ECW As Good as It Gets
As Good as It Gets was a professional wrestling live event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) on September 20, 1997. The event was held in the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. Excerpts from As Good as It Gets aired on the syndicated television show ECW Hardcore TV in late September and early October 1997, while the event was released on VHS in 1997 and on DVD in 2003. The bout between Beulah McGillicutty and Bill Alfonso was included in the 2005 compilation DVD BloodSport - The Most Violent Matches of ECW.
As Good as It Gets is known for the confrontation between Alfonso and McGillicutty, described as "five of the most intense minutes in ECW"; the bout between Bam Bam Bigelow and Spike Dudley, which featured the "must-see moment" of Bigelow lifting Dudley overhead and hurtling him into the audience; and the bout between the recently debuted Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible, which was used to introduce and showcase the two future ECW mainstays.
The event was attended by approximately 1,600 people.
The opening bout was a tag team match pitting the Full Blooded Italians against the Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks. Balls Mahoney pinned Little Guido using the Nutcracker Suite, but Tommy Rich put Little Guido's foot on the ropes to break the pinfall, causing referee Jeff Jones to restart the match. Little Guido then pinned Balls Mahoney with a roll-up while he was still celebrating. Following the match, Jones bragged that with ECW commissioner Tod Gordon having left, he was now the highest authority in ECW, prompting senior referee Jim Molineaux to confront him before Mahoney gave Jones a chair shot.
The second bout was a singles match between Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible, both of whom had recently debuted in ECW. Credible won the match, pinning Lynn after performing That's Incredible! on him followed by a swinging DDT.
The third bout was a singles match between Chris Candido and Lance Storm. Candido defeated Storm by pinfall after performing the Blonde Bombshell on him.
The fourth match was a singles bout between Bam Bam Bigelow and Spike Dudley. During the match, the much larger Bigelow used his power to dominate Dudley, at one point lifting him overhead and throwing him into the audience. Bigelow won the match by pinning Dudley with a diving splash. Following the match, Bigelow threw Dudley into the audience once again.
The fifth bout saw ECW World Heavyweight Champion Shane Douglas defend his title against a mystery opponent, who was revealed as Phil Lafon. Douglas defeated Lafon by pinfall using a jackknife hold with assistance from Chris Candido.
