This show was terrible.

Sky Sports ruined it for me. I'm sure RVD vs. Rey and everything else that happened in the 1st hour were great but I didn't get to see it so I can't take those aspects into account when judging the show.

The battle royal was just shit. Typical boring battle royal totally void of excitement.
The Big Show to ECW moment was great however and my favourite part of the show.

Edge vs. Dreamer was on of the worst matches in a long time. It was NOTHING like an ECW match should be. It was just slow-paced, hard to watch "wrestling".

Foley's Promo was good.

Sabu vs. Cena was also a let down. The match didn't suggest to me that Sabu is "homicidal, suicidle and genocidle" crazy fucker that he is.

I'm disappointed.

Well Sadistic - At least you get your dream rematch at ONS.

I meant that in an "an All-Kevin Nash Wrestling special would be better than WWE of late" kind of way.

Also, it bothered me that in the Dreamer/Edge match they actually brought weapons to the ring. They should have called it a weapons match, not an ECW/EXTREMEEEEE rules match.

Also, Rey/RVD, while their timing was a bit off and were a bit sloppy (probably due to not being in the ECW-style groove) it was a pretty good match. I really loved the nod to the ECW RVD when he bowed.

I found it hard to focus on the match, the commentary had my full concentration.

Rey diving into the crowd was one of my biggest mark-out moments this year. That opening match should have been the main event.

The dive was another thing. It's almost impossible to do the dives to the crowd in huge arenas like that, because there are so many fans and kids around that don't know enough to move, so the wrestlers probably have to tell them multiple times to get the fuck out of the way.

Big arenas for spots like that won't fly very well.

Sabu is fucking crap. He cannot live up to his "Homicidal, Genocidal, yadda yadda" reputation anymore than Cena can live up to his "street Thug" reputation.

That's what I was implying with the "requoting you" bit.


Uhhh...Every time they've done something ECW in the last 2 years, it's involved weapons. They're selling it as EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME (Which means weapons, hardcore, bleeding, barbed wire), not on all the grounds that everyone points out. People keep saying that old ECW wasn't just about hardcore garbage spots, so new ECW won't be like that either. But what do they show in the promos? What do they talk about? What do they hype? Oh yeah.

That was an awesome match, timing or no. I noticed a few Fuckups, but meh.

They couldn't have that. Ending the scard with something other than the "John Cena clears out the ring" Shit?

Great show! The commentary was great. A perfect example of what you get when there is some competition in wrestling.

I'm interesting in finding out the ratings though. And I was hoping for more from the Sandman and Justin Credible.


I kind of expected the crowd to be silent because they are unfamiliar with the ECW guys. Give the WWE fans some time to get to know and familiarize themselves with the ECW guys and that will change.

Aren't ratings generally low on these "specials" regardless?

I thought this was way better than the return of SNME.
