This was not a good show. I feel like if Zane reviews more of ECW 2000 you'll find that is the case more often than not. Sure there were some good spots too but 2000's ECW was very much like watching a toddler on a sugar rush run around the room until they dropped |

I would make a joke about THAT New Jack spot but I don’t want him coming after me!

Obvious loads of ECW was great, but throughout its existence every Van Dam vs. Lynn or Malenko vs. Guerrero was offset by about five chaotic clusterf***s that have very little rewatch value. |

I know that times were different back than With head injuries and all and it wasn’t WWE where this spot happened, but if that spot happened in WWE today (Obviously WWE would be Tv14 rated and not TVPG) and one of their wrestlers got permanent brain damage, wouldn’t they force them to retire? |

I'm astounded you feel the need to ask this question. WWE has forced people to retire with much smaller injuries than New Jack had and that's not even considering that he literally stopped being able to see out of one eye. |

A PPV that is remembered for precisely one moment. I really wish I could sympathize with him over the injury and maybe the injury is partially responsible for him being so much more f***ed up and dangerous afterwards, but the man was utter scum.

WWE brought him in for a tryout match in 2005. I say "brought him in for a tryout match" instead of "gave him a tryout match" because they changed their mind after seeing him do some pre-show rehearsal work with Val Venis, thought he was the shizzling drits and didn't let the actual tryout dark match occur. |

This PPV was the beginning of the end for ECW really. The original main event was supposed to be Awesome vs. RVD but RVD broke his leg a few weeks before it. As such Awesome had a nothing 5 minute match with Kid Kash and most of the show was built around the TV title tourney.
That 2005 New Jack story is amusing. Who would put him in the ring for a standard match with anyone and expect it to be good? He wasn't exactly known for his scientific skills.
