Is this ECW pay per view for real?

I saw a commercial for this ECW one night stand. Anyone know anything about it? Will the matches actually be extreme or is this one last cash in on the name? Also will this take place in the ECW arena with the same broadcasters? I really want to order this thing, I cant help but feel I will be dissapointed though. I havent really followed wrestling for about 4 years.
 
Yes, it's for real.

It's a reunion show that was thought up by RVD, written by Paul Heyman and put together by Tommy Dreamer. I'm sure it'll be just as you want it to be. They even did an angle where Heyman showed up on Raw and told Vince "You can own ECW, but I still control ECW."

Internet people are being homos about it being WWE's version of ECW-lite, but I trust Heyman would never let this PPV happen unless he knew he could do whatever he wanted.

I think Joey Styles said no to doing this PPV, but Joel Gertner will be there, and I guess they'll probably have Tazz do commentary.

Yeah thats dissapointing, I just checked out the website. My main fear is that WWE/Vince will somehow get involved and ruin it. If this sucks i will never order another PPV again, I swear to that. :)

I dont see what looks so much better about Shane's PPV except maybe Joey Styles.

Lance Storm vs Jericho > Joey and anything else booked for HHC so far.

Looks alot better than the WWE ECW....and its in the bingo hall.
I agree with Brian... that show looks terrible. WWE has all the workrate guys from ECW... Shane Douglas has thrown together all the hardcore guys. Sabu can't do anything anymore without fear of killing himself from injuries, that three-way match will be disappointing.

And I'd take Paul Heyman/RVD/Tommy Dreamer's ECW way before I take Shane Douglas/Raven/Sandman's ECW.
