The SmarK Rant for ECW Wrestling on TNN – 03.31.00
Rapidly running out of patience for this show to get any better again but I guess on the bright side there’s only a few months left anyway.
Taped from Kansas City, MO
Your hosts are Joey Styles & Joel Gertner.

Well at least the audio is fixed on this one. The sound now comes from both channels in proper stereo. You can’t take that away from the show at least.

Congratulations to Jag for winning a season of Big Brother so long and dull that I was longing for the relatively brisk pace of a 7 hour Wrestlemania by the time it came to an end after 100 days. Thanks a lot, writer’s strike.
OK, so I kind of gave up on this show a while back after the last PPV, but honest to god real people have asked me to go back and try it again in between bingeing 1984 WWF. And for some reason this show still has the issue on the Network where the audio is only in the left channel. Not gonna lie, the New Jack bump on that show really turned me off continuing for a while.

Man, another episode where the audio on the WWF Network version is messed up and only on the left side for some reason.
Taped from wherever we were last week. Milwaukee I think. Although about half of the show is comprised of footage from the ECW Hardcore TV tapings in Cincinnati anyway.
Your hosts are Joey Styles & Joel Gertner, with no cold open intro this time.

So I bought the Elite Edition of AEW Fight Forever on PS5, and just for fun I want to try streaming it to Twitch because I’ve got an account I never use and some of you might appreciate the early look tomorrow when it releases. I was hoping it would drop at midnight tonight, but NOPE. Stupid work means I gotta miss the actual early release at 9am EST, but I’ll try to play for a couple of hours when I get home from work and before I watch Dynamite. My Twitch channel is at http://twitch.tv/rspwfaq2 and I’ve successfully linked my account to the Playstation network and I think I can muddle through broadcasting it live. Not gonna lie, it might be a trainwreck, I dunno.
Speaking of trainwrecks…

Feels like we’ve been paying a lot of attention to the shiny new KrisPLettuce toys lately so let’s get back to ECW again while that promotion slowly falls apart in their last year of existence.
WHEN WE LAST LEFT OFF: https://www.blogofdoom.com/2023/05/12/the-smark-rant-for-ecw-wrestling-on-tnn-02-04-00/
Rob Van Dam, embroiled in challenging Mike Awesome to ECW World title matches and building to a big main event on the next PPV, suddenly breaks his leg in a freak accident and the entire promotion goes down the toilet as a result.
