the shield talking about UnderTaker's undefeated streak makes me mad. i can see it now that Taker will lose his streak after long fight with punk, when the lights suddenly go out, the shield attacks Taker, and then punk easily covers for the win when the lights come back on.

or all that happens and when the lights come back on the shield are all lying down for the count and then taker defeats punk to continue the most ridiculous thing in wrestling undertaker wins @ WM.

[baseballplyrmvp]

ya i thought of that after i shut down my computer. Taker is the most respected wrestler in the business, so what he wants, he'll get from vince and triple h. and i dont think he'd just throw the streak away on a match like that. however, punk winning could further his whole "best in the world" gig, so idk.

RIP Paul Bearer. One of the greatest managers in pro wrestling history.

[NatureBoy]

I agree, I have always been a fan of his work. These two videos remind me of the first few times I remember seeing Ric Flair on WWF/E TV. RIP Paul Bearer.

[CLW]

love me some Paul Bearer R.I.P.

The only way this happens is if Taker wants it to happen that way. I'm convinced, at this point, that Taker's streak will never end. And he'll pass the Taker name onto someone else, and they'll continue the streak after Calaway retires.

Yeah I'm going to get it ... first going to wait to see how much they put on Netflix. With Taker's streak, they put the whole DVD on there. Most of the time, they just put the documentary on.

Spoiler: show

UNAUTHORIZED ECW DOCUMENTARY BARBED WIRE CITY TO HOST PREMIERE SCREENING AT ECW ARENA 4/20!!! BWC Films is proud to announce the internationally famous ECW Arena as the venue for the world premiere of their documentary film, Barbed Wire City, on Saturday night, April 20th in Philadelphia, PA. "This is the moment I've been waiting for since last summer," John Philapavage, one of the filmmakers behind Barbed Wire City, said. "It took a little longer than I thought, but it feels right for this to be the venue for our premiere screening."

The Arena, which has undergone several renovations and name changes over the last decade-plus, was home to the original Extreme Championship Wrestling from May 1993 until the company's final Philadelphia show in December 2000. Sitting on the corner of Swanson and Ritner Streets in South Philadelphia, the building has been closed since January of 2012. For one night only-April 20th, 2013-the venue (Asylum Arena aka ECW Arena) will open its doors to fans once again for this special screening.

"I didn't grow up a wrestling fan," Kevin Kiernan, the other filmmaker behind Barbed Wire City, commented, "but John (Philapavage) took me to a show at the (ECW) Arena the last year the company was in business. It was actually within the first month of filming, thirteen years ago. So finishing everything up there just feels right. That building is the emotional center of that movement-the company we chronicle in this film-so showing it there just made so much sense."

Tickets for the premiere, as well as video clips, DVD pre-order, news, and other merchandise are available at the fully-launched official film website, barbedwirecity .com

"I can remember fantasizing about a premiere there when I was twenty," Philapavage laughs. "I'm thirty-two now. It took some time, but it finally fell together. I can't think of a better place to be in the world on April 20th.

Barbed Wire City is an unauthorized documentary film studying the subculture and story of defunct pro wrestling promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling. The promotion rose to prominence from humble beginnings in 1992, had a massive effect on the wrestling boom of the late 90s, and went bankrupt in early 2001.

I want to see this when it is released on DVD.

Wow that's insane! Back in the Attitude Era (a much better product) it was like $40-$50 (if memory serves) and we still had to get a group of guys together to split the costs.

Are you confusing Reid for David? Reid was only 24 or 25.
