Movie Review: Almost Greatness
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD offers up great material for anyone who didnt watch ECW back in the height of their popularity. This will definitley save you from spending Ebay bucks for the same product. But in my opinion this DVD has a few minor problems. First of all most of these matched have been released on DVD before. Secondly there are some matches that really dont fall under the category of violent. Why is there a match with Beulah vs. Bill Alfonso but not one single match with New Jack? The match is absolutely terrible. And lastly, some of the matches really show how amateur some of the wrestlers were from a technical angle. There are times when Tazz's foot doesnt even make close contact to someone he's supposedly kicking. But if you can get past those obstacles you will see some very entertaining hardcore matches. Anything with Sandman, Sabu or RVD is completely over the top. Worth the price if you dont already have ECW DVD's.Movie Review: The Legend That Won't Die!
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite the fact that its WWE owned now, I have to give WWE a little credit in that at least they recognize that ECW, years after its demise, still has power!
ECW: Bloodsport featured matches that I've never seen before so I was happy to pay $18 bucks to purchase it! Here are the matches:
DISC 1
Catcus Jack & Mikey Whipwreck Vs. Public Enemy (ECW World Tag Team Championship Match) - I am not sure but I think ECW was still EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING at this point. Even back in those days though, it was already EXTREME! The match itself sees Mikey take a beating as well as Catcus but still pulls off an upset against the favored P.E.
Sandman & Terry Funk Vs. Cactus Jack and Shane "Franchise" Douglas - A wild affair from 1995 which saw the introduction of the flaming branding iron!
Axl Rotten Vs. Ian Rotten (Taipei Death Match) - Taking a page from the Jean Claude Van Damn movie "Kickboxer", these two have an anything goes match with taped fists mixed with superglue and beer glass! VERY BLOODY BOUT!
Rey Mystero, Jr. Vs. Psicosis (Mexican Death Match) - These two went at in a match where you must answer a 10 count or lose the bout! Similiar to a "Last Man Standing" match but you must gain a pinfall or submission prior to the 10 count!
Shane "Franchise" Douglas Vs. Chris "Lionheart" Jericho Vs. 2 Cold Scorpio Vs. Pitbull #2 (ECW TV Title Match) - This was done Four Corners style where you had to tag in and out. It went on until only one man remained! This match saw Douglas win the TV title and the beginning of a long team-up with Francine, who turned on Pitbull #2 during this match.
Tommy Dreamer Vs. Brian Lee (Weapons Match) - The former fake "Undertaker" gives his biggest moment in his time in ECW as he choked-slammed Tommy Dreamer though about 4 or 5 tables to the concrete floor!
Rob Van Damn Vs. Sabu (Stretcher Match) - Not really bloody but very physical, especially in the last 10 minutes!
Terry Funk Vs. Sandman Vs. Stevie Rchards (3-Way Dance #1 Contender's Match) - This was at the first ECW PPV called Barely Legal in 1997! You will also see the winner take on then-ECW champ Raven immediately following this match as well! Classic ECW bout!
DISC 2
Sabu Vs. Terry Funk (Barbed Wire Match/ECW Title) - A match so violent, even Paul Heyman didn't want to see another!
Beulah McGillicutty Vs. Bill Alfonso (Intergender Match) - Very bloody bout! Surprisingly vicious!
Tazz Vs. Bam Bam Bigelow (ECW Death Match) - These two had two PPV matches and in my book this one was overall the better of the two!
Tazz Vs. Shane Douglas (ECW World Title Match) - Okay match but the one from Guilty As Charged '99 a week earlier was better! My only guess why they didn't use this match was because it featured the late Chris Candido running in as well as Tammy Lynn Sytch (Sunny) but then again, that's never stopped WWE before so who knows!
The Dudley Boyz Vs. Spike Dudley & Balls Mahoney (ECW World Tag Team Title Match) - This was made a Chicago Street Fight match with an ending reminisent of the Dudleyz' bout with Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman at the recent ECW One Night Stand!
Mike Awesome Vs. Spike Dudley (ECW World Title Match) - HOW THE HELL IS SPIKE NOT DEAD AFTER THIS MATCH?! He had his moments but Awesome really destroyed him!
Rhino Vs. Sandman - Not a bad bout from ECW on TNN.
Super Crazy Vs. Tajiri Vs. Little Guido (3 Way Dance) - These three always put on a great show together and this match is no exeception!
Tommy Dreamer Vs. C.W. Anderson ("I Quit" Match) - Very physical bout! Features alternate commentary from "The Coach" and Tommy Dreamer himself who admits he watched the legendary Magnum T.A. Vs. Tully Blanchard "I Quit" bout to get ready for this match!
Mike Awesome (RIP) Vs. Masato Tanaka - Their recent bout from ECW One Night Stand!

While there are things about this collection that could've been better (and I do agree that the Mastato Tanaka/Mike Awesome match should've been left off since its already available on ECW One Night Stand), I am over all pleased with this since I only saw ECW in its latter days so any footage I can get my hands on, I am glad to get!
UPDATE 2/20/07:
I should report that Mike Awesome recently passed away at age 42. While viewed as a traitor by "original" ECW fans, he DID put on great matches and (along with Masato Tanaka) put on the best match at ECW One Night Stand 2005! He will be missed.
Movie Review: Time of Chapters
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm interested in buying but one thing urks me, the time of the chapters. I've noticed that some of the matches last less than it's actual time that it happened, some shorter than 30 seconds. Can anyone shed some light on this?
It's getting a 5 out of me because it is ECW but I don't know what the WWE has done with the footage.
