Taz says ECW "Should Die" and is Critical of ECW Reunion Shows

[BlackoutChamber]

"I dont see anyone trying to redo WCW" well Taz... TNA is doing a good enough job without trying.

[vincentrich]

As John Cena said, Taz is "just another dude who came up short from Red Hook."

[nwolwo]

i dont mind the one night stand ppvs but they should have never done ecw show on wwe

[Nickman32]

Wish somehow I could get every old ECW taping on DVD. I could just watch that all over instead current WWE and TNA.

[Sanguiluna]

@Nickman32 I believe that WWE owns pretty much all of ECW's tape library. You could always do their on-demand service if you don't mind paying. But if the original ECW is something you're really passionate about, I'd say it would be worth the money.

[MrrrrrrrrrANARCHY]

i will admit though TNA hardcore justice was pretty good way better then one night stand 3 an all the extreme rules ppvs an on par with the 2nd one night stand .........btw if you disagree leave your comments to yourself cause its my opinion and i dont give a flying fuck what you have to say about it!!!!!!!!

[MrrrrrrrrrANARCHY]

im a die hard ecw fan i admit when i see all the reunion shows i get chills the hardcore homecoming dvds are trademark old school ecw an not WWE or TNA related!!! but i agree the companies are destroying ecw in an effort to make money off and recreate ecw an it will never happen TNA, and WWE as a fan let it die dont disembowel humiliate an disgrace the legacy anymore after the and the second one night stand just cause of terry, tommy and mick) let it go let the fans keep the memories of ecw.

[ctt4lfecw]

@WWEGameFan lol Hardcore Homecoming was shit

[22centman36]

Tazz is huge right now. he needs to get on a diet and start a weight reduction program. He is juse upset that new people want to carry on legacies.

[IpponDropkick]

@22centman36 He's not a wrestler. You're comparing him to wrestlers. He's not that huge for an old man with a desk job.

[bryanero]

tna tries to recreate wcw

[ThisIsSrsBsnsMan]

@bryanero How?

[thebuckrogers22]

u know who i wanna hear a shoot vid from bubba ray and devon. i know they have lots to say

[JenovaNEXUS]

Was the guy interviewing Taz former WWE Ref Jimmy Korderas?

[blackrock316]

@JenovaNEXUS yea

[arnez8706]

ECW shoulda died at One Night Stand 2005

[jackhovatter]

@arnez8706 I agree that was one great last hurrah.Its Ric Flair syndrome despite being great they refuse to bow out with some grace and dignity left

[clipsryan]

When WWF died (in my opinion), atleast the name changed. I can atleast say I'm a WWF fan and be happy about it. They should'nt have still called ECW ECW when it died being bought off by Vince "heart of ice" McMahon. WWE and the WWE ECW was a way of trying to trick the old school fans while tricking the new ignorant fans who are sadly the majority.

[PureDynamiteKid]

Tazz, the biggest star ECW ever had is spot on. No one wants to see Tommy Dreamer and Rhino beating the shit out of each others washed up arses anymore

[JXtreme85]

TAZ is wrong, he said he sees nobody trying to re-create WCW. TNA tries to re-create WCW every Thursday Nights and once a Month every Sunday.

[TCW07]

@JXtreme85 my friend just because hulk hogan and eric are apart of a company that means its WCW 2.0? no it doesn't if anything TNA is trying to find its self in a world where everyone calls them copy cats and wwe rejects.Do you think it's easy for them? No, not all . lately they have been doing it and i'm happy that they are. wwe last night on raw, pretty much showed their new generation is in full swing so does that mean they are trying to recreate 1996 all over again....no.

[clipsryan]

@JXtreme85 You can't have a company recreate another company even if you have some of the stars. I honestly feel TNA is a hybrid of all 3 companies which is nice but it always seems to be missing something. This is a very troubling time in pro wrestling cause it's a collision of old and new where pretty much every idea has been made and old school fans are still young enough to NOT wanna let go of their favorite stars. I'm sticking with old school tapes and dvds.

[jakedge]

this is why taz has always been my favourite of all time, he was a killer back in his prime, and was always very smart outside the ring. he also understands why its important to put the young talent over by not hogging the spotlight

[SVSR2011]

wow this was definitely shocking to hear taz say that. i feel ecw was a rebelmeet rebel type of atmosphere. everyone shot from the hip with no b.s. writer tell them what to say. stone cold and rvd as well as taz and the ecw originals just there fame from ecw cause evryone had respect and admired each other workmanship and ability in the ring as well as interviews or promos. wwe completely shit on there legacy and hard work so ecw was the proving ground of what hard work meant.

[RKOyouALL]

WWE tried(not really xD) to recreat ECW and TNA trys to recreat WCW

[MrDivalover1]

@RKOyouALL yeah wwe did in 2005 with ons 2006-2009 on scifi for almost 4 years. I mean vince did that so he can make more money and vince's ecw was terrible. Ecw died in 2001 and that is end of ecw.

[RKOyouALL]

@MrDivalover1

No i know WWE "tried" to recreate ECW, but i meant that they didn't really try to recreate it, they actually tried to destroy it cause "WWECW" was soo shitty =/

[dgenerate707]

@RKOyouALL but at least Some of the WCW people actually run the Company, WWE/Vince conned everyone into believing we would let Paul, Taz, and Tommy run it but then put his bitch daughter in charge and messed it up. TNA did a better job than WWE/WWF and they tried three times 2001, 2005 and 2006

[steiner8burgerston]

@dgenerate707 when Stephanie was in charge ,she made ECW into a WRESTLING show, u dumbass not some stupid,silly hardcore 24/7 shit that only appeals to drunken idiots and retards who know nothing about wrestling

[dgenerate707]

@steiner8burgerston Sure she didn't not once did I see and awesome match on par with Jerry Lynn vs RVD or Eddie vs. Dean. Contrary to the WWE rewritten history the ECW that existed between (1992 - 2001) wasn't just meaningless violence, they had awesome storylines and great concepts hat also helped WWF and WCW. WWE had a winning formula when they first brought it back but just like the Invasion and the n.W.o storyline they screwed it up.

[steiner8burgerston]

@dgenerate707 how did WWE screw up the nWo? fans refused to boo Hogan, Hall was a drunk, Nash was always injury prone, Not WWE's fault, inVasion? the top stars in WCW would have rather sit n wait for their contracts to expire rather than work, still same pay, Not wwe's fault, try again..how many more seats did RVD/lynn and EDDIE/DEAN bring?sure if ECW was about wrestling , I'm sure they'd be the reason why ECW grew, but it didnt, QUALITY MATCHES MEAN SHIT, sad but rue, Attitude Era best example

[dgenerate707]

@steiner8burgerston Wasn't n.W.o supposed to work with Vince to kill WWF? Didn't they jump Austin and The Rock yet no one else on the Roster came to help them out, makes perfect sense. Why would they come to WWF when they seen a monumental feud get turned into the 4th Mcmahon Saga. Once again both started off awesome but got ruined. If quality matches don't mean shit then WCW would've never had great undercard matches.

[steiner8burgerston]

@dgenerate707 umm like i said before in my last comment re-read it and also the draft took place which left Hogan to Smackdown!, nWo on RAW was set to feud with Undertaker, while gathering more members.. yea, y2j,radicalz,austin,etc jumped ship, cuz their undercard matches weren't appreciated, Jericho talks about it in Eddie's dvd

[dgenerate707]

@steiner8burgerston Im talking pre attitude with the cruiserweights, And no the n.W.o killing the WWF storyline took place before the draft

[steiner8burgerston]

@RKOyouALL umm hey stupid if WWE "tried(not really xD) to recreate ECW then they would've hardcore matches all the time...that simple, what WWE did was make ECW into a WRESTLING show, not some drunken,bingo hall,redneck,stupid shit

[vincentrich]

@RKOyouALL

WWE tried to Recreate ECW for the 1st and 2nd One Night Stand. After that, ECW was just another WWE brand. It had nothing in common with the show from the 90s.

[TheJdc34life]

well if only tna could get as over as ecw did. tna has the talent and the tools, they need to get rid of the albatrosses, eric bischoff, hulk hogan, vince russo, and dutch mantell. dixie carter needs to come to terms that she dosen't know what's best for her company, she needs to find guys who know how to get the most out of each and every piece of talent they have. otherwise tna will die before the end of next year, that is just how i feel.

[HungryJack215]

Agree 100% The ECW Reunions should have been over with the night RVD beat Cena in New York. It truly was ECW's best vs WWE's best and ECW won! That's the way it should have went out.

[ICCWfreak]

Right After Wrestling Podcast!!

[BYOSProductions]

SPEAK THE TRUTH TAZZ!

[Cidaldragon]

The only thing that put ECW up there was they changed and made a new form of wrestling and that they were the only buisness that could "Out Do" themselfs week-in, Week out..... WWE could not do it, WCW tryed and fail on several occasions and TNA are currently trying to do the same.... ECW will never die, The fans of ECW will never die.

[finisher619]

no one trying to re-create wCw?

Evolution(but it worked)

Fourtune(only recreate fourhorsemen once)

Immortal(nWo[fair enough they took over nitro])

If anyone is allowed to recreate wCw at least let it be the ppl with the rights to.

[VoorkJTV]

@finisher619 refuse to believe immortal is an nWo copy until they form the Immortal Wolfpac!
