paulfurn Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Hi guys, Did anyone watch this last night? It was on SS1 at 1am. Its basically an old wrestling organisation called ECW that has no holds barred, no DQ's, just loads of tables (but not like you see in WWE), high risk manoeveres and a great deal of blood (last fight was a bit gruesome!). It went out of business some time ago, though they decided to get together for one more night. I know it sounds sad (Im 28 ffs!!), but really, it was absolutely brilliant! This isnt anything like the WWE stuff on Sky.... Defintely the best wrestling event Ive ever watched. In fact, its the first time Ive watched every bit of a program that late until 4am without falling asleep! Forget your WWE "storylines", this was just ace - no namby pamby bullshit! There is no way you can choreograph some of the moves those guys were doing. If your interested its on again at 9pm tonight. Believe me, its NOTHING like the WWE - you wont be disappointed if you watch it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 WWE is boring. They basically own the industry now and have no competition hence why there is no characters and no interesting wrestling. Its just steroid heads pretending to punch each other these days. I like watching blokes beat each other up be it real (Boxing,Muay Thai,UFC,K2,Pride etc) or fake (wrestling), but WWE is very very very boring and soulless these days TNA has good wrestling but is packaged in a shambolic manner, they do have AJ Styles tho, who is a good entertaining wrestler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfurn Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 I agree. I think the times may have come where Vince is thinking that he has too many "hardcore" (ex ECW) in the locker room being underused - well, they cant show that amount of violence on a typical family wrestling show - and I wonder if this will make a comeback as a independent organisation with the financial backing of the WWE. I hope so, because its so much better. Maybe just a PPV though? But I agree the WWE is indeed very poor... cringeworthy almost! Bravo had the last UFC pay per view about 2 weeks ago which was very good also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
