History Awesome / ECW

** Wrestling/ThePublicEnemyWrestler invited the crowd into the ring to celebrate after one match. The ring was ''packed''; fans were right up against one another. When they all started jumping up and down to the music...well, of course you can guess what happened: The ring collapsed. And the fans loved it.

** Cena vs. RVD at ''One Night Stand'' '06. RVD was just a third wheel in this match; Cena vs. Crowd is far more entertaining. Fans throw Cena's shirt at him multiple times, and Cena just keeps throwing it back. The best part is Tony Lewis, the guy who ran [=StrictlyECW.com=], wiping his ass with the shirt before throwing it back and flipping him off. Like Joey Styles said, it’s like a Christian being thrown to the lions.

** [[Wrestling/MickFoley Cactus Jack]] signaling for someone, ''anyone'', in the crowd to throw him and/or his opponent partner Terry Funk a chair to use on the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-t.html NWA ECW Tag Team Champions]] Wrestling/ThePublicEnemyWrestler, who had interrupted their main event match at ''ECW Hardcore Heaven 94'', August 13.. What happens next? EVERYONE in the first few rows throws their chairs into the ring. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeYYgILJP1E Don't ask for folding chairs from the audience,]] because the audience will ''fucking deliver.'' This footage would be part of ECW's promo packages up until the end.

** Tommy would have another career-defining moment later in his ECW career. Dreamer's erstwhile frenemy ShaneDouglas needled Dreamer about his valet (and future wife) Beulah cheating on him with Raven's valet, Kimona Wanalaya, Tommy's reply to the revelation helped to further cement his legacy:

* Wrestling/TommyDreamer, a fan-hated pretty boy, lost a match against [[Wrestling/JimFullington The Sandman]] in which the loser was to be beaten with a Singapore cane (playing on the news story where an American in Singapore was to be punished in a similar fashion). When Dreamer accepted his punishment, Sandman ''absolutely let him have it'' with the cane. After about the tenth shot, a beaten and bleeding Dreamer staggers to his feet, grabs the microphone, and ''fucking '''roars''''', [[Film/AnimalHouse "Thank you, sir,]] ''[[MadeOfIron may I have another?!"]]'' This is the moment where Tommy Dreamer [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap went from being a hated WCW-wannabe to "the heart and soul of ECW"]].

* The ECW fans (lovingly referred to as [[FanNickname "The Mutants"]]) have nearly, if not more, moments of awesomeness than the wrestlers themselves:

** [[https://gfycat.com/capitalimprobableeskimodog Randy Orton receives a warm welcome from his ECW fans.]]
*** To explain this one, Randy Orton is on his way to the ring when one fan, who looks to be a teenager, punches him hard in the arm. Orton stops and turns to him and the fan tells him, "Sup, pussy? Go to the ring." The whole time an older guy behind the fan looks at him laughing in disbelief. Randy turns to continue to the ring and mouths, "Punk motherfucker."

* The final match in the Wrestling/EddieGuerrero vs. Wrestling/DeanMalenko series in 1995. Just...[=WOW=]. Watching those two amazing wrestlers perform for an hour straight, each trying to one-up the other, with the crowd chanting "please don't go" and "one more match"? It didn't get any better.

He makes a better heel in ECW than most of the heels in WWE today.)
