Movie Reviews of ECW - One Night Stand
Movie Review: ECW Stands Above Recent WWE PPVS
Summary: 5 Stars
Its' often been said that, ever since Vince Mcmahon destroyed the mainstream territories (WCW, and the already financially-crippled ECW), many fans felt the time had come to abandon the WWF, without comepetition, there was no diversity, no preferred promotions, and without motivation, the WWF has been reduced to a hit-and-miss mess plauged by political manipulators like Triple H, and forced to change it's name to satsify the World Wildlife Funds.
Whilst WWE occasionly still manages to bring out a great PPV here and there, a long term goal on thier part has yet to be accomplished: To grab the attention of an IMMENSE worldwide audience, and not just thier loyal fanbase.
Then, in 2005, Rob Van Dam proposed an ECW reunion PPV to follow the immesnly sucessful sales of "The Rise And Fall of ECW", the result? The most entertaining WWE funded event in YEARS.
ECW One Night Stand reunited most of the original stars of ECW (minus Terry Funk, Shane Douglas, and Raven, arguably three of the greatest wrestlers and draws in the companys' history), and even managed to accomplish the unbeleivlble and restore Joey Styles to commentary, alongside hardcore legend Mick "Cactus Jack" Foley.
The event, featuring surpise finishes, unbeleivible shoot promos from Rob Van Dam and Paul Heymen, and a main event brawl which included the return to the states of burning tables, completly outperformed the promotion that funded it, a promotion whose main PPV attractions range from Chris Masters' masterlock challenge filling up ten minutes, and Diva segments filling up five, and Triple H in the main event as usual. ECW One Night Stand was a tribute to a truly exciting and innovative diversion from the same ratings-sapping garbage we've come to expect from the WWE, a company now, in DIRE need of examnining itself.
Lance Storm defeated Chris Jericho: **, a short, yet enthrallnig wrestling match between Jericho and the former Impact Player, Storm puts on a credible performance, and aid from Justin Credible ensures he wins the match.
Super Crazy defeated Tajiri and Little Gu=ido (Nunzio): ***1/2, another short match, but far above any cruserweight encoutner on SMACKDOWN, Super Crazy took more than a handful of risks in the match, even moonsaluting off of a balcony in the ballroom.
Rey Mysterio vs Psychosis: **, Rey and Psychossi played it safe here, Rey's recent leg injury however did'nt hamper much of the action that followed, look out for Psychosis' leg drop off the top rope onto Rey proned on the steel barricade, Rey wins with a 619 (Not a finsiher he had performed in ECW, hence why the New York Crowd boos him)
Chris Benoit defeated Eddie Guerrero: ***, match of the night so far, another criminally short, but enthrallnig encounter,m Benoit wins with the crossface
Following this, Rob Van Dam emerges and cuts a scathing promo on his WWE Chracter, Rhyno speares him, setting yup a match with Sabu
Sabu defeated Rhyno: ***1/2, a great match, which revived expectations from the legendary Sabu, Rhyno was out to prove something tonight, as he pulled all the stops, even a pildriver, before Rob Van Dam interfered, giving Sabu enough time to hit a legdrop onto a table to defeat the ex-WWE employee
Mike Awesome defeated Tanaka: ****, say what you want about Awesome, but he redeemed himself in more than one way as he and Tanaak put on a ferocious powerbomb-ridden encounter with many near falls, broken tables, and broken bodies, Awesome awesome bomba Tanaka through a table followed by a diving head butt to the outside to pin him.
Heyemen then emerged to cut his own promo, acknowledging the fans for restoring ECW, turning his attention to Edge, Heymen only had two words for him: MATT-FREAKING-HARDY (Edge tries to disguise his complete decimation by insisting Heymen said three words), confirming the REAL person who suffered from Edges; affair with Lita behind the scenes. He also went the distance in confirming J.B.L was only champion for a year because "Hunter did'nt want to work Tuesdays"
The Dudley Boyz defeated Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman: Not a five star classic in terms of wrestling, but TEN STARS for being the main reason WWE main event currently suck, the crowd singing The Sadmans' entrace theme to the ring, Sandman swallowing beer from fellow ECW Divas' chest areas, cameos from Kid Kash and the Blue World Order, Tommys' former girlfreind Buela returning and helping him to double DDT The Dudleyz, and the return of the flaming tables, which the Dudleyz used to destroy Dreamer and pin him to win the match.
Following this was a short brawl between ECW and WWE led by Stone Cold Steve Austin, with WWE being destroyed in a matter of seconds, Kurt Angle being choked into submission by Tazz, and Eric Bischoff left to the mercy of the very promotion whose talents he raided to keep WCW fresh and innovative.
Although each match was quite short, not ONE was actually bad, the excitment and entertainment was everlasting, when have we seen this in WWE for a long time? Even Wrestlemania does'nt hold a candle to this gem, this reminder of what we used to watch. This not the WWE, nor is it WCW, or RAW, or SMACKDOWN, this is consistent, non-stop WRESTLING, this is E-C-F'ING-W
