:lol: This went about as well as we all knew it would

Let's go through all the awesome highlights

We all know about Sabu

Justin Credible showed up drunk and kicked out.

The event was supposed to start at 7 PM but didn’t start until 7:45 PM

The next match was C.W. Anderson vs. Al Snow. This was booked as a "Purist Dream Match" and in my opinion this match did more damage to the show than any other. The match was very long, or at the least seemed very long. Constant rest holds and cheesy comedy spots. The fans were getting pissed. Imagine a Buff Bagwell/Lex Luger match. I remember thinking that these guys are screwing with us in how bad it was. Chants of "this is awful" and "take it home" throughout the match.

After this match the fans were fed up. There was entirely too much down time and the stuff people came to see was very short. There were loud chants of "refund", "this shows awful!", and "F--- you, Shane." People were very pissed! The guy who was cleaning the ring from the debris got chants of "clean it up asshole, clean it up!"

The last match was supposed to be Sabu vs. Douglas, but ended up being Douglas vs. 2 Cold Scorpio because Sabu was rushed to the hospital that day. Scorpio is still in very good shape and hasn’t lost a step. People hated Douglas by this point. Loud "refund" and "F--- you Shane" chants. A lot of fans walked out almost from the start of this match and people kept leaving throughout this match. The fans who stayed rode Douglas with chants of "We want Bischoff" and "We want Russo" and "just retire!"

Who'd of thought that a bunch of washed up wrestlers would have put on a terrible show? It's not 1998 anymore.

These guys really need to stop already.

The fans are worse for even attending. I was a huge mark for ECW in the 90's, but I'd rather attend a root canal then Extreme Reunion.

Honestly the only thing i was looking forward to on the WWE network that apparently can't get off the ground was replays of old ECW shows. But no way would i attend this piece of shite.

Agreed. Besides, those fans are probably not the kind of wrestling crowd you wanna be near to.

Wrestling nostalgia acts are embarrassing. These guys were great 15 years ago, but none of them age well and the second they step in the ring, they're embarrassing themselves.

The only old guy that I'm ever excited to see anywhere is when Roddy Piper shows up to do Piper's Pit.

No cable outlet wanted them.

They wanted too much money and they didn't feel it would bring in enough money.

It happened, that's why they were all on Smackdown a while ago, but it was never mentioned. It seems like Vince just decided that announcing a network and a show for it was enough to get one.

I doubt the reality show would be at all watchable. They didn't even have the Iron Sheik.

They're looking to launch it in the fall. These are still the problems they have though so I would fully expect it to get delayed again.

Id just assumed they gave up and focused all their "production" on their youtube channel and redesign of their site.
