With the resurgence of ECW in the public eye on WWF television, more casual wrestling fans may find an interest in learning about the revolutionary promotion that changed the face of sports entertainment in the mid to late `90s. Touted by many (with GOOD reason) as ECW's best Pay-Per-View, Heatwave '98 featured 6 GREAT matches. This DVD recounts all 6 matches, plus all the promos and backstage antics from the Pay-Per-View (aired August 2, 1998 from the Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio). Included on the DVD are the match histories detailing the feuds and situations at the time written by Michael Johnson II of 1wrestling.com, the same guy who wrote the wrestler bios for the other ECW DVDs and the ECW website. Johnson's match history write-ups provide nice background and sets the tone nicely for the matches. I recommend reading his write-ups BEFORE watching the matches.

Here are the matches and line-up for the program:

Heatwave `98

Your commentators are Joey Styles and "The Franchise" Shane Douglas (w/ Francine)

1. Justin Credible (w/ Jason, Nicole Bass and Chastity) vs. Jerry Lynn: Summer Series Finale. This was the cap off match to the big feud these two had during the summer of '98. Solid wrestling match between these two with several high spots, great technical wrestling and all participants getting involved. The brutal finish to the match is one for the highlight reel. 4 ½ stars.

2. Lance Storm vs. Chris Candido (w/ Tammy Lynn Sytch): Grudge Match Between Former Partners. This match was also a cap off to a feud between both men. Again, this is another solid match between two great workers with great technical wrestling and solid aerial spots. Like the previous match, the ending is also one for the highlight reel. 4 ½ stars.

3. New Jack promo with the fans outside the arena, featuring appearances by the Dudleys, Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten.

4. Rob Van Dam, Sabu and Fonzie Promo

5. Masato Tanaka vs. Mike Awesome: AWESOME match between these two as always. This is another GREAT match in the loooong history in the continent spanning war between these two gladiators. Lots of power moves, lots of aerial moves, tables and chairs mark this match. In another moment for the highlight reel, there is this one TOTALLY KILLER spot (emphasis on KILLER) that the crowd and even the announcers cringed at. 4 ¾ stars.

6. Taz promo

7. Dudleys promo

8. RVD and Sabu (w/ Fonzie) vs. Hayabusa and Jinsei Shinzaki: ECW Tag Title Match. Shinzaki may be better known to American fans as Hakushi from the mid-90s WWF. AWESOME match. It's aerial and martial arts warfare from 4 of the best workers in the world. Hands down, to me this was THE best match of the night and realistically, one of the best matches I've ever seen!!! Jaw dropping back and forth war with TONS of high spots, TON of martial arts, tables and chairs in this one. The match was a virtual highlight reel!!! 5 stars.

9. Highlights Package featuring Taz' war with the Triple Threat.

10. Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow: FTW Championship Match. Falls Count Anywhere Death Match. Hard-hitting, intense and BRUTAL brawl across the arena, notable for yet another jaw dropping, unbelievable moment. It was a battle so intense, not even the ground could hold it... 4 ¼ stars for the match, 5 stars for the finish!!!

11. The Dudleys (Buh Buh Ray, D'Von and Big Dick, w/ Jeff Jones, Joel Gertner and Sign Guy) vs. The Sandman, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and Spike Dudley: Dudleyville Street Fight. This is a big pay-off match to the intertwined feuds all three faces had with the Dudleys. Fun match complete with the classic Dudley and Sandman ring intros. Classical ECW arena-spanning brawl featuring tables, ladders, chairs, canes, etc... ECW at its best. 4 ½ stars for the match. 5 stars for the Intro

Overall, this Pay-Per-View has been noted as ECW's best for good reason. All 6 matches on this card were just top notch. The two opening matches were solid scientific classics, Tanaka and Awesome was a WAR (plus that INSANE bump), the Tag Match was just AWE INSPIRING and the two top matches featured the hard-hitting, hardcore style that made ECW famous.

Though the card may look small (with only six matches) and the run time on the DVD may be just a little over two hours (with NO special features other than the match histories), Heatwave '98 proves the old adage about "quality" vs. "quantity." ECW became famous for giving its fans their monies worth in action. Heatwave '98, with six of the best matches you'll see on a wrestling card, does just that.

Highly Recommended

Being a long time fan of Extreme Championship Wrestling, I have to say that this was HANDS DOWN the most exciting ECW Pay-Per-View I had the pleasure of watching. There wasn't one match that I thought was boring "filler," every match had its own history and importance -- and to be honest, either of them could have qualified as "main event" status in my opinion.

My absolute favorite matches were:

Mike Awesome VS. Masato Tanaka:
These two have history which dates back to Awesome's days in FMW, wrestling under "The Gladiator" name (Better gimmick since Awesome epitomizes the name.) This was the start of many matches between the two afterwards, and the "awesome" bump which sees Masato Tanaka powerbomb him OVER the top-rope and out of the ring through a table, demolishing it in the process!

Rob Van Dam & Sabu VS. Hayabusa & Jinsei Shinzaki
This is DEFINITELY my favorite tag-team match of all time. Both teams were constantly trying to show the other up with spectacular double-team maneuvers. Even Van Dam and Sabu constantly out-do eachother and hog for the spotlight! The ending involves Hayabusa and Shinzaki both laying on two tables side by side in the center of the ring and Sabu/Van Dam on opposite ends of the top turnbuckles dropping double leg-drop's in unison to flatten their opponents (and the tables!)

Dudley Boyz VS. Sandman, Dreamer, & Little Spike Dudley
There was an emotional build up leading to this match. The Dudley Boyz had previously delivered Beulah, Dreamer's vallet, "3D: The Dudley Death Drop" at a prior event, thus breaking her neck which sent Tommy Dreamer into a tantrum wanting revenge on his crude, foul mouthed aggressors. Boy, is revenge sweet! This was a riot! Near the end when all four members of Dudleyville are hanging upside down on the turnbuckles (Tree-of-Woe position) Sandman, Dreamer, and Little Spike Dudley place chairs next to their faces and of all people the REFEREE decides to lend a hand as everyone baseball slides into the chairs! This was halarious and pretty F'N cool. To top it off, New Jack comes out and adds the icing to the cake with his small arsenal of weapons.

Some people try to pass off ECW as a "mindless violence" organization, but I guarantee that it wouldn't have had the following it does without some GREAT wrestling. What many fail to see is that ECW had many of the best PURE wrestling matches you or I had ever seen this side of Japan, where they treat it moreso as a sport and not "sports entertainment." WWE's watered down, cliched wrestling matches are 90% not even worth keeping your eyes open for, whereas ECW would have you literally standing, eyes glued to the television in disbelief saying "I've never seen that in my life!" ECW was all about originality -- it started the "hardcore" trend over here, and despite many weak attempts by feds like XPW to mold themselves after ECW, they could never quite get the knock-off ingredients to work. Many of ECW's wrestlers were extremely innovative in the wrestling department, and we've seen moves and ideas both copied and stolen by the WWE and WCW in their respective time. Speaking of the WWE, it's rather saddening to see former ECW talent being held back, thrown away, or ruined. I wish Vince McMahon and the higher-ups would wake up and market these guys correctly.. Can't you still hear those "ECW" chants for guys like Tommy Dreamer on Monday Night Raw?

ECW performed one of there most hot wired performances of there short history.All matches were done with 100% effort, if you are a WWE fan you would find this hard to believe considering the WWE PPV's, but welcome to ECW where all wrestlers poor there guts out for there fans no matter how bad they are injured these guys will give top performances.

THE SUMMER SERIES FINALS!
JUSTIN CREDIBLE vs JERRY LYNN
Unbelievable opener, if you know these guys from the WWE, you dont really know them.This is a back and forth scientific wrestling war with a nice table spot and a great ending.I really enjoyed this match.

FORMER PARTNERS COLLIDE!
CHRIS CANDIDO vs LANCE STORM
Very nice match up between these two.Fans of Lance Storm will enjoy this, although he has had better matches, these two worked very well with each other which ends with a powerbomb from the top rope to the other side of the ring.

INTERNATIONAL WARFARE!
MIKE AWESOME vs MASATO TANAKA
Extremely hard hitting matches you would expect from these two.Alot of chairs, high flying moves and a table makes this a very in your face confrontation.No rest periods taking in this match just back and forth fast paced power move after power move battle which ends with a very extreme table break which Awesome landed to the concrete on the back of his neck and somehow finsihed the match.Most defanatly one of the nights HOTTEST.

ECW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP!
SABU & ROB VAN DAM vs HAYABUSA & JINSEI SHINZAKI

WOW what a match, alot of effort poured into this hard fought match.A slow start but do give it time as it will turn into a classic back and forth, martial arts war.The japanese guys are very good in this match and really shine more than RVD and Sabu.The match also features another AWE inspiring finisher.This would have to be one ECW's finest tag matches and if there is another one like it i do really want to see it.Some say this is the best match on the card and i cant really argue with that.MUST SEE MATCH

FTW DEATH MATCH!
TAZ vs BAM BAM BIGALOW
If you are a fan of out of control brawls you will love this.Im not a fan of brawls so to me this wasnt the best match but the scorching hot ending is worth the wait.

DUDLEYVILLE STREET FIGHT!
TOMMY DREAMER, THE SANDMAN & SPIKE DUDLY vs THE DUDLY BOYZ
The name of the match says it all.They start off with some wrestling but doesnt take long till all participants spread out to ring side and ladders and chairs come in to use.Some say this was very dissapointing, i can see why as when the brawling started to get really interesting and fast it all of a sudden just ends.But for some reason i put this dvd on just to watch this match, probably because it is a fun bumb fest match.If there are more matches like this i want to know what they are.

New Jack also makes an appearance and makes work of the Dudlyz and jack victory with all sorts of weapons with a great picture of the champs.

OVERALL
Im going to say it straight out, this is a must have dvd whether you are a fan of hardcore, high flying, techniqle or scientific wrestling it is all here on one HOT disc.

WOW...I recently bought Barely Legal 97 and I thought that was great...but Heatwave tops that off...Here are my ratings for the matches...

1. Jerry Lynn vs Justin Credible- This was a good choice for an opener to a great PPV. Both men were great in the ring..had a couple of highspots and was fast paced. I think like one chair was used once and it still turned out to be a great match. RATING- 8/10

2. Chris Candido vs Lance Storm- This second match of the match was very awesome as well. Both used great technical, highflying, and quick paced wrestling into a nice match. RATING- 8.5/10

3. Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka- This match was just AWESOME. With Mike's great size and him flying through the air with ease was just amazing by itself. These two men had been feuding for a while and this match was great. The table spot at the end was breath taking. RATING 9/10

4. RVD/Sabu vs Hayabusa/Shinaki- This match was the best match in the PPV. The moves and the highspots were tremendous and the ending truly put this match over the top. The match was a little slow in the beginning, but once you give this match some time...it's truly worth it. RATING- 10/10

5. Bam Bam vs Taz- This was a cool grudge match. A little boring but they went all around the arena and the spot with the entrance aisle was very cool. RATING- 9/10

6. Buh Buh/Dvon/Big Dick vs Spike/Dreamer/Sandman- This was a great main event. All the men impressed me in this match and all of them took great bumps that made my jaw drop. Great post match ending with appearances by New Jack and Jack Victory. RATING- 10/10

With out a doubt...Heatwave 98 was the greatest PPV that I ever layed on eyes upon. All the men put their hearts and souls into making this ppv great. No half-(...) jobs here...it was more than Justin Credible...it was Overly Amazing!

I gog this DVD a couple of months ago...and have now decided to write a review for one of ECW's BEST PPV's in history!!! Let's get a rundown of some of the fine matches:

Match 1: Justin Credible vs. Jerry Lynn-What an awesome match! These two waged war to end their feud in the Summer Series Finale. Great table work by Jerry Lynn (hurricanranna off the top rope outside through a table!) Also, a great and brutal ending! ****1/2 (out of 5)

Match 2: Chris Candido vs. Lance Storm-Also a great matc with good technical contest at some points-but at some points an all-out brawl. Good entertainment. ****

Match 3: Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka-Oh My God. What a match. Tanaka with his chairs, and Awesome with the tables (even though that backfired on him bad!) makes this a must-see match. Great action...not a boring moment!! ****1/2

Match 4: Sabu and RVD vs. Hayabusa and Shinzaki-Another classic. I couldn't believe what these guys did to each other. This match is so hot you're gonna want to hose yourself down afterwards. *****

Match 5: Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow-A huge brawl that spanned the arena until it ended up right back in the ring where they use a table and some chairs...and then...then ending! Taz putting BBB through the ring was nothing compared to what he puts him through this time! A good quote just after the "ending" happened: "They are dead...oh my God!"-Shane Douglas. *****

Match 6: Dudley Boyz vs. Dreamer, Sandman, and Spike Dudley-Well...this sums it up...the last match on the dvd. Not even the best...but the most HARDCORE. Spike flies off about 20 feet in the air...4-way- sliding-kick-chair-in-the-face. Dudleys pissing the crowd off, chairs, tables, and canes. What a match!

X-Tra Stuff:
1. Footage of New Jack being attacked by Dudleys and Jack Victory in the parking lot. REALLY cool.

2. RVD/Sabu/Bill Alfonso Promo-Hilarious

3. Taz Promo

4. Dudley Boyz promo

And...an appearence of New Jack at the end of the last match...really cool!

Overall...a great PPV. One of the best ever. Go ahead and buy it! *****

Justin Credible w/ Jason,Chastity and Nicole Bass vs. Jerry Lynn
Nice match with a lot of counter moves near falls. Justin wins after a Top-Rope That's Incredible. 8/10

Chris Candido w/Tammy(Sunny)vs. Lance Storm
Another good matchup between the former ECW World Tag Team Champions. Candido wins after the Blonde Bombshell. 8/10

Masato Tanaka vs. Mike Awesome
A back and forth match with lots of near falls. Tanaka wins after a Tornado DDT on two chairs. 9/10

ECW Tag Titles
Rob Van Dam and Sabu w/Bill Alfonso (C) vs. Hayabusa and Jinsei "HAKUSHI" Shinzaki.
One Word, WOW! Without a doubt my absolute favorite tag team match(that does not involve ladders). They throw some chairs and tables into the mix just for fun. RVD said that this was his favorite ECW Tag Title Defense because it made him and Sabu better champions.

FTW Death match
Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
An ok match. FTW Death Match is ECW's way of saying "falss-count-Anywhere. Taz wins after the Tazmission. 7/10

Dudlyeville Sreet Fight.
The Dudleyz vs. Tommy Dreamer,The Sandman and Spike Dudley
An all-out war between these two teams. Dreamer pins Buh-buh after the Dreamer DDT on the ladder. 7.5/10

Footage was shown of Jack Victory and the Dudley Boyz assaulting New Jack in the parking lot.

Promo of Rob Van Dam with Sabu and Bill Alfonzo
RVD told Sabu that "it doesn't make you bad losing to Rob Van Dam. It just makes you like everybody else."

Dudleyz znd Joel Gertner saying that they will destroy Tommy Dreamer,The Sandman and Little Spike Dudley. Worst moment of the PPV.

And Taz claimed he was going to take back the victory that Bigelow took from him at Living Dangerously '98.
All-in-all a good,solid PPV filled with plenty of grudge matches and hardcore action. This is one of the few PPVs I have seen that does not contain any "filler" matches.

This dvd is one of the greatest wrestlin' dvds out there period. Every match on here is awesome. Justin Credible vs. Jerry Lynn is great, starts kinda slow but picks up fast. Lance Storm vs. Chris Candido is pretty much the same as the last match except that there is a devastating powerbomb from the top rope. Mike Awesome vs. Masoto Tanaka is one of the best matches on the dvd. Mike is 295 pounds but he always jumps from the top turnbuckle like a cruiserweight. Hayabusa and Jinsei Shinzaki vs. Sabu and Rob Van Dam is unbelievable. It has about 15 top rope moves including a knee drop, 450 splash, swanton bomb, leg drop, 3 moonsaults, and a vandaminator. Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow is a falls count anywhere death match. At one point, Bigelow gets DDTed through the entrance ramp but crushes Taz in the process. The main event is the Dudleyville Streetfight with Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, and Little Spike Dudley vs. Buh Buh Ray, D-von. Tables, ladders, and chairs are all used in this final match and run-ins from Jack Victory and New Jack. Even if you've never heard of ECW or you just want to get introduced, buy this dvd now.

That's right, my title says it all. "The best ECW show" was Heatwave 1998 that also won the award as best PPV of the year. This was one of those events where there was not a bad match on here & nothing was fillers. Shane Douglas & Francine join Joey Styles for commentary.

Justin Credible vs Jerry Lynn. These two had series of matches throughout the summer & each time delivered with great action. Another great match between these two as I felt these two were heavily underrated in the ring. Nice way to start the show.

Chris Candido vs Lance Storm. The old former partners turned enemies highlight this grudge match as both men meshed well to put on a great wrestling match with the highlight being Tammy Lynn Sytch(WWF's Sunny) having a wardrobe malfunction in the end.

Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka. What else more can be said from an Awesome/Tanaka encounter that has not been said already. Hardcore warfare with high-flying, power moves, sick chair shots & table spots that result in another match that does not disappoint.

ECW Tag Team Champions Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs Hayabusa & Jinsei Shinzaki. For those that don't know, Shinzaki is actually WWF's Hakushi. This was my favorite match of the night as this redefined tag team action. Words don't do it justice as this match has it all including, mat-wrestling, high-flying, fast-paced tag team action, tables & chairs along with the usual cameos from Bill Alfonso. The real highlight is RVD/Sabu's finishing maneuver with stereo leg drops through a table on both men. Awesome match & one of the best tag team matches in ECW history.

FTW Death Match: FTW Champion Taz vs Bam Bam Bigelow. Again for those fans that may not know, TW means "The World" while I think everyone knows what the F means. This is the rematch from Living Dangerously where both men went through the ring & these two picked up right where they left off. Taz held his own here & we all know what Bigelow is capable of but the highlight would be the infamous "ramp" sequence with Shane Douglas providing hilarious commentary after seeing it.

Dudleyville Street Fight: Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman & Spike Dudley vs Bubba Ray, D-Von & Big Dick Dudley. The rules are..there are no rules. Hardcore brawl with all men going at it around the arena, through the crowd, using various weapons like ladders, chairs, stop signs, tables (you know that was coming) & etc. Bloodbath with cameo appearances from Sign Guy Dudley, Jeff Jones, Joel Gertner, Jack Victory & New Jack.

In the end, even though Barely Legal '97 was the most emotional event in ECW history, this was the best event in ECW history & worth of being it's "WrestleMania". There are only six matches but each match is worth the price so I highly recommend.

Before I get started, it should be noted that ECW Champion Shane Dougas & Francine did guest commentary along with Joey Styles for this PPV but the DVD did edit out Douglas' opening promo including Francine giving Joey a closeup look at her "double breasted" outfit. Also keep in mind that this DVD came out months after ECW went out of business so a bunch of the copywrites for the music expired so you don't hear most of the music or see most of the entrances here.
Jerry Lynn vs. Justin Credible - This was the finals of their "Best Of Seven" summer series. This was a very athletic fast paced contest between both men as you saw them pullout all the stops here from high flyin' & mat wrestling along with each man knowing each other so much from these series that they had counters for moves you expect from the other wrestlers. There wasn't much involvement from Justin's stable or weapons until the end which still made this a great "wrestling" bout & one of the best opening matches I remember seeing but really pay close attention to the end as both Justin & Lynn did some top rope moves that made you go "Oh My God!"
Lance Storm vs. Chris Candido - This was a grudge match after the long relationship between these two that dated all the way back to ECW's first PPV when Storm was Candido's replacement to being a prospect for the Triple Threat to becoming tag team champions to their breakup over jealous over Candido's fiance Tammy to finally having their one on one showdown on PPV. It should be noted that Tammy Lynn Sytch, better known as Sunny, left WWF at this time & was a full member of the ECW roster in the corner of Candido while Candido himself was wearing an amature wrestling headgear due to him having plastic surgery to reattach his ear. This was similar to the first match in how it was a good athletic contest but these two were more aggressive & had more high impact moves such as Candido's powerslam, Storm's suplex on Candido over the top rope onto the unpadded floor & a spinning heel kick off the top rope, and Candido hitting his "Blonde Bombshell" that was one of the most devistating powerbombs I've ever seen in my life. Tammy got involved involved both vocally at ringside (leading to a moment that even had Douglas cracking up) & in the ring with a moment that had everyone stand at attention...in more ways than one.
Masato Tanaka vs. Mike Awesome - This was the first PPV match of many in the memorable (and some say even classic) fued between Awesome & Tanaka that spanned between not just two promotions (ECW & FMW) but also two countries (U.S. & Japan). Awesome was a giant with power but can also has crusierweight like abilities when it comes to speed & being able to fly while Tanaka was the defination of the japanese word written on this shorts, "BULLET" for the punishment he takes but yet keep going. The only way I can describe this match is that this is the defination of high impact as these two took some punishment like Tanaka taking some of the most brutal chairshots you'll ever see in your life while Awesome got a taste of his own medicine by taking a powerbomb over the top rope through a table & a tornado DDT onto two steel chairs. Again...two words summerize this match, "HIGH IMPACT!"
ECW Tag Team Champions Sabu & Rob Van Dam vs. Hayabusa & Jinsei Shinzaki - Two of ECW's best against two of the best from the FMW promotion in Japan...and for those who don't know, Shinzaki is better known in the United States as Hakushi from WWF back in '95. This is one of those matches that I would concider a "lost classic" as it had everything you would look for in a match from ground wrestling to high flyin' to even what is defined today as mixed martial arts. This started off slow but built over time with various storytelling between each individual as both teams where trying to "one-up" the other while targeting important parts of the other team like RVD's quads & Hayabusa's ankle. We also saw some moves that we aren't used to seeing such as Shinzaki's ropewalk that puts Undertaker's "Old School" to shame, a backflip dropkick from Shinzaki, and a combinations such as Sabu doing a frankensteiner off one side of the ring with RVD hitting a top rope splash from the other side of the ring right afterwards along with a powerbomb/450 splash combination from Shinzaki. The hardcore element of tables & chairs didn't come into play until the final moments but again, "this is a lost classic" that over delievered all expectations going in.
Death Match: FTW Champion Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow - Before I get started, for those who don't know the story behind the "FTW Title", it's Taz's own personal belt (similar to how Ted Dibiase had the "Million $ Championship") that he created after feeling like the company was trying to protect the ECW Champion Shane Douglas due to his injury at the time. Now, this is the rematch from Living Dangerously that tops that one as it's Tazz & Bigelow just beat each other down even more than they did the last time by going through the crowd and using anything they can get their hands on. The spot though the ramp at the end was really something & Shane Douglas' commentary is really amusing as well (since he was fueding with Taz at the time & Bigelow was a member of the Triple Threat.)
("Bloodsport: ECW's Most Violence Matches")
Dudleyville Street Fight Match: Street Fight Match: Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Spike Dudley vs. Dudley Boyz (Bubba, D-Von, Big Dick) - This was all about revenge for each man as Tommy wanted it for the 3D that drove Beulah out of ECW, Sandman wanted it for the 3D that injured his neck & put him in the hospitial, and Spike wanted it for all the abuse they gave him over the years. This had the typical Dudley formula of having another brawl all over the building with a couple of comedic spots involing Joel Gertner & Sign Guy Dudley & Jeff Jones along various weapons such as tables, ladders, chairs, canes...great ECW hardcore violence.
("ECW: Extreme Rules")
This had been recieved as the greatest PPV in ECW history as each match itself was high quality in itself...and I agree with that statement so this is one event I highly recommend.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who watched this tape as the first exposure to ECW. Before I watched this show I was convinced ECW was pointless, unecessary violent garbage wrestling. This tape was an absolute eye-opener back in the day when ECW was the most influential and innovative wrestling promotion anywhere. And although the production quality may not be first rate it still rates highly today because of the great in ring action.

There are plenty of other reviews on this page giving a run down of the great matches on this show so I wont got through them all. I guess now watching this tape five years after the event it just goes to show how badly talented guys like Mike Awesome and Jerry Lynn where mistreated during there time in the big two. This show has everything, if you haven't checked out you owe it to yourself to watch this tape.
