asshole.

  • I guess you didn't know HHH was ECW champion.....cuz he never was ECW champion. lol

  • @Rayla840 if you saw how i said it, it was a joke fool. lol

  • @willieg54 i never had much problem with him but damn, he got stale after beating EVERYBODY...

    guess he really is the king of kings...

  • why did mike awsome hang himself in 2007? :s

  • 3 days before he hung himself his wife wanted a divorce. Many say that was the motive.

  • Can anyone really blame Mike Awesome? ECW was really dying, worse than WCW at the time. Almost all it's talent left to either the WWF or WCW plus many of them were either getting payed a mediocre salary, or not getting payed at all!

    R.I.P. Mike Awesome.

  • I wonder how Joey feels about Awesome killing himself.....

    Still mad? I think not....

    Awesome needed to get paid to live but ended up feeling so bad about It that well you know the rest...

  • I don't blame Awesome ECW bounced checks

  • Holy Crap! I never saw that ONS footage. Joey told it the way it is and he was 100% right. Awesome should of never been invited to ONS

  • It was probably edited out of the DVD release. Of course, fan chants weren't.

  • Sure , even old ECW had bad moments , but that is nothing compared to how much that shitstain on SyFy blows dick every Tuesday

  • ECW on syfy has nothing to do with the real ECW, but its quite a good wrestling show, Christian vs Regal the other week was one of the best matches of the year

  • Well I hope you enjoyed that match, cuz ECW will be gone after the New Year.

  • ouch joey called awesome a judas

    If I recall judas killed himself..

    as did awesome.

    sad

  • ecw 1992-2001 all the yeaers my dads watched it and around 1997 i watched it was HARDCORe and extreme to whole new level golden timne gloden time RIP MIKE

  • lmao I always loved that smackdown after Taz won.."he won it on a day off..." though having Taz lose to HHH was BS...

  • yeah and king saying what he said.

  • SUPER BAD FUCK YEAH

  • where did u get that ECW font from?

  • joey, joey, joey, that's no way to speak of the dead. haha but yeah he made a good point

  • Where did you get the ECW font?

  • r.i.p. rcw

  • ecw rip

  • In the ONS match Joey even said "I hope he takes his own life". Good one Joey, I hope your proud!

    RIP

    Mike Awesome

  • Man you talk about a straight shoot on Mike Awesome, Joey Styles DOES make a valid point.

    Albeit he was a great athlete, he had it made in ECW but sometimes in real life money always takes away from tradition and albeit he was a judas.

    But never the less, he will be missed and was one of my all time favorites.

    RIP

  • wow joey did get angry! donder does he regret saying that now

  • lol joey rage meter

  • Joey! Joey! Joey! Joey!

  • lol wow joey called him a judas

    not a compliment

  • R.I.P Mike Awesome

  • Thats crazy, A WWE wrestler vs a WCW wrestler in an ECW ring....

  • ...but it happened. man that was a golden time in wrestling.

  • You left out him predicting Awesome's suicide.

  • hey 8bit, you should do a series of videos called, "TNA, 2 steps forward, a marathon back."

  • y did they hav taz win it when he was with wwf then hav dreamer beat him in seconds, y didn't they hav dreamer beat awesome

  • because having a WWF wrestler beat a WCW wrestler was sticking it to WCW.

  • RIP MIKE AWESOME

  • Well hey if Obama won the Title Joey would reaaaally be going nuts.

  • it was kind of surprising to hear joey styles is a hardcore repub. nothing is wrong with that. but when look at his history. he worked for a rebel company that featured lesbian angles, extramarital affairs, strippers, vulgar language, a cruxification, the exploitation of kids. it is very ironic.

  • Also Jim Cornette is a hardcore democrat considering he is very old school and traditional when it comes to wrestling. I guess wrestling preference does not coincide with politics.

  • The company was a tv show, real life is well.... real life. And the man knows what works in real life.

  • lmfao

  • Mike Awesome looked like a younger Roddy Piper.

  • the rage meter is really funny

  • lolz. Don't get Joey angry, you won't like him when he's angry.

  • Gotta make more of these 8bit, these are Awesome.

  • to me it looks like theres only 3ways to kill ECW so far

  • Comment removed

  • Well Joey said he was making a 6 figure salary thats enough to support his family if thats true.

  • Comment removed

  • and besides WCW was paying Mike $1,000,000, $1M vs. $250K (which is what I hear he was making) and not having to get chair shots and barbed wire for the $1M I'd jump too. But I can udnerstand them being angry about not giving a notice and subsequently burying the ecw title: having it change hands 3 times in 2 weeks and having Tazz lose to Triple H on RAW.

  • Actually gameshowfreak when Tazz lost to Triple H it was on an episode of SmackDown not RAW.

  • joey was angry that he tried to tarnish the ecw title on wcw television. taz and sabu never tried to hurt ecw when they left other then the absence of there talent.

  • It's all just a work guys. Obviously Paul E and WCW agreed to let Awesome be announced as the ECW champion, probably to cut his contract w/ ECW short so he could go to WCW. That was basically free promotion on WCW TV for ECW.

  • take a chill pill joey CHILL

  • Chill JOEY Chill!

  • caaaaaaalm down

  • Joey Styles is the best commentator ever. He is a true legend the WWE have no idea what real talent is. I met Joey prior to WM23 and he is the nicest guy you could ever meet.

  • @528560

    Without a doubt a talent. He was the only commentator who could pull off the job of calling a wreslting match all by himself! He called the match and did color commentary!

  • Relax Joey, he's dead now.

  • Joey Styles will kick Awsome's ass just as he did to JBL.

  • Wow, Joey, how do you REALLY feel about Mike Awesome?

  • lol at the rage meter great

  • Awesome claims tha paul did not pay him to the point he was about to lose his house

  • At the One Night Stand PPV, Joey Styles also says 'I hope Awesome takes his own life'

    Oops! :S

  • he did? you have a link?

  • just look for one night stand (the first one) and the part where Mike is performing

  • thanks

  • I noticed it when watching the DVD of the event about six months back. If you have the DVD of ONS 2005, check it out.

  • styles was commenting on the suicide plancha i think playing the heel

  • lmfao!

  • when are the 100 ways going to continue?

  • ecw was awesome and todays ecw may not be extreme but it more like wcw talented guys who fight for like 30 min and it gets u on ur feet. in my opinion both ecw's rule
