Summary: Barely Legal: The first and still one of the best PPVs
Review: Over the years ECW had done many Pay Per Views with extreme hardcore stuff, but Barely Legal is like comparing ECW to WCW. ;yeah really its that good; Here is the card The Dudley Boyz vs. The Eliminators This is a great match with many spots and aerial maneuvers. 7/10 Rob Van Dam vs. Lance Storm This was one of my favorite matches with great technical wrestling, another high flying match 9/10 Great Sasuke, Gran Hamada, and Masato Yakushiji vs. Taka Michinoku, Mens Teoh, and Dick Togo This was my favorite match of the night that had unbelivable japan wrestling moves. 10/10 Shane Douglas vs. Pitbull #2 This is the boring match of the night but it did have some surprise guest during the match 5/10 Taz vs. Sabu I honestly dont know why everybody thinks this match is so good, I mean sure there was great wrestling and spots but this is Sabu were talking about, compared to his other matches with Sandman this was a sleeper. 7/10 Stevie Richards vs. The Sandman vs. Terry Funk this was a good match and the wrestlers made good use of the ladder and barbed wire, this was one of terry funks most Memorable matches. 9/10 Terry Funk vs. Raven The main event after the three way were raven beats on a beat up Terry Funk, great match and I bet big dick dudley wishes he was never there. 8/10 There is only one special feature and that is the match histories which isnt the greatest but its better than nothing. This DVD is great and has every thing, hardcore, aerial, technical and just plain crazy. Overall mark 8/10 Highly Recommended

Summary: RVD and M-Pro save in a BIG way
Review: The Michinoku Pro match is freakin' amazing and RVD/Storm is just okay (both guys have had much better), but that's it. The Eliminators' match is a squash with some highspots (not as well done as the MPro), the Douglas/Pitbull match is just too long and boring as hell, Taz/Sabu is a VERY dissapointing match, the 3-Way is too drawn out and there's not much...you know, wrestling, and Funk/Raven is good for Terry's bleeding but it's not really a match. If you're an RVD junkie, go ahead. If you've never seen Japanese lucharesu, go ahead. If you're an ECW mutant you'll love this, but otherwise just don't bother. Oh yeah, and the special features are nil, but the footage quality is surprisingly good.

Summary: Barely Legal '97: A Night to Remeber
Review: This DVD was great, even though the RVD match was disappointing. 1) The Dudley Boyz VS The Eliminators
This match had a lot of intense action, even though it wasn't as good as Saturn diving off the entrance, but good enough.
4 1/2* 2) Rob Van Dam VS Lance Storm
This was the absolute most disappointing match of the evening. The finisher, the Van Daminator, wasn't as good as it was in later DVD's. This match was also slow and boring.
2 1/2* 3) The Great Sasuke, Gran Hamada, and Masato Yakushiji VS TAKA Michinoku, Dick Togo, and Mens Teioh
I have heard many good things about Michinoku Pro, and this match proves it. A whole lot of action is in this match, so I would say that this match is worth the price of the whole DVD!
5 * 4) Taz VS Sabu
The only match I've seen between these two. There was intense action, and Sabu even gets his nose broken! This is the best Taz match I've seen besides his match against Bam Bam Bigelow at Living Dangerously '98.
4 1/2* 5) Big Stevie Cool VS Sandman VS Terry Funk
This is a very cool match, with the biggest move being the Funker doing a moonsault off of a ladder! I'd have never expected the Funker to take such a big risk!
4 * 6) Raven VS Terry Funk
This match was for the ECW World Heavyweight Title. I didn't see the whole match, but I know that Terry Funk wins.
N/A Overall, this DVD is worth the price, so I advise you to get it along with Deep Impact and Heatwave '98.

Summary: ECW Officially on the f'n map
Review: This is ECW's very first and highly anticipated pay per view, EVER. Dudley Boyz vs. Eliminators is a good, but short spotfest. RVD vs. Lance Storm is good,nothin to write home about. The Michinoku Pro 6 Man Tag is HANDS DOWN the MATCH OF THE NIGHT, and definitely one of ecws best matches EVER. TAKA Michinoku, Dick Togo, and Mens Teioh battle Great Sasuke, Gran Hamada, and Masato Yakushiji in a high flying acrobatic match that makes ANYTHING the wwf and wcw puts on look like a Big Show/Billy Gunn match. Simply AWESOME. Shane Douglas vs. Pitbull #2 SUCKS. the ending was the same as Heat Wave 96 and The Doctor Is In, which made the match even worse. Sabu vs. Taz was a great brawl, with some surprisinly good technicality. Sandman/Stevie/Funk was an all out BRAWL, with tables, chairs, ladders, barbed wire,garbage cans, a very hard hitting match. Raven vs. Funk, well, it was short, but there was a sweet bump during the match taken by Big Dick Dudley, but i wont spoil it for you. All in all, definitely worth a look, and well worth the money.

Summary: An OK show
Review: This show gets a thumbs up for one reason, the Japanese match with the great Sasuke and company stealing the show completely. RVD puts on a spotfest, Pit Bull 2 wanders around the ring for 20 (!!!) minutes no selling, and it ends with a big fat DUD. But still despite all its short comings it gets a thumbs up for historical reasons and for the Japanese guys.

Summary: very good
Review: This was a pretty decent show.The Sandman, Terry Funk [WCW], and Stevie Richards [WWF] battled in a match to determine who would get an ECW Heavyweight title shot. The winner of that match took on Raven for the title in the next and final match of the night. I really enjoyed this event and would recommend it to any wrestling fan but the best real action is at ... to. Even big fans of the WWF and WCW will recognize many superstars.

Summary: ECW's first PPV Barely Legal!
Review: This was a very good card from the BEST wrestling promotion. All the matches are very good but very different so there is a match that all wrestling fans will like because of the show's diversity. The reason the dvd gets 4 stars is because the match between Shane Douglas (the most over-rated wrestler of all time) and Pitbull 2 is incredibly boring and hard to watch. My advice is to just skip over this match because it is just terrible. Nevertheless this is a great dvd.
