ECW Born To Be Wired with KB

Born To Be Wired
Date: August 9, 1997
Location: ECW Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Commentator: Joey Styles

This isn’t a PPV but it’s the next big show after Barely Legal. We have a main event of Terry Funk defending the world title against Sabu in a pretty famous barbed wire match. On top of that there isn’t anything of note on the card but then again it’s ECW so a lot of the card was probably announced an hour before the bell. Let’s get to it.

A Famous Main Event And A Big Mess

KB, just curious: how do you obtain the material you review? You have access to just about every addition of WWE's shows, PPVs as well as various other companies. Are these shows on YouTube or do you just have a collection of sorts?

You can find almost any show you want if you look hard enough online.

LOL

"once you get used to the shock value, there is little to no substance"

in other news, water is wet and fire is hot

Convince the ECW freaks of that and I'll buy you a ham sandwich.

Good thing ECW doesn't exist anymore or Heyman would have taken your idea and convinced his guys to make this a spot.

No substance really?

What about the Bill Alphonso Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission storyline with the epic heel turn of Cactus Jack, and this explanation for turning heel:

There was quite a bit of substance in this storyline, which ran from the spring of 95 through to 96. Haters are just going to hate.

You want to talk about lack of substance lets talk about WWE here and now in 2012. No depth in 90% of the characters whatsoever. Crap storylines like Brock vs Triple H for Summerslam, would you say that had "Substance"?

ECW wasn't the best, and a lot of it was shit, but it was nowhere near as bad as you guys make it out to be.
