Summary: One Of the Best ECW Vids around
Review: match 1
Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko vs. Sabu and Taz.
This match was pretty good. It It has 3 of my favorite wrestlers in it Sabu, Taz and chris Benoit. Sabu did some nice moves. 3 1/2 stars.

Match 2
Steel Cage Match The Eliminators vs. The Gangstas.
This was AWESOME i loved it. I dont like how other people said in their reviews that it wasn't good because Saturn only did no more than 4 jumps off of the cage but let me tell you, as a wrestler i know that it takes some serious balls to do what saturn did. Great Table Spot. 5 stars

Match 3
Double Dog Collar Raven and Stevie Richards vs. Pitbulls
This was another great Match. Hardcore and lots of tables. 5 stars

Match 4
Shane Douglas w/ Francine vs. Pitbull 2 w/ pitbull 1
Ok Pitbull 2 got busted open badly but nothing that great but still good. 3 stars

Match 5
Lucha Libre style Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Juteved Gurrero
Great match one of the best on this tape. Lots of high flying action. Just AWESOME. 5 stars

Match 6
Scafold Match Tommy Dreamer vs. Brian Lee
Awesome. Some people say this wasnt great but to me it was. It isnt easy to be on top of a swinging scafold and to fall it is pretty scary. I give 5 stars because it was really good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rey/Juvi 2/3 falls. Best Lucha ever
Review: Nothing I can say can explain how good the 2/3 fals match is. It's the 3rd best match I've ever seen (Hart/Austin WM13, and Foley/Michaels Mind games are better). Nobody I know has ever heard of this match and it's amazing. Buy the DVD for this and the Austin promo.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome
Review: Sabu and Tazmaniac (!!) vs. Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit. About ten miniutes long. Full of cool spots. Taz gets carried out mid mad because of an injury. ***1/2 (out of 5 stars)

Gangstas vs. Eliminators. WHY GOD? WHY? 1/2* And they gave this thing 15 MINIUTES.

Raven and Stevie vs. Pitbulls. You may know Stevie as "Steven Richards" in the WWE today. Best match on the DVD without a doubt. ***** all the way. CZR voted this best match of the 90's for ECW. So I guess alot of people agree with me.

Shane Douglas vs. Pitbull 2. This was WORSE than their Barley Leagal match. And that's saying something. 1/2*. Get this: Paul actually gave them 20 MINIUTES!

Rey Mysterio vs. Juvy. Great match. Joey Styles is funny when he gets all excited. ****

RVD vs. Sabu. This would be the famous Stretcher Match. Match was a good look at a pretty young RVD. And a Sabu that was still in his prime. The match was 25:00 miniutes though! Great match, otherwise. ***3/4

Sandman vs. Cactus Jack. I could live without ever seeing this match again. Thankfully, next year Cactus went on to better things in the WWE as Mankind. *

Tommy Dreamer vs. Some guy. I forgot his name. Who cares, match sucked. DUD

All in all. This is easily one of the best ECW DVD's to date. Get it NOW!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fans of Scientific Wrestling Beware, Still A Fun DVD.
Review: The matches:

1.Benoit/Malenko vs. Sabu/Taz ****1/2
A fun, fast, match. Benoit and Malenko ingeniously help Sabu and Tazz to the best performances of their career, by beautifully controlling the flow of the match allowing Taz and Sabu to get quick well timed bursts of spots and high impact moves. Benoit closes the match with a great superbomb spot on Sabu. Best match on the DVD.

2.The Gangstas vs. Elimantors *
This match is terrible. They basiclly walk around the ring cutting themsleves with hidden razors. Saturn jumps off the cage a bunch of times to keep the audience from going to sleep. But it doesnt work. features deadly weapons like a keyboard too. Bad Ending too.

3.Raven/Stevie Richards vs. The Pitbulls ****1/4
Once again a fun and entertaing spot fest. It also managed to wrapup a bunch of angles at once. This gives the match its legenardy status as one of the best booked matches in history. Lots of people get involved which may confuse someone new to ECW or unaware of the angles at the time. Still the endless spots will keep you interested.

4.Shane Douglas vs. Pitbull2*3/4
Starts off good with Pitbull targeting Shanes neck with cool moves like a Tombstone, DDT, Brainbuster and a neckbreaker. Sadly they decide to walk around the arena for about 10 mins softly patting each others backs with chairs and what not, putting me to sleep. Pitbull does a brutal blade job(blood is cool), as the match sluggishly drags on to one of the most anti-climatic and dumbest endings in wrestling history.

5.Rey Mysterio JR. vs. Juventud Gurerra****
Lots of cool fast paced spots. Some decent mat wrestling and brawling too. Very Entertaining match.

6.Tommy Dreamer vs. PrimeTime*
Not a match at all, just a big bump by Prime Time.

RVD vs. Sabu**
Slow boring match with some good spots that make it watchable. But about 75% of the match is them setting up a spot or them resting after a spot. Excellent example of poor match pacing.

Foley vs. Sandman**1/4
This like a T.V. Raw match or something. It has promise, but seems very rushed. Nothing is given proper time to develop. The match suddenly and disappointally ends with a Shane Douglas runin.

Overall 3 awesome matches, 2 average matches, 2 bad matches, and a sick bump. Everything is watchable though. This is the 2nd best ECW DVD available. If you like your wrestling fun, give it a try. If you want scientific mat wrestling, look elsewhere though. Even the best matches on this DVD are spotfests with little wrestling.

Summary: Hardcore History AP
Review: This DVD is amazing and entertaining. It shows the early years of ECW. The promotion that changed wrestling and was the home to some of the most memorable acts and moments in professional wrestling history. WWF has never had wrestling like this. Back in ECW they had very limited space to wrestle so they really had to make due.

Taz and Sabu Versus. Sabu Very good match. Taz does some great suplexes and Sabu goes crazy in the last 10 minutes by going crazy with the dives from the ring to the floor. Killer ending and very interesting angle with Publi Enemy 4 stars

Pitbulls Versus Raven and Stevie Richards. Hard fought match and maybe one of the greatest matches of all time. Great moves through tables. A lot of wrestlers invovled and killer powerbombs. 5 stars

Sabu Versus Sabu. Maybe their greatest match, even better then Lynn and RVD. A lot of top rope spots, but not many table spots. 5 stars

Rey Misterio Versus Juventud The greatest one on one Luchador Match of all time. Enough said 5 stars

Pitbull versus Shane Douglas Very good match and really bloody. Unfortunately, I'm getting tired of the Pitbull versus Shane Douglas. 4 stars

Da Ganstas versus Eliminators. Just one thing, what the hell is Saturn doing with moppy? This shows his true talent and why he maybe could have been the greatest wrestlers of all time. Never saw so many dives off a cage. Disappointed at New Jack. Okay weapons but good fight. 4 1/2 stars

Sandman versus Cactus Jack Slow match. So pretty good spots and is pretty good. 4 stars

Dreamer versus Brian Lee Okay match but the fall will keep you breathless. 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a must buy
Review: this dvd is great, the 2 bonus matches and the extreme moments are amazing. the matches are incredible, a must buy for any wrestling fan. you get so see taz with long hair, which is a good laugh. perry saturn assaults the gangstas through the air. tommy dreamer sends a man through 3 tables. jack and sandman beat each other. sabu and van dam have a classic, and brutal, stratcher match. i loved this whole dvd.
