I'm picky with my watching but 90% of the stuff answered has been known for years, which wouldn't be so bad but Joey Styles pulling his 'interesting/I can't understand how you did that!' expression is really annoying. Then again I suppose my rose tinted goggles over Styles slipping over the last 10 years have made me realize he's not all that unless he's doing written work for the WWE website.
I did like when the actual questions were asked from fans, but eh, nothing too interesting. Plus nothing will make me laugh more than the claim that people never knew Austin promoed/wrestled in ECW. Despite it being mentioned a thousand times in the WWE on various DVDs/in promos etc. To be honest they could have just put up The Rise & Fall of ECW and it would have done a much better show given it provides context for everything instead of going 'anyway, Paul, let's talk about *unrelated segue*'.
WWE Network content is really odd in its lack of quality. When Legends House was the best original program and it's been slipping since it's a bit disappointing.

I thought it was painfully over produced, much like most WWE content. It was more of an introduction piece to brand new wrestling fans.

I thought it was painfully over produced, much like most WWE content. It was more of an introduction piece to brand new wrestling fans. I cringed when the Cena topic came up and both Heyman/Styles went into semi-kayfabe, 'uh-oh, Brock won't like you saying that!' That entire vibe is embarrassing after a discussion of how Pencil = Booker = writer of the show a few minutes earlier. Just feels weak and completely against what the show was meant to be, needless overproduction without any real flow/sense.

I completely enjoyed it. No, didn't break much new ground that I hadn't heard but they can't assume everyone knew everything about ECW.
If they assumed that, 90 percent of their non-PPV DVDs and such would never be made.

According to Paul E. on his Facebook account, they filmed at least 30 more minutes of him answering fan questions. It did seem like it cut off rather abruptly.

Really enjoyed it, to be honest. Wish we could have got more questions.

Very surprised he didn't mention Wyatt, Harper, or any of the Shield guys. Yep my first thought was DEAN AMBROSE in regards to guys who would do well in ECW.

Heyman reveals that he almost had Kobashi vs Misawa at the Heat Wave 98 PPV I'm not sure what the reaction is supposed to mean but one of the questions that was asked was about what other international talent Heyman wishes he brought in. He mentioned that he wanted both men and it was VERY close to happening but negotiations fell through so he wound up going with the RVD/Sabu vs Hayabusa/Shinzaki match.

Although it sounded interesting, Kobashi/Misawa in ECW? Lolno. I'm sure it would have been amazing though.

Doubt that match was close to happening TBH, read on another board (for this topic) that Kobashi was on the injured list that summer.

So where's this part 2 then?
Doesn't seem to be on the on demand
Nevermind found it by looking at todays schedule and playing it from there, it's not archived in on demand though.
also the question section of part 1 felt to me like Heyman was on trial a bit and answering common myths about himself and ECW with his side of things.

Part 2 was way better. Heyman was far more loose and the questions were better.

Damn, I don't know if Heyman's got the date correct or being entirely honest but if they'd have had Misawa/Kobashi at Heatwave 98 I could have seen it live. I don't know if I would have appreciated it at the time but that's something I would proudly reflect upon today.
