WWE To Release 'Biggest Matches in ECW History' DVD in June
The 3 disc DVD set will feature the 25 greatest matches in ECW's history.
WWE will release a brand new ECW DVD this year titled "WWE: Biggest Matches in ECW History", which will feature the 25 greatest matches in the history of the company. WWEDVDNews has got their hands on a release list from Shock Entertainment, the official company distributor in Australia, that has the DVD set listed with a release date of June 6th. Presumably that will also be released around the same time worldwide. The set is listed as a three-disc DVD and two-disc Blu-ray release. Shock have the synopsis; "All new 3 DVD set, collecting The 25 greatest matches in ECW History! Extreme Championship Wrestling ran from 1992 to 2001, founded in Philadelphia. Their weekly TV show Hardcore TV, ran from 1993-2000, and they also ran 21 Pay-Per-View events from 1997-2001. ECW was known for its hardcore and irreverent style, and its rowdy and raucous audiences. It launched Sports Entertainment legends such as Paul Heyman, Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman, Taz, Terry Funk, Sabu, Rob Van Dam, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Cactus Jack, Raven and more." With WWE having an end date of 2001 on their set, that would indicate that this will be Paul Heyman's true ECW and not the WWE version that ran for some years later. Whether or not they will try and avoid including ECW matches that have featured on previous WWE sets (such as The Rise and Fall of ECW or ECW's Bloodiest Matches Ever) is unknown. And yes, WWE are really trying to tell us that ECW started the career of Terry Funk and Dean Malenko...
