I swear 96 was the peaked of ECW. shyt was raw AF and felt like you HAD to grab a cup of coffee to watch the show at 3am in the morning. Then came Vince low key turning it into NXT and gullable wrestling fans like this koala gobbling the shyt up. Like "fukk you Vince, EcW Iz HaRDcOArE". When in reality, Paul was on the payroll and checks were bouncing like a Juvenile song as the quality slowly downgraded. 

Its not talked about because it was very short and also while the Gangstas were feuding with two other teams. But i thoroughly enjoyed it. I remember their blowoff match though. The Gangatas beat them Samoans half to death to the point the ref had to stop the match. In ECW. In 1996.The Gangstas vs The Samoan Gangster Party was one of the best feuds ECW had that no one ever talks about. Then having the Eliminators thrown in the mix made it glorious.
I remember there was a outside vignettes of TSGO catching The Gangstas out on the street at night and beat the shyt out of them..... then put NJ head under the front tire of a car.... reving up the engine threatening to run over his head while dropping a promo on him.
Leading to the match (some snippets found in that video) where TG came to a show and beat the ever living shyt out of TSGP to that theme on repeat
shyt was insane

Total Elimination was such a dope ass double team move
