10 Best Rivalries In ECW History
Best rivalries in ECW history
1. Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven
Proud son of New York Tommy Dreamer has often been described as the “protagonist” of ECW. If that’s the case, then that would make Raven, the grumpiest wrestler of all time, the promotion’s primary antagonist. Presented as former childhood friends, Dreamer and Raven were the polar opposites of one another; Raven the dark, brooding outcast and Dreamer the symbol of the everyman.
Whether they were fighting over Beulah McGillicutty, breaking each other’s fingers, or kicking the hell out of each other in the ring, these two just never let up. Dreamer would always come up short against his grungy adversary until Wrestlepalooza 1997, where he pinned Raven for the first time in a Loser Leaves ECW match.
Even this couldn’t keep them apart though, as Raven would rejoin ECW in 1999 to team with Dreamer (with the odd couple winning the tag belts).
