Last few minutes. Sabu takes a big beating and Sandman doesn't look horrible. Sabu finally throws a fireball at Sandman. It's funny how all the weapons shots are standard fare, but THAT'S enough to stop the match. I guess it's consistent mythology, which I've talked about before, but it still stands out. Good angle though. I always love a good fireball.

You have to give Paul E. this: he knew how to avoid burning through too many matches, too quickly. This is hyped as the first meeting between Sabu and Sandman, and I can believe it. We never even got matches that seem like they'd sell to an ECW crowd like Raven vs. Sabu or Raven vs. Taz. Sabu doesn't quite connect on the fireball but there have been worse efforts this year and worse efforts to come in '98. Good enough angle because they sold it so well and because of the Sheik-Sabu connection.
