I didn't see this mentioned just curious.
Do they talk about the Terry Funk & Sabu barbed wire match that was even too extreme for ECW. |

Is the promo involving Brian Pillman threatening to piss on the "smart marks" in this thing? Is there any Pillman in it at all?

Took, if you want the Pillman 'smart marks' promo, get the ECW dvd, Path of Destruction and you'll see it's an easter egg in the menu.
I still don't have this damn dvd yet! I need some money... TO THE EXTREME! |

Ok, haven't finished it yet. Up to the Dudleys. But BEST FUCKING WRESTLING RELATED PRODUCT I'VE EVER PURCHASED. Oh my god (no pun intended) it was just insane. Now keep in mind I was NEVER a big fan of ECW. I never really watched it when it was on back in the mid 90's and only started watching it religiously when it was on TNN. It came on at 2 AM where I lived (New Rochelle. NY) and I was never up that late.
Okay, first of all, if you like hearing stories about the wrestling business from the wrestlers and promoters, this DVD is DEFINATELY for you. I have learned so much about ECW, behind the scenes and in the ring, in the last 2 hours. The Documentary part is pretty long and has so many great stories and tales about ECW. It covers the major characters, angles and backstage sories about ECW. There was one part where Heyman was saying how he suspected a few moles in ECW that were working for WCW to try and get them info. A couple of guys suspected Alfonzo and Todd Gordon were the guys. Heyman fired Gordon because of this. They showed the Crucifixtion angle, which I have never seen before and was just insane. Like myself, Richards and Meanie are Catholic and they were really uncalm about tying Sandman to a cross. They said how Kurt Angle was actually there that night and he was so offended by that angle that he wanted nothing to do with the show or ECW after that. That was some good shit though Some excellent emotional stories in there when Benoit and the gang left for ECW. ECW's first PPV where Funk won the Title. I know some of you will shed a few tears there. Oh and the angle where Sandman's son turned on his dad and joined Raven. Woah, that kid has more acting skills then half of the WWE roster. That was purely awesome.They went over the whole ECW invasion of the WWE pretty extensively and I have seen a lot of that already, but Wow, great times. And what the fuck Vinnie Mack. He comes on and was like "I thought helping out ECW was good for the business." Yeah, no shit. Take your own advice and look whom you can help out right now. So many guys are interviewd here, from Dreamer to the Dudleys to Bischoff, to Heyman to Vince to Dawn Marie to Taz and a lot more. All in all, best documentary I've ever seen, best wrestling video I've ever seen and I'm not even done yet. Even though I'm not a big fan of ECW style matches, I have a ton of respect for thier creativity and development of stories and characters. Also, I kind of feel a bond with ECW being from the North East and that's where most of those guys were from. I've met a couple of them through the years and there just everyday people. Devon lived right up the street from me once. So Excellent DVD. Get the fuck out there right now (yeah, right now jackasses) and buy this. Forget about food, water, family, pets, bills, crack GET THIS DVD. I give it a |

Loose Cannon pretty much explained it for me. I'm not done with it yet either, only watched 1:20 minutes of it, and its fucking amazing. I was shocked with the crucifixion angle with Raven and the Sandman angle with his son, they both were just amazing and awesome.
So far, one of my favorites is Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman in the beginning with the kendo stick shots. Those were brutal and the story was so dramatic as well. I probably havent inspired any of you to pick this up, but go do it and reread LC's post

SPOILERS, HIGHLIGHT TO READ:
The most emotional part I think is the extra with Taz getting Paul E.'s blessing. Seeing Taz break down is something I thought I'd never see. |

This was the best WWE DVD I've ever seen. GREAT shit, and they did it like they should. They didn't shit all over ECW. Very good and interesting stories.
Now if they would release the Rise and Fall of WCW, with the same type of 3 hour documentary, my DVD collection would be complete. The Monday Night Wars was okay, but if it was in this format...

Former ECW star Beulah McGuillicuty made her first public appearance since leaving the business in 1998 yesterday during WWE.com's Byte This Internet show, promoting the Rise and Fall of ECW DVD. McGuillicuty came on the air briefly via telephone to thank a fan that had correctly answered a trivia question about the lesbian angle ECW ran in April 1996. After McGuillicuty had left the show, Paul Heyman noted that she was now married to Tommy Dreamer and at one point, turned down a $10,000 offer from ECW to return for one appearance against Dawn Marie during Dreamer's feud with Lance Storm. Heyman also noted that when she left, she was out so completely that ECW's videogame license Acclaim had to personally negotiate with her in order to include her as a legends character in the first ECW videogame, Hardcore Revolution. A complete report on Byte This, which featured Paul Heyman, Tazz, Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Rey Mysterio discussing Extreme Championship Wrestling, is forthcoming. |

I got it from FYE with teh skull cap.
I watched it all the way through today. Haven't watchd the 2nd disc yet but I tell you what the first disc is completely awesome. I mean if all it came with was that first disc. No skull cap, no 2nd disc. I still would have bought it. Even at the reg. price of 29.99. This DVD is definitely worth it. I've been a fan of ECW since I first found it flippin through channels sometime in 95. Back when Raven and Dreamer was gettin it on and stuff. Been with them until they went under. This DVD is well worth it. One of the best, nono I take that back. As of right now it is THE BEST DVD WWE has ever put out that I've seen. And I've seen a lot. If there is even just the slightest hint inside of you that you want it then I would say go with that lil hunch and pick this DVD up. I guarantee that you will not regret making the investment. |

Havent watched the whole thing yet, but I went to the extras just now and watched RVD against Jerry Lynn at Hardcore Heaven. Its an awesome match after like the 15-20 minute mark. RVD showboats WAY too much in the first like 10 minutes and it takes a little while for the actual entrances. But there were alot of high spots and it was back and forth while they were going at it and it was brilliant. Also, the crowd was hot all the way throughout the match, which is good. One thing that annoyed the shit out of me other than RVD's showboating was Bill Alfonzo's whistle. He should be shot for that

I haven't got the DVD yet (comes out the 26th here), but I was wondering how good are the matches and the footage they show you. Is it enough to let you walk away feeling like you've been exposed to a large amount of what ECW offered the public, or does it feel more candid, in that you only receive a portion of what ECW was all about, and what it had to offer?

I take it you don't read too much do ya Alienoid. I mean I basically promoted that thing as a must get. Watch it and you will understand. Or at least read some of the posts on here (including mine) from those that have watched it.

I did, but it still really didn't answer my question. What kind of footage was shown? A bit of everything, all of everything, select things to go with the matches? I really enjoyed the unofficial reviews that you guys gave it (thanks, BTW, and I'm definately going to buy it), but I was just wondering what kind of format everything takes, and how they show us the footage? And does it let you wlak away feeling like you're an expert on ECW, or do you need to go out and find more to satisy your cravings?
BTW, do you think the WWE should re-release the ECW DVDs complete with bonus features (commentary, interviews, bonus matches, etc.)? I can see them selling like hotcakes with The Rise & Fall doing well. |

I just got to borrow it from a friend, and I must say that this DVD is awesome. I rarely watched ECW, but just watching this made me wish I had watched more often. It's even amazing and almost upsetting to see how big some guys were, and to see how non-ECW they are today, is just unbelievable.
But this is also one of the best DVD's to know the real story. As there seem to be differing opinions on how ECW ended. From Bubba Dudley saying it ended due to bad business decisions, with Paul himself saying the only reason it ended is because they did not get a network in time. Something else I'm interested in, did TNN give advertising to ECW after Heyman's "shoot" promo? I'm also a big NASCAR fan, and they used to be on TNN. And I can almost guarantee I've seen ECW ads during the NASCAR broadcasts around 99-00. Lots more things I was shocked by and wish I had seen while it was on such as the crucifixion, Bubba Dudleys nasty comments to the crowd, and Tazz as a monster. Great DVD, definitely a must have. |

Got the DVD yesterday, and yeah, it was worth the wait. I loved the Paul Heyman/TNN shoot, those are the kinds of promos and whatnot I'd like to hear. Although I followed ECW from 96 and on, I did not know about the Sandman/Raven cross situation. That was ..something else (and I am not religious or anything but.. wow..). So, yes, this is a well made DVD and I am not done with the second dvd yet. Get it now.. TO THE EXTREME!! ..I miss ECW...
Oh, and I got the dvd at Best Buy for 16 dollars plus tax and it came with a free RVD figure for the first week. It is a stupid looking figure though.. |

If they do something similiar with WCW now, I'd be happy. Think they'll do anything with ECW on RAW or SmackDown! now?
