Essential.
WWE's purchase of the ECW library, along with WCW's, has meant that a good deal of quite brilliant DVDs spotlighting the likes of Steve Austin and Mick Foley have been produced. In 2005, four years since the company's closure, that spotlight was placed onto ECW. The result, The Rise And Fall Of ECW, is the WWE's best-selling DVD, and for good reason.

Whilst being a WWE product, there's a certain degree of bias - and of course, several key players like Shane Douglas, Tod Gordon and Joey Styles aren't interviewed - this DVD is just about as good as it could possibly be expected to be, unless by some miracle Franchise Productions and WWE decide to collaborate. Everyone WWE can think of that's willing to be interviewed is there - Dreamer, Paul Heyman, the Dudleyz including Spike, Rob Van Dam, Mick Foley - as well as a number of individuals you wouldn't expect to be as vital to the story, like Eric Bischoff (who continues his new trend of likeability here by making several excellent points) and Jerry Lawler, whose heel run in ECW in 1997 was phenomenal.

Just about all of the key ECW moments are covered, from Mass Transit to Barely Legal to The Night The Line Was Crossed to the eventual shutdown. Heyman shows himself to be somewhat in denial about the state ECW would be in come 2005 had they not shut down, and as with any 'rise and fall' the fall can be somewhat depressing. But the highs, the lows, the thrills, the spills are all part of the ECW story and it's a fascinating DVD that's better off for its warts-and-all account (although obviously, there's no mention to its 2001 revival during the botched InVasion angle).

This is an amazing portray of the original ECW not like the macmahon product we are forced to watch nowadays! this dvd shows the original ECW rise to the top of the buisness ( in terms of pure brilliance ) and then the hard times that followed. overal i definetly recomend this dvd it will not disapoint, even if your not an ECW or even wrestling buy this to learn what everyone loved about the extreme reveloution! this also features some great matches the best probrobly being Rob Van Dam VS Jerry Lyn. it dosnt dissapoint!
