Summary: ECf'nW at it's best
Review: The third in ECWs' best of series is maybe the best. I'll rate the matches on the stars scale.

Steve Austin vs. Mikey Whipwreck vs. The Sandman: A pretty good match that starts off slow but gets going when Sandman finally makes his appearance about seven minutes into the match. Pretty standard ECW fare in this match. Plus you get a look at the events that led up to it.(***)

Sabu vs. Terry Funk: Born to Be Wired. one the sickest matches you'll ever see state-side. I've never seen anything like it. There is just too much barbed wire. So much that at the end of the match they become entangled with it and have to be cut free. (*****)

Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow: Another great match featuring Taz (Boy, is the WWF wasting his talent.) Some really great hard-hitting spots. The end of this match simply cannot be topped. (***1/2)

The Sandman and Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack and Shane Douglas: This is a great garbage match with basically all the participants beating tthe hell out of each other for 15 minutes before Funk burns Cactus with a branding iron.(***1/4)

Jerry Lynn and Masato Tanaka vs. Justin Credible and Mike Awesome: Whenever Tanaka and Awesome are involved you know it's going to be a great match, and this one doesn't disappoint.(****1/2)

Psicosis vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri: This surprised me. It turned out to be, arguably the best match on here. So many great spots that it's mind blowing.(*****)

Francine vs. Beulah: The supposed original catfight. Not much of a wrestling match with Stevie Richards refereeing and Raven interfering. Basically just glorified T&A (DUD)for the wrestling (*****) for T&A.

Special features: The features on this disc are by far the best in the series.

Promos: The promo montage is great, but the promos featuring Cactus Jack and Steve Austin are must haves.There's also a hidden promo with Austin making fun of Bischoff and WCW.

Extreme Moments: Bill Alfonso vs. Beulah. This was supposed to be a mixed tag but came down to Fonsie taking on Beulah. Fonsie gets hit with a pan and bled so badly that it looked like a faucet.

All in all if you liked the first two DVDs you'll find some great stuff here.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really Good DVD
Review: ECW's 3rd DVD is a good offering. Though not as great as the first two it is still worth a look for all hardcore fans. The opening match between Steve Austin,The Sandman, and Mikey Whipreck is awesome and full of action. This is Austin in his prime,back before the tragic neck injury reduced him to a more simplistic wrestling style. Sabu vs. Terry Funk in a barbed wire match is just something you have to see to believe. Great match with a lot of "sheesh" while your cringing moments. Taz vs. Bam Bam is another good brawl that spills into the crowd and has a great ending. Funk/Sandman vs. Catus/Shane. Hmm. Well fire does not make a match great. Which is basically the only reason this match made the dvd is because of a flaming branding iron. Just an OK match. Tanaka and Lynn vs. Awesome and Credible is another basic tag match with another cool table spot between Tanaka and Awesome. Tajiri vs. Psychosis is a great technical/arieal display,that may steal the show for this DVD. Not as good as the RVD/Lynn match from the first one,but better than the Guerrero/Malenko match from the second. Francine vs. Beulah. Well it's a catfight so what else do I need to say. The Fonzie/Beulah match in the extra section is also a fun match.Very bloody. The Steveamanac promo shows just how funny Steve Austin can be brother. All in all a good DVD,every hardcore fan should have one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not the best ECW comp, but some good matches here.
Review: Here we go:

1. Mikey Whipwreck Vs. Steve Ausin Vs. The Sandman - 3-way elimination match - Whipwreck won the ECW Championship and a fluke and now finds himself between 2 pissed-off drunks. Should've been good, but was pretty boring and way too long. *1/2

2. Terry Funk Vs. Sabu - Barbed Wire match - Sabu wrestled this match shirtless, which is insane in a barbed-wire match. Both men get shredded like crazy with Sabu actually having to tape his arm mid-match because it was bleeding to bad. ***1/2

3. Taz Vs. Bam Bam Bigalow - Kinda slow with bug moves here and then, including a BIG move to finish the match. ***

4. Terry Funk/Sandman Vs. Cactus Jack/Shane Douglas - Wild ECW brawl that uses chairs, tables, canes and everything else they could find. ****

5. Masata Tanaka/Jerry Lynn Vs. Mike Awesome/Justin Credible - 2 feuds collide in 1 tag team match. Awesome/Tanaka is always great, but throw in Jerry Lynn and you've got a great match. ****

6. Psicosis Vs. Tajiri - Both men work the mat with Tajiri kicking the crap outta Psicosis and Psych throwing the aerial moves in between. ****1/2

7. Francine Vs. Beulah - Raven and Steven Richards are guest refs. Francine is with Steven whose with Raven whose with Beulah.. I think I have that right. Not really a match, but you almost see puppies! - DUD

8. Fonzie Vs. Beulah - (In extra section) - Fonzie must've eaten 10 asperins with his bottle of vodka cause he taps a Mutoh scale bloodbath. Like the barbed wire match, it's actually disturbing, but knowing Fonzie somehow survived a loss of most of his blood is amazing!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Awesome DVD
Review: Here is a complete rundown of the matches.

1:Mikey Whipwreck vs.Sandman vs. Steve Austin
This was a decent match.Kinda slow at times but make up for it with some good technical wrestling.

2:Terry Funk vs. Sabu
One word-WOW.This was a great match.Its amazing what these two men can put their bodies through.It was a very violent and bloody match.The ending of the match is pretty disturbing.If you have never seen a barb wire match,when you see this one,you can't help but to just drop your jaw at some parts.

3:Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
This was another good match,with a couple nice spots.Taz suplexes bigelow off the entry ramp.But its nothing compared to the ending of the match,which is very cool.

4:Funk and Sandman vs. Cactus Jack and Shane Douglas
This really wasn't even a tag match,it was just two teams beating the mess out of each other.The match was pretty good but the ending is VERY HOT.LITERALLY.

5:Tanaka and Lynn vs. Awesome and Credible
This was a good tag match with some good technical wrestling.This match also features a really nice table spot.

6:Tajiri vs. Psicosis
This was an amazing match.It has alot of high flying moves and the match is very fast paced,both men show some very nice moves.The kicks that Tajiri does in the match are simply awesome,especially at the end.

7:Francine vs. Beulah McGuillicuty
This is definetely the most boring match on the DVD.If you are a fan of T&A,you will definetely like this one.But if not,don't bother watching it.

Extras:Rare Promos,Wrestler bios,and one extreme moment where Bill Alfonso bleeds alot.

So overall,a very good DVD.You won't be disappointed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It is EXTREME.
Review: Sandman v. Mikey Whipwreck v. Steve Austin
Slow match but there is some technical wrestling mostly from Austin. Austin eliminates Mikey with the Stun Gun. Sandman pins Austin after Woman puts Brass Knucks on the Sandman's hand and he knocks out Austin but Austin gets his foot on the bottom rope yet the ref misses. An ok match.

Sabu v. Terry Funk in a Barb wire match
If you saw the Sandman/Raven Barb wire Death Match from ECW Extreme Evolution
then this match makes that match look like a WCW Hardcore match.
You won't believe what happens to Bill Alfonzo.

The Sandman and Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack and "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. not a bad tornado match.

Taz v. Bam Bam Bigelow
Both these guys put up a hell of a fight. A great brawl and one hell of an ending.

Masato Tanaka and Jerry Lynn v. Mike Awesome and Justin Credible
One of the better ECW tag team matches. Good match. Tanaka gets Awesome Bombed through a table.

BONUS:Yoshihiro Tajiri v. Psicosis
A great high flying, high impact match. A lot of counters and reversals. I cringe every time I see and hear one of Tajiri's kicks. He has some of the most effective kicks in wrestling today. A 5 Star match Bar none.

BONUS: CATFIGHT Francine v. Beulah McGuillicuty
[Female] Show with Stevie Richards as the referee. He acts like an idiot, as expected and lets Raven interfere more than once. ...P>This is a good dvd over all. There are some really hardcore matches. The Psicosis/Tajiri match and the Terry Funk/Sabu match are my two favorites as far as the action goes. The Taz/Bam Bam Bigelow match was not short on action either. I recomend this for any ECW fan. ECW Deep Impact gets a 9 out-of-10 Four and a Half stars.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Better ECW DVDS are available.
Review: If you are planning to get your first dvd or vhs don't get this. Get Heatwave 98' or Path of Destruction. DO NOT but this on VHS at all! The selection is horrible but fans who just want hardcore impact you'll probably like the DVD.

• Title Matches: Steve Austin vs. Mikey Whiprock the Sandman (12/9/95): bad choice for ecw video , **1/2

Terry Funk vs. Sabu (8/9/97): amazing, absolutely amazing display of two great hardcore performers, *****+++ but this is the only match that is really worth buying but you can get it for free on sabu-online.com

, Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow (3/1/98)only one great bump at the beginning where Taz tbones BBB into the crowd off the ramp but this match is just way too short and the ending is amazing if you dont know what happens or read about it but other wise **1/2

• Harcore Matches: The Sandman and Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack and Shane Douglas (3/18/95): uhhh greatest tag match in ECW of all time? i dont think so, the only thing good here is where T.Funk burns Cactus with a flaming branding iron *1/2, all of ecws's greatest icons are here but none of them do their best

Mike Awesome and Justin Credible vs. Masato Tanaka and Jerry Lynn (7/18/98): you'd think it would be their heatwave 98' matches mixed together but its not ****1/2 still good though

• DVD ONLY matches and exclusives:
Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Psicosis (6/19/00)not as aerial as you would think but great technical mat wrestling *****

Francine vs. Beulah McGuillicuty (8/26/95): by todays standards the T&A is nothing here . **

• Promo montage: cactus,austin,steiners,dudleys,joey styles,steven,public enemy,raven and more are featured in this 6 minute montage

• Cactus Jack promo: screams about getting lost

• Steve Austin promo: imitates hogan, pretty funny

• Extreme Moments: Fonzie vs. Beulah : bloody, Fonzie bleeds like a faucet here , if he was wearing a white shirt, the front of it would be all red, no doubt about it ***1/2 for bloodshed

• Wrestler biographies

(hidden promo): Stone cold doing Eric Bischoff , to find this press 6 in title section to access it

Overall: do not buy this on VHS, but on DVD u get a pretty good deal,

Rating: 5 stars

Review: This is the best ECW DVD yet. The triple threat match with Austin(with Hair)vs.Mikey Whipwreck(young ECW Champion)vs. The Sandman. One of the best 3-way brawls I've ever seen. The All time best BARB WIRE matches I've ever seen Featuring SABU & Terry Funk, You can't get more hardcore or bloodier than this match.Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Taz for the Television title good match with a suprising ending you WILL have to see to believe. & finally Mike Awesome & Justin Credible vs. Jerry Lynn & Masato Tanaka, a mixture of excellent talent equals one of the best tag team action you will ever see!The only Drawback is RAVEN is not in it! the best ECW superstar of all time is not even in this tape!besides that it truely is the Best ECW DVD yet

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: That's crazy
Review: Terry Funk v.s Sabu- This macth is very scary. I never seen barbe wire pierce some one's skin or so much blood in one macth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deep Impact is a Wonderful DVD
Review: I would pay the price of this dvd just to see one match: The no-rope barbed wire match from Born to Be Wired, between Sabu and Terry Funk. Wow is all I can say. This match was fast paced and intence for the entire length of the match (slow pace is often a drawback in no-rope barbed wire matches). I have seen death matches from IWA (midsouth and Japan), FMW, CZW, XPW, and BJPW, but nothing i have seen has compared to the all around brutality of this match. Also if you don't like blood, there is a match between Psycosis and Tajiri which is incredibly fast paced and technically sound. That match is also a five start match. The rest of the matches on the DVD are good but forgettable. Nevertheless i encourage you to buy this DVD!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good Video!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The reason I gave this video 4 stars instead of 5 is because the only real match worth seeing is the no-rope barbed wire match between hardcore legend Terry Funk and the homicidal maniac Sabu. This match is definetly not for children, nor the faint of heart. If you think you know hardcore wrestling then THINK AGAIN!!! Sabu and Terry Funk collide in one emotional barbed wire hell, all for the glory of wrestling's greatest prize! This match will make WWF's "Hell In a Cell" matches look like a walk in park! The 1st match on the video is alright. Steve Austin takes on The Sandman and Mikey Shipreck in a three-way dance. The second match on the video is the bloody barbed wire match between Sabu & Terry Funk. In the 3rd match, Taz takes on Bam Bam Bigelow in an O.K. match up in which Bigelow falls ontop of Taz and the ring caves in----LITERALLY! The fourth match is a tag team match up: Terry Funk & The Sandman vs. Cactus Jack & Shane Douglas. This was a pretty good match up with NO TAGGING but a lot of bloody action and an ending you won't believe! Cactus Jack gets burned---LITERALLY----with a flaming branding iron by Terry Funk! OH, MY GOD!!! The last match on the video is a tag team match with tagging and more competition than mutilation: Mike Awesome & Justin Credible vs. Masato Tanaka & Jerry Lynn. This match got off to a rather slow start but was amazing nonetheless. Great athleticism! This video is not for all tastes but worth the look. Be forewarned: the blood really flows freely! If real bloody action turns you off, then please steer clear of this home video.
