Hardcore Heaven (1994) was the first Hardcore Heaven event. It was promoted by Eastern Championship Wrestling on August 13, 1994 in the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States.

Nine professional wrestling matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Terry Funk fought Cactus Jack to a no contest after The Public Enemy interfered and attacked both men. The show had a notable ending, which saw the audience throw dozens of folding chairs into the ring, burying Public Enemy.[1][2]

Excerpts from Hardcore Heaven aired on episode #70 and #71 of ECW Hardcore TV on August 16 and 23, 1994. In July 2019, the event was made available for streaming on the WWE Network.[3] The bout between Cactus Jack and Terry Funk was included on the 2013 WWE DVD and Blu-ray release ECW Unreleased: Vol 2.
