Wrestling Thread (WWE, AEW, etc)

Finally watched this documentary today.

Talks about early days of ECW, how Shane Douglas shot a promo on NWA and spit and threw the belt down, and basically pissed on NWA history
Sabu not getting credit for ECW, how he was the 1st to use Tables on a regular basis

Some think Taz was full of it, not as tough as his gimmick. Also was a a*****e, until he got married.

RVD as most gifted wrestler in ECW and maybe ever, Lynn talking about the matches taking years off his life.

Styles about how he did the 1 man color commentator for the PPVs.

Raven about the Sandman crucifix angle, when Kurt Angle was in house, and was gonna sign with ECW, then signed with WWE, and Raven blasted Angle about how Angle didnt like the Crucifix angle, but ok for Taker to do to Austin months later.

How Terry Funk put everyone over, didn't care about being the top guy. Or how he turned down the One Night Stand 2005 PPV.

How Shane Douglas and Francine dont talk anymore. Haven't since the 90's.

Heyman not paying the wrestlers, yet Toronto show sold out, and so did merchandise, yet the guys/gals didnt get any $$$

The Mole thing

How Mike Awesome left ECW for WCW, and Bischoff wanted him to throw the ECW title down, but he wouldn't.

The biggest thing that hurt The Blue Meanie was when Stevie Richards left for WCW as it was without notice.

Terry Taylor said he did steal the Taz/Bam Bam Bigelow storyline where Taz superplexed him threw the stage, and WWE had Show do that to Taker, to give Show a big pop type thing, like a WOW.

Good stuff. Also Sabu getting fired by Heyman, when Sabu was working full time in Japan, and ECW was 1 time a month, and Heyman was pissed so he fired Sabu.

Guys like Dreamer don't get credit for the heart and sole of ECW, or New Jack has vision in only his left eye.

Guys like Dreamer, Heyman, RVD, Dudleys, Taz, Stevie Richards, weren't on camera, as they were in WWE. Good stuff. Good 2 hours, worth the time. Better than anything WWE has put out on ECW. Maybe as good as Rise and Fall of ECW.

the netflix stuff was pretty cool too. You have to search under ECW doe. Not WWE.

There's also alot of good youtube vids that are just a forum of dudes talking wrestling and the backstage stuff.
There's one with JR , Nash, my favorite promo guy of all time,Micheal P.S. Hayes and I think Flair all talking wrestling.

Nash said that Goldberg was supposed to get a bat,hit the car window with it and break it. Nash said that Big bad Goldberg had to be mr powerman and use his bare hands to break the window. Goldberg , their main eventer and inked in as the top guy for the next coming months,breaks the window, with his hand, cuts tendons and is out for months.
