I also just remembered when they showed one of Linda's campaign videos on Have I Got News For You. Unfortunately I can't find the clip, but the video featured Kane piledriving Linda on the entrance ramp and Michael Cole screaming "STEPHANIE JUST SLAPPED HER MOTHER!!".

This was interpreted by Ian Hislop as 'vote for us or we'll hurt you".

I'm pretty sure I brought this up years ago here and was informed that it wasn't actually a real campaign video but one someone else had done.

Tomorrow's the big day

quote:

Edge's match on SmackDown this week could be the last of his career.

He spoke with ET Canada ahead of Friday's show in his hometown of Toronto and revealed that his contract expires after he wrestles Sheamus that night. The 49-year-old also said he isn't sure if his wrestling career will continue after.

"Here's what I can honestly say, and this isn't the answer that everybody is going to want: I truly don't know," he responded when asked if Friday will be his final match. "I can with 100% truth say 'I don't know.' And that's strange for me but I don't. I really, really don't. I've put some thought into it, but not a lot."

"This is the last match on my current contract. So, I don't know. I honestly don't know. I probably won't know until I get to the locker room that night and just decompress," he continued.

"I'm going to be 50 in October. It's not easy anymore. Before, what I used to just take for granted to be able to do, now there's a process and there's a fallout, and there's a lot. It's the dream gig but it's getting really hard."

Edge cut an off-air promo on the August 22, 2022 Raw from Toronto and teased possibly retiring in a year's time.

"I'm looking at the calendar, and we usually come here in August. So next August, I plan on seeing each and every one of you. And in a perfect world, we all say goodbye to each other that night," Edge said to the live crowd.

His trainer Ron Hutchinson also noted in a recent social media post that Friday could be Edge's last match

Yeah isn’t alter bridge the band that was just the guys from creed being sick of the singer’s poo poo and making a new creed? I’ve never listened to another song of there’s but that’s just some shameful slumming compared to even a remotely decent rob zombie song.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Torrents of VHS rip quality ECW TV exist. The entire run. Sure, the video quality is rough as hell but it has a charm to it all, feels appropriate for ECW to look so grainy. Worth it to have the audio as broadcast.

What are you looking at?
ECW used a crazy amount of licensed music and never had permission for any of it.

EDIT: Maybe Rob Zombie was okay with it, I remember him doing that "This is Extreme loving Championship Wrestling" bit.

If someone was bored enough they could probably also take whatever upscaled versions are on Peacock or whatever and splice them with the old audio, but I do agree that there some sweet charm in watching it in a shittier quality

It was dumber than that from what I remember. Between The Sheets did several great deep-dives on ECW on their patreon. I'm not subbed right now so can't really go back and find the bit but the gist was that Paul had a friend who ran a public access music video show or something of that ilk & somehow he convinced...someone? (the networks? Record companies? I can't remember) that he had the rights to use the music because that other show had the rights. It seems to not make much sense to me & I'm absolutely remembering at least part of this wrong, but if Bix sees this he can correct me.
