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

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

And now we come to Night of Champions, where all the gold is on the line.  That’s good for some of the lesser belts like the Divas and Tag Team which don’t make it to PPV all that often, but if they really want all these Titles to mean something they’ve got to do a lot more then that.  Let’s get right to it.
