Scott,
What Mick Foley matches prior to his ECW run are worth checking out (from any federation)?
​Well, the most famous is the 2/3 falls match with Eddie Gilbert that basically defined the ECW/hardcore style and launched the careers of a million tape traders online. And of course he had a bunch of great ones with Sting and Vader in 92/93 in WCW. Before that he was basically a job guy who did occasional crazy indy matches. ​
