Match of the Day - 9/21/2015: RVD vs. Sabu!

Okay, folks. Brace yourselves as we take it to the extreme! We’re going back to 90s, and to the hardcore haven of Extreme Championship Wrestling for our Match of the Day. Today’s Match of the Day goes to RVD vs Sabu in a Stretcher Match. These two are noted for their chronicle of matches they’ve had throughout the 90s and into the early 00s. They are also without a doubt two of the best high flyers to ever grace a professional wrestling ring. Just watching these two put their bodies through the inevitable is enough to appreciate their hard work and perseverance (these two things are what was also seen as “hardcore” to original ECW fans). So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, “The Whole F’n Show” and the "The Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal, Death–Defying Man"!

He then gets down on his knees and says "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!" and "The Beast" unleashes pain on Punk after Heyman blindsides him.
