Amazing that this thread has not been unsticked yet. I have not seen the event but I'm hangin for the DVD. I'm hoping as a Special Feature it will contain the WWE vs ECW show. I'm contemplating getting the DVD also, though not 100% sure yet.

Just saw it last night.
Taz/Lawler was perfect for what it was.
Angle/Orton was really good- Orton turning a chinlock into a weird backbreaker move was pretty cool, and the reversals and stuff were great. I enjoyed it a lot more than any other post-Foley Orton match I've seen.
The FBI/Tajiri and Crazy match was decent, if not spectacular. A bunch of unusual moves in there (that crucifix/armbar thingummy for one), and Nunzio actually looking motivated!
Rey/Sabu was a wacky spotfest, as it should have been, and an enjoyable one at that. That finish was insane.
The 6-man was really slow, really long and had no psychology, but it's hard to care too much when everyone's covered in barbed wire and there's fire. I find it hard to care about Dreamer, though.
Balls v Tanaka was there. Is Balls in disguise as Raven or something?
Wasn't too sure about the Eugene segment- yes it's a stupid WWE gimmick being destroyed by Sandman, but it's still a drunk beating up a retard.
The title match was stupendously hot in terms of crowd reaction, and also turned out a pretty good match. Decent enough effort by both men, and we popped like hell in the house I was watching it when RVD won. Hey, Van Dam, Edge AND Mysterio all win the title in the same year? And RVD-Edge at Vengeance? Man, I think I can live with that.
All in all, pretty wicked- best show of the year (although I enjoyed Wrestlemania as well) and reminded me how much FUN televised wrestling can be.

I do not want this thread unstickied. It is still a good one to talk ECW and all its crap shows including One Night Stand 2: The Mistake. I say buy the DVD only if they include Barely Legal and you do not already own Barely Legal. This show and the WWF / ECW special alone are too weak for the price.

Uh, who's wrong, and why? I think the troll was saying I was wrong because I do not mark out for McMahon / Cena Brother White Guy.

I know you hate me now, but the truth had to come out (like Orlando Jordan did). I consider 2 word off topic posts to be trolling in my opinion I did not pay $40 for this pay per view and am glad I did not. It was a decent show due to the crowd, but nothing Earth shattering. I said I may buy the DVD if it is reasonably priced and they give me Barely Legal with it for free, as has been rumored.
