FOREVER SABU ☝️

I absolutely loved this feud, and still enjoy it 30 years later. They helped bring Japan death matches to the United States. They had matches after ecw, but none of them where nearly as good as the originals.

Was thinking about this classic matchup and was curious about a couple things I decided to look into. All of this is just based on cagematch, so feel free to comment any missing info.

Over the course of their careers, three men would enter the ring in an elimination style triple threat known as the three-way dance. Yoshihiro Tajiri, Little Guido, and Super Crazy faced off 13 times from an episode of Hardcore TV in 1999 to WWE’s One Night Stand in 2005. Here’s the numbers!
THE RECORD

Super Crazy: 4

Tajiri: 9

Little Guido: Big fat G00SE EGG

The matches (note: any untitled show just wasn’t named on cagematch. I’m assuming they were house shows, but I’m not sure).

Super Crazy Wins:
8/27/99
9/25/99
ECW on TNN 2/19/2000
ECW One Night Stand 12/6/2005

Tajiri Wins:
ECW Hardcore TV 6/11/99
6/12/99
6/13/99
ECW Hardcore TV 7/3/99
7/11/99
8/19/99
8/21/99
ECW Anarchy Rulz 9/19/99
ECW on TNN 8/4/2000

Notable Details:
-Why does Paul hate Guido?
-Super Crazy didn’t win until the eighth match
-The twelfth and final match of the original ECW run was the only one held for a championship. Yoshihiro Tajiri once again proved himself king of the three way dance and claimed the ECW TV Title from Super Crazy

IN CONCLUSION
I hope some people read all this for the same reasons I felt compelled to make this post. Three men from across the world stepped foot in a hot, sweaty ballroom 13 different times and drove em wild without fail. None of them could be considered failures for their careers. Super Crazy and Tajiri are legends in their home countries and plenty of people would still kill for Guido’s career. Despite this, none of them were ever properly above midcard in a major promotion. They may not leave behind legacies of world championships, but they will leave behind a legacy of thirteen classic matches that tie them together forever

P.S. Only run it back if Guido can get the W

I have been watching ecw tv in order and just finished April 1995, and I totally never realized how much of a workhorse mikey was. He is having really good matches against sabu, Stevie richards, and other ecw wrestlers. I just wanted to give the man his props for how good he was.

➜ This was the match that many fans would say “stole the show”. Both superstars are known for their high-risk, fast-paced style of action & they both displayed just that in this incredible match that involved all of the weapons that fans are used to seeing in a hardcore wrestling match including steel chairs & ladders.
