Moderators PowerButchi Posted May 20, 2015 Moderators Posted May 20, 2015 The FBI were amazing though weren't they? Guido and the always fantastic Tracy Smothers were a superb team, super fun act, and Tommy Rich was absolutely cracking as their manager. Quote
dopper Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Yeah, I watched WrestlePalooza 1997 again at the weekend and they were a lot of fun against the Pitbulls. At one point Tommy Rich got pissed off at the referee so ripped off his jacket and shirt in a rage while yelling at that official. The crowd immediately burst into a chant of "YOU FAT FUCK!" and within 2 minutes he had put the jacket back on. Almost every stable ECW ever had, right up to the end, all had memorable moments. In those final days I was getting a kick out of seeing Hot Commodity, the new FBI, Diamond/Swinger/Anderson, etc. Quote
Liam O'Rourke Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 One thing I was especially not a fan of, by design but regardless, was Simon Diamond's horrific entourage. Will never forget this parade of losers sauntering out and my casual fan cousin writing off ECW forever on that first impression. Quote
Paid Members mim731 Posted May 20, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 20, 2015 Ah yes, The Musketeer, that was not one of the better moments in ECW history. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I only have the PPVs for ECW, so the TV is something I'm a bit ropey on. What were The Dust Brothers about. I only saw them once were they're putting the boots to someone on Guilty As Charged 2000 and never heard of them again Quote
Jizzlobber Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I've been thinking of going back and watching Hardcore TV from the beginning in '93, as there's a lot of stuff I haven't seen from those first couple of years. Might have to bump it up my list of priorities to coincide with this thread. Surfer Sandman and all that shit. Quote
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 20, 2015 Author Paid Members Posted May 20, 2015 TNA was entourage city. Everyone had about 8 people walking them to the ring. When Justin Credible debuted he had a female bodyguard, a valet and a manager. Jason Knight, Chastity and Nicole Bass just hung around not doing much during matches. I like a good entourage, dont get me wrong. I think everyone likes a wrestler who has a load of different faces hanging around him. Quote
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 20, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) You're not wrong Ian. Even at the last show Simon Diamond and Johnny fucking Swinger of all people were accompanied to the ring by Dawn Marie, a slim Blue Meanie and Jasmin St. Claire. Two blokes I always hated in ECW were Jason Knight and Jack Victory. Both fucking useless and terrible. I always had a lot of time for Justin Credible though. Looking back I'm not sure why as he was fairly rubbish and nondescript. I think it was his cutoff jeans and awesome entrance music that did it for me though. Three ECW shows that still hold up well to this day are Heatwave '98, Anarchy Rulz '99 and Guilty As Charged 2000. The rest not so much. Edited May 20, 2015 by LaGoosh Quote
Syl Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 This thread has led to me searching loads of ECW related stuff on Youtube. I have just watched the trailer for Balls Mahoney's YouShoot. It looks hilarious: https://youtu.be/SnO7IIZgvrg Quote
