Stop, stop it's already dead etc

I'm struggling to think of a dead horse that's been beaten as much as ECW.

I wonder what exists more, actual footage of ECW or footage of people talking about ECW.

I haven’t watched every episode but I enjoy the ones I have. Lots of good stories and they have some guys you don’t hear from a lot like JT Smith

I'm sure Revival or Tribute Show footage is starting to get up there in hours as well.

I thought any interest about ECW finally died after Shane Douglas put up that embarrassing show.

It's funny to hear Mike Johnson talk about these after filming. Usually guys not showing up or showing up late causing them to shuffle stuff. He's also talked about/wondered how much more ECW can be discussed which is why he goes after people that don't get a lot of shoots or podcast invite or things/people like Tod Gordon or working the final show in Arkansas.

Seriously. I attended Extreme Reunion. The only reunion I wanted after that show was to be reunited with the money I spent on my ticket.

Yeah it was depressing watching Barbed Wire City's end, when the original ecw fans that quit watching wrestling returned only to see Shane Douglas taking a shit in the ring. Or Sandman running out of air just in his entrance.

House Of Hardcore seems to be putting on decent cards, run by an actual original. Maybe let ECW rest in piece, yeah?

I recall tommy wanting to use newer guys and not rehash ECW, but its turned into that on some level. Or, Tommy just using various friends in the business to give them a check. I wish it was something better.

I know that's metaphorical, but I would not be surprised at Shane Douglas actually defecating in the ring.

Well he actually threw up during a match in tna so him shitting his pants isn't out of the question.

That match he had with Raven in tna was a tragedy. Shane was so old and fat that he ran out of breath in about five minutes, Raven had to carry his ass through the match and Douglas looked like he was about to die. I realized then that The Franchise was dead that he should retire.

Mind you that match was around 2003, now imagine how shit he was during Extreme Reunion.
