[frazinho1]

This is surely scripted!?!?!?!

[brutalkid1997xbox]

holy shit i anit seen this show in years

[eRk21221]

this shit was so dumb.

[doomie316]

if i was a part of ecw and the idiots at tnn told me to plug this piece of shit i would spit in their fucking face and tell them to go fuck themselves, the only thing i would ever say about this garbage on tv is that no one should EVER watch it or even watch tnn at all.

[jparkeriv]

@doomie316 So... you... DON'T like it?

[manuntd2009]

ECW....ECW...ECW..

[29AmberNicole]

[Reichwulf]

This was more real than the current wwe. Beast mode

[musclemoose]

[maxassasin911]

E-C-W E-C-W E-C-W E-C-W E-C-W E-C-W E-C-W

[laughingwarrior]

Many years ago, I would watch this after invader zim lol

[JDezi4]

So... Is this what that one movie with Juno and Drew Barrymore was?

Is this an actual sport or is this just sports entertainment?

[goldiebee19]

@JDezi4 I think you could definitely call it a sport--though a very obscure one. It's not really sports "entertainment" on a massive scale because it stopped being televised about 10 years ago so people aren't sitting in front of their TVs watching this on a regular basis, and it's not like a lot of people are buying tickets. Now it's just something that people do for fun. But from watching this show as a kid, I always believed that it was scripted, if that's what you mean by "entertainment."

[froodie]

@JDezi4 This "rollerjam" stuff is scripted and is sports entertainment.

The roller derby shown in the movie Whip It (the Ellen Page/Drew Barrymore movie) is modern roller derby which is a legitimate, non-scripted sport that's growing more and more popular around the world.

[dickclarkfan1]

@froodie It would have been better if it had been real, but at the time TNN was trying to get their hands on getting TV rights to a wrestling promotion, so they tried to demonstrate that there was a place for "sports entertainment" on their network.

[Neriyae]

Eric Slopey's white pony was EPIC!

[TheePizzaDude]

Is this programme scripted, it really looks it.

[spoti001]

[spoti001]

OMG!!! I used to watch this show when I was in elementary school! thanks for posting this one!

[spongsteven]

the show that ECW promoted constantly.... ugh

[JetsGD04]

haha this show was the shit back in the day. this might be a stupid question but was this show fake?

[iiKArMii]

@JetsGD04 It's like wfw or wwe or whatever. Scripted. Besides that this show is cool as hell :D

[qgreen100]

i used to watch this

[chada75]

The track would have been a awesome kart track. 

[AshyKnucks]

gay...

[emofreski]

no le entiendo muy bien a este juego los tienen que sacar o que

[slayer6464]

God i miss Roller Jam. I was such a fan. Shay Brown and Amy Craig were my fav skaters even though my fav team was California

[JoEClove]

Spike TV needs to bring this back..take a few things out maybe..add sum stuff but dont go crazy with it.

[YungShifter]

thq could make a lot of money creating a fighting Rollerblade game

[Wisconsin222]

1 person still thinks Jersey Shore is more entertaining than this.

[Neriyae]

Man, I miss this show... I used to watch it every chance I got. Amy Craig was like a cheetah on skates.

[troyaof]

This show did nothing but damage Roller Derby. Makes me sad

[lilweezy1984]

This show was so bad it was good. I wish it was on DVD.

[ashbash221]

soooooooo many illegal moves o_O

[thebuckrogers22]

oops i mean Stacy Blitsch she was awesome

[thebuckrogers22]

i loved this back in the day. i remember watching my 1st and only ep cuz i didnt have cable and i was at my uncles place. so i recorded an ep. all i remember is some woman named blitz

[vijil]

Why didn't inline skates catch on? They seem to make so much more sense especially now that most roller derby is flat track - inlines corner far better on the flat.

[PoobahSCRG]

@vijil Inlines go faster, but they don't actually corner all that well. To make this show work they actually had to increase the size of the track a fair bit larger than the banked tracks of the 70s-80s-90s. Derby skaters are starting to switch back to 45° plates from of the 10° plates you may be more familiar with. Inlines have been tried in derby, they really don't work all that well. It takes a lot of the stamina requirement out of the game. Speed becomes too easy to attain.

[vijil]

@PoobahSCRG Ah, thanks for the clarification. My thinking came from watching indoor short track speed skating on inlines, the corners are tight and the speeds are high.

In any case there do seem to be a few skate brands making some very nice derby quads these days. Bont being one at least for the boots.

[HipnosisV1Games]

ECW > WSL

[chicagomarchingbands]

this is the first time i have seen Loden in the sundog uniform. by the time i started watching she was in the all gold

[999beme]

I always wondered how much of this was legit, and how much was just totally put on.

Either way, it was pretty cool to watch.

[cubanmami11]

They need to bring this show back!!!

[LilBitSnake318]

I loved Roller Jam & still miss it to this day. My favorite Jammers were the Atk Attack & the Quadfather. :)

[Allistertha53]

Nowadays, you'll starting to hear only women in the roller derby. Where are the guys at?

[PoobahSCRG]

@Allistertha53 There's about 20ish men's teams around the country. Men's derby is growing, but considerably slower than women's derby. Here's some reasons: More fans (men and women alike) want to see women play than men. This was just as true in the 1940s and 1970s as it is today. Men have more competitive sports (especially risky contact sports) available to them. And the inescapable and ugly thing is: Stereotypes about men who skate. Worse since the 1990s skateboarder vs rollerblader thing.

[lpydb]

This used to be a guilty pleasure of mine on Friday nights especially when the Quakes played because that meant Amy Craig was on the screen.

[drunkensailor112]

ecw >>>> this

[bananaman22]

wud have been great if it was not fake

[wrestlemaniac82]

4:32 White Pony! If for nothing else, that's why Eric Slopey ruled Rollerjam.

[mentokthemilfspunker]

I wish they'd bring this show back or release them on dvd.

[Spideredge]

Yea I used to think it was real until I saw a flying clothes line off the barricade. After they I was like "heyyyyyyyyy wait a minute!" Even though I loved wrestling at the time, it was too over saturated for a great show.

[gabynum1919]

RollerJam was awesome before they made it plainly obvious that they were doing pro wrestling-style storylines. A trade? Ok. Makes it seem like a legit sport. Long-lost half brothers?? Way too much. Smh.

Again, love RollerJam (RollerDerby)

[quankevin]

I just realized that Kenneth Loge II was a ref BEFORE his character was created at 6:31 and 6:43

[mafiabrett]
