10. The Rise and Fall of ECW
E-C-W! E-C-W! Three letters synonymous with one thing: hardcore. To date, WWEs retrospective of this once great promotion remains their bestselling direct-to-DVD documentary. And its easy to see why. Made with the co-operation of top ECW stars like Taz and the Dudleyz, The Rise and Fall of ECW follows the Philadelphia organisations growth from a small independent promotion through its transformative years under head booker Paul Heyman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3GJx15Dyks There are some fascinating revelations into ECW founder Tod Gordans alleged role in talent poaching for WCW and the cross-promotional deals Heyman was able to secure with WWF in 1995. The most affecting moments arise, however, when wrestlers talk about their departure from ECW for rival promotions. Their stories are tinged with guilt and regret, and at times they appear visibly shaken by the companys downfall. Even Vince McMahon had some touching words to say about his former competitors which is almost worth the cost of the DVD alone.
