ECW Hardcore TV 1/30/99
ECW World Tag Team Title Match
Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney vs. Rob Van Dam and Sabu w/Bill Alfonso (c)
This match actually took place at House Party ‘99. Sabu and RVD come out dripping gold. They got the tag belts, TV title, FTW Title, Undisputed who? There’s a great moment right off the bat as the ref checks Axl for things he can use to cheat...despite the fact that’s he holding a chair. Before the match begins Sabu is constantly swatting at the challengers, like a cat annoying other pets. In fact Sabu is so eager he gets annoyed with RVD soaking in the crowd and gets in the ring and goes straight after Balls. Fantastic.
From there this match is exactly what you expect from these four. Tag rules go out the window as all four brawl. It doesn’t take long for weapons to get involved (another great spot btw). RVD and Sabu fly around and break tables while going punch for punch with the challengers.
The crowd is super into this as well, which always helps. A classic, fun ECW tag team brawl that hits every expected note and does it well. Also check out Balls vs. RVD from Anarchy Rulez the same year, really good match.
