Posted July 24, 201015 yr comment_5453516 This had no god damn business being as good as it was but this is Hardcore Heaven 99 which apparently is the best major show this company ever ran (who knew?) and there really arent' any bad matches. They do a good job setting this up as a blood feud pre-match with Bubba talking about how they beat Taz' cousins ass earlier that night. Taz hits the ring and after forcing Bubba to the outside announces it is Falls Count Anywhere and they proceed to have a really solid brawl. Bubba is pretty great taunting the crowd throughout and even though he doesn't have much in the way of offense other than clubbering, Taz bleeds a fucking gusher and the crowd stays molten for Bubba's antics. At one point Taz is covered in blood and starts screaming for Bubba to hit him and you think you are going to get no selling midget Taz but he sells the blood loss and after they throw a ref through a table he takes a very effective nearfall off of a Bubba bomb. Finally makes a comeback with a Tazplex though table and tazmission for the finish. This was not a great match, but I'm going to give it a low end nomination as it is something that hit right on several notes and both guys came out of this looking like tough sons of bitches.
August 5, 201015 yr comment_5453960 Bubba stalking around the ring reminded me of a fat, bloated Randy Orton. Fun match but I am not thinking "One of the best matches in ECW History" vibe. Tazz bleeding was a nice touch but I think ECW relied too heavily on the Falls Count Anywhere stip. Most of the time, the finish is in the ring anyway. It gets bonus points for two guys having a better match than it had any right to be but two matches from this show are already a lock. Two more should be a lock. I think we can leave this one off and leave it for a Tazz comp down the road... not that I plan on ever making a Tazz comp.
October 20, 201014 yr comment_5457445 Falls Count Anywhere Match: "Human Suplex Machine" Taz vs. Buh Ray Dudley (5/16/99) This had been setup throughout the show with angles and this was a pretty fun brawl with Taz juicing big and both men really hitting hard showing their toughness. Buh Buh really got to shine on Taz here who rarely was beaten up like this during his megapush. The finish run was pretty good too and I'm with Dylan here in that this should move forward for at least some consideration.
