The current WWF champs were as follows:

European Champion: Davey Boy Smith (3/3/1997)
World Tag Team Champions: Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith (9/22/1996)

Explosions are happening inside of a warehouse! Reflections of WWF superstars are seen on walls! People are fighting each other! IS THAT EVIL MARILYN MANSON MUSIC I HEAR? It must be the debut of RAW is WAR.

A tougher-looking show was just the thing the WWF needed at the time. We see pyro, we see the debut of the giant Titan Tron, and we see the steel rampway. All this change and yet we still have the same old red-white-blue colored ring. They may now have Attitude, but Vince is still totally 100% American. Those colors don’t run, ya know.

Your hosts are Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, and Jerry Lawler. Read the rest of this entry

Side note: I want to thank Justin and Scott for being extra punctual with their writing and putting forth the quality effort that they always do. I completely dropped the ball and had an ultra busy week which explains why the post is a day late. But anyways, it’s here and hopefully a fun read for everybody. Read the rest of this entry

The Rise and Fall of ECW — Disc One

The_Rise_and_Fall_Of_ECW

The Rise and Fall of ECW — Disc One
Released by WWF: November 16, 2004

Matt’s review of The Rise and Fall of WCW inspired me to do more of a play-by-play review for the documentary instead of the three paragraphs I had previously. Sort of an abridged ECW history according to this WWE-produced release. While the WCW documentary goes only about 90 minutes, the much shorter history of ECW is given almost a whopping three hours! No justice, right, WCW fans? Read the rest of this entry

The Rise and Fall of ECW

The Rise and Fall of ECW — Disc Two
Released by WWE: November 16, 2004

Let’s just get the extras out of the way first: Tazz talks about starting in the WWF and how he felt about ECW after he left. Chris Jericho tells some stories about dealing with Heyman’s last-minute travel agent routine. And Stevie Richards talks about leaving ECW and asks for Heyman’s blessing. They’re short, but interesting and/or funny. Read the rest of this entry
