XPW After The Fall DVD Review

XPW was a short-lived promotion run by porn entrepreneur Rob Black, featuring his other half Lizzie Borden and a host of the US's garbage wrestlers and ECW/WCW/WWE stars.
This DVd is one of the many that appeared after the promotion folded.
The 2 and half hours of action on offer has its good points. There are some nice appearance sby the likes of Public Enemy, Chris Candido, Shane Douglas, Terry Funk, Sabu, Tammy Sytch and Abdullah the Butcher, alongside such indie stalwarts as Tracy Smothers and XPW's homegrown wrestlers.
XPW matches were usually blood baths, the action often spilling onto the arena floor and the fans loved it.
This disc features a host of such matches, the production values are not up to much, but the energetic in-ring action and lively commentary more than make up for that.
If you were a fan of ECW in its original format and ethos, then you will savour the brutal and in your face style of approach the XPW company had.

on sale now and reasonably priced too.
