Mike Reviews – ECW Hardcore TV Volume 3 “Philly Stake!”

22nd June 2022 by Michael Fitzgerald

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

This week we’re heading back to 1995 for some classic ECW action. This was a compilation of matches and angles from Hardcore TV put together by Laserlight video as they tried to recoup as much money as they could from the ECW tape library. As a result this has fake music dubbed in and we don’t even get the real ECW theme. This came out in 2003 but I’d be shocked if many more of these hit the shelves from that point. I know RF Video have the rights to some of the ECW stuff as they still sell some tapes but I think Laserlight were pretty much done with ECW stuff by the end of 2003.

Mike Reviews – WWF In Your House 9: International Incident

18th June 2022 by Michael Fitzgerald

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Let’s stick with 1996 but jump over to the WWF this week, as we look at this IYH event from July featuring Camp Cornette Vs Shawn Michaels, Ahmed Johnson and Sid in the Main Event. Ultimate Warrior was originally supposed to be on the babyface team, but he ended up getting let go for missing House Shows and Sid got inserted instead.

Elsewhere we’ve got Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs Marc Mero in a King of the Ring rematch and Mankind takes on Henry O. Godwinn, who is subbing in for Jake Roberts. These IYH shows are usually a pretty easy watch as they come in under two hours, so this should be fun enough.

Mike Reviews – CMLL Arena Mexico Programa Especial

15th June 2022 by Michael Fitzgerald

Feliz miércoles a todos!

I’ve never really been a big Lucha guy but CMLL has been putting up some matches on YouTube on their official channel so I decided to give one of them a watch to see if I enjoyed it or not.

I don’t really know much about the roster or even really the main intricacies of the style, but maybe some of the more Lucha versed can fill us in down in the comments section and the rest of us can kind of learn along together with one another?

It might be fun or it might be an absolute disaster. Let’ see which!

Mike Reviews – WCW Great American Bash 1996

11th June 2022 by Michael Fitzgerald

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Seeing as I reviewed an ECW show from June 1996 last week and I haven’t reviewed this GAB show before, I decided to review it this week as it’s a show I generally enjoy and I’m interested to see if it still holds up.

It’s also quite an historically significant one as well, as not only do The Horsemen get a new member but Kevin Nash and Scott Hall show up to set the table for Bash at the Beach and the forming of the nWo the following month.

Plus, we’ve got Benoit/Sullivan and Malenko/Mysterio to enjoy as well!
