There was a few in ECW. Sandman and Cactus Jack had 2 matches. Dory and Terry funk vs The Public enemy had one I really liked other then the excessive layers of clothes. I count Sabu vs Sandman stairway to hell as one. It wasn't a no ropes barbwire match but was maybe even more brutal. Balls had an explosive barbwire board match which I think was ECW. I forget against who though. There were alot more where Barbwire showed up in matches but not as a stipulation. Long Live Raven's Nipple Tape
idk what the arguments are but in my estamation, this match and others like it are great. i do like some of the 90's with steve austin and RVD in the wwf but my favorite is the extreme, fuck you up for life, bloody matches. The term "Garbage wrestling" should be givin to garbage like the miz and other people who are PG advocates. I aint sayin they shouldnt have they shows, but us extreme fans should still have ours.
@just2rateandcomment That's only in America though. Have you looked at any Lucha Libre from Mexico or Puroresu from Japan? And in terms of American wrestling, have you tried ROH?
@azrielseclements You were kidding, right? Wrestling in the U.S. sucks right now, in a big way, but you have the guts to suggest Lucha Libre or Puroresu as worth watching instead? Give me a break. Neither of them have any redeeming factors whatsoever.
If someone really wants to watch wrestling, tell them to stick to 1980's wrestling, with a bit of 1990's added as well. But Japan and Mexico have made unwatchable crap for 30 years now, and the U.S. is going on 15 years itself.
@aceldamahotel Japan's been making unwatchable crap for 30 years? Then watch matches between or featuring the All-Japan famous 5 (Misawa, Kawada, Taue, Kobashi & Akiyama), Jumbo Tsuruta, KENTA, Naomichi Marufuji & gaijins like Terry & Dory Funk, Brody, Vader, Stan Hansen & the late Dr Death Steve Williams. In particular, look at matches that have been rated 5 stars by Dave Meltzer. If you haven't seen any of them, then you have no way to justify your claim, making your argument a shallow one.
Problem is there was not structure? THis is a story which had no start middle or ending? Does anyone agree this is where things could have gone wrong?
This is gruesome!!! YOu gotta LOVE what you do whenever you something like this!! Not mention they wasnt really gettin paid like that. How creative do you gotta b to have a great wrestling match and have no ropes? Genius!! ECW!! ECW!! ECW!!
I am watching this for the first time and am very, very jealous of anyone who got to see this back in 1996. My parents shut down our satellite during this period. It was terrible.
sabu did that. and his barbed match with terry funk was fuckin crazy. they had two use wire cutters cuz they were completely intertwined and the barbs were about to slice open their throats and stomachs. so check that match out.
dude it is a crazy match. sabu tore open his bicep and taped it shut and went on with the match. he was gonna do air sabu to terry funk. funk moved and sabu hit the barbwire. it was a brutal match
as much as that does sound like it would be an insanely crazy match thats a stupid question because they would literally kill each other in something like that
5 cane shots to the head and sandman still didn't fall one tough cunt

20% of wrestling died when WCW was bought out
30% of wrestling died when ECW was bought out
40% of wrestling died after 2006
10% of wrestling died when PG kicked in (which was the cherry on top)
only hope we got is TNA which is the last thing WRESTLING has for now
