Guest Kane Fan Report post Posted November 5, 2003 So what do you all think of it? How many stars would you give it? (Is there a reason there was basically no selling?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JumpinJackFlash Report post Posted November 5, 2003 I loved that match. It had excellent wrestling with excellent crowd response. It just shows you that ECW didn't need to be hardcore to be great. Out of 5 stars, I would give it 4 1/2. I liked the speech afterwards, but some idiots kept interrupting Malenko, so I couldn't understand some of it. And I thought ECW fans were smart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted November 5, 2003 The match was very good but not as good as Hostile City Showdown...but any time Malenko and Guerrero get together, one should take notice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Holy Shit, I agree. I found some of the 2/3 falls lagged (though It's been a while since I watched it... hmm.. I should watch it again) and I was pretty disappointed in it given the hype. But HostileCity. was a fine piece of match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Real F'n Show Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Enter Sandman and Hostile Cuty Showdown were better but I'd still give this match 4 1/4 out of 5 stars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, it was their ONLY match in ECW that got ANY crowd heat. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Corino 1000 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 I loved both of there matches. They were great. But as Jumpink Jack Flash said some moron in the crowd kept screaming while Eddie, and Malenko were giving thier speech. I'd give **** and a half stars.

Well it was a fitting end to their run together, neither got the better of one another. Contrived was just a poor choice of words because all finishes in wrestling are contrived and pre-planned....minus a few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michrome 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2003 I thought it was ***1/4 Too short for a 2/3 falls match, and the HCS match was much better. Still, the crowd heat made it very enjoyable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coffin Surfer 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2003 I'm not a fan of the so called Malenko/Guerrero classics in ECW. Of the three that I've seen, Hostile City Showdown was probably the best, since Guerrero inserted himself much more and did his best to keep it from becoming a Malenko wrestling jerk off. Take for instance when they lose the crowd during the test of strength spot, Guerrero smartly cuts the sequence short and hits the Uranage Suplex to get the crowd's attention again. But still, you have stuff like the 2 minute top wristlock to remind you that this is a Dean Malenko match. It's not bad, but it is dull at times, and way short of greatness.
