Loss Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Gilbert laments that he has to wrestle Funk in a chain match, and also that he never got the chance to kill Todd Gordon's dog when they were kids! Funk sends in a promo by video hyping up the match. These announcers are awful because they're too fake in their enthusiasm, but Funk and Gilbert are really good.

PeteF3 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hot Stuff has gone from the Gilbert Wrestling Federation to Eddie's Championship Wrestling. Tod Gordon stands up to him, and he's no Eddie Marlin even if I get that they're already trying different things with this promotion. Funk does a great job of praising Philly wrestling fans without coming off as a shameless asskisser. Don Muraco aligned with Eddie and Paul E. sounds really weird.

WingedEagle Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Clips of Gilbert complaining that he has a chain match with Funk even though Paul E never signed a contract. Funk promo with a hard sell for the chain match, saying Philly has seen the best and worst of wrestling, and now they'll see the most violent.

soup23 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 We get Gilberts rebuttal which was fine but not up to his usual standards or the stuff we have seen from Funk lately. That being said, this feels like a big ECW angle and Im still anticipating the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Terry was so much better than Eddie here it wasn't funny. I really like the fact that Terry's toned down the wackiness for his last two promos, because it shows that he's taking the upcoming match very seriously. I have no real idea why a guy from Texas wants to be the king of Philadelphia, but I'm convinced that Terry wants it and wants it badly. Eddie was off here. He seemed to be more worried about which one of Tod Gordon's dogs he should have killed than the match he's supposed to be out there talking about, and Tod doesn't look very presidential exchanging insults with him. ECW could have used a distinguished "greybeard" type as president whose main job was to sit on a set and send in videotapes, only rarely even showing up at the matches, let alone interacting with the wrestlers. It seems to be tailor-made for someone like Bruno, but I don't think he would have been on board with Heyman's extreme philosophy by a longshot. I give the promotion credit for bringing in names the Philly fans would know like Muraco and Jimmy Snuka, but based on how much they had left the last time we saw each of them in the ring, they should be glad they transitioned to younger guys like the Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, and Shane Douglas For those of you who may not follow the NHL, the New Jersey Devils (whose jersey Eddie was wearing during the segment) and the Philadelphia Flyers are bitter rivals. The only way Eddie could have conceivably gotten more heat is with a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey. I guess he couldn't find one so close to Philly.
