ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) - Extreme Evolution (Uncensored) description
Some of the wildest action of Extreme Championship Wrestling, an organization that prides itself on being the cutting edge of professional wrestling, is contained in this extravaganza in which men (and even a few women) beat the hell out of each other with chairs, tables, barbed wire, and, you bet, even some wrestling moves. Such ECW luminaries as Rob Van Dam, Mike Awesome, and Tommy Dreamer appear in matches that certainly look far more brutal than the usual wrestling fare found in shows put on by the WWF or WCW. Billed as uncensored, the competitors on this video generally wind up bloody, which isn't too surprising considering how many steel folding chairs go zinging through the air. When Mike Awesome power bombs an opponent through a folding table, the energized crowd packed into the dingy ECW arena gleefully breaks into a resounding chant. The centerpiece of this video is the classic barbed-wire match fought in 1996 between ECW stars Sandman and the Raven. The barbed wire enclosing the ring soon becomes the weapon of choice, and both men are reduced to bleeding messes before several tables get smashed and the loser is the man rendered most senseless. You have been warned, this material isn't for everyone. But those who love ECW will be in chair-shot heaven. --Robert J. McNamara |

Crazy Stuff On This Tape
|
After being somewhat disappointed by ECW's debut on the Sci-Fi channel, I popped this old tape in my VCR to see something that wasn't filled with 30 minutes of lame skits.
The first match I saw was Jerry Lynn vs. Rob Van Dam. This is Jerry Lynn's most famous match I'm sure. He takes a nasty fall from the turnbuckle to the floor and lands right on his face, and he's out of it for a little while after that. Still manages to tough it out to put on an outstanding match loaded with unexpected reversals.
Next matchup is Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka. These guys had some of the best matches I've ever seen. Man, they can put on a show. This match was right up there with all their other ones. Tanaka tries a tornado DDT and gets it reversed into a spinebuster right on top of some steel chairs. Ouch. Tanaka superplexes Awesome through a table. Great. Awesome finally ends the match after powerbombing Tanaka from the top rope. Personally, this is my favorite match on the tape.
Next I see Raven fighting the Sandman in a barbed wire match. This is without a doubt one of the most violent matches I've ever seen, but then again, I don't watch Japanese wrestling too much. The Sandman looks pretty fat in this video, but he's definitely as crazy as ever. He throws himself around into tables quite well in this match. It gets my attention as well as the attention of Joey Styles. Both Raven and the Sandman cut themselves to bits. Blood everywhere. Crowd seems to like it. This is as real as wrestling gets right here. It sure ain't pretty, but it's definitely something to see.
Fourth match I see is a tag match and the only guys in the ring I remember are Saturn and Dr. Death. Dr. Death is pretty intense, and Saturn's hefty looking partner is surprisingly athletic. Saturn does an elbow drop from a scaffold and wins. I wonder what Saturn is up to these days.
Last match is a mixed tag match with Shane Douglas and Fancine against Tommy Dreamer and Beulah. This is a fun match to watch. Shane Douglas tries his best to make the crowd mad, and does a good job I think. Beulah does a moonsault and ends up getting the heck beat out of her. I was laughing through this whole darn thing.
Even though ECW was some sinful programming, this tape definitely delivers some excitement. Sometimes I wish wrestlers didn't put themselves through so much, because my enjoyment of the footage depicting their most painful moments makes me feel guilty. |
