1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 It’s the final episode of the last episode of television before heading into the first ever pay-per-view for ECW, a wrestling promotion that is trying to prove that a small independent promotion can do it, can be a viable contender all by itself, with the help of nobody else. Nobody. Nobody except the wide range of wrestlers that owed favours or would work for cheap; the first booker Eddie Gilbert who set the tone for what the show would be; Vince McMahon, who while not outright funding the thing, has helped it along as long as Paul Heyman stopped burying his promotion and focused instead on - after WCW raided ECW’s roster already, allowing him to raid it much more effectively - WCW; and nobody else except for of course Paul Heyman’s Dad’s money I assume (and connections) which helped screw Tod Gordon out of the weekend pissup and hotel orgy-hosting nonstop party he had founded that was masquerading as a wrestling company. It’s that pivotal final episode of television before that pivotal first pay-per-view, &quot;this Sunday night&quot;, at 9 PM, across America, and presumably through piracy and early internet messageboards, across the Globe to a certain extent. Barely Legal. You’ve got to start that episode right, with a powerful piece of attention-grabbing footage that will make even the most jaded channel-scrolling stoner to shake the cheeto dust out of their eyes, sit up in their Barca Lounger and say hey… I should see if I can steal Barely Legal off the Internet. And what better way to start that episode of television than with… Oh, it’s the Pitbulls. It’s time for Luke Pennock &amp;amp; Brendan Flaherty to review episode 205 and 206 of ECW, from April 1st &amp;amp; 8th, 1997!
