If you watched the ECW commercials you knew that Terry Gordy was in ECW. They kept plugging the Extreme Warfare Vol. 2 videotape. It was the tape that had Kimona Wanalaya stripping on a stage at the ECW arena. "The Battle of the Bam Bams" match was one of the matches, it also had a match of Sabu vs. Chris Jericho.

Saying "no-one thinks of Colin Delaney" while having to have thought of Colin Delaney to include him in the video (even tongue-in-cheek) is certainly a paradox.
A better title would be " 10 wrestlers YOU didn't know were in ECW if you've never heard of ECW and literally just this second found that youtube channels such as cultaholic and whatculture existed"
Darren Drodzov, Brakus, Tom Prichard, Pierre Carl Ouellet, Duane Gill, Crash the Terminator (Hugh Morrus), Abdullah the Butcher, The Warlord, Greg Valentine, Bobby Duncum Jr., Kendall Windham, Prey of the Dead (Horace Hogan), Bruiser Mastino (Mantaur)
I met Scott Steiner at a convention a few months ago. There was a Q&A session which also featured Jimmy Hart. During the Q&A I asked Scott about his time in ECW. He insisted he only worked one match there. I knew better, but he's Scott Steiner and even at his current age and the fact that in the photo we took together I am clearly 3-4 inches taller than him, he's still intimidating as hell and I wasn't going to question him any further about it 😂 For the record he said that after his one match there the check didn't clear and that's why he never returned. 🤷♂️
You forgot Tully Blanchard "Fighting for the honor of Ric Flair" in a single ECW match. When Shane Douglas was "feuding" with Ric Flair (even though Flair never stepped foot in The Real ECW
I wonder if there would be enough for a Top 10 group of wrestlers leaving one promotion to another simultaneously. All I can think now is Hart/Dynamite/Davey Boy/Neidhart...The Radicalz.....the WCW/ECW talent exchange 94-95.....
they got the idea from the movie THE WANDERERS that had a gang called THE BALDIES their leader TERROR was played by the guy that was DYNAMO in the movie THE RUNNING MAN
I seem to remember Ricky Morton having a match in ECW where he got busted up big time. Like it was difficult to watch, I think it may have been New Jack or Sandman maybe?
@@deadeyedarwin the whole point of this video was about wrestlers who showed up in ECW, and Road Warrior Hawk was one of them who you’d never have thought to have made an appearance in ECW
5:50 "As for the other two [Neidhart] matches, they were against a certain Rockin' individual" Rockin Robin had two matches against Jim Neidhart in ECW?
@@austinbowman7930 true! But i actually meant a case where BOTH the parent and the child wrestled in ECW. Jim Neidhart wrestled in ECW back in the day and Natalya started wrestling on ECW in like 2010. (it was technically WWECW tho so maybe that doesnt count lol)
I know you're British, Adam, so you may only know the Flintstones in passing ( Still a nice reference), but, Bam Bam was Barney’s son, so, technically he would be Bam Bam Rubble.
Even if you didn't know it shouldn't be surprising. ECW was the (distant) #3 biggest wrestling promotion in the US, chances are if a big name wasn't signed to WWF or WCW at a given time they'd show up in ECW for the paycheck.
I think OL' KLANVIL was in every company that would help support his coke habit and there wasn't a better place to support a budding coke habit than ECW.
Without memphis there would be no onita or ecw and you forgot the british bulldog and kerry von erich and kevin sullivan appearance in ecw he wasn't with wcw at the time why he also worked for smokey mountain and toured japan
My nephew: uncle Andy, what's the brawl for all Me: well, nephew... Jim cornette: fucking Vince Russo. Me: he's 8, dude. Let's let him be a kid a few more years. It was a bad idea, bud. Let's just leave it at that.
Heyman was ready to bring in guys like Samoa Joe, Low Ki, maybe Punk, and more if ECW would have stayed open. Abyss for sure would have made his way there.
It's bam bam rubble not Flintstone he was Barney's kid 😂😂
I was here for the same thing!
That what I was thinkin

Sid was awesome in ECW
Beautiful Bobby Eaton had a brief run as well as Christopher Daniels, who almost scored a major upset win over Rhino.
Marty Jannetty was damn underrated
Is there any footage of that Marty Jannety/Eddie Guerrero match? That sounds amazing!
Not sure if it's the same match, but there is a Jannetty/Guerrero match on the WWE Network - under ECW supershows, Enter The Sandman 1995.
WTF everybody knew Gordy appeared with Doc in ECW. They had a scaffold match vs the eliminators.
Colin delaney was my brooklyn brawler when I was a kid😂 so at least one person thinks of him

Rodney Mack was also in ECW. If you remember him. He was in Da Baldies. A faction of bald guys.
they got the idea from
the movie
THE WANDERERS
that had a gang called
THE BALDIES
their leader TERROR
was played by the guy that
was DYNAMO in the movie
THE RUNNING MAN
Wait was that Tazz with the stiners? Suplexes for everyone!
Can we all agree that Miracle Violent Connection is one of the coolest tag team names in wrestling.
Disagree
I seem to remember Ricky Morton having a match in ECW where he got busted up big time. Like it was difficult to watch, I think it may have been New Jack or Sandman maybe?
New Jack indeed. The Gangstas vs Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich (I believe)
@@TheShockninja They were called "Hell Bent and Whiskey Bound"
Ricky Morton also faced Stevie Richards when he was "Big Stevie Cool" at the peak of the BWO.
@@TheShockninja THAT was it. Thank you, it's been driving me crazy all day trying to remember that.
Ricky is still wrestling now in nwa
Colin Delaney still wrestles & is the manager of a Heroes Hideout location in the mall down the street from where I work.
Everyone scared by Heyman 's EXTREME booking...🤣🙈
This guy literally shouts the first word of every sentence. You won't be able to unhear it now. Goes right through me
🤣
Because he records them one at a time
After reading the comments, feels like there has to be a Part 2 video🤔😏😏😏. This was great didn't know majority of them did 🤔🤷🏽♂️😮👍🏽

Adam, you pleb.. Bam Bam is a Rubble.
I cringed lol
You forgot the One Man Gang (as an official entry rather than an offhand comment) and Tommy Rogers of the Fantastics as well.
It kinda makes since with Kevin Thorne being in wwECW,I had no idea Gangrel was in ECW.
That thumbnail makes it look like one of them is the illegitimate love child of Mr. Perfect and Nicole Bass.
That’s gangrel buddy lol did you not watch raw is war around like 99ish?
I have to admit, I'm surprised that I only knew about one of these, that being Gangrel.
Hold up. If Jim Neidhart was in ECW, doesn’t that mean that Natalya is the first and only second-generation ECW Wrestler?

I had no idea there was ever a wrestler called "Amish Roadkill" wtf!!!😅

Yeah. He was mainly a tag partner to Danny Doring.... CHICKENS!!!!!!!

Marty did what I wish Shawn would have been in WWF,WCW,and ECW

RIP Gordy and Dr Death
Def knew all these dudes were in ecw
Brief run in 90s lol. It ran 92/93 to 2001 so almost a decade
Brief
Hold on, there’s no such thing as a “terrible” Vincent Price movie...
I love these lists
david gangrel health in ecw was quick
Like just for the way Jake Roberts showed up at the event's description lol
Jake Probably was looking through sandman's street clothes before he showed up
Taking a swing at Colin Delaney….shame on you Cultaholic😂
Shocked with the fact that Double A was in ECW at one point of time (even if it was to copromote a WCW show)
Its not really fair to say he ever was
Ok this is gonna be a fun watch during lunch time!
Bam Bam was a Rubble.
Too bad Paul didn't wanna pay them
Bret Hart wrestled terry funk in ecw. Arn Anderson was in ecw and so was Bobby eaton. So was Jimmy snuka.
Bam bam was a rubble not a Flintstone bro. Tht was Barneys kid not freds
If Justin Credible is the Cliq’s 5th Beatle what does that make X-Pac?
