Hardcore Homecoming

[geniusMoment]

The main event for Hardcore Homecoming is scheduled to be:

Terry Funk vs. Sabu vs. Shane Douglas in a triple threat match according to Meltzer.

 

 

That may be the worst match ever. Sabu was done before his recent medical problems, Funk is way too old, and Douglas is not good enough to carry them.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Only $50 a ticket.

I'm guessing Shane Douglas' reunion show will be based more off nostalgia and WWE's more on in-ring product. As far as the announced main-event, it will be a terrible match but for fans who were at the ECW Arena when those three fought in the first ever three-way dance, it should be something special.

[Cuban Linx]

Is Sabu even in any condition to wrestle? Funk's hardly the poster child for physical health either, there's bound to be a ton of run in's and various distractions to cover up the many, many limitations of all involved.

theyre just doing that as a throwback to their famous first 3 way match back in when was it 94? The dvd covered that a bit. oh wait was it those three in the match? im drawing a blank now.

[Brocklock]

But, what's the point of doing another throwback to that match, since they already had a Triple Threat rematch at Hardcore Heaven 97. This match is just going to be horrid.

[Guest jobsquad]

well the reason is to get the ecw nostalgia marks to shell out 50 bucks for a train wreck of a show.

[Guest Shadow]

I'll take the 21 bucks the WWE version's dvd will be over Shane Douglas's 50 bucks a ticket product.

 

WWE will likely have Benoit/Jericho/Eddy/Melenko/Storm/Credible combo, Psicosis/Mysterio, Crazy/Nunzio/Tajiri.

 

Quality wrestling > Stupid fake nostalgia

[Ravenbomb]

Will Kimona Wanalaya (I probably mangled the spelling there, but whatever) strip again?

[JustJoe2k5]

I want to know if New Jack will go apeshit on another inexperienced worker again, just like the good ole' times.

They just announced the semi main event match of Raven vs. The Sandman.

 

Funk/Sabu/Douglas

Raven/Sandman

 

They really need to bring in some of the workrate guys to make sure the undercard makes up for the main events.

[Some Guy]

Not really, if they did that it wouldn't really be an ECW show. What they need is four more matches that have cheese graters, barbed wire bats, shopping carts, and Nintendos and one match with two very overrated workers who will put on a gymnastics display that the mutants will clap for before having a sloppy spotfest.

 

For the most part that is what ECW was. I enjoyed the product at one pint but I doubt I'd waste my time on it now. That said I have enough found mark memories to pick up WWE's show when it hits DVD for $15 at Walmart.

Dude, you're about to anger many.

[Kardo]

You have to remember for the ECW show to create feuds but never ever blow them off. Just let them continue endlessly.

Why, for telling the truth?

 

I enjoyed ECW for time and enjoyed it for what it was, sloppy spotfests, make believe 5 Star matches, great promo work from Taz, Buh Buh, Douglas, and a few others, and generally good booking. That fact that Heymen has managed to convince so many people that RVD is a great worker (he is entertaining but not a great worker by any stretch of the imagination) is a testament to how good a booker he is.
