Mad Dog Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 MAIN EVENT: The original 3-way dance rematch! Shane Douglas (with Francine) vs Sabu (with Bill Alfonso) vs Terry Funk Sandman vs Raven Jerry Lynn vs Justin Credible Kid Kash vs CW Anderson Plus the Eliminators have issued an open invitation to any tag team that wants to challenge their legacy as the most Hardcore tag team of all time! Fun fact: the combined age of the workers in the main event is 140 years old. Looks completely unwatchable though and I would be stunned if they get over *1/2 for any of those matches.
Guest rob Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Doesn't look any worse than a standard ECW card.
Loss Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 I can't believe they haven't reached out to Raven to work the ECW PPV. Or maybe they have.
Guest Some Guy Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Jerry Lynn vs. Aldo might be watchable. The first and second 3 Way Dance with Sabu, Funk, and Douglas both sucked, I can't imagine this will be much different.
sek69 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 I thought the Eliminators stopped teaming because they didn't like each other.
Guest Some Guy Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 I imagine that are going to team again because they stopped liking not making any money.
Al Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 I think this illustrates the general problem with these reunion shows. They seek to deliver the same workers and matches as before, but the workers are 5-10 years past their peaks, and if I wanted to see Douglas/Sabu/Funk, I could just pop in a tape. It is scary to think it has been almost eight years since ECW booked that triple threat match as a nostalgia effort the first time.
Al Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 What the hell? No RVD? This is bullshit. There are two cards, the WWE effort, and this indy one.
Guest Flyboy Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Ah, okay. My mistake. That let's you know how much I've been keeping up with wrestling these days (I haven't).
Loss Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Ah, okay. My mistake. That let's you know how much I've been keeping up with wrestling these days (I haven't). Did you know Hulk Hogan went to WCW and Bret Hart became champ? I'll stop there.
Guest DylanWaco Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 I'm sure some people will give some of the matches five star ratings if there are enough crazy bumps and bloodloss. Somebody always does. Meltzer might not be as giving, but his star ratings are crap anyhow. This card is gonna stink more than likely, but I imagine it would entertaining live.

Meltzer might not be as giving, but his star ratings are crap anyhow. This card is gonna stink more than likely, but I imagine it would entertaining live. I doubt Meltzer will even see the card, unless they produce a videotape of it. I certainly would not expect an immediate write-up. But it could be fun live, as long as you don't expect more than a glorified indy card.
Loss Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Five matches, with no guys that really have the stuff to go long. I sense a disaster, especially if Funk/Sabu/Douglas are dumb enough to try to go 60 minutes again.

The Thread Killer Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Last time I saw Shane Douglas try and go more than 15 minutes, he got so blown up that he puked in the ring...seriously.
MyOwnSummer Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Kid Kash vs CW Anderson Well CW is a guilty pleasure of mine, so this match doesn't sound too bad.
Mad Dog Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Posted May 16, 2005 Jerry Lynn vs. Aldo might be watchable. The first and second 3 Way Dance with Sabu, Funk, and Douglas both sucked, I can't imagine this will be much different. They had a series of 3-5 matches in TNA and they all sucked. I dioubt it'll be any different 2 years later considering Lynn isn't on fire like he was at the time in TNA.
Guest Some Guy Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 Didn't see them. I'll take your word for it, though.
Mad Dog Posted May 17, 2005 Author Report Posted May 17, 2005 Just to add. Justin Credible got fired from TNA due to the quality of his matches with Jerry Lynn.
Loss Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 I also tend to think Jerry Lynn is probably the worst guy ever that's considered a good-great worker. I can't think of anyone I'd rather watch ... retire.
The Thread Killer Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 So not a big fan of his series of matches with RVD, huh?
sek69 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 Jerry Lynn's probably on tour with his band, Nickelback.
