Barely Legal 1997

The Dudleys vs The Eliminators-Tag Titles
  •Nice double team moves by both teams. The Eliminators have some truely awesome and amazing moves. Kronus shows that he can really go for a 260 pounder. The Dudleys take a major beating from beginning to end. The Eliminators win, they were the whole match. Rating:8/10

Rob Van Dam vs Lance Storm
  •Great flying moves by both men. Some EXTREME action on the outside of the ring. Storm kicks out of the RVD Frog Splash. Storm hits a reverse powerslam on a chair on RVD, something I've never seen before. Both men are extremely talented. RVD picks up the win. Rating: 9/10

Great Sasuke, Gran Hamada, and Gran Naniwa vs Taka Michinoku, Terry Boy, and Dick Togo
  •Gran Naniwa was replaced by someone by the name of Tsakashigee (sp?). Interesting triple team moves by Taka's team who were all wearing bWo uniforms. Okay match, not too great, but pretty exciting in parts. Couple of blown spots but not too many. These Japanese wrestlers definately fit in ECW. Very innovative moves! Match starts off slow, but the ending minutes salvage it. Great Sasuke's team wins. Rating: 8/10

Shane Douglas vs Pitbull #2-TV Title
  •Pitbull #2 starts the match out by trying to break the neck of the Franchise for what he did to the other Pitbull. Beginning of the match is all Pitbull #2. "Break his neck" chants are heard. Douglas comes back targeting Pitbull's neck. Douglas is very over as a heel. Pitbull #1 interferes. Match gets more extreme in the middle. Guardrails, tables, and chairs are used. Match gets pretty slow again nearing the end. Douglas gets the win with a belly to belly. Rating: 6/10

Taz vs Sabu
  •Taz busts Sabu's nose early on. They brawl in the crowd for a few minutes. This match defines the word extreme! Sabu takes one helluva beating. My second favorite match on the PPV! Taz chokes Sabu Out for the win. Rating: 9/10

Terry Funk vs The Sandman vs Stevie Richards
  •A three way dance like only ECW can do. Big Stevie cool is eliminated first after taking a beating and then being double teamed. Terry Funk wins with a moonsault onto the Sandman who was wrapped in barbed wire. This was my favorite match on the entire PPV, no doubt at all. Funk goes on to face Raven. Rating: 9.5/10

Terry Funk vs Raven-ECW Title
  •Pretty short match. Funk got busted WIDE open and was bleeding all over the place. Dreamer and Raven's Nest bought the Funker some time. Funk wins the match! Rating: 7.5/10

Overall Show Rating
  •This was a good first PPV for ECW. None of the matches were terrible. Taz vs Sabu and Funk/Sandman/Richards really helped the show a lot from where I sit. Rating: 8/10
