For the most part when you think of ECW for a great feud, names like Dreamer vs. Raven, or Sabu vs. Taz will automatically come to mind. And those are two great feuds, no doubt about that. But what are some other feuds that you enjoyed in ECW that maybe don't get talked about enough, or that were just a personal favourite of yours for no other reason than you just enjoyed watching them wrestle??
Here's a small list in no particular order of feuds I enjoyed in ECW.
Dreamer vs. Raven and Taz vs. Sabu get two automatic mentions because they were great.
Super Crazy vs. Tajiri - I remember really enjoying these two go at it in 1999 - 2001 and each time they had a match with each other it was always somehow more special and entertaining than the last.
Jerry Lynn vs. Lance Storm - The feud happened in the fall of 1998 and involved Mikey Whipwreck, Dawn Marie, Sunny and at times Chris Candido. Such a fun angle and matches that all these individuals had with each other.
RVD/Sabu vs. Storm/Candido for the Tag Titles - In the era of the Dudley's, Balls & Axl, F.B.I., Meanie & Nova, & New Jack & Spike we get two sets of singles stars in a feud for the Tag Titles. The matches that RVD & Sabu had against Candido & Storm in the spring/summer of 1998 were amazing to see!
Shane Douglas, Chris Candido & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Taz - Right from January 1998 - January 1999 this feud was amazing. So many other wrestlers involved in it like Lance Storm, RVD and Sabu too.
Jerry Lynn vs. Justin Credible - The summer of 1998 these two had a series of matches that were fun to watch.
RVD vs. Jerry Lynn - This was always a fun feud, and it all started in the summer of 1998 when Jerry Lynn vs. RVD took place on Hardcore TV. That got the ball rolling!
Sabu/Taz vs. Benoit/Malenko - These two teams had some intense brutal matches from late 1994 to early 1995 in either singles matches or tag matches.
Shane Douglas vs. The Pitbulls - This feud started in summer of 1996 and went to spring of 1997. It involved Francine, Terry Funk, Raven, Brian Lee, Chris Candido, Tommy Dreamer, Beulah, Bam Bam Bigelow and Balls Mahoney from time to time depending the style of match. It also brought in the debut of "Ravishing" Rick Rude into the ECW Arena!
Masato Tanaka vs. Mike Awesome - Chair shots, table power bombs, nuff said.
Eddie Guerrero vs. Dean Malenko vs. 2 Cold Scorpio - From January 1995 until August 1995 these three would mix it up in matches for the ECW TV Title entertaining the fans constantly.
Public Enemy vs. The Gangstas - By the summer of 1995 the Public Enemy had feuded with Badd Company, The Bruise Brothers, Mikey & Cactus, Sabu & Taz, Benoit & Malenko and the Pitbulls. They needed someone new to mix it up with and New Jack and Mustafa gave them just that! That feud helped start the Sandman vs. Mikey feud too, which brings me too.....
Mikey Whipwreck vs. The Sandman - Mikey winning the ECW Title off the Sandman was such a special moment at that time. The ECW Arena erupted and the boys came out from the back to celebrate Mikey's win.
So those are my personal favourites over the ECW years.
What does everyone else have for their favourites??

You pretty much names most of my favorites. To add to these I liked Douglas vs Funk, Cairo vs Sandman, and 911 vs Fonzie

Tommy Dreamer vs. the Dudleyz when they 'broke' Beulah's neck. I loved the match at Heatwave where Dreamer teamed with Sandman and Spike to take on Bubba, Devon and Big Dick. Tommy Dreamer vs. Justin Credible - Credible being the thorn in Dreamer's side was so good, and having him steal Dreamer's big moment, winning the ECW title from him right after he won it from Taz was great. Spike Dudley vs. The Dudlyz - Always loved the tale of Spike being the only Dudley to not turn to the dark side, and was constantly trying to thwart his brother's evil plans. New Jack vs. Da Baldies - I thought it was great how they built up Angel as the guy that was always getting the one up on New Jack, 'winning,' the King of the Streets moniker from him during the feud. The Sandman vs. Tommy Dreamer - The feud that made Tommy Dreamer in ECW, earning him the love and respect of the ECW fans.
and one to add, that could have been an interesting one if they managed to have a match was Terry Funk vs. Tommy Dreamer in 98-99. I liked the idea of Funk going after Dreamer because he felt betrayed that Tommy chose Jake Roberts as his partner for the match against Justin Credible and Jack Victory at November 2 Remember 98.

None. Because I never seen a full match. All I ever seen of ECW back in the days was their weekly show that aired at 2 or 3 in the morning. And seeing I usually needed to be up at 4:30 - 5 am for work I rarely watched it and when I did I didn’t care for their informercial format.

Shane Douglas vs. The Pitbulls - This feud started in summer of 1996 and went to spring of 1997. It involved Francine, Terry Funk, Raven, Brian Lee, Chris Candido, Tommy Dreamer, Beulah, Bam Bam Bigelow and Balls Mahoney from time to time depending the style of match. It also brought in the debut of "Ravishing" Rick Rude into the ECW Arena! this brought about one of the absolute best moments in ECW history when Douglas pulled the halo on Gary 'Pitbull 1' Wolfe, the response from the crowd and the feel of the lockeroom emptying feels as legit as when cornette lit the fireball on garvin and the chaos that ensued I felt bad for the pit bulls that they weren't used more prominently in 98 and forward.

I agree. They turned them heel for no reason whatsoever and then jobbed out Anthony to Taz at November To Remember 97 and that was the end of the Pitbulls in ECW!
The Pitbulls vs. Dudleys in 1998 would have been a great feud and a sweet match for a PPV at least one time.
