Movie Reviews of ECW: Extreme Championship Wrestling - Path Of Destruction (Uncensored)

Movie Review: Best Wrestling DVD....... Ever...
Summary: 5 Stars

Matches (rated out of 5 stars):

1. Chris Jericho Vs. 2-Cold Scorpio Vs. Pitbull #2 Vs. Shane Douglas - ECW TV Championship 7/13/96 - This is an amazing 40min 4-way elimination match. It's not a free for all, but a tag elimination match in which anyone can be tagged in. Shane Douglas is a great despicable heel, Scopio and Jericho are awesome as usual and even Pitbull #2 does a great job. Highlights include a top-rope powerbomb, a plancha-city spot and Scorpio pin point dropkicking Jericho in midair during his Lionsault. Great drama building towards an incredible finish involving a table.. *****

2. Rob Van Dam Vs. Bam Bam Bigalow - ECW TV Championship 4/4/98 - Rob Van Dam does some ridiculous aerial moves in his attempt to win the title from the "Beast from the East". Although there's nothing extremly special about this match, it remains one of my favortes for some reason. ****1/2

3. Sabu Vs. The Sandman - Stairway to Hell Match 1/10/98 - An anything goes match between 2 of the most suicidal wrestlers in ECW. The object is to pin your opponent and there's a roll of barbed wire hanging from the ring accessible by a ladder only. The Sandman and Sabu take some *CRAZY* bumps in this match and destroy about a half dozen tables. ECW hardcore at it's best. How many times has Sabu had to wrap himself up mid-match.. *****

4. Ian Rotten Vs. Axl Rotten - Taipei Death Match 7/1/95 - If you like brutaility this is it! Former tag team partners, and brothers, take their frustrations out on each other by dipping their hands in glue and then glass. Blood Blood Blood. One of the goriest matches I've ever seen. I respect the lengths they go to for the fans, but with no wrestling involved this turns into just senseless carnage. *1/2

5. Jerry Lynn Vs. Tajiri Vs. Super Crazy - 3-Way Dance 11/7/99 - A 3-way elimination free-for-all. Anything with Tajiri and Super Crazy is sure to be memorable but throw in Jerry Lynn and you got a classic. Lots of great moments including a moonsault off the 2nd floor. ****1/2

6. Dean Malenko Vs. Eddy Guererro - 2 out of 3 falls 8/26/95 - Both wrestlers were going to the rival WCW Federation but instead of booing them out of the building, the extreme ECW fans gave them a heartwarming send-off. In their last ECW match, they give the fans a usual Amazing Malenko/Guererro technical match. Very classy send off for 2 great wrestlers. ****1/2

7. Psicosis Vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. - 9/16/95 - The first time I saw these two wrestler was during the 95' Super J-Cup tournament and they blew me away! Although this match isn't as good, anyone whose a fan of high flying/technical wrestling needs to see one of their matches. It should be required viewing :-) .. ****

Extra DVD Stuff: 1 Audio track. Various text Biographies of former/current ECW wrestlers. Some great promo's especially from Steve Austin and Stevie Richards. Joey Styles introduces every match with it's history. Easter egg: From the main screen click on Special Features. When Wrestler Biographies is highlighted click to the right ->. The debut and promo of the late Brian Pillman should start.

Jezz what a DVD!! Three 5-star matches! Whoever picks the matches for these ECW compilations does an amazing job! Now if only WWF would follow suit..
