I got it yesterday. I was really impressed with the documentary, especially how no information was concealed, everything was straight-forward. I never knew ECW was that crazy (Douglas throwing down the NWA title, Sandman being crucified, Sandman's son angle, the lesbians) because I was never able to watch it. I also never knew that ECW invaded WWE in 97--really slipped my mind there.
Even if you're not an ECW fan it's a great documentry for any wrestling fan to watch. |

The DVD just makes me upset that ECW is gone. Even the lower card matches were tinteresting , because you never knew when a totally different match would break out of the original match. You'd have Nova and Doring going at it, and then all of a sudden it becomes doring and roadkill vs nova and chetti, and then new jack will come out, and it becomes something totally different. Amazing DVD>

The best part about ECW is something a lot of people don't think about. Fact is, pretty much the entire card had a purpose. EVERYONE involved was working a program; where as in WWE the top two spots on the card are built around programs, most everything else is just there.

I vaguely remember the ECW invasion. Didn't like King and Heyman have an arm wrestling match or something?

Does anyone think they'll release a DVD with the "best matches" in ECW history? Like maybe make it a 5-disc set. With the sales The Rise and Fall is reeling in, would it hurt to maybe capitalise while the greatness is still in people's minds?

I picked it up today at best buy and it kicked major ass. If I was just a bit older in the 90s, I would have taken the trip down the expressway to the bingo hall to watch some of those events. I still kinda miss ecw

I miss the way Paul Heyman almost kept ECW alive in the WWE by really getting over guys like Rhyno. Heyman is actually responsible for the heat this guy got in 2001, IMO.

Finally fucking managed to find it in stores. Watched the entire documentary in one sitting. Fantastic, makes me miss the promotion so much. I was a total ECW mutant, well as much as one my age at the time (14 or 15) could be in Canada . I followed it primaly through WOW Magazine and the internet, I was so pumped when it came on TNN, but man did Disc 1 represent the siutation perfectly. TNN fucked ECW over, I remember one time watching it for the last minute or two of the show they shrunk the screen down to maybe 1/8th the size and ran an add for Roller Jam right up until the end of the show, it meant you could arely make out the finish of the damn match that was on TV. I firmly believe that TNN played one of the biggest roles in killing ECW.
Great DVD |

I have but one complaint. They didn't use This is Extreme in any shape or form. I was dying to hear that music blast and watch some of the great moments of ECW in rapid succession.

Got my copy yesterday. This has to be the best dvd the WWE has put out. I started watching it at about 11pm last night and was watching it till about 4am. I followed ECW alitttle, but I because WCW was the only fed I could get at the time, I mainly followed that.
Some of the stuff on the dvd I remember seeing. The crucifiction of Sandman didn't really shock me that much now, but if I'd seen it a couple of years ago I probably would have been like everyone else in the areana was. I respect Raven even more now for when he came out and apologised for doing it. I loved how ECW didn't treat their fans like idiots. The firing of Sabu really showed that. I loved every minute of this, and I have much more respect for Paul Heyman now. Hopefully a Rise and Fall of WCW will be released, that would be amazing to see. |

Yeah, but there isn't much detail on it as a WCW fan would want, and no where near as much as this dvd. If they made a rise and fall of WCW, I would be in heaven.

I wouldn't mind it if they released a three-disc DVD set for both promotions (ECW & WCW) with the greatest matches of each in it. That would be worth a few hands of cash. |
