Just watched Hardcore Homecoming

[AboveAverage484]

I watched Hardcore Homecoming this weekend, and I do believe that it sucked balls. I hate to be so negative, but I think this was the definition of "quick buck." The "wrestling" was bad, the "brawling" was even worse, and the whole show seemed even more cheap and garbagey than the original ECW. I've seen better wrestling here at the local gymnasium and better brawls in a school bathroom. I was so afraid Scorpio was gonna die trying the 450 splash. Funk almost died falling through that shitty ladder. You'd think if they were gonna have a 60 year old man climb a ladder they'd at least be able to find one that wasn't duck taped together. Go to fucking Home Depot and shell out 40 bucks.

 

I would feel different if I was actually there, because that is where this program comes off as special or meaningful, but watching it on DVD just seemed like 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.

 

The extras were even worse. Lynn/Juvi was almost passable, but Douglas and Funk from XPW was the biggest bunch of horseshit I've ever seen. In their obsession with having everything be "hardcore" Funk gouges his arm trying to bust a bottle and turns a train wreck match into something even worse. And there are people out there who actually enjoy XPW and this kind of shit?

 

Sure it was nostalgic at times and the "hardcore legends" tribute was pretty cool but this was a shell of ECW. Leave it in its grave and let it rest in peace.

 

Gotta love Smothers' dancing though

I agree. It didn't help that all the sound editing they had to do really killed the passion that was in the room that night. I don't blame ECW fans for feeling good about the night overall. It's just that the DVD itself leaves alot to be desired.

I didn't really notice the ECW chants haven been taken out. I actually thought I heard them chanting it. That split screen shit got on my nerves especially when they were essentially showing the same thing on each screen!

Yeah, I really wasn't impressed either. The first few matches just sort of breezed past. Sandman/Raven was a let down like I knew it would be but hoped I was wrong. The Main event was nothing special.

 

The only match that really delivered was Lynn/Credible. Even ONS was better...and I didn't really like that either.

 

And I didn't even get any extra dodgy bonus matches :'(
