Great PPV, 28 Oct 2001

The six-man tag was long but very entertaining with wrestling that will have you left in amazement and leave your eyes spinning.

The TV title match was next and Douglas versus Pitbull #2 just didnt work even with the grudge match style feel to it due to Douglas having broken Pitbulls #1 neck recently in that era. Look out for Rick Rude making an appearance!

Taz versus Sabu was just awesome wrestling which is the kind of action that will make you wonder why these two arent mixing it up in the WWF right now or why Tazz is a job boy & where the hell is Sabuu right now? (XPW???). A nice twist in the match as well.

Even though everyone was raving on about the semi-main event pitting Funk v Sandman v Richards, I didnt find it as exciting as other people have made it out to be. It was slow paced which made it seem even slower when the viewer had got used to the nights earlier matches. However the solid was good and solid even if Funk did land the dodgiest looking moonsault of ALL TIME & GETTING THE PIN!

The winner of the 3-way dance fought Raven in the main event for the World title.

Overall a great debut PPV. Just remember NOT TO LOOK AT THE BACK OF THE COVER AS THE WRESTLER OF THE 3-WAY DANCE IS GIVEN AWAY!!???!!!

Definately worth buying.

ECW Barely Legal: THIS IS EXTREME!, 16 Mar 2002

The tape is loaded with lots of action-packed matches, the best being Tazz vs Sabu. This is a fine effort from both men. We also get to see a much younger, rookie-like Lance Storm in a stunning match with Rob Van Dam, who is yet to develop his "R-V-D" thumb characteristic and his "Whole F'N Show" moniker. The main event is a crimson-drenched hardcore brawl between then ECW World Champion Raven and Terry Funk. Barbed wire, solid trash cans and tables are all used in an entertaining off-the-rails riot that is the epitome of "Extreme wrestling".

The only minor bad points with the show is the over-long brawl between The Franchise and Pitbull 2, and the fact that The Dudley Boyz get a one-sided pasting from The Eliminators. But over all, this is ECW at it's most extreme and best.
