On this week’s Super Show, Steven Graham is joined by Ben Morse (of P2BN’s Main Event & Marvel.com) and Dave Musgrave (of the Wrestling Culture podcast) to open up the Extreme Vault for this first time to discuss ECW Barely Legal. As always we give our recommendations.

Everybody let me know how it sounds, I tried to get my voice closer to the Ben & Dave's voice with some editing.

Gives me a reason to watch the ECW PPV's. Been a long time.

Going to record another show tonight, a top 6 list on Dream Tag Teams with Kris Zellner and MFoy. If you have a question that you want answered, post it here. We'll answer anything.

This sounds fun, I'll try and take a listen to this next week.

Gave this a listen earlier, really enjoyed it. Nice to get a strong baseline established on where ECW was in Spring 97.

 

I was wondering what you thought of a commonly held belief (back then, anyway) that ECW had peaked artistically at the end of the summer 96 and never reached those heights again......

I listened to this while assembling the pack n play and enjoyed it. I agreed with all on most of the big points except MOTN. I think the show overall is more successful than looking at each individual match.

Mick, I know you didn't ask me but I would argue that the build to Hardcore Heaven 97 is when the company peaked with the Lawler stuff. Everything so far after that have I seen has become too convoluted.

Open to all Chad

Chad, you are totally invited to be on the Hardcore Heaven show when Ben and I record in August.

Agreed with much of what Chad said.

 

As a fan, I was never as invested in ECW after the blow off to Lawler and Dreamer. The match itself is just a fantastically fun brawl. Overbooked to the hilt, and it's a cluttered mess structurally. But it's freaking phenomenal to just kick back and watch. The near falls are tremendous. The heat Jerry generates is nuclear. And the Jake sighting is the topper.

 

And hell. In fact, I think I've just talked myself into giving it another look soon.

 

But yeah. Good listening right here, as usual. The ECW reviews clearly aren't destined for a long shelf life, but they're damn sure fun enough for the meantime.
