The rise and fall and recreation and cancellation of ECW dvd


Should The Rise and Fall of ECW DVD be done again with a 2006-2010 chapter added? After all, the ScyFy version of ECW did get it's lineage from the original ECW. I think the Rise and Fall of ECW dvd should be redone to include the One Night Stand Shows from 2005 and 2006 and how they lead to the revival of ECW.

Those who refer to work as the highlight of their lives obviously don't have one.

I don't think Vince would pay to make a DVD chronicling how he messed up ECW and if the story were told any different, it would be worthless anyway.

Agreed. But here is something I have envisioned for many years. It could rock!:

If it would be at all possible, TNA should have something where their contracted talent (especially original and WWE ECW guys) and anyone else they can get, talk about WWE/ECW as part of the new Monday Night Wars. They can wait until Tommy Dreamer arrives (if those rumors are true) and include him. I'm sure the ones who were in WWE may have some positive things to say as well as negative, especially if they don't want to risk burning their bridges with WWE. But those who were never in WWE ECW like Team 3D and Rhino would probably completely trash it.

The first thing to consider might be whether they could legally release it as a DVD, using the WWE and ECW names. Maybe instead of WWE they can say "McMahon's promotion" or McMahonland and instead of WWE ECW they can simply call it "Vince's ECW". If they can't legally use the name ECW on a DVD at all, maybe they can use the labels "Heyman's extreme vision (or version)" and "Vince's 'extreme' version"

But it could just be a TV special if Spike would grant the time. TNA talent freely says "WWE and "ECW" on the air all the time. It could also be a feature on their website.

I think everyone who comments in this presentation should give their thoughts about the original ECW and WWE ECW, and not hold anything back. Here's all the people they have who could comment:

Tazz
RVD
Team 3D aka the Dudleyz
Brother Runt aka Spike Dudley
Rhino
Tommy Dreamer (?)
The Pope aka Elijah Burke
Dr. Stevie aka Stevie Richards
Raven
Shannon Moore (I think he was in WWE ECW)
Scott Hall (had a run in original ECW)
Kurt Angle
Mick Foley

Others they should contact about contributing:

Paul Heyman
Monty Brown aka Marquis Corvon
Kevin Thorn
Salinas aka Ariel
Shelton Benjamin (as soon as legal ties with WWE are all cut)
Francine Fournier
Justin Credible
Sabu (if he'll talk)
Lance Storm (if he'll co-operate)
Ballz Mahoney
Axl Rotten
Sandman
Nunzio aka Little Guido
Danny Doring
Roadkill
Dawn Marie
New Jack
Tony Mamaluke
Bill Alfonso
Joel Gertner
Armando Estrada

WWE talent/employees who could comment anonymously (maybe with the old "silhouette and altered voice" thing?):
Christian
Joey Styles
Big Show
Chavo Guerrero
Mark Henry
The Miz
John Morrison
CM Punk
Finlay
Goldust
Kane
Dean Malenko
Dusty Rhodes

I wonder if WWE would do everything in their power to find out who these anonymous contributors are and take action against them. Hopefully not.
