ECW - Raven Crucifies The Sandman

[CockyR4]

Oh man religious people hurted pro-wrestling before kids could.

[tdaniels060]

iconography?

[AnvilPro100]

Raven did it better in my mind

[TheExscreamo]

i heard about this from my friend at church and was shocked

[mmscott9]

Angle's not religious, he just didnt want to ruin his image

[Cyrptos]

@mmscott9 so a crucifixion would ruin his image more then racist and stupid wwe moments?

[swamperjuo]

edjar10, who was offended by this and not the wwf version? I've yet to see anyone.

Angle is just a Christian piece of shit. Nothing new.

[Josabeech]

Kurt Angle's three gold medals disliked this.

[123MLewis]

who cares just cus jesus had that done (if he was real) it is offence fuck that

[WiggyWarriorI]

Religion only starts war. If Raven got crucified on a Jewish star of David nobody would have cared.

[br00t4lbreakdownzfuk]

dude, who gives a fuck? its all a bunch of fairytales anyway, good on Raven for doing this!

[bevinboyz]

@TrollingPatrolling Maybe if they Stoned him it woulda been alright.

[Evenflowist314]

Oh my God, who gives a shit? Jesus wasn't the only one to be crucified, just ask the Romans. Grow a pair, kids.

[LazyMan9000]

@Evenflowist314 I think that's why people are so touchy about that shit - what with most of Western Civilisation being heavily influenced by the Greeks and the Romans. Personally, I thought it was pretty funny myself - I remember thinking: "What if Jesus had blonde hair and a beergut? Would people be as supportive of him?" My eventual conclusion was: no, no they wouldn't. xD

[Lopez01ism]

I remember reading this in The Rise and Fall of ECW

[TrollingPatrolling]

they sayto be religious people but pay to see men beat the shit out of each other. juuummm??? very religious right?

[TheFileSharersRedux]

@TrollingPatrolling They aren't actually beating eachother up, you know that, right?

[123MLewis]

@TheFileSharersRedux u do know ECW at that time was real right

[RLBacklund]

That's SO Raven...

[MMZen]

Fucking blue meanie is so worthless "he's a catholic and was offended" funny as shit as he tries to portray himself as some kind of black metal warrior now or some bullshit and can only get laid by some porn star whore who's had 5 billion AIDS infested loads inside her.

[kryceksangel]

@MMZen Are you talking about his exwife Jasmin St. Clair?

[MMZen]

@kryceksangel

wow you're quick. Let's get you on jeopardy.

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

This footage made completely loose my respect for "hardcore" fans of ECW. I think any ECW fans who were offended by this should stop whining about how "extreme" and "hardcore" you are because you are as(if not worst than) little PUSSY as any little child who watch John Cena!!!!!

[GameDeath]

Sandman disliked this.

[blackoutcider]

Raven > Kurt Angle

I really don't think Angle would have fit in anywhere in the ECW roster. Ravens smart, in my opinion it got the point across. WW(F) was already pushing limits on televison yet if you just "edit" a cross an make it into takers symbol its fine, also hanging lol. I will prob get flak for this but... if he would have put sandman on any other religious symbol not that many people would have been "offended"

[frankrizzo51]

Funny stuff.

[RevJoshsFunhouse]

That's why I loved Raven. If you're not offended by the extreme violence of ECW you have no right to be offended by "religious iconography." I'm offended by the rampant hypocrisy, not the use of crucifiction. But, I have to say, as a Satanist I love anything that slaps religion in the face. Hail Satan, fuck Jesus, shut up and enjoy ECW

[bullybrew]

this is classic, i'm catholic and i'm not offended by this. it's called entertainment folks. they didn't come out and bash catholics, it's tongue in cheek meant to have shock value. no more no less. it's a shame we live in such a sterile p.c. culture where everything is off limits for fear it might "offend" someone. and for those that i offended here with my remark i deeply don't give a hoot.

[DWiens421]

Yeah, the barbed wire crown meant to symbolize the crown of thorns Jesus wore really kind of does take it a little too far, and this is coming from someone who is not religious.

[satanichrist666]

This is bullshit. Kurt didn't accually care and has said as much. This is fabricated WWE bullshit. Notice Paul and Rven were't interviewed about this.....and I doubt the fans cared that much. I do know that taz was offened and they were gonna do an angel with him and Kurt and thats the only reason anything was said.

[Rockleelives777]

i dint see it as too offensive until i saw sandmans SON being crucified with his father......

[satanichrist666]

@Rockleelives777 Funny thing is thats accually ravens son

[Rockleelives777]

@satanichrist666 wat the heck!

[satanichrist666]

@Rockleelives777 In real life thats ravens kid. Not sandmans

[Rockleelives777]

@satanichrist666 interesting. thats just... wow

[jaketno]

@satanichrist666 how do you know?

[satanichrist666]

@jaketno Cause He's said it was. Search on youtube for ravens side of this crucifixion angle. I don't think sandman has a son in real life.

[bullybrew]

@satanichrist666 no it's not. that's tyler fullington, jim fullington's aka the sandmans son.

[satanichrist666]

@bullybrew Dude raven has said that that is accually his kid. Now I know Raven has a wife and one or two kids. Look up some Raven interviews about this angle and you'll see what I'm talking about. I might not be 100% right but if I'm lying so is raven

[bullybrew]

@satanichrist666 . i don't know what article or interview you read but i don't think it's true. either way classic angle for the ages!! if you search tyler fullington there is an article from bleacher report. about his first ever pro wrestling match.

[MetalHead4Life94]

If you are offended your a pussy.1st off don't 4get there where 2 others crusified next to jesus.that was the way of punishment back then & jesus was the only 1 nailed 2 the cross sandman was tied like the rest where back then.And besides is EC FUCKIN W what do you expect???

[ronocko]

Once again religion fucks up something awesome.

[InclusiveCreature]

fuck kurt angle

seriously dude, just shut up you uncreative narrow-minded christ god worshiping pussy

[ZAnEPuNKpWnz]

why was this so bad? seriously, get over it!

[MrBigBadBeast1]

@ZAnEPuNKpWnz fuck u people take serious offense to this. That comment says your going to hell. Now you "get over it"

[ZAnEPuNKpWnz]

@MrBigBadBeast1 i'm going to hell?...a fictional place?...*sarcasm* oh no! how will i get over this?!

[xCeRTiFiieDx]

@MrBigBadBeast1 He's going to hell over a Youtube comment? Thats the most outrageous thing I've ever heard.

[Aloverssoulz]

@ZAnEPuNKpWnz I agree.

[edjar10]

so why people didnt say anything about undertaker doing it to stone cold?

bunch of hypocrites

this is brutal

and awsome

[guardianshaven]

@edjar10 I think part of it was because Austin was just on the Undertaker's symbol. With Sandman, they used an actual cross, and put a crown of barbed wire on his head.

That's taking things a bit too far, for the folk who are religious.

[dartter50]

@guardianshaven who gives a shit?

[guardianshaven]

@dartter50 Evidently, the religious folks do.

[dartter50]

@guardianshaven they're idiots

[guardianshaven]

@dartter50 lol

[dartter50]

@guardianshaven yep

[TheFileSharersRedux]

@edjar10 It was a little different man. And you know it.

[BrandTanooki]

@edjar10 Because the cross Raven used looked like an actual cross.

[nath909]

is huk hogan? please tell me

[kryceksangel]

Angle's a hypocrite!

[Hartebreaker84]

@kryceksangel Why is he?? Not sure what you mean cause I don't understand the story.

[jaketno]

@Hartebreaker84 because undertaker crucified steve austin on RAW but Angle went there

[spiritrock67]

known about this for years first time i have ever seen it
