ECW Magazine: February 2000
ECW Pay-Per-View
ANARCHY RULZ
SEPT. 19, 1999 ODEUM THEATRE CHiCAGO, iL
by Dave Scherer
Extreme Championship Wrestling ushered in a new era at Anarchy Rulz on Sept. 19 at the Odeum Theatre in suburban Chicago, Ill. 
Mike Awesome was crowned the new ECW world heavyweight champion in his federation return. He crashed the scheduled title match between Taz and Masato Tanaka and turned it into a three-way dance. Awesome’s victory ended Taz’s eight-month title reign. 
Financially, it was a record evening for ECW. The company set an all-time record for fan attendance at an event (6,700) and gate revenue (drawing about $210,000). When the quality of the show is added into the equation - quite possibly the best pay-per-view any federation held in 1999 - it’s not difficult to understand why everyone left the Odeum smiling. The crowd made the great show even better with its vocal enthusiasm. 
The announcing duo of Joey Styles and Cyrus The Virus did an outstanding job calling the action for the fans at home. There were even a few celebrities in attendance, as both Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins and Joe C. from Kid Rock were seen backstage. 
Fans at the Odeum were warmed up with a dark match featuring Danny Doring and Amish Roadkill against Wild Bill Wiles and C.W. Anderson. The match was all Doring and Roadkill, as the young tandem punished their opponents before Roadkill pinned Wiles with a big splash from the top turnbuckle. 
The show began for viewers at home with a video showing Tanaka arriving at the Odeum by car. As Steven Prazak asked him questions, which Tanaka ignored, Judge Jeff Jones interrupted them and told Tanaka he did not deserve to waltz back into ECW from Japan and get a world title shot. Tanaka pushed Jones to the side and left the scene. Jones then told the audience he had an “awesome” surprise for Tanaka. 
lance storm (with dawn marie) vs. jerry lynn
This match was the technical masterpiece everyone expected it to be. Lance Storm, as usual, was accompanied by the beautiful Dawn Marie. Even though Lynn came to the ring with his bruised ribs taped up, the injury did not stop him from wrestling in his breathtaking style. In fact, Lynn was in control most of the match. After 10 minutes of action, both men attempted numerous pinfall attempts to no avail. Dawn Marie then involved herself in the match by handing Storm a chair, which he wedged in the corner between the ropes. Eventually, Lynn hit Storm with a DDT directly on the chair after it was taken out of the ropes. Despite that devastating move, Storm fought his way back and got the win when he rolled Lynn up for at the pin in 16:36.
chris chetti, nova and jazz vs. tony debit, simon diamond and tom marquez
Simon Diamond came to ringside and after making fun of Tom Marquez, challenged anyone from the back to come out and wrestle him. Jazz took him up on it, but Diamond weaseled his way out of the match and convinced Marquez to wrestle her instead. After Jazz quickly got the upper hand, Diamond and Tony Deito ran in and attacked her. Nova and Chris Chetti then came out and made the save for Jazz. It turned into a free-for-all when Amish Roadkill and Danny Doring entered the ring. Then, Rod Price, C.W. Anderson, Bill Wiles, Vito LoGrasso and Spanish Angel all charged the ring and joined the fray. This set the stage for New Jack, who appeared with a shopping cart full of weapons. New Jack attacked everyone and cleared the ring. He ended the match by using a staple gun on Price’s head and finished him off with a guitar.
yoshihiro tajiri vs. super crazy vs. little guido (with big sal e. graziano)
The next match was an example of a true ECW original, the three-way dance. Yoshihiro Tajiri, Super Crazy and Little Guido gave it everything they had in the ring, and out of the ring as well. In the early part of the match, the wrestlers teamed up with each other when it was to their advantage and attacked each other when it wasn’t. Guido was the first to be eliminated. He was pinned in 9:17 after Tajiri pasted him with a kick in the face while he was tied in the “Tree of Woe,” followed up with a moonsault by Crazy. Then, Tajiri and Crazy battled for a while until Tajiri nailed Crazy with a nasty brainbuster and got the pin in 14:37.
justin credible (with jason) vs. sabu (with bill alfonso)
After months of coming close to getting his hands on one half of the Impact Players, Sabu finally got Justin Credible in the ring. Before the match, Credible, with his manager Jason, showed referee Jim Molineaux restraining order he had to keep Sabu away from him. Molineaux agreed it was a valid legal document, but then told Credible that since this was ECW’s Anarchy Rulz, he was going to have to face Sabu anyway. When ring announcer Bob Artese refused to announce Credible as the winner of the match, Credible layed him out with a cane shot to the head. Then, the lights went out and when they came back on Sabu was in the ring. The match turned into everything fans have come to expect from Sabu. Sabu used chairs as launching pads and busted open Credible’s eye after putting him through a table. Jason tried to interfere but Sabu hit him with a legdrop. Credible used this distraction to cane Sabu. Credible finally got the pin in 14:04 after he hit “That’s Incredible” on Sabu. 
taz (c) vs. mike awesome (with judge jeff jones) vs. masato tanaka for ecw world heavyweight title
After Taz and Masato Tanaka came to the ring, Awesome appeared in the crowd with Judge Jeff Jones. Taz took the microphone and dared Awesome to jump the barricade and come into the ring to fight him. ECW Executive Producer Paul Hayman, who was at ringside, tried to hold Awesome back. Taz announced he wanted to fight both Awesome and Tanaka, and Heyman granted his wish by turning the match into a three-way dance for the heavyweight title. Tanaka and Awesome teamed up to pin Taz in 2”00 after Awesome hit a frog splash from the top turnbuckle. Many of the ECW wrestlers were on the ramp during the match watching the bout. Tanaka and Awesome then renewed their feud - which they started in ECW rings during the summer of 1998 - by practically killing each other for the next 11 minutes. Awesome creamed Tanaka with an Awesome Bomb through a table and got the pin at 13:46. Taz then came back to ringside, kissed the belt and presented it to its new owner or a huge pop from the crowd.
tommy dreamer (with francine) and raven (c) vs. steve corino and rhino (with jack victory) for ecw world tag team title
Joel Gertner interviewed Tommy Dreamer, who was accompanied by Francine, about the status of both his injured back and the ECW tag team title, which he held with his enemy, Raven. Dreamer said he was not listening to the doctors anymore and that he was in Chicago to fight. Steve Corino came out with Rhino and Jack Victory and degraded Dreamer on the mic. Corino then sent Rhino in to attack Dreamer. Dreamer dominated Rhino until Corino came back to ringside with a ladder. Rhino got the upper hand and as he was about to put Dreamer away, Francine ran in and attacked him. Rhino slammed her to the mat. Then out of nowhere, Raven appeared and hit a DDT on Rhino. Raven and Dreamer then hit DDTs on Corino and Victory and pinned them both retaining the titles in 3:23.
rob van dam (with bill alfonso) vs. balls mahoney for ecw world television title
Before the main event, Axl Rotten welcomes Mike Awesome back to ECW and said he would like a shot at Awesome’s heavyweight title. Lance Storm, Justin Credible and Johnny Smith came out and said Rotten was out of line for asking for what was theirs. The Impact Players said they should get the first title shot at the new champion. When they ordered Rotten to rescind his challenge, Rotten chose to fight even though he was outnumbered. Balls Mahoney and Spike Dudley appeared and cleared the ring, with Mahoney knocking Smith out of his scheduled main event match against Rob Van Dam by nailing Smith in the head with a chairshot. Rotten then took the mic and said Van Dam needed a new opponent and suggested the champ put the title on the line against Mahoney. Van Dam, with manager Bill Alfonso, accepted the challenge. Mahoney and Van Dam brawled around ringside for the first five minutes of the match. Once back in the ring, they traded their extensive arsenal of moves, with both men scoring numerous near falls. Near the end, Mahoney hit Van Dam in the head with his signature “Anarchy Rulz” chair, but Alfonso broke the count when he entered the ring and hit Mahoney with a chair shot on Alfonso and prepared to hit Van Dam with another. However, Van Dam spring in the air and nailed Mahoney with the Van Daminator, getting a two count. Van Damn then climbed to the top rope and hit the five star frog splash to retain his title in 19:36. After the match, the men embraced and the crowd cheered.

Raven x Fem Reader- "I Need a Lap Dance"
In the 1990's, ECW was a professional wrestling company known for doing things that other wrestling companies, especially mainstream ones like the WWF and WCW, didn't do.
What was that?
Being excessively very violent, serious and not very cartoonish and childish, using profanity, sexualized and even shocking.
After all, ECW stands for Extreme Championship Wrestling.
Granted, the WWF by the end of the 1990's did get edgier, more violent, more sexualized and added some shock value with their Attitude era, but the Attitude era really didn't come about until the end of the 1990's.
Some people could even say the Attitude era was just a rip-off of ECW; even some Attitude era icons like Mick Foley, the Dudley Boyz and even Stone Cold got their starts in ECW.
There were 2 kinds of women in ECW: women who were legitimate wrestlers that did try to do wrestling matches (i.e. Luna Vachon, Miss Congeniality/Angelica who would later on become Lita in the WWE, and Jazz) and women that were just there to be valets and fap material (Beulah McGillicutty, Francine, Missy Hyatt, Kimona Wanalaya).
You were the latter.
But...there's a positive to that.
Why? Because there were a few men in ECW who were hot and sexy, and you wanted to arouse these sexy men in ECW and be with them.
One of ECW's most famous alumni was Raven, a depressed, nihilistic grunge rocker with an abusive, troubled childhood.
Raven was perfect for the 1990's considering the grunge movement was at the height of its popularity and he was a wrestler many people could relate to.
Raven was probably one of the few men in ECW who actually was nice to look at, when his hair wasn't wet and covering his face and not drenched in blood.
One of Raven's signatures is that he sits on the ring's floor in the corner, he did that in ECW, WCW and even in the WWF/E.
Hmmm...sitting down, does that give you an idea?
It did, and you were gonna share and explain that idea with your body.
During Raven's arguable heyday in ECW, circa 1995 to 1997, he was sitting in the corner of the ring, resting his arms on the ropes.
His thick hair was dry, this is how you like the way he looks, and he was dressed in his signature black leather jacket, 90's rock band T-shirt and denim jeans cut at his knees with a flannel tied at his waist.
Several people were in the audience watching him as well as you, and this ECW moment was filmed on television.
You were dressed in micro-mini acid wash denim shorts that were cut off so short, they may as well be underwear and your ass cheeks were exposed, and your shorts were both unbuttoned and unzipped all the way down.
By the way, you didn't wear any underwear under those shorts, but your vagina was completely shaven without the slightest bit of pubic hair.
And luckily, you didn't have any red bumps, stubble and shaving cuts on your vulva, so above your twat was as smooth as the skin of a mannequin.
You also wore a makeshift crop top that tied a knot in between your breasts.
The men in the audience absolutely adored your outfit, some of them were reaching their arms and hands out trying to touch you and were making catcalls and wolf whistles at you.
What you did is that you slowly walked behind Raven, your index finger tracing and sliding across his back, which made Raven turn his head and look at you.
Blood was swelling his penis underneath his denim shorts, his shorts feeling tighter on his thighs, and he was already getting an erection seeing you in that outfit.
When you reached Raven's other shoulder, you lifted one of your legs off of the floor and placed it under the ropes, showing your long, smooth, hairless, Stacy Keibler-esque leg in front of him, and placed one of your hands on that leg, that hand caressing up your leg.
Your hand tried to not rub your leg too hard and make it red, that would be unsexy.
That hand that caressed your leg lifted off of your leg and grabbed onto one of the ropes, and your hand behind Raven's back moved to one of the ropes, wrapping your fingers around a rope, where you carefully slid yourself under the ropes and entered the ring.
You were hoping that the shorts you were wearing wouldn't fall off of your ass, but they were snug around your rear.
Now that you were in the ring, with your legs spread apart horizontally and the upper half of your body bent over, showing Raven some of your cleavage, your other hand grabbed onto one of the ropes across from the ones you were currently holding onto, where you pulled yourself up from the ring's floor.
"Oh mi God!!" Joey Styles on commentary shrieked, and the men in the audience were still cheering you on, making all kinds of obscene catcalls and silly wolf whistles at you.
Raven, meanwhile, his eyes were staring at you in front of him, his face was completely straight and devoid of showing any emotion, although his eyes were looking at you in front of him.
When you were standing in front of Raven, you slightly bent your body over and still showed him your cleavage, while you stuck your ass out and slowly waved it back and forth horizontally, showing him your rear end despite your torso being in front of him instead of your back.
You smiled as you horizontally waved your ass back and forth, though you look a little corny smiling at him.
You then rotated your body around, where now your back was in front of Raven instead of your torso, and you showed Raven your denim clad ass cheeks, where you continued to horizontally wave your ass back and forth in front of him.
Your fingers were still wrapped around opposite ropes across from each other.
"Maybe we could get some music on!" Joey Styles exclaimed.
Indeed, music could set the mood, what's a lapdance without some music?
But what song would they play?
And while this will be an eventual lapdance, did you really need to stand up in front of Raven and shake your ass?
That's not technically a lapdance; which is when you dance on someone's lap.
The audience must think Raven must be gay since he isn't reacting to you being practically naked shaking your ass in front of him.
It's a good thing Raven wears those flannels tied around his waist to hide his erection.
You then dropped yourself down to the ring on your knees, your fingers letting go of the ropes and you sat on your knees, only for you to roll yourself over and rotate until your face was looking at Raven's face.
You rotated your body using your knees to spin yourself around.
With your hands on top of your thighs, you spread your thighs out and show him your denim clad crotch, only for you to lift your hands and place them on the ring.
You proceeded to crawl up to Raven like Shakira in the "Whenever, Wherever" video where she's crawling in the mud, looking like a panther on the prowl.
As you crawled up to Raven, you were looking at him quite ravenously (and no, that wasn't a pun), grinning from ear to ear whilst you crawled up to him, looking at him like you wanted to pounce on him.
Your ass was sticking out as you crawled to him, the audience knew what was probably gonna come next.
When you had approached Raven, with you now being in between his legs, you lifted your legs and sat your thighs on top of his thighs, you straddled your lap on his crotch.
You could feel his erection hiding inside of his denim shorts that just kept growing and growing while you tried sexually arousing him.
First, you thrust your pelvis out and nudged it on his lap, then you began to grind and gyrate your hips and lap forward on his lap, rolling your lap and crotch forward onto his erection.
This got a massive pop from the males in the audience, you could play a drinking game with how many wolf whistles the men in the audience made at you and end up with alcohol poisoning.
"Oh mi God!!" Joey Styles exclaimed. "She-she's givin' him a lapdance!"
No duh.
As you rolled your pelvis on Raven's lap, you placed your hands on top of your head and ran your fingers through your hair, as well as swung your head back like this:
Tumblr media
You were trying to look sexy and turn Raven on, which is what you were doing.
Raven, meanwhile, sat there with a straight face, and surprisingly didn't try pushing you off of him.
Again, the males in the audience probably think Raven's gay since he isn't cracking even the slightest of smiles with a sexy, beautiful half naked woman grinding her pelvis on his lap, giving him a lapdance.
Although, one man in the audience chanted "Raven's got a wood-y!", which ended up spreading to the other men in the audience, chanting along with that guy.
Why didn't they chant that when you waved your ass in front of him?
As you were giving Raven this lapdance, you moved your hands to his leather jacket and slightly pulled his jacket sleeves down his arms.
His eyes looked at your hands sliding his sleeves down his arms, but he didn't have much of a reaction.
Your fingers let go of his jacket and moved to his chest, where your hands proceeded to caress up and down his chest, and not just that, but one of your hands slipped under his shirt and elevated up his bare torso, where that hand caressed and stroked up and down his chest.
His eyes darted to his chest with your hands caressing him, but he didn't even have the slightest smile when you caressed him.
Deep down inside, he loves this.
Oh yeah, he loves this.
You could see a bump underneath Raven's shirt, which was your hand under his shirt caressing his chest.
Your other hand, specifically your index finger, moved to one of the strands of his hair, where your index finger twirled one of his curls (that rhymed).
You leaned your face closer and further into his face until you sunk your teeth into his bottom lip, placing his bottom lip in between your teeth, and you tugged and stretched his bottom lip out.
You didn't bite into his bottom lip too hard, but you did stretch it a bit.
The camera was zooming in on your face stretching his bottom lip out, his lower lip stretching like taffy.
"Oh mi God!!" Joey Styles exclaimed and repeated once more, and some people in the audience could see that you were stretching his bottom lip out.
Your teeth let go of his lip, his bottom lip returning to his face.
After a while, you exited your hand out of Raven's shirt through the bottom of it and lifted your hand off of his chest, only for your hands to form knuckles at your breasts.
Your knuckles pushed and raised your cleavage in front of him, and his eyes stared at your cleavage.
Some men in the audience can see that you're pushing your tits out, and they're wolf whistling at you, some men are even chanting "take it off! take it off!" and "show us your tits!".
You're tempted to untie your top and show him your breasts, but...maybe not. Sadly.
However, your hands pulled away from your chest, but you lifted one of your legs off of his thighs and moved your ass to one of his thighs, where you now straddled his thigh.
You proceeded to start rolling and gyrating hips forward on his thigh, like how you rolled your hips on his groin.
You rode his thigh like you were riding a mechanical bull, brushing your lap back and forth on his thigh.
Raven's eyes stared at you giving him this lapdance, but he isn't even cracking a smile.
You then lifted one of your legs over his thigh and turned your body around, where your ass was now nudging his groin and your back was in front of him.
You started to vertically roll your ass up on Raven's crotch, sometimes your ass brushed up and down his ass like a paintbrush painting a picket fence.
Sometimes, your hips and ass gyrated and writhed around in a 360 degree angle on his crotch.
"Raven's one lucky guy!" Joey Styles mentioned.
Is he Joey Styles or Jerry Lawler?
(Author's note: I haven't watched a lot of ECW, but apparently Joey Styles is ECW's most iconic commentator)
Surprisingly, during this lapdance, your shorts haven't slid and fallen off of your ass, you didn't even wear a belt to hold your shorts, but that's a good thing they didn't fall off.
Raven could've gotten this lapdance anywhere else, whether sitting on the floor of a locker room or janitor's closet, but you gave him a lapdance in the ring.
You giving Raven this lapdance as he sits in the corner and you're dressed in denim shorts resembling underwear seems like something Kimona Wanalaya would do, and she was a former stripper that Raven discovered at a strip club.
Kimona was also Raven's valet/girlfriend in ECW and she did a few stripteases in the company.
(Rumor has it is that the man who played Raven worked as a male stripper when he was a struggling wrestler just so he could pay the bills)
_____________________________________________________________
I haven't seen a lot of ECW footage, but I have seen some of Raven and I know he's an icon in that company.
There were moments where he tried grabbing Beulah McGillicutty only for her to give him a low blow in the nuts, and his moments with a scantily clad Kimona Wanalaya.
He didn't seem to really move that much when Sandman's wife was writhing all over him, though he did react when Kimona flashed her tits at him.
Wonder how Raven's character would react to a lapdance?

One of WWE’s original butt-kicking female wrestlers.  Jazz faced men in ECW (and beat up all their women) before dominating the women’s division in 2002 and 2003.
It’s too bad she was never utilized properly during her brief (literally one televised match only) 2006 return in ECW.

Could someone explain the appeal of wrestling?? Not that I think it’s bad, I’m just confused how it’s just the most popular thing lately?! I can understand other sports but how is WWE so huge?? I’m so, confused? How would you describe it?
Well, I can’t really answer “How is WWE so huge?” because it’s been like seven?  Ten?  Years since I’ve watched WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).
But I’ll glad to geek out about Wrestling!!!!!
Okay, so a little disclaimer here.  One, I am not in shape, way, or form, what someone will call a professional. I am a fan.  Also, this is just my opinion on this subject matter.  I’m a huge fan of wrestling going all the way back when I first started watching in ‘95!  And finally, I am not sponsored by any of these companies.  Ghoul, I wish!!!!
Alright so with that outta the way.  Let’s begin!!!!
Wrestling in itself is a very old and traditional sport going all back to the early eighteenth century.  Where wrestling in the Traveling Circus/Carnivals were very big and popular.  Now, during those days, they would have a very big and strong guy, usually around the 6 feet to (I think but don’t quote me on this) six foot six inches tall.  Now, back then that was extremely tall and big for man!!!!  Now, days the average height for a guy is around the five feet ten inches to six feet range.  During that time period, wrestling was a “Side Show.”  A way to draw in the big crowds by having their “Champion” take on any takers and see if they could defeat him or last I think it was five minutes in the ring with him.  If that won, they would win the big money.  I think it was a hundred dollars which would be around a thousand or so today.
Over the decades wrestling became more of a profession for a lot of people.  The 1940′s and 1950′s had so many legends during their days!  Some of the most famous ones are the Fabulous Moolah.  Moolah still to this day holds the World Record of the longest-reigning of the Women’s Championship.  1956 (when she first won it) - 1984 (when she lost it).  We also were introduced to Mae Young!  Another incredible wrestler then turned trainer for many young aspiring girls.  For the male side, we had Gorgeous George.  This man literally made the promoters of the 1940′s & 1950′s money!!!!  Buddy Rogers, one of the famous NWA Heavy Weight Champions and trainers there was.
Now, before Vincent McMahon Jr. came into the picture when he took over his father’s company in the 1960′s.  WWWF (World Wide Wrestling Federation), NWA (National Wrestling Association before was known as the National Wrestling Alliance), AWA (American Wrestling Association), ECWA (Eastern Championship Wrestling Association) and many others were known as Territory Promotions.  Meaning in many states you were only allowed to broadcast or work in that company and defend their Championship.
So, I don’t want to bore you with all these cool and fascinating details about all these companies and how some of them are still around and others faded out.  So, let’s fast-forward here.  Vincent Kennedy McMahon Jr. took over his father’s company and along the way literally re-institutionalized and re-visioned professional wrestling!  Now, we go to the 1980′s!
The 1980′s-1990′s we had quite a war!!!   WWF was literally the very first company to ever invent the term and the way to use it of pay-per-view!  And did their very first ever pay-per-view live!  WRESTLEMANIA!!!  I’m sure you know a lot of the wrestlers from that Era such as Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Jesse “the Body” Ventura, Ric Flair, The Four Horseman, Srg. Slaughter, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Sting, “The Brain” Bobby Heenan, Andre the Giant, “Classy” Freddie Blassie, The Ultimate Warrior, and many others.   But there was also another huge wrestling company that was also making its waves into the sport.
WCW (World Championship Wrestling).  This one you had many different wrestlers but the big thing that many people remember of WCW was the fans all-time favorite wrestler Hulk Hogan made a huge decision and it made headlines.  He left WWF and went to WCW (WWF’s competition).  When that happened many people started to tune in and watch.  Then Ric Flair also came by and the Four Horseman reunited.  Sting made his presence known and still many people remember his “Crow” face-paint and his vigilantly like style.
But the big thing that a lot of fans remember is when the “Face of the Company” the “Fans Hero” the “Face/Hero” turned on all the fans and joined the enemies!  Alright so let me fully explained this!  When Hulk Hogan left to join WCW two other wrestlers from WWF decided to give WCW a chance: Kevin Nash (aka Diesel) and Scot Hall (aka Razor Ramon).  When they jumped they truly made an impact (pun intended)!  When Nash and Hall came to WCW they were literally invading.  Crashing the broadcast booth, mocking the commentators “So, this is where the big boys play huh?  Well, we challenge any of the WCW guys to the two of us and our mystery partner”
Everyone including me was scrambling to figure out who the mystery partner was.  Every kind of theories was going around from another wrestler jumping ship to someone from WCW who was going to help Hall and Nash.  The big moment came at Bash at the Beach.  Hall and Nash cleaned house and Hogan came down the ramp and everyone including the announcers and commentators were cheering with fans upon seeing Hogan!  (I admit I was secretly bouncing in my seat).  But then, we all bared witness to the shock of all shock!  Hogan turned on WCW and joined Hall and Nash!  Forming the NWO (the New World Order) taking one anyone and everyone, taking over and seeking to bring down WCW.  This was a really good story-line and it was one the biggest swerve and one of the biggest story-lines that worked so well!
Now, I’m sure you saw me mention another wrestling company earlier in this post and might or might not have sounded familiar.  ECWA (Eastern Championship Wrestling Association) now, this company is still around.  It’s pretty big in the Indie Circuit (Independent Wrestling Promotions Circuit).  But in the 1990′s it was also known by another name thanks to the “Evil Genius” Paul E. Hayman.  ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling).  This was the first time that “Hardcore Wrestling” came about in the United States that was televised!  For the first time ever blood was actually seen on television!!!  Now, ECW was more than just the hardcore aspect and the blood.  It was all about giving the best show with very little money and minimal equipment.  Think, developing a fan-made movie and then post it on YouTube.
They didn’t have the money for lights, pyro, and all that jazz.  But what they did have was high-quality talent in wrestlers, best interviews, great promos that didn’t need a lot of effects.  Many of the fans really enjoy ECW and yes, the 2200 Arena is known as the ECW Arena.  That’s why when many companies perform out of there and they may have an ECW alumni wrestler, the fans will chant “ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW!”  ECW literally helped reshape wrestling today.
Okay, so that’s the history there.  As for why wrestling is so popular.  It’s basically a life story coming to life.  You have the faces (heroes) that the fans truly love to cheer for.  They’re the ones that you want to rally behind and believe in and are the face of the company in a way.  Then you have the Anti-Heroes.  They’re the ones that basically do what they want to do.  They’ll follow the rules if they wan too and at the same time they have no problem in breaking every single rule in the book!
Then you have the heels (the villains).  They’re the ones that break every single rule in the book known to man.  They don’t care about being liked.  They don’t care how they’re seen or portrayed.  They don’t care about lying, cheating and stealing they’re way to victory so long as they’re the ones on top!  Now, I’m not going to lie.  Sometimes, the villains are actually cheered when they’re not supposed to be.  Some examples are, Tripple H, The Undertaker, Kane, Abyss, The Main Event Mafia, LAX (Latin American Exchange) The Elite, Bullet Club, The Broke Hardy (although they were more the anti-heroes then villains), you get the idea.
Many, companies today like ROH, AAA, MLCW, New Japan, AEW, MCW, literally have sports of wrestling.  Where you get to see the pathetic abilities and the “Mic Skills” during promos and interviews and a combination of story-line to give the fans and viewers the best show there is.
Hope this helps.  And sorry for the long post.  If you can’t tell.  I’m a huge wrestling fan!

My Review
Anarchy Rulz ‘99 takes place at a noteworthy point in ECW history. The promotion launched a cable show on TNN a month before the event. Normally this would be a cause for celebration, a major accomplishment for such a renegade promotion that persisted in the war between the WWF and WCW. However, ECW’s relationship with TNN was rocky from the start and its downfall would be one of the key components in hastening the promotion’s demise. They were also soon to lose its reigning heavyweight champion Taz to the WWF, who they’d been banking on to be a featured star on the TNN show. Stranger days were definitely ahead.
Perhaps reflective of the time period, the show itself is all over the place. It’s enjoyable enough, but there’s a lot of strange booking that totally loses me. It probably doesn’t help that I didn’t really watch ECW in its prime. A lot of it is presented to me completely removed from the context. Brawls transition into matches, matches unravel into brawls. It’s all pretty jarring to watch if you’re more familiar with the structure of, say, your typical WCW or WWF pay-per-view of the time. It also probably doesn’t help that ECW pay-per-views tend to not reveal a whole lot of backstory to the matches on the card. There are some scraps you can piece together in regards to the storylines of the time, but don’t expect the cinematic hype packages of your average WWE production that’ll help clue you in.
As for what works, I enjoy the opener and the two three-way dances quite a bit. The three-way for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship makes the bold choice to write out Taz minutes in, which results in us getting a taste of the Mike Awesome/Masato Tanka feud that continues to receive heaps of praise to this day. Amazingly though, in the trend of strange booking on this show, it doesn’t close out the night. The show lingers on for another hour or so, instead ending with a TV title match to showcase Rob Van Dam. It’s not a bad match or anything, but it can’t help but feel like a flat way to end things.
What really jumps out at me watching this show is that ECW seems to be peaking in terms of popularity and production values. From a commercial perspective, this is one of the most successful shows in the promotion’s history, especially in terms of attendance. The Odeum Expo Center may not be the grandest venue in the world, but it’s a major upgrade from the hole-in-the-wall venues of yore. ECW’s production always looked rough, and the promotion always prided itself on that, but things look much more polished by this point. We’re getting a product that still looks gritty as hell without it seeming they only have a budget of five dollars.
Overall, Anarchy Rulz ’99 sees ECW reaching some serious highs, with a feeling that things are soon to fall apart. There’s plenty of anarchy, and some of it is pretty fun, but there are definitely points where you’ll wish for a bit more order.
My Random Notes
So Cyrus decides to prove he’s brilliant and intellectually superior to everyone by culturally appropriating the bindi. Do I have that right?
Sad sign of the times: Simon Diamond cuts a promo about how women are only good for T&A and the crowd agrees.
I don’t think I’m breaking any new ground here by noting, but it’s amazing how often ECW equates “being extreme” with “being misogynistic and homophobic.” None of this shocks me, mind you, but it’s nonetheless aged appallingly. All the jabs thrown at Dawn Marie in the opening bout alone tells you everything you need to know. Also, how many times does the crowd chant about a male wrestler sucking dick?
Nova is dressed like he’s ready to joust for legions of tourists at the Excalibur Resort in Las Vegas. Tony DeVito, meanwhile, is dressed like he just finished some yard work around the house.
Amazing how many guys here would make up WWE’s mid card in the early to mid ‘00s. Super Crazy vs. Nunzio is definitely something that happened on Velocity once or twice. I don’t have proof, but I’m convinced it happened.
Who the fuck is Johnny Smith? Who the fuck is Judge Jeff Jones? Who the fuck is Tom Marquez?
I always roll my eyes at ECW using insider terms like “heat” or “getting over” or some shit. I’m sure it’s probably something that was seen as clever or edgy back in ’99, but it only makes me think about the cringe-worthy worked shoot garbage Vince Russo loves.
Slightly off-topic, but all the talk about ECW on TNN got me thinking about Roller Jam, which is a show I thought I just imagined but am happy to know it was real. I dare you to check it out. You’ll never dog the acting in professional wrestling ever again.
