Sabu vs. The Sandman

[7.0] "Not nearly their best match together but I still thought it was good, it certainly had some cool moments. The RVD fakeout at the start was perfectly done and they had some nice spots with the raised ramp. When RVD ran back in his kick to Sandman was insane. Sabu was very cool as usual. Absolutely bizarre bit before the match where Styles screams at Heyman that they can't show this match or they'll be thrown off TV/PPV, when really it's not even that extreme compared to many other ECW matches."

[1.0] "Another garbage, who would have thought? Sandman desperately trying to move like a person with four functioning limbs, Sabu doing whatever came to his mind... It also shows how incompetent these guys were - Styles wanted to sell this as a bloody massacre, meanwhile we got another spotfest with furniture, that just made him and Paulie look like idiots."

[6.0] "The "censors" didn't want to air this on PPV but Paul E pushes on with it anyway and it's truly not any more extreme than most other ECW matches, New Jack and Spike dove off the damn balcony earlier on in the same show. For a Sabu/Sandman match though, you get what you come for and it's pretty fun but might be the least eventful of their singles matches. Cool double dive through the table on the ramp for the finish, RVD in the Sabu cosplay is an iconic image too."

[4.0] "Not worth the hype built up for it for the entire show, especially since there were arguably more violent, plug-pulling matches earlier on the show than this one. This stip doesn't even make much sense either, as there's just one more Singapore cane than usual, and the canes are hardly even used. Another example of ECW & Heyman getting the most out of something so little though I suppose?"

[2.0] "Another bait and switch, as there's no canes involved, they'd been hyping this up as some sort of ultraviolent match when it was just a generic spotfest, and it for whatever reason replaced Kronus vs Al Snow. Not that that would have been a great match either. THis match might have seemed better if it hadn't followed several similar brawls, if it hadn't been hyped so much, and if Joey Styles acting before and after the ring hadn't been so awful."
