Review: Going Down In A Blaze of Glory� - Guilty as Charged 2001 was ECW's last Pay-Per-View before filing for bankruptcy and heading up to the big wrestling ring in the sky. While the pay-per-view card was comprised of a bunch of "WHO are theys?????" and seemed to be booked together at the last minute, the matches themselves were wrestled very well in ECW's signature high work rate, high spot fest style that made them famous. Overall, it was great for what it is, 2 hours or so of great adrenaline pumping ooohing and aaaahing entertainment. Here's the rundown of the matches featured on this DVD: THE MATCHES Televised on January 7, 2001 from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City Your hosts are Joey Styles, Joel Gertner and Cyrus the Network Virus 1. Show introduction ring promo by Joey Styles and Joel Gertner with Gertner giving his patented (and to date) most filthy overt sexual laden intro yet. 2. Match 1: Joey Matthews and Christian York vs. Jerry Lynn and Cyrus: Non-match as the Baldies ambush York and Matthews for Lynn and Cyrus. A few spots were gotten off by York and Matthews but it was otherwise a rubbish segment. DUD 3. Jerry Lynn promo followed by the ECW opening montage 4. Match 2: Danny Doring and Roadkill (champs) defending against Hot Commodity (EZ Money and Julio Dinero) w/Elektra and Chris Hamrick: Great in-ring action from all participants with great double team maneuvers and otherwise innovative moves as is the norm for ECW. 4 stars 5. Match 3: Nova vs. Chris Hamrick: Impromptu match as Nova runs-out and attacks Hamrick. Decent match between the two with cool spots and action also featuring appearances by Chris Chetti, Lou E. Dangerously and Spike Dudley. 3 3/4 stars 6. Steve Corino (w/ Jack Victory) promo 7. Match 4: C.W. Anderson vs. Tommy Dreamer in an "I Quit Match:" GREAT submission/hardcore plunder match. Lots of weapons, lots of submission wrestling. Definitely one of the best matches on the PPV in my opinion. 4 1/2 stars 8. More sexually innuendoed backstage hijinks backstage with Steve Corino, Jack Victory, Francine, Justin Credible and Missy Hyatt. 9. Match 5: Yoshihiro Tajiri/Mikey Whipwreck (w/Sinister Minister) vs. the FBI (Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke w/Sal E. Graziano) vs. Super Crazy and Kid Kash in a #1 Contenders match for the tag belts: Another great match with TONS of high spots, double team maneuvers, etc. The first half of the match was more of a spot fest, but the action and drama picked up in the second half. 4 stars 10. Sandman promo 11. Match 6: Simon Diamond and Swinger (w/ Dawn Marie, the Blue Boy and Jasmine) vs. Chilly Willy and Balls Mahoney: Match starts off with a bunch of promos. Non-match anyway as Rhino came down and kills everyone. Great if you're into violence but otherwise a DUD match. 12. Rhino promo 13. Match 7: Steve Corino (w/Victory) vs. Justin Credible (w/Francine) vs. Sandman for the Heavyweight Title in a Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Canes match: Decent match with TONS of hardcore plunder spots with all the weapons. 3 3/4 stars. 14. Post-match antics with the Baldies and Rhino. 15. Match 8: Impromptu match between Rhino and Sandman for the title. As per norm with Rhino, TONS of violence. DUD 16. Match 9: Impromptu main event, Jerry Lynn vs. Rob Van Dam: Typical match between these two. A little slow at the beginning but there were tons of high spots, chain wrestling and overall great action. 4 stars 17. Promo by Corino and Credible declaring themselves the "New Impact Players." DVD Features: The DVD contains match history write-ups by Jim Johnston III, the same guy who did the ECW website and the previous ECW DVDs. Overall, the match histories give good background info on the storylines that led up to the matches and are a good read prior to viewing the matches themselves. THE VERDICT: Overall, some (justifiably) complained that some of the matches were complete rubbish and a waste and things seemed to have been "stitched" together with a lot of impromptu match-ups. While true, the Pay-Per-View itself served its purpose. It was entertaining. For everyone rubbish match there were two entertaining matches. The matches that were done were done VERY well (the tag title match, submission match and 3-way tag match in particular). Overall, while the show itself may have had the stated shortcomings, the show itself was very entertaining and is therefore worth the watch. Though ECW was indeed dying, it didn't go out with a wimper but rather in a blaze of glory. In sum, whether rented, borrowed or bought, this show is... Recommended Review: ECW Gulity as Charged 2001 review - One of the best wrestling events of 2001. wrestling-wise better then WWE's ECW. My favorite match was the "I Quit" match between Tommy Dreamer & C.W. Anderson which was a good reminder of the infamous "I Quit" bout between Magnum T.A. & Tully Blanchard from NWA Starrcade 1985. The RVD-Jerry Lynn closing bout while not as good as their matches,it was still great brawl to end on. The 3 way T.L.C.C. World title match was just as hardcore as any ECW bout on the card. The rest were ok. Waaay wrestling-wise better then WCW's last PPV Show (Greed) or WCW's last Nirto show for that matter. Even the last-minute title between Rhino & [information unavailble] had better wrestling then most of the matches on WCW's last Nirto card. I give this PPV a 9 out of 10.

ECW Gulity as Charged 2001 review
One of the best wrestling events of 2001. wrestling-wise better then WWE's ECW. My favorite match was the "I Quit" match between Tommy Dreamer & C.W. Anderson which was a good reminder of the infamous "I Quit" bout between Magnum T.A. & Tully Blanchard from NWA Starrcade 1985. The RVD-Jerry Lynn closing bout while not as good as their matches,it was still great brawl to end on. The 3 way T.L.C.C. World title match was just as hardcore as any ECW bout on the card. The rest were ok. Waaay wrestling-wise better then WCW's last PPV Show (Greed) or WCW's last Nirto show for that matter. Even the last-minute title between Rhino & [information unavailble] had better wrestling then most of the matches on WCW's last Nirto card. I give this PPV a 9 out of 10.

ECW: Guilty as Charged 2001
The only reason this pay-per view is being released over all the other pay-per view's is because it is the last ECW event that was viewable around the world (or at least North America). Though it was obviously not their greatest show ever, frankly it wasn't even average, but this is a must have for any ECW fan and any wrestling fan, for that matter. If I could give it three and a half stars I would but I can't and it would pain me to much to give something with the letters ECW on it three stars so I'm settling on four. Christian York, Joey Matthews vs. Cyrus, Jerry Lynn - Match never really happens, the Baldies strike York and Matthews and Lynn finishes them off with a Cradle Piledriver. ... ECW World Tag Team Championship Danny Doring, Roadkill (c) vs. Hot Commodity - Not a bad match, a few missed spots but hit the ones that counted. I'm a fan of all these guys and they weren't putting in a 100%, I've seen them do better. (**) Nova vs. Chris Hamrick - Without all the outside shinanigans this would have been an alright match, but the involvement of Chetti, Spike, and Lou E. Dangerously ruined it. ... I Quit Match Tommy Dreamer vs. C.W. Anderson - Tommy Dreamer is a guy who was never given a chance to shine during the WWF Invasion angle, a match like this one and the even better one previous to this pay-per view would have really launched him into the company. Great technical wrestler from C.W., great original brawling from Tommy, all together great match. ... Three Way Dance Full Blooded Italians vs. Kid Kash, Super Crazy vs. Mikey Whipwreck, Yoshihiro Tajiri - This match has a title shot on the line and each team looked like they really wanted it. Great spots in this one and near 15 minutes long just as the I quit match. Isn't it great to see 15 minute matches again unlike the dribble we see in the WWF. ... Johnny Swinger, Simon Diamond vs. Balls Mahoney, Chilly Willy - Pointless match to get Rhino over as he destroys all four men quite easily. (*) ECW World Heavyweight Championship Steve Corino (c) vs. The Sandman vs. Justin Credible - Not bad match, but not great. Big disapointment, especially after the double jeopardy match a while back which was one of the best matches of 2000. This certainly wasn't what I wanted to remember ECW by. ... ECW World Heavyweight Championship Sandman (c) vs. Rhino - Pretty short, once again Rhino pretty much cleans house as Sandman is fatigued. ... Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn - It would've been a lot cooler if Rhino agreed to face RVD tonight but only after he beat Jerry Lynn and then Rhino beat RVD and started a feud but I guess I'm the booker. Good match but it's not nearly as good as the Hardcore Heaven bout, but decent. ...
