Excellent, a Must See

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I never saw this live, but oh my kendo-sticks I wish I did. it was freaking awesome. The style of wrestling was what made Extreme Championship Wrestling what it was, and destroyed the taboo in smashing kendo sticks and barbed wire against your opponent's head.Highlighted matches Taz VS Jerry Lawler - The first of the highlighted matches was Taz taking on Jerry lawler. Now jerry lawler hates ECW, and commonly refers to it as "Extremely Crappy Wrestling" well, he went and slapped Joey styles across the face before the match. then he went to the ring and was choked out by Taz. game over. Taz stayed around the rest of the night on commentary.Randy Orton VS Kurt angle - Despite the incident involving "The Crucifixion" in 1996, Kurt angle laced up his boots and joined the Side of ECW. His opponent was a man who tried to take away his world heavyweight title back at wrestlemania. Kurt snapped the man's ankle 2 months before one night stand, and Randy wanted revenge. However, after 25 to 30 minutes of Kurt nearly beating Randy, and randy being Verbally abused by the audience, Kurt managed to make randy give up.Rey Mysterio VS Sabu - Rey mysterio had won the world heavyweight title from Kurt angle back at Mania 22, and had been holding onto it for a period of time. But now it was going on the line against the 2-time ECW world champion, the suicidal, homicidal, Genocidal, Death-defying Sabu. While some might assume both wrestlers would be cheered for, Rey mysterio got a mixed reaction, because back in the day, he left ECW for WCW, which was ECW's biggest enemy at the time. Anyways, the match was high flying and hardcore, until sabu did one too many dangerous stunts, nearly breaking his own and Rey's necks, DDTing Rey through a table.Mick Foley, Edge, and Lita VS Tommy Dreamer, Terry Funk and Beulah Magillicutty - This match made the night. Terry funk and Tommy Dreamer are like the Father and son that wern't related, And were heavily cheered entering the ring. Mick also got a mixed reaction, mainly for the same reason Mysterio did, but Mick left for WWE. edge got a lot of boos, and his girlfriend got a lot of nasty chants like "She's Got herpes." and "You're a Crack whore." after a bloody 20 minute battle, Edge speared Tommy Dreamer's Wife, Beulah and pinned her, humping her in sync with the 3-count.John Cena VS Rob Van Dam - This Match Was much like the 3 on 3 hardcore match, but it was more about who won and who lost. ECW's audience wanted RVD to win, while no one in the audience wanted Cena to win. they constantly booed him, and chanted foul things at him. One fan even decided to wave a sign that said "If Cena wins, We riot." They also threw Toilet paper at him, and Threw his shirt back at him when he threw it into the audience. Joey styles even quoted "This audience is mixed. one side who flips the bird, and the other who actually uses the F-word." and also said "I don't think the ECW fans ever want a part of Cena, except Maybe his head." In the end, Edge interfered and speared Cena through a table. RVD capitalized on it and pinned Cena thanks to Paul heyman's 3 count, and Rechristened the WWE title into the ECW title...sort of.All in all, it was a sweet PPV. the next few ONS's just got worse.

I admit it, I was pretty certain that this PPV would bomb. The idea of having WWE superstars like Edge, Randy Orton and Lita on the PPV was weird, especially since this was all about ECW. But I will take my word back, it was an enjoyable show. And I also must admit it that I am disappointed that with all the rumours going around on the internet about a possible Dean Malenko vs Chris Benoit match, it didn't happen.In all ONS 2006 wasn't as sharp or as crisp as ONS 2005, but WWE did produce a good show even though Tazz couldn't be arsed to wrestle a regular match with Jerry Lawler, but looking at the size of Tazz these days, it's no wonder.The Super Crazy and Tajiri vs Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke match featured a few good moves but was let down by far too many blown spots and I was dismayed when Big Show came out and destroyed all four men and Big Guido as well. The ECW fans gave him a standing ovation, I couldn't understand why, especially when you consider Show dines on junk food and rarely works out in the gym.The crowd reaction in the main event featuring John Cena and Rob Van Dam was unforgettable. 100% of the fans were behind RVD and not one was there for Cena. They shouted things at Cena like "You can't wrestle", "Same old s*it" (in reference to his wrestling routine), "F*ck you Cena" and even worse. Still Cena knew this would happen and played his heel role well.Results from the Hammerstein Ballroom in front of 2,500 fans are as follows: Tazz defeated Jerry Lawler in a quick match. Balls Mahoney defeated Masato Tanaka in a short match, after his excellent match in 2005 with Mike Awesome, this was a waste of Tanaka. Edge, Mick Foley and Lita defeated Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer and Beulah in a wild, hardcore match. Kurt Angle defeated Randy Orton in a great war. The FBI (Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke) defeated Super Crazy and Tajiri. Sabu and Rey Mysterio ended in a no contest. RVD defeated John Cena to become the ECW champion.Overall Grade - A

I'm not a big ECW fan , personally I find the whole concept of the company over-rated and I think ECW fans are nothing but a flock of sheep who would get excited over anything remotely linked with ECW that is put it front of them. Not to mention considering its a programme viewed by mostly over 18 males, they show an incredible amount of immaturity. Anyway to the show Firstly Heyman comes out and feeds his sheep some grass, otherwise known as milking up to the ECW crowd so they cheer his name.1. Tazz Vs. The King - 3/10, not really a match more of a segment, ends in no time with an unsurprising end.2. Randy Orton Vs. Kurt Angle - 7/10 A very good show put on by the WWE guys, but my main issue with this match was the ECW crowd, there chants towards Orton were very child like and silly, it was like being back in the playground at school, the best they could do were a few ridiculous homophobic jokes, I thought that was pretty low but it sums up the narrow mindedness of a common day ECW mark.3. The FBI Vs. Super Crazy - 7/10 A very good cruiser-weight match, nothing different to the stuff we see on Smackdown most weeks.4. Rey Mysterio Vs. Sabu WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE - 8.5/10 Iv always criticised Sabu for being no more then a glorified stuntman, but hey the guy can pull of some stunts, there is an awesome spot at the end of this match, truly worth a thumbs up from me. Truly worth the 8.5/10 rating.JBL gets on the Mic and delivers a great promo ripping on the ECW fans.5. Edge/Foley/Lita Vs. Funk/Dreamer/Bellulah - 8/10 As good as Foley/Edge Wrestlemania if not better, incredible that 61 year old funk is willing to take bumps like that, he deserves credit. Dreamer for me did nothing as i expected, Edge/Foley carried much of this match making it great.6. Balls Mahoney Vs. Tanaka - 5/10 Didn't really care for this match, wasn't anything special, more of a toilet break type match.Eugene meets the Sandman aka drunk, fat, sexual predatory crack head. To see people cheer for a low life scum like the Sandman makes me sick. Another place where ECW fans lose their credibility by cheering for a total loser like him.7. RVD Vs. John Cena WWE Championship - 8/10 Funny beginning to the match Cena throws his hat and shirt into the crowd, perhaps rather stupidly the ECW fans keep throwing it back, stupid because that shirt could be worth a penny or two, anyway Cena keeps throwing it back for a few Min's. People say crowd made this match well I don't think they made it that much because you knew what they were going to do and say to Cena and it was like been there done that. For me Cena made this match, seeing him revert to a heel role was great to see, beating up the referee, mocking the crowd, performing illegal moves albeit it was nodq match it was good to see. Cena hits RVD with a pretty impressive DDT on the steel chair and I think ECW fans in a weird way acknowledged he'd done something good, although they chanted "you still suck" after each pretty impressive Cena move, I think those chants were rather sinister. Ending was a bit surprising which added to what was a very good match.

A decent night of action with arguably the most vocal crowd to ever grace a WWE sanctioned event.1) Tazz def Jerry 'The King' Lawler - The easiest outcome to predict out of all the matches. It was never going to be about the wrestling was it? It was more of a segment than anything else. Anyway, Tazz chokes out Jerry Lawler thanks to interference from Joey Styles. 3/102) Kurt Angle def Randy Orton - Quite a good WWE wrestling match. The only thing that I don't like about the ECW fans is that they don't appreciate pure old school wrestling matches, e.g Bob Backlund. This was evident when they chanted "BORING" to Randy Orton. The crowd were really into Kurt Angle. Randy Orton played the heel quite well (after the match when he was being helped out by officials, the fans were calling him a pussy. He acted like they were cheering him by smiling and waving at them. Very funny). 6.5/103) FBI def Tajiri & Super Crazy - The crowd showed appreciation for these talented and underrated superstars. Tajiri got a great welcome back reception. A very good cruiser weight match. I'm not sure what the point of the Big Show coming out at the end was though. 7/104) Rey Mysterio & Sabu: No Contest - Many people were expecting a lot more but I guess the WWE has to protect it's champion and can't let him get too banged up. A few high spots leading up to the main high spot which finished the match (the finish to the match was a work by the way). The spot at the end did enough to make this match worth while. 6/10 (I would have given it a higher rating if the match was longer)5) Mic Foley, Edge & Lita def Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer & Beulah - Good hardcore match, Mic Foley stole the show in this one. Even though he played a heel character, the ECW fans had nothing but love for him and were reluctant to boo him. When they did boo him, it was in a pantomime kind of way. Terry Funk did a Ric Flair job (everybody was just happy that he didn't die). Tommy Dreamer did his usually job, nothing out of the ordinary. Edge showed why he's the most improved wrestler of the year as far as ring presence and main event status goes. The females weren't to be out done either. Lita showed that the WWE shouldn't forget that she can actually wrestle and it was nice to see Beulah back in the thick of things again. 7.5/10 (Match of the night)6) Balls Mahoney def Tanaka - Judging by Tanaka's match with Mike Awesome at last years ONS, I expected a show stealer. This match was pretty much garbage. Not because of Tanaka, but because Balls Mahoney is the most out of shape wrestler in the world (apart from the Blue Meanie). 5/107) RVD def John Cena - Like at WM 22, John Cena's match makes headlines because of the crowd, not the wrestling. I have never seen or heard a crowd with so much genuine hatred for a wrestler in my life. It wasn't the good heel heat that a heel sets out to achieve either. It was the heat that The Rock got before he joined the Nation or X-Pac heat as it's more commonly known. Edge even received a "THANK U EDGE" chant for attacking Cena during the match. John Cena & Mr McMahon can keep acting like the boos don't bother them but even if you have no soul, a reaction like what Cena received would f**k your soul up. I felt genuinely sorry for John Cena and I am no John Cena fan. The match was a standard no DQ match never the less. The match 6.5/10. The crowd reaction 10/10.I'll give a special mention to JBL who did a segment showing why he has the best mic work in the WWE.I also can't believe that Vince McMahon had the guts to put Eugene on an ECW show. Even though Sandman beat Eugene up that segment was pretty pointless.Overall a standard ECW PPV which the fans turned into a good ECW PPV. ECW should always have their events in small arenas otherwise the atmosphere will disappear.
