(29 Jan 2015, 7:11 pm)MurdnunoC RIP Public Enemy.

Both members are dead yet, amazingly, Funk and Foley are still alive.

Did not know Public Enemy were dead Sad

Your right about Funk and Foley, how they are still alive I will never know...Not many could do half the things they and still be of sound mind to tell the tale...

Did Foley once set Terry Funk on fire in ECW???

Yup. Ted Petty (Rocco Rock) died in 2002 aged 49 while Mike Durham (Johnny Grunge) died in 2006 aged 39. Johnny Grunge was Chris Benoit's neighbour and apparently helped him get over the death of Eddie Guerrero. Benoit was reportedly devastated over the death of Grunge.

I think there was an incident involving fire between Funk and Foley in ECW. It paled in comparison to their adventures in IWA-Japan though where they blew each other up!

This is not for the faint hearted.

IIRC a lot of Benoits friends died around 2005/06 and I always believed Eddies death pushed him over the edge, and the fact his friends were dropping like flies around him made an unstable man even more unstable and it was only a matter of time something would have happened to him(of course, we all know about the tragedy that occurred)

Somehow, TNA managed to themselves look like a substandard, third-rate version of ECW.

That's quite impressive.

That would be Don West, he did commentary alongside Mike Tenay along with being in charge of selling TNA Merchandise, he was then replaced by Tazz and seemingly disappeared of the wrestling radar.

I've just signed up as well.

I'm currently watching this weeks episode of NXT. Will probably watch some 'Hardcore TV' after that. 127 is a good place to start.

Watch 2005 too if it's on there. The Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka is quality.

I really didn't rate either of the One Night Stands to be honest. 2005 is passable, largely down to the Tanaka/Awesome match and The Sandman's entrance, but the whole WWE-produced ECW run was a complete letdown. 

I imagine original ECW is probably hard to watch if you weren't around for it in the 1990s. I used to buy tapes from a tape-trader during that period and had most of the episodes ranging from 116 up until 180-odd. It's probably more of a nostalgia thing for me. I doubt the matches will hold-up but I'm looking forward to watching the whole Raven story unfold again. There were some very memorable angles from his run.

Got to say, after approximately two hours viewing, I am completely unimpressed with the WWE network.

For one, I hate the 'player' they use. It does not support true 'full-screen mode' and you're left with a black-border around the picture. Secondly, the video quality isn't the best (although for ECW-TV - that's to be expected). And thirdly, I'm experiencing delays while the video is buffering.

Most of the stuff (arguably of higher quality) is on Daily Motion and YouTube anyway and of course there are other methods of acquiring the television and PPV's on offer. I think I'll stick to that.
