From the time ECW started, I wasn't quite keen to watch it. The first time I had seen, I had felt really weird. Wrestlers from RAW and Smackdown were transferred to fight here. That meant the same thing as watching RAW and Smackdown. Though it is supposed to be hardcore, I didn't find it that ' hardcore' at all. Beating with steel chairs etc. is so common even in RAW and Smackdown. The later episodes too weren't that good at all. Wrestlers like CM Punk and John Morrison, who were only shown capturing Intercontinental or sometimes US championship are shown here as the main attractions, winning the world heavy weight titles. I ain't so gullible to believe that Johnny Nitro, who was even defeated by Brian Kendrik and Paul London is capable of becoming the world heavy weight champion in ECW. There is no good or interesting story line, but is dumbed down by showing so called ' vampires' and what not. And the worst thing is that ECW thinks that the viewers are blind or are forgetful. It is so easy to tell who ' Big Daddy V' is. Then too, many of the viewers are shocked to see the large man, as though they have never seen him before. LAdies in ECW are useless. There are no titles for them. THeir job is to just expose, expose and expose. And a last thing, I did not understand why the ECW organizers don't keep more than one title to fight for. 4 out of ten, four because it is still a part of WWE.
The new ECW is not the same as the old ECW anyone with brains would know that the new ECW is just another WWE brand where there are mostly WWE superstars with about only 1 ECW original. Tommy Dreamer is the only ECW original left on the show, WWE released Sabu, and Sandman has been dragged to RAW where he is in bad shape and bound to be released soon. ECW is carried right now on the backs of two people, most of the fans are C M Punk fans and Tommy Dreamer fans and some are just original ECW fans. Without C M Punk on the show ECW would be cancelled so nobody can really judge this ECW when you really think about it because its not ECW its just an added brand to WWE and its like saying you hate WWE all together when you hate ECW because most of the stars on the show are former WWE stars.WWE One Night Stand 2007 (Extreme Rules) This event was really built on a lot of hype except for maybe one or two matches all the matches here interested me as a fan and I told myself probably like everyone else I just had to buy this event. A lot of the matches lived up to what I expected the ladder match which was the best match on the card in my opinion is the one to watch. But some things did have me feel like I wasted my money there was a lame lumberjack match, a lame stretcher match, and a lame falls count anywhere match. Everything else lived up to what it was supposed to be though. I recommend this event on DVD just for something if you are willing to have a good time sit back and watch people get bashed with weapons and other objects. It was not the greatest but some matches where worth watching thats why I give it a 6 out of 10.
I have a problem with today's ECW. I think they should just call it "CW" because there's no extreme. One Night Stand features all extreme matches. I think this is good for WWE because they need all the help they can get lately. I watched this PPV expecting the worst (I always set my standards low so I'm never disappointed). What I got was a pretty decent PPV. However, if you compare it to the previous One Night Stand events, it doesn't STAND out. (main reason being that they didn't have it in the same building) The only person who bled was Sandman.....and that was when he bashed the beer can on his forehead during his entrance.(RANDY ORTON vs RVD) (STRETCHER MATCH) Worst stretcher match I've seen. Do me a favor, watch the stretcher match between RVD and Sabu from years ago and compare it to this one. You'll see my point. Pathetic match with a pathetic ending.....and way too short. As predicted, Orton gave RVD a concussion sending him to the ER.(HARDYZ vs WORLD'S GREATEST TAG-TEAM) (LADDER MATCH) They should stop calling them the "world's greatest tag-team". It's obvious they can't win a match. None the less, this was my favorite match of the night. Lots of sick bumps (and screw-ups). Great effort from both teams. Shelton Benjamin is championship material in my opinion. Both teams fought backstage.(MARK HENRY vs KANE) (LUMBERJACK MATCH) OK....the lumberjacks served no purpose whatsoever because they were to scared to even touch Henry and Kane (and who'd blame em). This was the worst match of the night, but I guess when you put two boring wrestlers in the ring together...then that's what you get. I like to call Henry "Molasses Mark" because that's how slow he moves in the ring. Why is he still in the WWE?(MELINA vs CANDICE) (PUDDING MATCH) Nothing to discuss. Just another eye-candy match for the fans. Simply pathetic and a waste of time. I think the problem with today's WWE divas is that it's more about looks than actual wrestling skill. I miss Trish, Jazz, Molly Holly, Jacquline....you know....the good ones.(EDGE vs BATISTA) (CAGE MATCH) Not being a big fan of seeing Batista in cage matches (or seeing Batista...PERIOD), this one was pretty fair. Edge carried most of the match. The ending of the match was my favorite part due to the humor I find in adult temper-tantrums. (LASHLEY vs MR. MCMAHON) (STREET FIGHT) Wonderful match (carried mostly by Shane O'Mac). Lashley has definitely improved his in-ring skill since his first arrival in WWE. Next to the Ladder Match, this one was the best of the night.(JOHN CENA vs THE GREAT KHALI) (FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE) Let me start by saying that Khali has yet to entertain me in a match. I'm sorry, but Khali is a sorry excuse for a wrestler. Decent match. Could have been better. Definitely Cena's toughest challenge to date. And for once, the fans didn't boo him out of the arena.I give this PPV a 5 out of 10.
