Summary: Good little collection
Review: Pretty good effort from ECW here. Of course, the vampires give all these matches good ratings, that they mostly don't deserve. Giving something five stars means the match is perfect, no flaws whatsoever, and Sabu stopping midmatch to fix his filleted arm does not make a perfect match. That said, there is still some good stuff on here, not as good as Path of Destruction, but still good. The best match on here is probably the Tanaka/Lynn vs. Awesome/Credible tag match. Fast paced match with a hot crowd makes this one good.

Worst match is probably a tie between Funk/Sabu and Francine/Beulah. The former "match" might have been good if Sabu hadn't shredded his arm because both guys have a penchant for violence unmatched by anyone else in ECW at the time. Another pick with this match is the integration of actual wrestling into the match. They probably attempted moves in this match because of people who bitch about them having no moveset, but that just negates the entire point of a barbed wire match: To beat the hell out of your opponent. Unless you enjoy someone attempting self-surgery midmatch, take a pass on this one. The women's match is obviously thrown on their to satisfy the horny teenager contingent, and while it may do it's job something more worthwhile could have been included like Raven/Richards vs. The Pitbulls.

Other Notes: The three way match is pretty boring as Austin is obviously way too mat-based and more talented than the high-flying, spot-oriented Whipwreck and the "I brawl to cover up my crappy skills" style of the Sandman. Flat match.

Taz and Bigelow is okay from a wrestling standpoint and pretty impressive from a entertainment standpoint, although looking back on it, it isn't as impressive seeing as how better bumps have been done since then. Watchable for some okay action and if your interested in why everyone applauds this match because of a previously impressive spot that doesn't stand up now.

The Funk/Sandman vs. Douglas/Jack match is tossed on here to satisfy the gore-hungry. Nothing better than anything you'll see on RAW or SmackDown this week, and for the aforementioned gore-hungry you get to see Funk brand Jack with a steaming branding iron.

Lastly, Tajiri and Psicosis is a great match that should satisfy any wrestling fan, regardless of tastes. Good, fast-paced, high-flying match. Minus a few for the blown top-rope rana, though.

Overall, a good dvd to get, extras include Cactus Jack and Steve Austin giving their respective interviews and Fonzie v. Beulah. Interviews are good but pass on the last one.

Summary: ECW 4ever!!! in Deep Impact
Review: ECW's 2nd DVD/Video release and this one is not dissapointing!! here are the matches

The Sandamn vs. Steve Austin vs. Mikey Whipwreck - Mikey had just won the world title from the sandman thanks to austin. before this match begins they give us a builup to it showing how Mikey won the title and how austin beat up sandman and took his place in a title match in which mikey wins. pretty slow match for ecw!! Mikey saves the first part but when he gets out it's boring!! just a wrestling match. I like those matches but If you are a hardcore extreme fan this math won't float your boat. MY RATING: ***

Sabu vs. Terry Funk in barbed wire match nothing I can say can explain how hardcore and extreme this match is!! I never in my wildest dreams pictured this!!! If you saw The Sandman-Raven barbed wire match on Extreme Evolution this barbed wire match blows that away!! the end is just spine tinggling!! Funk and Sabu get tangled with the biggest thing of barbed wire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you'll be screaming OH MY GOD with Joey Styles MY RATING: *****

Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow regular taz-bam bam match which Taz and Bigelow go through the ring good match anyhow MY RATING: ***1/3

Funk and Sandman vs. Franchise and Cactus GREATEST ECW TAG TEAM MATCH EVER!!!!!!! NUFF SAID MY RATING: *****

Lynn and Tanaka vs. Awesome and Credible can these guys have a bad match if they tried.....definitly worth the money you spend MY RATING: *****

bOTTOM lINE: ecw LIVES ON FOREVER

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Deep Impact is intense!!!!!
Review: This is my first ECW dvd purchase, and I am absolutely sastified with my purchase. I have heard about ECW doing their best of collection, so I decided to buy one. And Deep Impact has not failed to deliver their trademark matches. First of all, Tajiri and Pichosis is without a doubt among the top five non-hardcore matches in ECW history. And Sabu and the Funker cannot be missed, they are the craziest s.o.b's to put out such an intense match. Taz and Bigelow is also has a ECW trademark in thier match, the ending cannot be missed. If you are an ECW fan, get the collection. I'm planning on buying the other three DVD's.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ECW Deep Impact (DVD)
Review: Another great DVD from ECW and Pioneer Entertainment. A great match between Yoshihiro Taijiri and Psicosis and an outstanding barbed-wire match between Terry Funk and Sabu.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best of the Four?
Review: Quite frankly, I purchased this DVD because it's ECW and they're out of business. My expectations were very low, considering none of the matches had that "classic" aura that surrounds some of the legendary matches on previous tapes. What I got was perhaps the best DVD ECW has released.

Here are the Top Five reasons to purchase this DVD (in no particular order):

1. Funk v. Sabu - Take down the ring ropes . . . put up some barbed wire. The violence in this match is at times disturbing and the end is surreal, as the two men lay immobilized in their own devastation.

2. Taz v. Bigelow - Bigelow battles for the title in his home town of Ashbury Park, NJ. Taz demonstrates phenominal in-ring skill, and Bigelow cements his place as one of the world's most agile big men. The conclusion couldn't have been planned. It just couldn't have.

3. Tajiri v. Psicosis - I fully expected to watch this one time and then never again. Two good workers, but no real heat between each other. I couldn't have been more wrong. This is what wrestling is all about. These two guys put a brick on the gas pedal and tear the roof off the building! Intense, high-risk, technically excellent. Look up "5 Star Match" in the dictionary . . . this is what you'll see.

4. Promo Montage The best "special feature" on an ECW DVD so far. (Aside from hidden features, of course.) Smart, funny, serious as a heart attack . . . some of the greatest promos in ECW history.

5. Fonzy v. Beulah McGuillicutty Men vs. women matches are terrible. Always. This one makes the cut because Fonzy is out of his mind. When most men in the WWF wouldn't sell (pretend to be hurt by) for Chyna, this guy fought a 110 lb. woman and left wearing the crimson mask of pain. And I bet he got paid about $100 for his efforts. Unreal.

Best of the four? Tough call, but check it out and see for yourself.
