Summary: Why was this released on DVD
Review: The WWF wishes they could put out a PPV this good. Jerry Lynn vs Lance Storm is the opening bout and they show how good they can really be. Jerry Lynn is one of the most underrated superstars of his day and the WWF made a huge mistake releasing him. Yoshihiro Tajiri vs Super Crazy vs little Guido is a 5 star match that has many high spots with the normal greatness of any Tajiri and Super Crazy match up. World Heavyweight Title Match- Taz(champion) vs Masato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome in a ECW classic three way dance. Taz is of course [cheated] do to the fact that he [cheated] over the ECW fans by leaving to the WWF. oh but that worked out great for him, going from one of the top men in wrestling history to a goof that wears a stupid... prison suit to the ring. Anyways, Mike "Gladiator" Awesome puts on a unbelievable showing with Tanaka which outshines even some of their classic FMW bouts. World TV title- RVD(Champion) vs Balls Mahoney, it proves once again that Rob Van Dam can work with anyone. Even the "Fake" Wrestling fans in the WWF that only watch to see the rock can see that RVD is amazing. He proves it here when he does a front flip off the top rope into the crowd. Balls Mahoney also gets in some wicked offense. Just figure if RVD can carry (The should be deadman) The Undertaker to a 5star match imagine what he can do with someone who can take bumps. Overall a great buy and see why the WWF stole ECW wrestlers and ECW tv time, because ECW was the wrestling purists dream and they would be toe to toe with WWF if the greedy front office of the WWF and Vince McMahon didnt fear Paul Heymans company as much as they did.

Summary: Best Pay-Per View of the Year?
Review: This event is definately a contender for pay-per view of the yaer, 1999. Kicking off with an absolute cracker, Jerry Lynn takes on Lance Storm in a match easily worth 4.5 stars. Smooth exchanges and high spots combined with some breathtaking near falls.The next one's your typical card filler with Simon Diamond,Tom Marquez and Tony DeVito taking on Jazz(why?),Nova and Chris Chetti. I give it 2 stars as they tried their best in a hopeless situation.Put Tajiri and Super Crazy in a ring together and you get results. Add Guido and you get 4 Stars.The ever suicidal Sabu battles Justin Average in an entertaining 3.5 star brawl.Probably Justins best ever match as the guy really [stinks] in general.The ECW World Title match is an example of bad card placement despite the spectacular results. This definately should have been the main event as it by far the best match on the card. Originally slated as a one-on-one contest between Taz and Masato Tanaka, the unannounced arrival of Mike Awesome (so wasted in WWF) makes this into a crazy stunt filled jaw dropping 5 star match. Tanaka is nuts for taking some of these bumps!!! We are then treated to a waste of everyones time with a rushed tag team title match between Dreamer and Raven and Rhino and Corino. A big disapointment for what I believe was going to be my first real look at the manbeast. 1.5 stars.Finally, RVD manages to somehow bring a good match out of chair swinging ... Balls Mahoney. Not RVDs best but there are some very good spots. 4 stars.Here in the UK, they've pretty much released every ECW pay-per view on DVD and this is certainly one of the best overall purchases.

Summary: Almost perfect but just misses the mark.
Review: this isnt ecw's best ppv, but it is great.

jerry lynn vs. lance storm- great technical wrestling match, and some awesome arial moves, plus we get funny commentary from none other than cyrus the virus. 9/10

the next match never got started really, it was just a little bit of talking, and about 3 miniutes of wrestling, and new jack cleans house. okay segment though for little wrestling. 5/10

justin credible vs. sabu- i thought this match would of been a whole lot better than it was but it was still alright, the usual sabu stuff, and some cool table spots. 8/10

tajiri vs. super crazy vs. little guido- best match on the card, alot of arial stuff, alot of technical stuff also. 10/10

raven and tommy dreamer vs. rhyno and steve corino- not much of a match, basically a five miniute garbage style wrestling match. 6/10

tazz vs. mike awesome vs. masato tanaka- pretty good match, this was tazz's last offical ecw match but he really wasnt in the match that long. we got a few good table spots also, and a really awesome one at the end of the match. 8/10

rvd vs. balls mahony- well rvd managed to even make balls mahony have a good match, not rvd's best match but far from his worst. rvd takes some rough chair shots, as does balls, all in all good match. 9/10
