That ECW PPV was one of the best PPV's of the 90's IMO and 97 was one of my fav years for wrestling.

That TNA Title win was actually the start of the downfall for Joe. What a waste.

I thought it was interesting that Joe won the X-Division and World titles on the same day two years apart.

I would normally think that it was by design, but it's TNA.....happy accident.
