Don't think this made the SC top 100, but it should have and it is solid nomination for the set. Both guys are just bump freaks in this and RVD as bump freak is pretty much the only good RVD. Early Bigelow dominates with faceplanting bumps and powerbombs and chairshots on RVD. Then Bigelow does this really awesome rana counter off the guardrail and Bigelow takes a flip bump onto the guardrail and then a bump over the guardrail backwards off a kick. Then Van Dam vaults over the guardrail onto him. That whole sequence is great and followed up by a RVD dive that is really awesome as he sort of recklessly leaps with his whole body flailing like a little kid diving into the deep end for the first time. Then RVD hits Bigelow with a diving clothesline for another backward bump over the guardrail by Bigelow that leads to yet another great RVD dive. The Van Dam offensive section in the ring is really sloppy, but it culminates with him taking a huge cross ring bump off of a slingshot. Really loved the spot with RVD fighting off a suplex attempt, so Bammer just drops him on his head with a DDT. Bigelow takes a huge flip senton bump off the top to set up brief comeback, but Bam Bam just takes a chair and tosses it right into RVD's face at maximum velocity. Shitty botched Van Daminator ref bump spot that I forgive only because Van Dam follows up with his staple flying bump into the crowd. Candido runs in and gets Greetings From Asbury Park and then Tammy and Francine run in (Francine's dress actually falls off before she even gets in the ring). Van Dam steals win after Douglas distraction spot. This has a lot of silly shit, but it is one of Bammer's better ECW matches, and has some insane bumping.

Was this ever on a commercial release?

House Party 98. Same with the Scorp/Taz match that I tepidly nominated.

"The Whole F'N Show" Rob Van Dam vs. "Beast from the East" Bam Bam Bigelow (1/10/98)

 

I love this as the battle of big bumpers with Bammer bringing the power game while RVD brings his shitty offense and insane dives. The bumps these guys take here especially Bammer was really fucking good. The finish run was fun even with all the bullshit that went on and this is a easy nomination.
