The majority of people on here are so disgruntled with the professional wrestling industry they cannot appreciate anything. Why do you even comment or watch wrestling anymore? Anyway, after a 10 year absence from PPV, in my opinion the ppv, for the limitations it was faced with (one-night contracts and insurance liabilities), was good. My three point analysis. First, the matches were solid, not great, but solid. The quirky humor in the matches played to really old school ECW and made up for ring rust. Second, the booking was great if compared with the booking of old ECW house events. You had random wrestlers face each other who put on solid matches. In addition, the matches played into historical angles. Third, I loved the fan intensity. Great fan response can make the worst of matches watchable. Remember not ALL ECW matches were great and ECW knew how to leverage fan/wrestler interaction to remedy this problem. The negatives were the announcing. I have grown to dislike Mike Tenay, after watching TNA since the beginning of the year. He does not have it and I hope Borash gets a push. Also, some of the wrestlers were in terrible health. Balls looked atrocious. Simon Diamond gained a lot of weight. Kid Kash looked good but he is ripped now. Other than that, I thought most looked like they did from the 1990's. Also, why are the majority of wrestling fans here so condescending towards people who attend live events? Are you any better than they are? Are you jealous? I do not understand your perspective. You were/are doing the same thing when you attended/attend wrestling events. The attitude is perplexing and inconsistent, if this is true. I am not saying all wrestling fans are great but it is what it is. Well said. Thank you for the intelligent post.

Laid it to rest? That's why there was a second ONS, right? Ya know, with John Cena in the main event..then of course, bringing it back into something completely different, with Tommy Dreamer acting like an ass clown every week. How many times did WWE fans say 'Man, I wish ECW would have kept the old ECW feeling with matches that were actually hardcore" Oh...wait...almost ALL OF THEM But NOW, TNA has all the talent that the WWE fans wanted, so they come over here...and since they hate TNA, all they can do is complain. You have posted my sig pic one way to many times. And I'm going to keep using it. It suits the complainers (like yourself) very well.

Such an awesome show....I was chanting along with the fans...Seeing the old members brought back alot of memories..It was cool to have "where are they now" and they interviewd wrestlers about what they remeber back then...i give the ppv 10/10

You were/are doing the same thing when you attended/attend wrestling events. The attitude is perplexing and inconsistent, if this is true. I am not saying all wrestling fans are great but it is what it is. No normal fan or group of people chant the same things that don't fit every two minutes. Chant a lot if it fits, or if doesn't, chant when it's needed. The Crowd at HCJ was quite possibly the worst Crowd TNA's ever had. Not everything needs a chant, and it gets very tiresome after 20 chants in 10 minutes. For the Show, I was looking forward to an ECW PPV, then Impact made me slowly lose it, then the PPV, sans some of the Wrestling kept it going. The Wrestling was better than I expected, but everything else is what made it an awful PPV as a whole. For those that watch TNA every week and love it, people say something negative about TNA, then one of you bitches at them for not even watching the Show, they watch the Show, much like I did, then when they come back and have the same opinion, you go crazy and yell at them "Why are you even watching, then!?!?!?!?" People actually don't like TNA and see it as pure garbage, and apparently they can only have an opinion if they watch every week. People say NXT sucks every week, yet you don't bitch at them "HEY, WHY DO YOU WATCH, THEN!?!?!?!?". You only seem to care about people not liking TNA. If you commented to everyone who says "(Wrestling Show) Sucks!", people would respect you and not call you marks/fanboys, but you only say it when someone doesn't like the underdog, TNA. Be consistent and people won't dislike you.

Yeah, they brought it back, but they also pretty much laid it to rest. All TNA did was try to revive a hideous decaying corpse. Laid it to rest? That's why there was a second ONS, right? Ya know, with John Cena in the main event..then of course, bringing it back into something completely different, with Tommy Dreamer acting like an ass clown every week. How many times did WWE fans say 'Man, I wish ECW would have kept the old ECW feeling with matches that were actually hardcore" Oh...wait...almost ALL OF THEM But NOW, TNA has all the talent that the WWE fans wanted, so they come over here...and since they hate TNA, all they can do is complain. Because it's not on 'their' PG rated show. LOL, you have no idea what your talking about. Yes, I like WWE, but I don't really like PG (at least I didn't, tonights PPV made me appreciate PG a lot more, TBH) and I want to like TNA, but they make it kind of hard by doing sh*t like this. I would have much rather watched Desmond Wolfe, The MCMG's, Ink Inc., and Brian Kendrick than any of these old geezers.

Why the show was great The Crowd - hottest crowd I have seen in some time. Vince wanted that crowd and that is why he brought ECW back. Al Snow - My lord was he funny nostalgic - damn it I miss ECW and this show felt like ECW Joel Gertner - Still funny as hell Tommy Dreamer vs Raven one last time. This fued was ECW and was the match of the night IMO

People cant complain when they have spent their hard earned money on a crappy PPV they are dissapointed with, of course they can, just because you liked it doesnt mean everyone else has to. No, the thing is..the people that are bitching..are the people that ALWAYS bitch. I sorta got used to em. And if they're going to buy a PPV from a show they already can't stand, then that is their obvious stupidity. The thing is...they can't blame Russo, they can't blame Hogan. They can't blame Run in's in every match...but they still bitch. And why do they still bitch? Because they're idiots. They want to watch because "It's supposed to be a train wreck"..but it wasn't a train wreck, so they can't even bitch about that. What are they bitching about...that ECW didn't give 5 star matches with good psychology? Are they ING STUPID? It's ECW. Known for hardcore violence. However, the matches they did put on were great and not many of those people missed a step from 10+ years back. I'm still finding it crazy, when you have 2 matches announced on the card first of all, being Tommy Dreamer vs Raven and RVD vs and people are complaining about psychology in a match in ECW. EditAnd even if TNA put on their own show with their own talent, and it was a decent PPV...which they've been putting on recently, especially Bound for Glory, people would still bitch...and the thing is, it would be the same exact people bitching now for the ECW complaining that it wasn't a TNA PPV. You know what I;m sick of? People like you bitching about people bitching! Guess what that makes you? A BITCHER! So stop your own damn bitchin!!! For christs sake I'm so sick of people like you and SG that come on here and wanna tell people how to react. We didnt like it! We bitched about it! Get over it. You guys frukin act like people cant say something. You're just as bad as everybody else but you guys cant see that becasue ya think since TNA can do no wrong, you must be right! Well guess what you;re not! and just becasue you like it doenst give you any more authority to come on here and Bitch about people not liking it. It'd be one thing if you could just state that you liked it and leave it alone, but ya gotta proceed to rip on everyone else, then ya whine becasue people are givin you a hard time for liking it. Like I said to SG, it's not that you like it, it's the fact that you guys don't let anyone else propose an alternative opinion. Your opinion isn;t the only one that matters and that's how some of you come across! I mean for Frucks sake, cobra commander made a comment and ya had something smart ass to say to him. Someone else made a comment to someone, and SG stepped in and made a smart ass comment to him. Take some damn responsibility for how you act once in awhile then you'll have some leverage to tell people not to bitch all the time.

The people who are saying this PPV was horrible obviously haven't seen many of the other PPV's from this year. It totally killed Wrestlemania and any other WWE PPV this year except for MITB. It's the best thing TNA has show in in quite some time as well.
For whoever said that this was worse than December to Dismember is on "teh needle dope".

Because it's not on 'their' PG rated show. I'm sure his laid to rest comment was about ECW ending in February not the ONS PPV. Being an ECW threadhead, we certainly enjoyed what ECW had become and we didn't want the old ECW back.

I am not saying all wrestling fans are great but it is what it is. Well said. Thank you for the intelligent post. No problem, it seems you have a lot of individuals on here which have 1,000's of posts which provide little to no objective analysis. In my opinion, they feel they are entitled to have their opinions shine without question or explanation based on a posting status. Hey, have an opinion but provide me with a coherent explanation.

Well, maybe if TNA did stuff right people wouldn't complain. Granted, it's impossible to please everyone and there will still complain, but it wouldn't be as bad. I watch TNA for a reason, I still like watching guys like Desmond Wolfe and stuff, but TNA just does a lot of stupid sh*t, like reviving a dead brand just to please a handful of retards.
