Honestly a great ppv, the main event is worth the price alone and to hear the crowd hate cena. I would say to anyone buy this ASAP!!!

great ppv love the cena vs rvd and great crowd!

ecw ons 2006 was great, the match of the night was the brutal extreme tag match between edge /foley and dreamer/funk overall 9/10

A really good ECW PPV, a couple of filler matches (Balls vs Masato, Tazz vs Lawler) but some amazing matches too. Edge, Folly vs Dreamer, Funk tag match is superb lots of barbed wire & a little bit of fire! The other tag match (F.B.I vs Tajiri, Super Crazy) if great too, with Tajiri on fine form.

The singles matches featuring ECW vs WWE are really good and each ones is different from the other. Mysterio vs Sabu is my favourite although I found the ending a little disappointing. RVD vs Cena follows with match made for by the fans reactions to Cena.

A fantastic PPV 5/5

5 stars aint enough for this PPV, this PPV was amazing, i loved every match, the WWE title match was ofcourse the best, Barely Legal is good too. I would reccommend this DVD toany wrestling fan. ECW! ECW! ECW!

Disk 1 - One Night Stand
Ah, so this is where it began. Where Cena (the 'good guy') got booed unlike any other time before or since. Where RVD finally got what had been due him for a very long time. Where Edge continued his meteoric rise. Where WWE started to firmly play with the idea of ECW coming back.

Well, some of the event is outstanding. Some of it, average. Some of it, appalling. But all of it, fascinating. Some matches (Lawler vs. Tazz) were just a joke and really, I could have done without the 'laughs'. Some seemed a bit strange - Kurt Angle may have been aiming to become the new face of ECW at this point, but a match vs. Orton still placed this match in severely WWE territory, defeating the point of an ECW vs. WWE event. Plus it was standard fare for both, unfortunately.

Where the rest of the DVD shines are in the mix-matches of previously ECW talent with WWE. The Rey / Sabu match had so much to live up to. Many saw it as a disappointment, but to be fair to both, if taken on its own merits, this was almost match of the night. Almost, except Foley / Edge vs. Funk / Dreamer was so charged with emotion and storytelling (albeit gory storytelling...), it just ran away with itself. And Cena / RVD? Cena has such a hard time on this DVD, it's hard not to respect how he manages to keep composed. His match with RVD isn't exactly legendary but it's not bad at all either, concerning the circumstances. So putting these three matches together and you have something extraordinary. The other matches are filler, are average or are just unappealing for whatever reason (which is sad concerning the talent of some of the others).

I hate to say it, I enjoyed One Night Stand but the sum isn't the whole of its parts. Glad we have Barely Legal on the same DVD, then. :)

Disk 2 - Barely Legal

ECW's premier PPV event, and it's a masterstroke. Some of the matches are purely excellent - the Japanese match alone has to be seen to be believed - and the three-way dance is viscious, if you like that sort of thing (I don't, but admire how good it is in it's own context). For me, however, the Lance Storm / RVD match steals it. It's a good, clean match. Purely technical, well told, and showing two young stars desperately trying to break out. Neither of which were always allowed to go 'the whole way' during their WWE tenure (for right or wrong), but were allowed to tell a good story here.

It also has to be said that WWE, owning the ECW / WCW pie now have the chance to release PPVs like this in their Tagged Classics range. I don't know about anybody else but I'd buy them. Sadly, watching Barely Legal here made me realise what we're missing that is stuck in WWE's vaults. So many great matches, so many great PPVs and we're not seeing them. What a shame.

Overall
Well, the ONS 2006 part is decent but average. It wasn't the kick-start ECW (WWE Version) needed, but if you've got some of the better PPVs and want a few outstanding Rey / Sabu / Edge / Foley / Dreamer moments, well, here is the place to come. It's worth the price of admission to see the look on Cena's face when the crowd go ugly (poor Cena!). On the other hand, Barely Legal IS the correct way to kick off ECW on PPV, and Heyman did it right first time there (no matter what else happened to his company).

I'd recommend this alone for Barely Legal, but if you already own it, or want One Night Stand '06 on its own, I'd probably advise to try something better before coming here. If you don't own Barely Legal, however, I'd jump in as quickly as possible and cherish this disk as it juxtaposes both the WWE and ECW approaches to the Extreme, and gives enough classic moments to warrant the price tag between the two PPVs.

this is a must have for any old school ecw fan. it captures the momment when rvd wins his first world heavyweight championship. also you get ecw's first ever ppv on dvd for free.

a great dvd a must have for any ecw fan or a rvd fan

I enjoyed this PPV. The Orton vs Angle match was good, and i loved how Orton played on the crowd throughout. My favourite match was RVD vs Cena but being a Cena fan the reaction he got from the crowd made me cringe! But overall a good show!

Great matches on both discs. Highly recommended to any ecw fan. If you are a big fan of ecw/wwe this is a great one to be in your collection.

ECW One Night Stand was the PPV that re-launched ECW. An it was a great start. Tazz vs. Lawler was to short to say anything about it. Orton vs. Angle was a good Wrestling-Match. The Tag-Match between the FBI and Super Crazy & Tajiri was a ok. Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu was a good Hardcore-Highflying Match. The Match between Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk vs. Mick Foley & Edge was a great Hardcore Match and the best match of the night. Balls Mahoney vs. Masato Tanaka was to short and could have been much better if you have seen Tanaka vs. Awesome from ONS 2005. Finaly the Main Event RVD vs. Cena was a good match and had a brilliant atmosphere.
There are some good extras on this DVD including a ECW vs. WWE Battle Royal.
Another extra is the very first ECW-PPV "Barely Legal" from 1997.
It starts with a Tag Title Match betwenn The Eliminators vs. The Dudley Boyz, whereby The Eliminators are very dominating and showing some artistic double team moves. There followed RVD vs. Lance Storm in a good match. A 6 Men Tag Team Match with Wrestlers from Michinoku Pro Wrestling from Japan was a Highlight of that night. Douglas vs. Pitbull #2 and Taz vs. Sabu are ok. Terry Funk vs. Stevie Richards vs. The Sandman and therefollowed Funk vs. Raven were Hardcore-Battles at it?s best.
This DVD is an absolutly must-have for all ECW and Hardcore fans.

tout simplement enorme !!!!!!!
et en bonus barely legal c'est du pur jus pour les fans d'extreme.
ames sensibles s'abstenir !!!!!

what can i say it was great i loved it.one of the best DVDs ever.i give it 5 stars.10/10

Despite the fact that this ECW PPV was more WWE based, it did not stop it from being a damn fine show. The Taz(ECW spelling) Jerry Lawler bout was a non-match which didn't need to take place. The Kurt Angle open challenge obviously wasn't going to be someone from a 6 sided or 8 sided ring as Paul Heyman hinted at but still Angle's match with Randy Orton was a damn fine match. Orton provokes great heel heat and this was a very good, heavily mat-based bout. Worthwhile encounter and unfortunately the best match these two would produce(there other matches were a let-down.) The FBI vs Super Crazy & Tajiri was not bad. It could've been better but it wasn't terrible. The newly christended ECW Big Show came out and slaughtered these guys in a typical WWE hates cruserweights fashion.

The World title match between Rey Mysterio and Sabu could've been a match of the year candidate and was on course to be. The two had a hard hitting, athletic match. That is until *spoiler alert* that the WWE brought out the most pathetic finish in recent memory and one they HAD to know the ECW crowd would hate. Just listen to the heat it gets.

The 6 person tag match pitting Edge's team vs Terry Funk's team was a fantastic hardcore match. The 6 put on a great stunt-filled hardcore battle and considering Mick Foley's wattered down ability and Terry Funk's age was a sight to see. Not quite sure what to make of Edge's cover in the match with Beulah though. haha.

Not much needs to be said about Balls Mahoney vs Masato Tanaka except the WWE wasted Tanaka's ability after his incredible showing against Mike Awesome last year.

Finally the WWE title match. As a John Cena hater myself, I considered this one of my favourite WWE moments in years. It's not enough to say the crowd hated Cena, they DESPISED him. The crwod throwing the Champ's shirt back at him was hillarious and the secuirty guard who got particularly angry at Cena was funny as hell. The match itself was pretty damn good. Not RVD's best ECW outing but considering he was in there with the limited Cena, I think that was to be expected. Good, fun, match with an awesome post match celebration which went on for ages.

With the dvd comes the Barely Legal PPV. All I can say is that this isn't to everyones tastes. if your a huge John Cena, Batista, Rey Mysterio fan this is not for you. However if your a Edge, Randy Orton fan and love the indies then definitely give this a shot.

One of the years best offerings and a very good show. Definitely own it just for *spoiler alert* RVD's championship victory.

DVD:4 Extras:4
Lawler Vs Tazz is almost a non event(as per Tazz's wishes),so the PPV matches kick off proper with Kurt Angle Vs Randy Orton.A fine technical wrestling match its style is more WWE wrestling than ECW's,which explains the fan reaction to Orton. F.B.I. Vs Crazy and Tajiri is an enjoyable match.The aftermath featuring a rampaging Big show is a highlight.Rey Vs Sabu builds into a fantastic match before it's cheap finish.There are some great spots in this one.The Inter Gender mach is a brilliant hardcore match,Although it appears that some of the match has been edited it's still a brilliant bout.Mahoney Vs Tanaka is fine for what it is.Cena Vs RVD is another brilliant match.Although a lot of the wrestling is of a usual Cena level the fan reaction makes this one to behold.
Extras include the opening segment of ECW's debut on Sci Fi. A dumb and lame angle its hard to believe WWE thought this was the right way to restart ECW.The bonus disc includes Barely Legal 97,ECW's first ever PPV.Highlights include a great wrestling match between RVD and Lance Storm.The International Six Man Tag team match is worth the DVD alone,so good you wont want it to end.the main event is also an enjoyable matc thats backed up by a great story(See the superb Rise + Fall Of ECW).

Bloody amazing, theres so much going on every matcch, I say that the match of the night was definatly the edge foley vs. terry and tommy match, they used evrything in the areana. Amazing stuff going on in this 10/10

Very good PPV with a nice main event and Mick Foley and Edge in a great shape. Nice the Barely Legal DVD too.

This was a great ppv. The best match of the night Mick Foley, Edge and Lita v Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer and Beullah. (Match rating 5/5).

One Night Stand 2006, the first WWE-produced ECW pay-per-view of the year, came a whole year after it's predecessor, an event that was only meant to be a one night only celebration of Extreme antics past, but was so well-received, it convinced Vince McMahon that yet more money could be made out of the ECW legacy and trademarks.

ONS 06 was both a triumph, and a tragedy. A triumph in that, as the precursor to the upcoming ECW television show on the Sci-Fi network, this was a "proper pay-per-view" with storylines, yet still managing to retain that authentic, Classic ECW feel (largely thanks to choosing to hold the show for a second year running in New York's Hammerstein Ballroom). But the event was a tragedy in the fact that, it gave so many wrestling fans false hope. Hope that the notoriously dismissive-of-non-WWE-sports-entertainment McMahon family would stay true to the Extreme ideals for this permenant revival. As recent history will prove, what is now WWE's third, minor brand, bears no resemblence at all to Paul Heyman and Todd Gordon's original company, and is laregly considered as a joke by direhard hardcore wrestling purists.

But to go back to the night in question, there was a lot to be thankful for. Heyman booked the show. Big-name superstars from Raw and SmackDown were booked to wrestle, giving ONS an interpromotional, "A-LIst PPV" feel. And the crowd were electric from start to finish. The brief comedy "bout" between the retired Tazz (who went on to do commentary with Joey Styles) and Jerry Lawler was a daft but inoffensive enough way to kick off the action. Next up was one of ECW's draft picks, Kurt Angle, versus Randy Orton of Raw. Angle proudly sported an ECW mouthguard, which was ironic considering one year earlier at the inaugural event Angle was one of the anti-Extreme invaders from SmackDown. What was to be Kurt's penultimate PPV match in WWE was excellent.

A pleasant, if a little mundane tag team encounter pitted long-time Original ECW rivals Tajiri (now an ex-WWE employee) and Super Crazy against the Full Blooded Italian combo of Little Guido (Nunzio) and Tony Mamaluke. A World Heavyweight Championship (SmackDown's belt, not ECW's) match between Rey Mysterio and challenger Sabu ended in a disappointing no-contest, something that rarely happened in the old ECW.

Arguably the match of the night was the mental 6-person tag team match, where recently-heel-turned Mick Foley joined his old nemesis Edge and Lita to face veteren Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer, and his wife Beulah McGillicutty. With barbed wire, much blood (obviously!) and even a flaming table thrown in for good measure, this was hardcore action at it's best. Foley proved that, even as a part-time wrestler, he could still be a Hardcore Legend, although his subsequent comments in his book the Hardcore Diaries that this match would make or break the One Night Stand PPV, were unfair to the actual main-event of Cena vs. Van Dam.

An average chair-tastic encounter between Balls Mahoney and Masato Tanaka came and went before the main event. The match we'd been wanting to see ever since the Money In The Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 22. Was Rob Van Dam, who according to J.R was "the best wrestler never to be a World Champion" finally going to win the big one? If matches were won or lost based on audience reaction, RVD would have got the WWE Championship the minute John Cena stepped through the curtain. The NYC crowd HATED the kiddie-friendly champ, and was subjected to some of the most derogatory (but funny!) signs and chants I've ever been a witness to when watching wrestling. The bout lived up to the hype, the crowd went crazy for the new champ, "one of their own" Van Dam, and seeing him celebrate with his Extreme cohorts was the perfect end to an emotional night.

As wrestling events go, One Night Stand 06 was good, VERY good, though I'd say the overall action was inferior to ONS 05. What makes this double-DVD set a 5 star release for me is the generous inclusion of the first ever Original ECW PPV, Barely Legal from 1997, on Disc 2. To briefly touch upon this historic event, it hailed from the spiritual home of ECW, the Alhambra Arena in Philadelphia, and was the night that saw Terry Funk lift the ECW World Championship from Raven after winning a No.1 Contenders three-way-dance against Stevie Richards and the Sandman. My favourite match from the exciting card was a crazy 6-man tag team match that pitted a selection of the finest junior heavyweight wrestlers from Japan's Michinoku Pro Wrestling promotion. Non-stop action from start to finish, this is one match you don't want to take a toilet break during!

So, two great PPVs, one original ECW, one WWE version, for the price of one. This makes One Night Stand 2006/Barely Legal 1997 one of the finest bargains to buy at this very site. Buy this double DVD set!
