I liked The Smoking Gunns...Mr. Ass was good for the attitude era time sake...after the attitude era was over Billy became a midcarder and was released. In TNA Billy Gunn sucked!

Is there a verison where I can get a late 80s/early 90s roster? Google EWR Scenarios...you can get them easily.

Abdullah is a legend. I've never heard bad things about him, and its great that hes wrestling at 73. Maybe the reporter was not aware of his legendary status..

WCW was great in 1995...with talent like Sting, Flair, Hogan, Luger, Savage, Pillman etc..they had a world class roster. I really liked the WCW product because it was something fresh and a true alternative when Nitro debuted on TNT.

Do you remember when rumors were circulating on the internet saying Hulk Hogan is going to start a big wrestling promotion to challenge Vince McMahon...this is after the XWF went bankrupt.

Tommy Dreamer is the Al Bundy of wrestling. He's always want to relive his glory days in ECW. He's wants to talk about his Singapore canes shots he took from the Sandman. He loves to mention his numerous injuries he got from going hardcore. Without ECW, Tommy has no identity. He never tried to reinvent himself outside the time he was doing Jackass stunts on Raw. Dreamer uses the hardcore style to work matches and hide his fallacies. He will never be able to let ECW go because that's the only legacy he has in wrestling. One flaw. Al Bundy had charisma. So true...I always thought that Tommy Dreamer took a lot of pride in being the face of mainstream hardcore wrestling in North America. Except being a hardcore ECW icon, Dreamer has absolutely not identity.

They have it already, it's called ECW* *for legal purposes it's not called ECWWHAT IS WCE DOING IN THE IMPACT ZONE! I think this is a way for TNA to get WWE's attention...WWE's legal department is going to sue TNA if they keep on saying ECW on TNA programming.

The wrestlers graphics look like character selection screen from ECW Hardcore Revolution video game.

Yeah. I'm a sucker for nostalgia... I'm excited. Me too.......I actually loved Dreamer's promo...I think it come of well as he made a point about TNA Hardcore Justice being an authentic ECW reunion..

You never know really. He turned down WCW in the 90's just because he loved ECW so much. WCW or WWF would have screwed up Tommy Dreamer by making him a cannon fodder to midcarders...he was a good brawler and decent on the mic. I believe he knew that ECW was the only place he would feel like somebody and thats the reason he never left....

I'd have to say my dad. He was an NWA/WCW purist. Sure, he watched WWF but only because they had TWO guys he liked. Kane and UT. That's it. We were watching Nitro(and recording Raw, as per usual) and something happened, maybe the Flair's baby daddy stuff or Judy Bagwell stuff, but I KNOW it was asinine. He said, and I quote: "Oh, come on. This is f***ing bulls***. When are they gonna WRESTLE?" So true, while the WWF did have a lot of storylines during Vince Russo's stint...they had very good wrestling going on with a helluva talented guys on the roster. When Russo came in to WCW the "shoot interviews" and "insider" term usage became so common that it became boring...the segments were stupid as s*** and matches were very short like 3 minute main event matches etc....

Rellik was above average in the ring, and had a good look. I think his momentum was ruined because they paired him with Black Reign/Silver Dust or whatever his name was when TNA was trying to tweak the Goldust character. I've seen Johnny The Bull's matches with Great Muta and he was awesome in the role as the Muta impersonator. I think his ring skills were great in Japan. Rellik is 89 over in my EWR game ;D...

Lacey Von Erich looks damn hot...she looks more of a model than a wrestler. Maybe she should be Lacey "The Model" Von Erich.

In all seriousness, TNA should consider running events in India. WWE hasn't been there since 2002 and there's a tremendous market for the product there. TNA has many stars from the attitude era which majority of the Asians know and admire. They can actually focus on the market there and be number one in Asia eventhough they are number 2 in North America. They sent Jay Lethal to India because they have big plans for him..I love Lethal and I really want him to become a world champ some day.

People in India are very appreciative of entertainers coming to see them. They are a very kind a respectful people. I went there one time for business and they are HUGE into wrestling in that area of the world. Tons of pirated shirts and DVDs. I was in a market and laughed my ass off with my friend looking at a "John Sena" DVD a guy was trying to sell. Spot on dude. I stay in Mumbai, India and people actually love pro wrestling. TNA is huge in India, they should capitalize on it.

Sean O'Haire was great when he debuted in WCW...he had a legit badass look and a good finisher in the Seanton bomb. I think WCW underused him, WWE had a lot of talented guys during O'Haire's time in the company.I liked his association with Roddy Piper and thought that the WWE had big plans for him as he was going to feud with Hulk Hogan.

XPW ripping of ECW's logo as well as the announcer Kriss Kloss was a Joey Styles wannabe.
