The short-lived ECW revival put on by WWE was rife with many problems. Creative teams kept getting shuffled about, as well as the talent. Sometimes it seemed like WWE would move an established Raw or Smackdown superstar to the ECW brand simply because they didn't know what else to do with them.

That seemed to be the case when Big Show joined ECW. Determined to prove he was a 'hardcore giant,' Show would take on the legendary Nature Boy Ric Flair in a match so bloody and brutal we can only show you black and white photos of the affair.

The ageing Nature Boy and Big Show both bled profusely throughout the hard-hitting contest and made many long-time ECW fans happy with the amount of innovative violence.

One thing you never do is write Ric Flair off and the Nature Boy defied his age to put on the match of a lifetime.
