I almost went to that show. Glad I didn't make the 2 and a half hours drive.

How about we appreciate the first ECW Championship reign of Bobby Lashley! That started at that PPV.

There was never a truer tag-line.

Oh man, I remember reading about the fallout from this show. Crazy to think it's been 7 years already.

There is no way that was 7 years ago. I know how Link felt in the second half of Ocarina of Time now. I love that poster.

More shaking my head sadly - but never say never in wrestling, I thought that would be the last time "Uncle Paul" would be in WWE....

I wasn't watching at the time (taking a break for college for a few years) but I remember seeing that there was an ECW PPV on my dorm room's preview channel and considered being nostalgic for a night. I opted to finish an essay for a final instead.
When I finished, I curiously hit the forums for the first time in years to read the results and hear who was there. The response was one of the most overwhelming negative nights of pain I've ever read. The next night I had a rap battle, and after it came back at about three in the morning to read if that initial shock just kept things overblown. Hearing about Paul Heyman leaving Titan Towers and the backlash to it was almost surreal. I didn't return to watching for another six months.
Always been curious about the show.

Still better than Battleground. Battleground at least had that kick-ass Rhodes Brothers vs. The Shield match.

I've never seen such a colossal lack of understanding of what the fans want. A PPV match with Balls Mahoney in which Mahoney wasn't allowed to use any weapons or even come off the top rope, as if deliberately trying to expose his weaknesses. Sabu taken out of the match at the last second (although I have a vague memory that that was for a legitimate reason) and replaced with HARDCORE SHITTING HOLLY of all people. Eliminating Punk and RVD early, despite them being the clear favourites. And putting the title on a musclehead with a girl's voice when he wouldn't have lasted a day in the original ECW.
I did like Test starting to get over as a main event, dickhead heel though. I loved Test's ECW run.

Still better than Battleground. Hell no. Battleground was pretty bad, but it was nowhere near the apocalyptic level of fail that DtD was.
