IYH Wrestling

its been done so many times.. let the poor corpse lie in its coffin!!

there absolutly isnt an audience anymore, and peoples taste or appetite for it, was killed off by the 2 years of b.s tv show wwe put on...

for the love of god shane douglas i hope you didnt take any loans out to fund the extreme reunion, because ive a horrible feeling you`ll have a hard time even paper ticketing (giving out free tickets) for the event!

The reunion show is sold out.

It won't die, but should probably. Right now it's like watching buckets of paint being thrown onto walls in wrestling to see just what sticks. At some point someone will come along and make a run at it, I think. Until then it's just a terd that just wont flush.

( note I'm a big ecw fan, but without the cogs that make it ecw it's still just wrong)

As someone who watched ECW when it actually aired and went to an ECW event, I second the let it die already promotion. The Hardcore Justice flop alone should been a sign. This is nothing more than a bunch of barely ever famous hasbeens who just can't let it go. These guys aren't doing it for some love of the company their just being whores

But like Jack said above "The reunion show is sold out." So people still want to see it.

good for them I don't give a flying fart. How many people are in that arena and even so do you think though people are going to want to pay for another ticket to see a Cancer patient Sabu? Trailer Park Raven? Can't even lift his arms over his head Axl Rotten?

You got two factors here.

1) the fans who can't move on from that era. Wrestling from the 90s is dead its been dead and it will never be back, move on with your life. I was a big ECW fan, I'm a huge for example Sandman fan but if you don't think its sad to see him in his late 40s taking unprotected chair shots for a couple of hundreds bucks holding out for god knows what than i'm thinking you might want to rethink your personal life

2) then you have the wrestlers. The guys who claim they do it for the love of the business. that is utter crap. These guys keep doing these shows because they get money for it. Do you really think people are beating down New Jack's Door to come to their shows to hit people with weapons and say fuck a couple of times? There is a reason most of thse guys are free to do this show and tis because their asses are unemployed.

Lets count the reunion shows. You had Two ECW one night stands, a new brand of ECW on WWE Television, TNA gave them a television and Pay per view run, They had Shane Douglas running shows back in 2006 a couple of times and you also got multiple books and DVDs on the subject and this isn't counting the multiple just regular indepedent shows that ran reunion type angles with ECW wrestlers...........SERIOUSLY move on with your lives. Star a support group or something becasue its becoming pathetic to hold on to a company thats original run died over a decade ago.

Worst of all if this was like a NWA fanfest were they were doing autograph signings, and hold a couple of matches and just having a event for the fans thats different. However last I heard Shane Douglas is talking about trying ot make this a serious company which again move on with your lives

So what?? Sure, it isn't the ECW of old that we all loved, but it doesn't have to be nor does anyone EXPECT it to be. Shane's not only out there because he still has the passion for the brand and wrestling in general, but also because it's a fun, viable business venture. There are no illusions about recreating the same level of ECW magic of old, but for the fans in attendance at those sold out venues, it's a modified piece of wrestling history, live and I'm sure a HELL of a lot of fun. FUN, gentlemen. You should try it sometime.

P.S. I wish Shane nothing but the best in keeping it going for as long as he possibly can, for the fans, for himself and for wrestling.

they are entitled to do what they are doing it's fine with . they should keep the hardcore mellow; no one needs to get hurt at this point. as for letting ec dub die ;don't worry about it;it's been dead a long time . like new jack said those guys would be entertaining in a pie fight. let'em keep on keepin on .we all gotta do what we gotta do/ if i found the dvd in a store i'd help'emout .i've done it before i'll do it again . it occured to me that i haven't given vince a dime since i stopped buying raw magazine .if people like the product they'll slide shane a few bucks if they don't they won't .; it's simple market forces

I would rather watch the old ECW guys when they are 80 years old and wrestling in walkers than 95% of the crap that the WWE and TNA are putting on. I hope Shane is able to make a go of this venture; God knows the world of wrestling needs it.

Yeah your right we need unprotected Chair Shots, a roster full of guys who really can't work, and overrated hasbeens trying to hold on to their glory. Love me some of that

i will piss of the grave of ecw

If they want to run reunion shows and people want to come and enjoy it why do you care ? This is put on by actual ECW guys. Most of them got ripped off of the money owed them for the original product. WWE has gone on to make money off ECW, TNA has tried. These guys aren't rolling in dough, let them make some bucks. I'd go to it if I closer. There is also a Fanfest going on at the same show.

First I care because 90% of the people who still support ECW likely never even watched ECW when it actually exsisted. As for the wrestlers they don't make money because no one gives a crap about them anymore. I mean seriously MOVE ON. ECW died in 2001 its now 2012 do you not find it a little sad that none of these guys can move on from that point in their lives?

Also most of though guys who are ripped off had OTHER chances other than ECW and fucked it up. Douglas says in his Youshoot he was offered a WWE contract while in WCW and didn't take it and this was after the way he's acted after 1995. Sabu got a WWE contract and resumed trying to get himself fired from basically that moment on whether it be not showing up on time, not showing up with his gear, The pot incident, hell Tommy Dreamer for example had a 9 year run of being employed by WWE and left because the way "ECW" was treated. If your willing to leave a 6 figure job because ECW being treated in WWE than you seriously need help

and Taso nothing says cool like mid 40 year olds trying to relive their mild glory days from 15 years ago

I don't see why it matters if people got into ECW before it was over or not. Can you only be a fan of a movie while it's in theaters?

Also, someone who didn't care would not have such strong opinions.

its matters bescause I'm sick of fans trying to piggy back off what ECW was and acting as if he was really there. I like World Class Champion Wrestling but guess what I will never know what it was like live and I do not claim to thats the difference. You like the product great but the ones who act as if they really know what ECW was like and never watched it during the time period are just kidding themselves.

People just need to move on or start a support group or something

You can argue ECW was bad for wrestling or that all the guys are older now. But to say they don't have a fan base still is just insanity. WWE is putting out another ECW dvd this year, TNA and WWE have done reunion shows, and this show is already sold out. People still care about ECW. You might not like it but that's just the case.

I was at an ECW show in 1998 at the War Memorial Auditorium in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. The fans were just more passionate about wrestling at that time. They actually gave a shit about the product. I think we were all more passionate about wrestling during those years.

I didn't say they didn't have a fanbase I said their fanbase consist of mostly people who never watched it when it was actually a real promotion and however now thinking about it I will say they are a shrinking fanbase. That TNA EV.20 or whatever the hell it was supposed to be called wasn't exactly a winner for TNA.

xt; i am a stones fan ; have been one all my life practically but the only part of their catalog that i truly respect came out before i was born or around the time of my birth . i don't really respect what they became i respect what they were . i went to see them for the first time long after what i consider their ''best before '' . i enjoyed myself none the less would i do it again no . does it hurt anyone that i did my best to recapture a time i couldn't be apart of . am i glad i got to see a version of the boys play ; even if not my perferred version .hell yeah . let these people have their fun it doesn't affect you . they know their not back in 94 and if they don't it shouldn't bother you

Yes it was. I hated it, and thought it was really poorly executed. But, it bumped the ratings and the PPV had more buys than they had in a long time. Maybe more than any since.
