That was a pretty good match, lots of good counters in that one. Cheech's powerbomb lift x-factor was impressive.
Tag match next, not familiar with these guys.

Thanks.
Caleb Konley & Scott Reed (1-0) vs. John Silver & Alex Reynolds (0-0)
Caleb Konley is the only one I'm familiar with. He wrestled at ROH At Center Stage last year during Mania weekend and got Spanky chants because he's a ringer for Kendrick. Especially with the tights he was wearing at the time.

Yeah, that was pretty cool, same with their finisher. The Scene looked good, the other guys not so much - Reynolds hand-spring looked sloppy as hell.
*edit, Jigsaw vs AR Fox up next, this should be fun.

That was a pretty awesome match, they were quite restrained for two thirds before kicking it up a gear in the finishing stretch.
I really hate guys doing crazy flips to the outside though. The suicide dive looks fine, because the guy doing to move lands on his feet, but when they do something crazy (like that springboard 450 to the floor AR Fox just did, or Zema Ion's Skytwister Press to the floor on the TNA PPV) the guy doing the move more often than not ends up splatting on the floor.

DVD on the apron, Player Dos is dead. Good match so far, Swann & Taylor are having a great showing tonight.
*edit, awesome double team from the Smash Bros, Uno held Swann in a Gory Bomb position while Dos flew off the top rope for a Blockbuster.
AWFUL WAFFLE! Taylor picks up the win.

Yeah, this is definitely the best WWNLive iPPV yet in terms of production quality. None of the sound level problems that have plagued previous shows.
2nd half's starting now - Kyle Mathews (0-0) vs Jon Davis (0-1) kicking things off.

Yeah, the dude is super strong - Uhaa Nation vs Jon Davis please.
God, these fans are dicks. You guys might not want to hear the promos, but the fans at home do.
Oh right, he called out Fit Finlay. Cool, that should be a good match.
Callihan vs Fish is up now.
*edit, how fitting that the final crowd for the ECW Arena are a bunch of dicks. Booing the first extended period of mat work in the whole show, cheering for the heels regardless of storyline, shouting dumb shit out to try and get themselves over, etc. They're pretty dead at the moment, hopefully Ricochet/Gargano will be suitable flippy enough to retain their attention.

That was a great match, they told a good story with the leg work and Fish sold really well throughout. Good continuation of the Callihan/AR Fox storyline too.
Pity the crowd didn't give the slightest of shits.

This crowd is a bunch of dicks, they started booing the main event as it went on. I even heard New Jack chants. That was a good match though, but seriously, fuck this Philly crowd.

That was a pretty good main event, apart from a few blown spots and the crowd being general fucking awful. It seems half of them had their fill of wrestling in the 1st half of the show and now only want ECW nostalgia.
Oh damn, seems that Gargano's injured. Anyone notice how it happened?

ECW Ring announcer Bill Artise, Joey Styles, Gary Wolfe, J.T. Smith, Todd Gordon out to honour ECW....what a line-up.
Oh wow, and out comes DJ Hyde and his CZW goons. Apparently CZW ran more shows than ECW in the arena, so it's their building, they start attacking the ECW guys.
And here comes Balls Mahoney cleaning house, but he gets beat down by the CZWtards.
New Jack makes the save and Philly pops like they should have for the wrestling on the second half of the show.
Justin Credible comes out of nowhere and helps the CZWtards attack New Jack.
Now Sabu's out, seems he and Credible are going to have an impromptu match!

House shows tend to be pretty damn spectacular in that regard.

Sabu & Credible put on a pretty good ECW style match, although I get the impression Philly was disappointed there was no fire. Sabu spiked the shit out of Justin's forehead and then hit the Arabian Face Buster through a table.
*edit, Sabu's going to get on the mic! Fans chant 'holy shit'. But Calliahan interrupts and attacks Sabu with a broken bottle.

Goddamn, Sabu's pissing blood from his forehead. Callihan dropping truth bombs on ECW, all the reunion shows and the 'Extreme Legends'.
*edit, AR Fox attacks Sami, but Pinkie makes the save.

It's kinda weird how they have so little wrestling on Raw, yet house shows often have 10-20 minute matches throughout the card.
Enough with the reunion shows, how many funerals for ECW will we have to see, when will it finally die....ect.

Good show overall, although the second half was spoiled somewhat by the awful Philly crowd. The ECW stuff at the end was just odd, and the ending of the show felt really flat. Hope Gargano's OK, he looked pretty shaken after his match.
He was just saying how many more of these damn reunion shows/celebrations/hardcore homecomings do we really need, how everyone should forget ECW and look to the promotions still alive today and how pathetic it is that the so called 'Extreme Legends' won't just give it up already.

Obviously though a lot of these guys just don't have much to show from their wrestling careers other than their memories. Perhaps if today's promotions stop giving them the paydays and certain fans stop clamouring for ECW nostalgia, they'll be forced to give it up and get proper jobs.
I mean, how the hell is Balls Mahoney still working and how is he in any way a draw?
