ECW ECW ECW
The Pay-Per-View was awesome last night. Not to mention the fact that everyone was crying and weeping and "oh isn't this nostalgic!!" the wrestling was really good (mostly) and entertaining (ditto).
The only times I found myself disinterested were during the Extreme Luchadore match with Psychosis and Rey Mysterio, the Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit match, and RVD's promo. The luchadore match was just all around lacking in performance. Psychosis was a pansy or out of practice and barely did anything I would dub "extreme" after his sleeper hold and fist thingy off the apron the boooos were so loud that I was sure someone was literally going to shoot him. He finally did a crazy guillotine thing where Rey Mysterio was draped across the guard rail and he jumped off the ring onto him and flipped him over, but by then it was too late. On Rey Mysterio's part, all he did was his WWE stuff. I personally didnt want to see a 619 or a West Coast Pop and he was dressed in his regular attire. To me, it was like a bad match I had already seen before.
I got a similar feeling with the Eddie Guerrero/Chris Benoit match. Here are two guys (both currently in WWE) doing very unextreme things. No, I was not watching wrestling when ECW was alive, but that seemed to be something I would have seen on Smackdown! and not at such a special and unique Pay-Per-View.
As for the RVD promo. It was ho-hum. He spent way too long telling all of us how this was all his idea and "how great am I?" blah-blah-blah. The good part about it was that eventually it exploded into a Sabu/Rhino match. It was the first time I had ever heard anyone cheer for Rhino,,, ever. It was a great match too. Sabu is one crazy redneck...
Another great match was the cruiserweight match. I have to say, this one was my favorite. There was lots of flipping and doing of crazy shit in this match and thats just what I love to see. At one point Super Crazy jumped off a balcony into the crowd and the popped back up and continued the match.... very fun to see.
I really hope they bring it back as a full time gig, or even a once a year deal. It really has made wrestling interesting again. Not that Im not going to piss and moan tonight when RAW comes on, but still. I truly had fun watching wrestling and that hasnt happened in awhile.
