Summary: Quick Review of a great DVD
Review: Heres a very quick review of the ECW DVD " ECW Deep Impact "

Steve Austin vs. Mikey Whipwreck vs. The Sandman

a below average match with medicore hardcore and technical wrestling. Only reason to watch this is to see Steve Austin with his long hair. * * 1/2
-----
Sabu vs. Terry Funk: Born to Be Wired

This match is pretty disgusting, lots of damage done to both wrestlers but espessially Sabu. * * * * 1/2
-----
Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow

Pretty decent match with a awesome finish * * * 3/4
-----
The Sandman and Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack and Shane Douglas

Slow paced and boring, some people call this the greatest ECW tag match but I disagree interally. * *
-----
Jerry Lynn and Masato Tanaka vs. Justin Credible and Mike Awesome

Now heres a good tag match, crowd dives, good wrestling and a awesome powerbomb over the top rope. * * * * 1/2
-----
Psicosis vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri

This match had my Ittention the whole time, I was very amazed with both wrestler and the crowd is awesome which helps it to be that much better of a match. * * * * *
-----
Francine vs. Beulah

This isnt really a match, just T n' A (DUD)
-----

Overall a very good DVD, I am very pleased and I recommened it to all fans of wrestling.

Summary: ECW ARE THE BEST!!!!!!
Review: I have just watched ECW Deep Impact and all I can say is WOW! As a big fan of ECW for a long time I did not think they could bring out a video that would be better than the 19 I all ready have but they have done it. The Sabu Vs Terry Funk lived up to the hype as these guys give it 100% and prove that they are the hardest working wrestlers on the planet. Buy This Video and all the others and have the best wrestling company in your house. ECW, ECW, ECW, ECW, ECW, ECW, ECW, ECW, ECW,

Summary: Harcore Action+Great DVD Extras+Hidden Promo= AWESOME DVD
Review: This is the third installment in ECW's "Best of" DVD series. Not having been able to follow ECW during its "Golden" years (it didn't air out in my area) I quickly purchased this DVD. In my opinion, it was money well spent. The DVD features 7 matches (actually 9 if you think about it, more on that later...) plus some GREAT DVD extras. Here's the match rundown:

1. Mikey Whipwreck vs The Sandman (w/ Woman) vs "Superstar" Steve Austin (12/9/95): Three-way dance for the ECW Heavyweight title. The match itself was fairly average, BUT it alone delivered more than its fair share of "money's worth" material on this DVD. Obviously, ECW is trying to ride on Stone Cold's coat tails. The intro to the match (via video packages) actually follows most of Austin's ECW career highlighting his feud with the Sandman and his quest to beat Mikey Whipwreck for the ECW Heavyweight title. The video package actually shows most of Austin's first match with Mikey where Mikey upsets the "Stone Cold Superstar" for the win. The match itself was average but is on its own more like two matches (Mikey vs. Austin, Austin vs. Sandman). Great technical wrestling with Austin and Mikey and decent hardcore match with Austin and the Sandman. Overall, a great look for Austin fans at his "pre-Stone Cold" days. 4 stars.

2. Terry Funk vs. Sabu (8/9/97): Bared wire match for the ECW Heavyweight title. Brutal hardcore match bound to leave you cringing with great hardcore spots. Everything gets torn to shreds. Brutal (and a little spooky) ending where everything ends in a tangled mess. Plus, a "cameo appearance" by Rob Van Dam. (5 stars).

3. Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow (3/1/98): Classic match for the TV title. Tons of action between two world-class competitors. Great wrestling action combining good mat wrestling, power spots and some hardcore spots thrown in. In fact, the battle was so great that not even the ring itself could support this colossal battle. SHOCKING ending. Definite keeper. 4 ½ stars.

4. Terry Funk and The Sandman vs. Cactus Jack and Shane Douglas (3/18/95): Great hardcore garbage match with four ECW/hardcore legends. Non-stop garbage spot fest. Plus, the fire-branding iron. 4 ½ stars.

5. Masato Tanaka and Jerry Lynn vs. Mike Awesome and Justin Credible (7/18/98): Huh? When did these guys ever team up? At first I was a little skeptical on this match when I saw it on the line-up, BUT this match totally delivers the goods. Tanaka vs. Awesome is ALWAYS a great fight. Toss in Jerry Lynn and it's a keeper. AWESOME match combining the best in technical mat wrestling, power moves, aerial spots and of course, hardcore action spots with chairs and yes, tables. Great, great, great match. 5 stars.

6. Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Psicosis (8/19/00): Again, I was slightly skeptical at them choosing this very recent match over something from their golden era from 95-96 but after viewing this match I can easily see why they did. One word sums this match. WOW!!!! UNBELIEVABLE action between these two. One of the great things that set ECW apart from the rest was the incredible in-ring product and these two International superstars delivered the goods. AWESOME work rate featuring incredible mat wrestling and breathing taking aerial spots. Pure athleticism at its best. 5 stars and a bag of chips.

7. Francine vs. Beulah McGuillicutty (with Raven) (8/26/95): Special guest referee Stevie Richards. The original catfight. Not exactly a wrestling classic, but definitely an ECW classic with GREAT T&A.

Aside from the great matches, to me, the real selling point of this DVD is the DVD special features which include:

1. Promo Montage: One of the better features in the DVD special features. A montage of ECW promos including: Tommy Dreamer, Cactus Jack, the Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh, D-von, Sign Guy, Dances With, Big Dick), the Steiner Brothers, Public Enemy, the Eliminators, Raven, etc...

2. Steve Austin promo: His debut promo where he debuted as "The Stevester." Plus, appearances by the Public Enemy and the Gangstas.

3. Extreme Moment: "Fonzy" Bill Alfonso vs. Beulah McGuillicutty. Another ECW classic. By no means a stellar match but mighty entertaining (and hilarious) to watch.

4. Cactus Jack promo: A decent promo. Jewel for Foley fans.

5. Wrestler bios. More bios written by Michael Johnson II. Once again, a nice extra but nothing earth shattering.

In addition to all of this, like Path of Destruction, this DVD also features ANOTHER HIDDEN PROMO. However, it's not another must see with the late Brian Pillman. This DVD has a "hidden" Austin promo doing an Eric Bischoff skit. Short, but VERY hilarious. To access it, go to chapter 6. If that doesn't work, just keep looking. You'll find it.

Overall, AWESOME DVD. Here's my rundown:

Great: The Promo montage, classic ECW. Personally, the DVD extras are the real stars of this DVD. With the quality of the action that's actually saying a lot. The match with Tajiri and Psicosis was AWESOME.

Good: The other matches. The list of matches may at first be a little unassuming but they picked some great matches this time around. Honestly, not really a bad match on this. Classic ECW.

Bad: Nothing!!!

Summed up, GREAT action, GREAT extras. GREAT DVD. Great investment for ECW fans and fans of great action. Worth buying? You bet.

Recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent DVD from a Great Federation
Review: Sandman vs. Steve Austin vs. Mickey Whipwreck: A decent bout with two big superstars. Injuries in the middle of the match made it less enjoyable.

Terry Funk vs. Sabu: One of the sickist matches ever in ECW. Both men worked hard and put up an unreal match.

Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigalow: A bit short, but very enjoyable if you miss the "Human Suplex Machine" Taz.

Sandman and Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack and Shane Douglas: This match was on ECW Extreme Evolution Volume I so most major ECW fans already have it.

Jerry Lynn and Masato Tanaka vs. Mike Awesome and Justin Credible: An enthrilling bout that was given the needed time and was extremely suspenceful.

Tajiri vs. Psichosis: An amazing match that rivals work done anywhere in the world.

Francince vs. Beulla: This was also on Extreme Evolution. It might have been revolutionary back then, but it is really nothing special now.

Overall, Deep Impact might not be as good as Path of Destruction, but is a must have for any wresting fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Impact of ECW
Review: Once again a great DVD from the now dead ECW promtion. Like they knew they were going down as they speak of the Deep Impact this company had on the wrestling business.(ultimately killing them with other promotions taking their wrestlers and ideas) A little bit of everything including a recent Psicosis agains Tajiri match that prooved ECW still had great wrestling until the end. Classic matches like the Sabu vs Terry Funk born to be wire match or the original catfight often copy but never quite like this first time. The best part for me were all the promos extras on the DVD. The compilation of promos is just awsome a must for the real fan with all the great and even greater ECW moments in it. The now classic extra for this one is the skit of Stone Cold as Eric Bischoff, just hit your search button for title 6. Even better at the end they talked about the future DVD coming up, hopefully it will happen even with the bankrupty.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was certainly DEEP IMPACT.
Review: This is probadly the last "Best Of ECW" DVD but It was awesome.Terry Funk vs Sabu was Awesome.Both guys gave it there all.It was truly a blood bath.Also on It you can see Austin(before stone cold)imitading both Hogan and Bishoff.Also theres an awesome wrestling match between Psicosis and Taijiri,with ultra stiff hits and great high flying and technical wrestling.Also features such stars as Mick Foley,Tazz,Bam Bam, Shane Douglaus,Steve Richards ,Raven and the Dudleys in the Promo montage.This DVD is a must for any HARDCORE fan!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy This
Review: I pre ordered this and recieved it today(4/14). When I got it I put in in the DVD player and watched every second of the 148 minutes(not including the special features). Here are my thoughts of the matches.

Mikey Whipwreck vs. The Sandman vs. Austin A pretty good match. Very cool to see Austin from '95 with long blond hair.

Born To be Wired: Barb Wire match for the ECW heavyweight title Sabu vs. Terry Funk This match was B-R-utal(as Edge and Christain) would say. It was very hard to watch at times. Overall it was a great match though and the effort these men put into this match is astounding.

Taz vs. B.B.B. I liked this match. If you haven't seen Taz before the WWF than this is a good match to see. Very stiff match.

Funker and Sandman vs. Cactus Jack and Shane Douglas A pretty good match with a very "firey" ending.

Tanaka and the new F'n show vs. Mike Awesome and Justin Credible I was glad to see this match because of Jerry Lynn(I can't wait till he debuts with the WWF). I also marked for Awesome's mullet. This was a good match.

Tajiri vs. Psicosis This match was incredible. Great Technical action. This match made me more anxious for Tajiri's WWF debut.

Francine vs. Beulah Good T&A match. And even some classic Stevie Richards refereeing.

Special Features: Wrestler Bios: Austin Francine Nova Raven Beulah Spike Dudley Benoit Bill Alfonso Psicosis

Cactus Promo: good old school Foley promo Austin Promo: funny Hogan impersionation by the "Stevester" Promo Montage: Short clips from old promos...good stuff

Bill Alfonso vs. Beulah Fonzie nearly died because of his blood loss in this match. He bladed wrong because he was like a fountain. This match was better than I thought it would be.

This is a very good buy. If you don't have Extreme Evoulution or Path of Destruction I highly reccomend those DVDs also.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: possibly the last "Best of ECW" DVDs
Review: While the ECW company appears to be dead (Paul Heyman is at WWF and most of the talent fled), the third "Best of ECW" DVD appears to be quite a treat. The third and possibly last DVD will feature seven action-packed matches of innovative violence.

Reportedly, these are the matches: 1.) Mikey Whipwreck (c) vs. Steve Austin vs. The Sandman for the ECW World title; Dec. 1995

2.) Terry Funk (c) vs. Sabu; no rope/barbed wire match from August 1997

3.) Taz (c) vs. Bam Bam Bigelow for the ECW TV title from Living Dangerously 1998

4.) Terry Funk and The Sandman vs. Cactus Jack (Mick Foley) and Shane Douglas; March 1995

5.) Masato Tanaka and Jerry Lynn vs. Mike Awesome and Justin Credible; June 1998

6.) Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Psicosis; August 2000

7.) Francine vs. Beulah; original catfight August 1995

Rating: 5 stars
