Just got back from my friends house and watch this since he taped it on his Tivo thingie, oh my god!

I know alot of Neowinians don't care for wrestling and that's fine, but for those of us who love wrestling, you OWE it to yourself to watch the replay of this PPV (if there is one) or buy it on DVD when it comes out. It was without a doubt the BEST wrestling PPV I've ever seen. Incredible wrestling and all the guys put their hearts into every moment of it. And just seeing Mick Foley and Joey Styles together and everything else, man the memories of 1996-2001!

And seeing Sabuuuuuuuuuuu! Sandman and Dreamer. It was so awesome, and speaking of awesome heh pun intended. The BEST match on the card was Mike Awesome vs. Tanaka (forgot his first name)

These two guys put on some of the best matches ECW ever had back in oh 2000 and 2001 I'd say, right before ECW went out of buisness. And their match last night was one to remember.

So did anyone else see it? I can post all the results if people want, and how good each match was etc, it really was a terrific event. Hell the WWE website was brought down because so many people were ordering the ECW PPV online! I hope Vince McMahon realizes how much potential actually exists with ECW still, and considers continuing the ECW storyline, or even an offshoot show/brand (not the brand extension crap, a real seperate company style thing)

I wish i would have seen it, but I've read some outcomes of the ppv. I read that Awesome powerbombed tanka onto the outside of the ring on a table. If this ECW was the most watched ppv then any other WWE ppv, i hope vince sees that and does some change to the company or does something with ECW.

Just a few things i want to ask about the ppv

What did stone cold do

Did the crusaders do anything

What happen to taz and angle

Yes, Awesome did his "Awesome Bomb" on Tanaka on the outside ring into a table. He powerbombed him through the table pretty much with a running jumping start. Just awesome (get it??? heh)

Well:

Stone Cold didn't do much, he came to the ring and called out the WWE wrestlers and then the big brawl at the end took place, with ECW destroying the WWE guys (props to all the WWE guys for letting this happen btw)

No, the Crusaders didn't do anything other than the brawl at the end. Though JBL ripped on ECW pretty good.

Taz was there, he came in at the end during the brawl along with Angle. Taz took out Angle and choked him out with his submission hold. There were like 50 guys in the ring at this point after Austin called the brawl and beer (JBL hahahah!)

^^Awesome, heard the crowd was insane, And that paul and rvd was rippin up wwe.

"Edge is here, good thing i didnt bring my wife"

"Only reason jbl is champ is becuase triple h didnt want to work tuesday"

LOL

Have you ever seen NWA TNA wrestling?? They tape there shows at universal studio here in orlando florida. I go there on occassion, a good escape from wwe. Good potential there too.

Oh man it was a great PPV, The sandman was WASTED Though, Bubba ray DDTd himself. It felt like a WWE house show to me, where its not televised and they can do whatever they want. The only match i didnt like was Benoit vs Gurrero. Why did we have to sit thru a match that can be on WWE at anytime?! I hope they do bring back ECW as another federation. It would be cool.

"No one else with a scripted promo has the ***** to say this to you Edge but I do! I have two words for you....Matt fricken Hardy!"

Heh heh. And He said "Oh no its Edge, hide your wives!" :D

Yeah I've seen TNA, I don't like it really, unfortunetly. Jeff Jarett needs to learn to give the title to someone else for more than a month. But there is a ton of potential there. If they can get a national TV deal (they are still working on getting the monday night RAW spot now that RAW is going back to USA) they could get decently big.

They did Benoit vs. Gurrero because ECW wasn't always about chair shots and burning tables. It was also about awesome techincal wrestling, and you can't get better for technical wrestling than those two.

This PPV was the best one I've since probably.... oh the last ECW PPV (wwe should take note :unsure: ) the Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka match was just as good if not better than the ones they did 5 years ago... now I just gotta wait to see Hardcore Homecoming for another "Extreme Fix"

One thing that woulda been awesome is if the ring would've cleared out at the end and Taz woulda tazplexed Angle around for a bit for choking him out.

I stayed up over here in england because I just love ECW....I so miss it its been like 4 years and it only seems like yesterday I was watching barely legal or november to remember..the PPV itself was brilliant favourite match would have to be awesome vs tanaka althought dudleys against sandman and dreamer came close second (Flaming table!!!and Cheese Grater :o )....cant believe the crowd just shows the love for ecw is still there and will always will be...do you think wwe should bring the ecw back for like monthly shows are weekly shows and one more thing before I go because I could type all night I will say this.....OH MY GODDDDDDD!!! :D

Yes I saw that on the PPV itself and the reports afterwards. Nothing like a real life hatred being shot on in the ring. JBL is lucky Vince doesn't normally punish people for that. I would fire him on the spot however.

yeh I hate bradshaw myself...lol..so I agree with that :)

I loved Heyman shooting off on Edge, that was just terrific stuff.

586060095[/snapback]

you know I never would of thought they would of allowed him to say about that...but that was funny I was in stiches at that...*Matt FREAKIN Hardy* :cool:

JBL is a smart smart man, but his on-air personality leaves alot to be desired. Unlike other wrestlers who do nothing off-air to make a living for themselves post-career, JBL has a ton of money lined up for when he retires. :)

As for Heat, well I agree no one watches it, but it isn't as simple as just make it an ECW show. WWE has a certain deal with Spike TV and they can't alter it without alot of headache. Nor would Spike even allow ECW back on its airwaves imo. But with the move to USA and how good USA treated WWE back a few years ago before their move to Spike/TNN, I wouldn't be surprised if they offered them a timeslot for an ECW style show. But I think that's just to good to be true, it'll probably never happen.

Bradshaw has lots of money yes, but he's still a douche.

Yes I'm aware of all the problems and hang ups that would occur from trying to changed Heat to an ECW branded show, but I still think it would be a good thing, would take Heat's low ratings and probably double it at least, even if it had to be toned down somewhat, I'm sure they couldn't run flaming tables and cheese graters every week. Wishful thinking I know, but then again 3 years ago I though I'd never see an ECW show again so...

I haven't watched the One Night Stand but it did sound great from reading the results. In my opinion, WWE would probably ruin the ECW federation if they were to expand it to maybe weekly, monthly or even annual shows. To me, they would just be stretching what may have been an awesome ending for ECW to something as a reborn federation that will just get worse and worse. Though who knows if that will happen, it could easily become something good but I just really doubt it for some reason.

Most likely, I'll end up buying the ECW: One Night Stand DVD and if the Hardcore Homecoming DVD, as well as that documentary which I have forgotten the name of... comes out here in Australia, I will get those too.

Here's the transcript of the Paul Heyman shoot promo if anyone is interested in reading it:

Paul Heyman enters the ring, with visible tears in his eyes listening to the crowd.

?Thank You Paul? Chants from the crowd?

Heyman looks very emotional?

More ?ECW? Chants from Paul Heyman:ul Heyman: ?I want you to know that I?m not crying?my eyes are red because I was in the back smoking a joint with Van Dam?

I have a need in my heart to thank Tod Gordon for giving me the chance to be creative and book for you crazy ******s. I have a need to thank that man Ron Buffone and his partner Charlie Bruzzese for sticking with us and sitting in a TV Studio and building that TV show for you?you are the craziest ******s I have ever met in my life?I love every one of you.

(Crowd starPaul Heyman: E.?)

Paul Heyman: ?And I was gonna take the high road and justMick Foley: leave??

Mick Foley: ??Paul Heyman:igh road Paul??

Paul Heyman: ??but I have something to say to you! (points to the WWE wrestlers in the balcony) You see?I?ve waited a long time to say this to you?Eric Bischoff! But in case you don?t notice?it?s not Paul Heyman with his tail between his legs going to a WCW PPV?YOU ARE IN Paul Heyman:33;?

(Crowd cheers and chants ?ECW?)

Paul Heyman: ?Oh wait a minute? wait a minute? wait a minute?hide your wives?it?s Edge!?

(Crowd begins to chant ?You SPaul Heyman:dge as he reacts with a laugh and starts drinking his beer)

Paul Heyman: ?Now Edge?I know nobody with a written promo has the balls to say this to you but?I have two words for you?MATT-FREAKIN?-HARDY!?

(Crowd Erupts in a masPaul Heyman: chanting ?We Want Matt!? as Edge does a spit take with his beer)

Paul Heyman: ?Well, with that?I almost forgot about you! Mr. Shoot Promo himself?bounced Checks?ECW went out of business?Hey John?On a personal note?from all of us just to you?since you want to shoot cowboy?the only reason you were WWE Champion for a year, is because Triple H didn?t want to work Tuesdays??

(JBL mocks Heyman by iPaul Heyman:telling Elizabeth that he?s coming to heaven with a heart attack as the crowd erupts in approval)

Paul Heyman: ?Now one more time for old times sakes?right there so the whole world can see us?this ain?t WCW?this ain?t Monday Night RAW?this ain?t SmackDown!?this ain?t even WWE?this my friends?is E-C-F***ING-W!!?

(Crowd chants ?ECW? as Paul Heyman exits the Hammerstein Ballroom)

This introduced my GF to ECW, and she couldn't believe it ;)

Yeah bradshaw is a loser, a bully, can't shoot a promo and certainly can't wrestle. Why he is even on my screen is beyond me.

Shame there was so much WWE in the event. ECW fans didn't need Austin coming to save the day for them!

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.

Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output.

Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries.
