The Legacy of ECW Arena: 1995

O artigo seguinte possui dois objectivos claros: Primeiro dar a conhecer um legado de um dos edifícios de wrestling mais conhecidos no Mundo e segunda dar a conhecer a verdadeira ECW, não aquele garbage wrestling mas sim tudo o que de bom a ECW deu ao wrestling. No fim espera-se feedback para se tentar analisar os benefícios destes artigos que ocorrerão semanalmente.

Ano de 1995

O ano de 1995 começou forte, onde no mês de Fevereiro aconteceu o show “ Double Tables” cujo evento principal envolveu Sabu e Tazmaniac contra os The Public Enemy para além de um Chris Benoit vs. Al Snow, nesse mesmo mês aconteceu também o “Return of The Funker” onde se celebrava o regresso de Terry Funk após seis meses de fora.

Em Abril foi o inicio da rivalidade de dois anos e meio entre Raven e Tommy Dreamer, cujo primeiro combate aconteceu no show “Three Way Dance”, tendo ai acontecido também The Public Enemy vs. Chris Benoit/Dean Malenko vs. Tazmaniac e Rick Steiner. No show da semana seguinte o “Hostile City Showdown” foi o inicio dos clássicos entre Eddie Guerrero e Dean Malenko que duraram 5 meses.

O Verão trouxe os psicóticos e sangrentos combates entre Axl Rotten e Ian Rotten, combates que envolveram tacos de basebol com arame farpado que terminam num Tapei Death Match em Julho, onde cada lutador tinha vidro colado nas mãos.

Em 29 de Agosto, aconteceu o combate de despedida de Eddie e Dean em frente à audiência mais smart da América do Norte que no final brindou os dois com um cântico a pedir para não irem o que mostrou a paixão quer da assistência quer dos lutadores.

Em Setembro aconteceu um dos melhores combates de sempre da ECW e em minha opinião o melhor de 1995.

O November to Remember de 1995 foi um dos shows mais bem construídos de 1995, tendo combates como Rey Mysterio Jr. vs Psicosis e Terry Funk/Tommy Dreamer vs. Cactus Jack/Raven.

O fim do ano trouxe a lucha livre a Filadélfia havendo nomes como Rey Mysterio, Jr. Juventud Guerrera, Psicosis, Konnan e La Parka. Durante esse ano apareceram nomes como Hack Myers, Al Snow, Osamu Nishimura, Tully Blanchard, Paul Lauria, Mikey Whipwreck, Stevie Richards, Hector Guerrero, Marty Jannetty, DC Drake, Jason Knight, Ron Simmons, Vampire Warrior (aka Gangrel), Dudley Dudley e Dances With Dudley.
