Posted November 21, 201014 yr comment_5458476 Sandman goes to the back to get the title after the introductions and gets ambushed by a chair wielding Raven as he emerges from the curtain. Raven with a bunch of cane shots and Sandman is really looking like he is in extreme pain. Sandman reverses Raven into the steel then, suplexes him on the railing and hits his vaulting plancha/cane shot. Sandman chops Raven in the face and then hits him with some good punches. Raven retreats into the crowd and then pull Sandman over the barricade with him. Sandman carries Raven around the Arena bumping him into every object he can find. Sandman takes a wild flip bump onto and ultimately over a pile of chairs. The crowd starts chanting "hockey rink" and Sandman takes a wild leaping bump into the cage that surrounds the rink. Raven piledrives Sandman through a table. They brawl back to the ring and Raven sets up a chair but Sandman whips him into it. Sandman hits a DDT but Lori runs into the ring so Sandman rips her dress off and spanks her. Raven blindsides him with a cane shot and a DDT and goes for the pin but the BWO's music hits. They distract Raven and Sandman ends up spitting beer in his eyes. Raven hits members of the BWO and Richards ends up "accidentally superkicking Sandman for the finish after arguing with Raven. This is probably the best Raven/Sandman singles match I can remember seeing even with the overbooked finish.
December 8, 201014 yr comment_5459987 Sandman vs. Raven (12/21/96) - Sandman bleeds before the match starts and I can dig a good blood match. We’ll see if it happens. It turns out to be a pretty decent brawl and they spend little time in the ring before wandering out a 2nd time. I enjoyed this match also but I am not feeling the nomination. This felt more like an angle on a RAW than a match Fun stuff but I think we may have better stuff from both guys on the set even if it isn't against each other.
January 26, 201114 yr comment_5463130 ECW World Heavyweight Title: Raven © vs. The Sandman (12/21/96) This was a pretty good all over the building brawl as they went everywhere but the hockey rink pretty much plus you had some blood which was always a plus. The bWo then came out as Raven had Sandman pinned then Stevie got involved in the match "accidentally" hitting Sandman with the Superkick giving Raven the win. This was one of the better matches between these two and I think it should at least get some consideration.
