47. The Sandman (c) vs Cactus Jack (Barbed Wire match for the ECW Championship, ECW Barbed Wire, Hoodies and Chokeslams 1995)

I happened to come across another barbed wire match whilst perusing ECW matches on the WWE Network. Rather than Sabu or Terry Funk, this was pits ECW World Champion The Sandman against none other than Cactus Jack! This was two years before that bloody, ultraviolent match. Sabu tore his bicep open, and in the end both ended up so entangled in barbed wire that they could barely finish the match. How does this barbed wire match compare to that one?

Sometimes, you’ve just got to wonder…why? Why do these wrestlers subject themselves to such pain? Mankind being thrown 15 feet off the top of a cell…Mankind being slammed on thumbtacks….Mankind being thrown on barbed wire…Pretty much anytime Mankind was involved in a match, actually! But, of course, there are other wrestlers willing to endure inhuman amounts of pain. And in ECW, two of the most insane wrestlers of all time competed in a Barbed Wire Rope match. The results…hard to watch!
