Weed is a drug dummy

[@Jame5man]

blacksixspeed alcohol does not make you crash into school buses. Alcohol doesn’t make you do anything. It impairs judgment but you still need to make the choices. Oxygen is a drug in the true definition of the term and it’s use as one is strictly medical. Marijuana can cause anxiety, panic, impaired attention and memory, an increased risk of psychotic symptoms, the inability to think clearly and an increased risk of accident. It also impairs your driving with THC being the most commonly found drug in the blood of drivers involved in vehicle crashes. Much of the data surrounding cancer risk and mental health is inconclusive and heavily debated. Basically what I’m I trying to get to is that the fact that being drunk increases your chances of getting in a car crash and the fact that oxygen is used to treat inflammation and infections is completely irrelevant to any arguments pertaining to the use and legality of weed.

Mathew Barrie look on the bright side , to this day he is still the only man in company history to hold the ECW world title and WWE title simultaneously 🐐!

[@twig8523]

I was peak IWC smark through all this. & yeah Kurt was a big "get" that gave hope that wwECW might not be the disaster that it ultimately was. Angle on the brand gave people who remembered/cared to learn that ECW wasn't all blood & guts but that workrateee~!!¡! was hardcore too.

The big show was at his absolute best in this ppv! when he turned up and destroyed everyone that is the way big show should of been portrayed all his career.

Probably because he has done ECW One Night Stand 2005 before.

[@ShadowBaofu]

This was one of the few shows I had the pleasure of seeing live at a movie theater. Even got some free swag out of it. Thanks for reviewing this!

[@Hypno_BPM]

what’s ironic is Kurt Angle didn’t want to sign to ECW cuz they did a taped crucifixion but signed to WWF when undertaker basically “sacrificed” several ppl on a cross on RAW around the time he signed with WWF

[@Hypno_BPM]

bigevilworldwide1 well yeah it was a cross in the shape on Takers symbol but it was still told in storyline that it was a sacrifice and it also looked like a crucifixion lol that’s the way i understood takers story line at the time anyways

[@infinitetgaming]

2 days away from my birthday, and you review one of my favorite PPVs as a kid. Thanks for making me feel old.

[@nondjmaster]

Don't forget to include The Whole F'n Show , an event that took place before Hardcore Justice.

[@DashieNegan41]

I'll give it an A as well RVD vs John Cena was my favourite match on that card then Edge and Mick Foley vs Dreamer and Funk.

[@lancethefilmguy9392]

You think that the crowd would have actually riot if he won?

[@DashieNegan41]

@@lancethefilmguy9392 ECW fans have caused trouble before but if Cena did win then yes they will riot.

[@ob_gynkenobi4014]

That match is my second favorite Terry Funk moment. The first being him threatening a horse in WCW!

Always a good day when a classic review is up Much thanks amigo keep up the great work

The Sabu vs. Rey Mysterio was awesome. It definitely shows off their in ring chemistry.

Great Review Brian but I LOVED the Cactus Jack promo clip you played after it was over. Cherry on the sundae!

"then he goes to climb it, presumably for some kind of moonsault that'll kill himself" 🤣🤣🤣Fucking lost my mind laughing.

[@Millennial_Cringe]

Finally seeing myself on a 'classic' ppv review. I really am on the back nine.

[@Pensfan5919]

I finally got around to watching this show, and I have to say this about Angle vs. Orton, they aren't cheering Angle because he's lined up to be the "ECW Hero", they're cheering him because he's one hell of a respected wrestler who can work technical as well as he can hardcore. He's a badass and been positioned as such since his rivalry with Brock in 03, while Orton was only ever positioned as a badass to this point after his match with Foley at Backlash 04.

[@tylerdaviau4069]

"No! They can't fight anymore!!! No! It's OVER!!!" LMFAO!! I laughed for 5 minutes straight

[@NexxOmega]

Sabu and Rey fall through a table: "No, they can‘t fight anymore!" Foley, Edge, Funk & Dreamer get stuck with Barbed Wire, crash through Barbed wire tables: "Fuck, why should we stop them?"

[@scooterboy3371]

I enjoy your soft tone voice and smart analysis, bro keep it up!

[@BSmokeyGaming]

I remember seeing this event back when I was a kid, this event is a solid A+. John Cena earned his stripe in that event, But ECW fans always had to be disrespectful to non ECW wrestlers, they’ll boo when things doesn’t go there way (hence Batista vs Big Show match, that match wasn’t bad, ECW fans just hijack that show).

[@chrisjdgrady]

ECW fans hijacked an ECW show? No way!

[@lancethefilmguy9392]

I often blame them for the popularity of Smarky chants today.

[@TheUltimateVoid]

Great review as always Z-Man!!

[@simoneddy1174]

The reason the ECW fans accepted Angle I feel is that while ECW fans were know ruthless and bloodthirsty they also appreciated good no bullshit wrestling and of all the guys in WWE Angle was the guy who could give them that night in night out Shame Angle was off his tree on painkillers and not long for the promotion maybe ECW based around Angle goes a different direction and doesn't flame out

[@bryantrichardson7913]

I knew it was Edge in black all along when i watched this in 06

[@SteRDLK]

Bryant Richardson was it the spear that gave or it away or that he removed his helmet two seconds later?

[@randalljohnson3152]

If you’re gonna do Hardcore Justice next, can we get a long form Wrestling With Wregret video about Immortal? I feel like that deserves a retrospective since you’ve done a number of videos on the nWo.
