You gotta be kidding me...

I just read this off a wrestling website today and it just annoys me to no end:

-"As we noted yesterday, the ECW DVD features tons of edits including that of The Dudley Boyz and Sandman's introductions. The Sandman's 'Enter Sandman' theme is a generic version and to make matters worse, the crowd noise is muted. There is also no cussing on the DVD until the end where you can hear Sandman say "EC F**king W" clear as day. That's interesting because on the live broadcast of the show, that was edited out. The DVD is listed as TV-14."

That just REALLY freakin sucks. I mean I guess I'm not too surprised at the Sandman thing, b/c I was surprised they even used "Enter Sandman" in the first place but still, they used it so they should just pay Metallica the royalities and be done with it.

Also, it mentions the crowd noise is muted. I don't know if they mean just for the part of us singing along to "Enter Sandman" or for the ENTIRE show. Cuz if it's for the entire show I'm gonna be super pissed. That was one of the things I was really looking forward to seeing/hearing b/c we in the crowd came up with some fun and evil chants.

And I heard a few other things are edited out, and for some reason they added an alternate commentary by JBL of him constantly bashing ECW- What the HELL?!?!?

I had ordered the DVD at Bestbuy and I'm gonna go pick it up from the store later today and watch through it the first chance I get, so I'll report back on how much they screwed around with it.

But just hearing about all these changes is making me want to get my hands on a copy of the original broadcast. Is there ANYONE out there who has the PPV on Tape? Or know of a site I could download the original (cuz I'm sure copies of the DVD will surface online soon and I don't want that version since I will already have it)? If anyone could help me out that would be awesome.

But yeah, here's hoping they didn't mess around with the DVD too much. Trust me, I WILL be back on here to bitch soon if they did.
