ECW: Unreleased Vol. 2
ECW: Unreleased Vol. 2
Released: July 30, 2013
This review is for the 3-disc DVD version, not the 2-disc blu-ray that contains some extra matches.
Joey Styles and Tommy Dreamer are your hosts. They show up every three matches or so, and they basically put people over and don’t take anything too seriously. There are some bits of footage here and there while they talk, which adds a nice touch. Also, many of these matches are proceeded by the full promos that went along with them when they originally aired, so that’s cool too. Read the rest of this entry
