ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) - Wrestlepalooza '97 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a major ECW event that was held back in May of '97 to set up for their next PPV (ala WCW's Clash Of The Champions or WWF's Saturday Night's Main Event) and Rick Rude joined Joey Styles on commentary for the main event matches.
Television Champion Shane Douglas vs. Chris Chetti - The best part of this match was the prematch promo when Shane Douglas completely buried the Philadelphia Flyers for being "swept" in the Stanley Cup finals. Besides that, it was an average wrestling match that went around 7 minutes but Chetti was impressive for being a rookie at this time.
The Pitbulls vs. F.B.I. - This was nothing more than a comedic tag team match as most of the F.B.I.'s matches were as Guido & Smothers got in their comedic spots before the Pitbulls beat them with their power moves.
Dudley Boyz vs. Sandman & Balls Mahoney - This was an enjoyable just a brawl from bell to bell.
ECW Champion Terry Funk vs. Chris Candido - Before the match, there was an emotional speech by Stevie Richards who had a neck injury & had to forfit the title shot. The match for the most part was dominated by Candido before Terry Funk pulled out the victory out of nowhere. A match that wasn't anything special but watchable.
Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven - Their final encounter & this match showcases what was great about the ECW enviroment...anywhere else you go in wrestling at this time, if you knew that a wrestler was leaving the company after a match, you know they were going to lose & put the other guy over but you weren't sure here still just based on the fact that Tommy never beat Raven for over 2 years. The had fighting through the crowd & all around the arena & Raven using all of his tactics & members of his nest to stop Dreamer who just wouldn't be denied this time. ECW classic here but it got overshadowed by what happened after the match involved the returning "Mr. Monday Night", Jerry "The King" Lawler and the rest of the ECW locker room.
(Also available on "Rise & Fall Of ECW")
Taz vs. Sabu - This was the rematch from Barely Legal but this match was less than 10 minutes & was just a backdrop to the storyline that was being setup for the next match but it was a good match for the short time it had.
Television Champion Shane Douglas vs. Taz - After Douglas had been taunting Taz for the past couple of mins., they fought in a 3 min. challenge for the TV belt which Taz choked out Douglas to win the TV belt.
Tag Team Champions Eliminators vs. Dudley Boyz - Saturn had a torn ACL & was scheduled for surgery so Kronis fought this match alone & was beat up by the Dudleys a majority of the match with Saturn occassionally coming in to help him out but the ending to this match is something you would never expect concidering the circumstances.
This event had more plot twist and unexpected appearances that would crap on a majority of the WWE/WCW PPV's during that time period. If your a fan of a show that's worth your $$$ from top to bottom, this is highly recommended.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a wrestling freak and here is my reviews for this pay per view with every match rated with 5 stars being the best. let's start
1. Lt. Loco vs. Disqo for the cruiserweight title - suprisingly not a bad match, Loco was a good cw champ at this point in his 1st reign and Disqo was in the filthy animals. too short is 4:55 and a dumb finish to boot. RATING: **

3. DDP vs. Mike Awesome - I like Awesome here and this is not a bad match and this is when Kanyon turns on DDP and gives him a kanyon cutter through the stage. RATING: **1/2
4. GI Bro vs. Shawn Staisiak - OH MY GODD!!!!!!!!!! what a stupid match. this was Booker T's worst point in this career and we know how boring Staisiak can be ecspecially in 15 minutes!!!!!!!!!! RATING: DUD

6. US Champ Scott Steiner vs. tank Abott and Rick Steiner - here are two words to explain this match: fast forward RATING: DUD
7. Hollywood Hogan vs. Billy Kidman - Hogan sux....we all know that and Kidman is awesome and Hogan would never job to anyone!! ecspecially Kidman.....terrible finish to a terrible match RATING: *
8. Ric Flair vs. David Flair - Good match here with the nature boy and his gay son!!!!!!!!!!!! we all know david flair can't wrestle if his life depended on it but his dad carried him here RATING: ***

ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) - Guilty as Charged 2001 (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In a time of today where WWE ruled the wrestling world, it's not too cool to see that they are the only one that's offering the product on a mass audience scale, and it doesnt even look as good as it could be. Makes me long for the days when there was actual competition from other companies, like ECW. Guilty As Charged 2K1 was the last Pay Per View ever done by the Philadelphia company, and it turned out to be one of the better ones they ever did in their history. While the show may not be as good as it can be in some areas, it is still better than what the WWE is offering today. Here are the match-by-match breakdown:
1. The Network (Jerry "New F'n Show" Lynn and Cyrus) Vs. Josh Matthews and Christian York: Not much of a match as the Baldies crashed Matthews' and York's entrance and pummelled them all the way to the ring. Lynn and Cyrus came in and match ended with the Cradle Piledriver by Lynn to give the Network the W.
2. World Tag Team Championship match: Danny Doring and Roadkill (champs) Vs. Hot Commodity w/ Chris Hamrick and Electra- Great match from the tag teams with lots of technical moves and double teaming. Champs retain, then got beaten up by HC and Hamrick. Nova then comes to the rescue, which leads into...
3. Impromptu Match #1: Nova Vs. "Confederate Currency" Chris Hamrick- The New Nova shows off new attitude and moves and all. Great wrestling displayed here. The end was bad, though, with Chris Chetti, Lou E. Dangerously and Spike Dudley all got involved in the end. Nova wins it with the Kryptonite Krunch.
4. "I Quit" match: "The innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer Vs. CW "The Enforcer" Anderson- Brawling, technical wrestling, weapons and blood. This match has it all here. Lots and lots of sick bumps taken by both men in the match. In the end, Anderson submitted to TD.
5. 3 Way battle for the Tag Team Title's #1 Contenders status: "Japanese Buzzsaw" Yoshihiro Tajiri & Mikey Whipwreck Vs. Super Crazy & Kid Kash VS. The FBI- Now this is action-packed wrestling!! Very fast, very innovative match makes this the match of the show. The display of submission moves at one point in the match by all three teams was incredible. Tajiri and Whipwreck took this one after delivering simultaneous Tiger Suplexes on the FBI.
6. Chilly Willy & Balls Mahoney Vs. Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger: Not much of a match here either, as Rhino came and destroyed all four combatants AND their valets (Jasmine and Dawn Marie). ALso, Blue Boy took a gore from Rhino too.
7. World Heavyweight Championship Match: Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Canes- The Sandman Vs. Steve Corino Vs. Justin Credible: As Francine and Jack Victory roamed around ringside, this match played itself out as an incredibly violent and exciting match from all three men.The Title is suspended above the ring. Lots of action and double teaming, with the TLCC's being employed very well by the all three. Sandman takes it here.
8. Impromptu Match #2: World Title- Rhino Vs. The Sandman: Rhino crashed Sandman's celebration and destroyed everyone in his sight. Then after extorting the Sandman to face him for the world title, he destroyed him with gores and piledrivers through tables. Rhino is YOUR last ever ECW champ.
9. Impromptu Match #3:Rhino Vs. Rob Van Dam- After the win, Cyrus came into the ring, congratulated his Man Beast for the win, and challenged anyone from any wrestling company to take on Rhino. "Walk" by Pantera hits, and we get RVD on the scene, back after filming "Black Mask 2" in Thailand. As Rhino and RVD was about to face off for the World Title, Jerry Lynn crashed the party,and Rhino fled with the belt. So with that, we have..
10. Main Event: Rob Van Dam Vs. Jerry Lynn- Lynn's wish to main event at the beginning of the show comes true, albeit against his nemesis, RVD. Not the best match out of their numerous encounters in ECW, but it is still good, with lots of action by both men. Cyrus interfered, which brought out Joel Gertner to DDT him, and RVD finished Lynn off with two of his chair-assisted finishers: the Van Daminator and the awesome Van Terminator.
So there you go, ECW's last ever show went down with a bang, and so did the company soon after. Much better show than a lot of the PPV's you get from WWE nowadays. A great show to pick up for any wrestling fan or ECW newbies.

WWE Rock Bottom 1998 (1998) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There's not much I can say about the actual event that hasn't already been said, it was mediocre at best, but I can add my opinion about the actual DVD...
First off, there are NO EXTRAS...now, I'll admit, I wasn't surprised by this...Sure the WWF could have opened up the vault and given us some cool stuff leading up to Rock Bottom 1998, but they didn't and it's not the first time they released a DVD without any extras...What can you say, I guess the WWF doesn't "Get It" when it comes to making the DVD more worth buying by adding extras...
But I'm not mad about there being no extras...sure, extras are nice, but they don't have to be included...
What I am mad about is the exclusion of a MENU! How do you exclude a menu from a DVD? Isn't the menu standard? This is the only DVD (in general) I own (and I own a number of DVDs) that has no menu...And no menu means no select a match feature, which means if say you don't want to watch the whole event but rather just want to watch the buried alive match, the main event on the disc...you can't just press and button and be at the start of the match (like you can with other WWF DVDs), oh no, you have to FAST FORWARD throught the whole event...You can't even jump from chapter to chapter because the whole event is one chapter...
Basically the WWF just took the video version of Rock Bottom and transferred it over to a DVD...Very disappointing...
Take a mediocre event, mix it with no extras and NO MENU and you get a DVD worth passing up...Unless this is your favorite event in WWF history (and then I ask why?) or if you already have it on VHS and want to replace the video with a DVD, pass on this one...You'll be happy you did...
