Starring: Everyone who was associated with ECW
Production Company: WWE Home Video
Plot: A documentary on the rise and fall of cult wrestling federation ECW
I was waiting to watch this documentary about ECW.
This documentary was extraordinary.
Pros: The cover for the DVD was amazing, I was impressed this film started with shown key players of the promotion and there cosmetology to ECW, all of the former ECW alumni’s given their takes and getting there times memories with the company, they shown a lot of violence’s, sexual innuendos & insanity and they shown how the company rises to the top and fall so far in to bankruptcy.
Cons: Some of the content will not suitable for younger audience, I don’t agree of anything they said at times & I wish there more key ECW wrestlers take part in this documentary.
