The New 3PW DVD
What’s up everyone and welcome to another McTape, or in this case a McDVD review.
Today’s DVD to be reviewed is a DVD by 3PW (Pro Pain Pro Wrestling). It’s called
BLOOD! BRAWLS! AND BROADS! The name hits the nail, right dead center on the
head. With that said onto the review. McNote: I might go in and out of saying
tape, instead of hitting the shift key to type DVD. Talk about lazy lol)
Great packaging and overall look. It’s great to buy an indy or any wrestling tape/DVD for that matter, that has a full match run down and looks professional.
I pop in the DVD and get the standard FBI Duplication Warning. Don’t bootleg the fucking thing, alright?
Parental Advisory warning, you must be 18 to view this tape, or have a fake ID. In the spirit of watching the tape, this review also requires PAW. No not Perfectly Acceptable Wrestling, but Parental Advisory Warning. You must be 18 to read this review.
Ah fuck it, just read the damn thing, because it’s important that you watch this tape and I’ll tell you why.
We then go to a trained professional thing, like not to copy what you see on the tape. Fuck, if you copied anything on this tape you’re fucking nuts or have a head full of staples and dried up blood.
The DVD has a few options. There’s the gallery, scene selection, bonus match, and of course, the main course. Here is just quick run down of the gallery.
The gallery features all pics from 3PW and from the DVD. You get action shots, and of course, the lovely and sexy divas of 3PW- Jasmin St Claire, Brianna and Dream. The superstar pics are everyone on the DVD from Syxx-Pac to Rob Eckos to Sabu. With that out of the way, onto the DVD.
The DVD starts with a FUCKING SWEET ASS Opening. I’m not kidding. This is better than a RAW opening and even better than the old ECW opening. Some sick shit in here, and the song kicks ass. I think Wolfpack does the music. There’s some crazy bumps in it, and also features past 3PW performers. Seeing Curt Hennig was very eerie, as I still can’t believe he’s no longer with us. (Speaking of Curt Hennig, look for the McReview of the Best Of Curt Hennig tape by Brian Myers.) After the killer opening, which is worth $3 bucks of the $20 DVD price tag, we go to the show.
Match 1- Gary Wolfe d. Rockin Rebel in a Dog Collar Match
Rockin Rebel cuts a sick promo. You gotta hear it, it’s funny as hell. I need to see more of Rebel live, as I’m a fan of his mic work. Your commentators are Gerry Strauss and Mike Winner. For those not in the know, both of those guys work a lot of the Jersey feds as a ring announcer and manager, respectively. They both do commentary too. I’ll say it here and in other places in the review, instead of saving it for the end- both Gerry and Mike know their shit, but they provided NO ENTHUIASM at all. I know not everyone can scream like JR for two hours (STONE COLD! PITS OF HELL! THOSE DAMN DUDLEYS! Etc), but fuck, raise your voice or something. It was like they were commentating a little league baseball game or something. A lot of the matches were to the bone and featured some sick moves, and they sorta brushed it off, and would call the move, instead of SELLING THE MOVE BY TALKING LIKE THIS! Put some adrenaline and gusto in your voice. It wasn’t too bad until the last two matches. Anyway back to the match, this match was brutal, and both guys were busted open early, and this match provided the blood and the brawl of the tape, and it was only 5 minutes into it! This match even had good ring psychology as during one spot, Rockin Rebel had Gary Wolfe in a noose, hanging from the ropes, and to push him out further, he pushed the ropes back with his feet. Little things like that are noticed, and are very appreciated by the smart marks lol. The ending sees Rapid Fire interfering, by pushing Rockin Rebel off the top rope, when he had Wolfe laid out. Wolfe would get up and hit the DVD through a table- that doesn’t break! Your announcers: the table didn’t break, oh my. Get these guys some coffee. Joey Styles would be orgasming, “OH MY GOD, THE TABLE DIDN’T BREAK, HE BROKE HIS SPINE IN HALF!” Hey, when the worst part of the DVD are the announcers, not the matches, you know I’m being too picky. Anyway, the table doesn’t break, so Wolfe tries again with a suplex, and goes 0-2! Wolfe says fuck this, and pins Rebel, in a brutal match. This match must be seen, as it was good and if not for Rebel’s sick bumps alone.
Match 2
Josh Daniels d. Rob Eckos
During the match, former ECW fan, The Hat Guy, berates Eckos. Eckos is one of the best heels today, and is a complete package. He can talk, wrestle and get over. Daniels, for those who haven’t seen him, is the indy version of Chris Benoit. He don’t talk much, but everytime he gets in the ring, it’s a great technical match, and you appreciate wrestling more. Great match, words do not give this match justice. There were a lot of sweet moves, such as Eckos’ superkick and Daniels german suplex. It must be seen. Finish sees Eckos go for a tornado DDT off the top rope, only to be reversed into a northern lights suplex for the duke. PAW.
Match 3
Danny Doring d. Devon Storm
This match was brutal, and made me respect both of these guys more. These guys were fucking sick and brutal, and must’ve put some chiropractors kid through college after this match. Some of the sick spots that you need to buy this DVD for are: Doring sitting in a chair outside the ring, only to be planched from Devon Storm, coming off the top rope! There was also a guardrail, set up like a table, that both men took wicked suplexes off. Your commentators: Oh my, that hurts the back! How about HOLY SHIT, DEVON STORM HAS NO CARE WHATSOEVER FOR DORING’S WELL BEING! Maybe it’s just me, but I love when announcers mark out during the matches, like JR or Joey Styles. Maybe they were told to be toned down, so they wouldn’t go nuts during the announcing, but I wasn’t feeling it. But I certainly was feeling this match, and let’s get back to it. These two brawl all over the 3PW arena, and disturb Bam Bam Bigelow who’s even watching this match in awe! Finally, the make their way back to the ring. Danny Doring hits the panty drop. (A legdrop from the top rope) Storm kicks out at 2. Storm gets up and uses a steel chair to hit a northern lights suplex on Doring. That only gets 2. Finally, Doring hits the Fairback, a sitdown rockbottom, for the win. Wow, what a freakin match.
Match 4
Christian York d. Blue Meanie
Pretty decent match, but after watching the match previous, it would be hard to top. Second funniest part of the DVD occurs here, as Meanie is on the outside of the ring. York goes through the ropes, onto the apron and goes to run across to jump into Meanie. Only problem is that he trips and lands on his ass on the floor. The crowd and Blue Meanie, start doing the YOU FUCKED UP chant. This was hilarious. You gotta see this on tape. After some back and forth action, the finish sees York roll Meanie up, with a fist-full of tights for the 1-2-3.
Match/Segment 5
3PW Wet T-Shirt Contest
This is why you buy the DVD. This is the best part of the DVD. Your judge is Tod Gordon, but more importantly your host is Ron Jeremy. Ron is FUCKING HILARIOUS and had me crying laughing. His commentary is incredible, and although he may not know much about wrestling, he’s got more one liners than Dennis Miller and Jerry Lawler combined. Your contestants are Brianna, Dream, Jasmin St. Claire, Blue Meanie and Angel. Angel doesn’t want to participate, and gives the womens right/degrading speech, like you’ve seen Ivory give on WWE TV a few years back. She goes to attack JSC, but Jermeys bodyguard, gets her out of there. The whole contest saw all the participants go out to the crowd and get sprayed with waterguns. Talk about fan interaction. I’m sure all those fans came back for the next show! Angel runs out again, and again, she’s thrown out. Finally the spraying is over, and we go to the judge, and crowd reaction. Jasmin St. Claire is announced the winner of the 3PW Wet T-Shirt contest. This doesn’t impress Brianna and Dream, as they attack JSC, until it’s broken up by Meanie and the Bodyguard. Really funny and good segment. Good way to break up the DVD from the wrestling, to a nice comedic and hilarious bit.
Match 6
Ian and Axl Rotten, Bad Breed and Johnny Grunge, Flyboy Rocco Rock, go to a double draw
It was eerie also to see Rocco Rock. I can’t believe he’s dead either. 3PW definitely did the right thing here by putting this on the DVD as this match was FUCKING NUTS! Good psychology, yea that sounds like an oxymoron for this match, but it starts off with wrestling holds and armdrags. After about 5 minutes of this, Axl gets the mic and says to the fans, what did you guys pay to see? The crowd violently screams BLOOD! We go hardcore now. I can’t describe everything done here, but you have to see this match. This is the Public Enemy at their finest and Bad Breed also looked great also. I have to comment on the finish. In a moment like ECW, all the fans throw their chairs into the ring. The ring is literally littered with 200 or more steel chairs. This gets a well deserved HOLY SHIT chant, and gets me clapping my hands and screaming HOLY SHIT at my TV! Unbelievable. All 4 men get buried underneath this. Axl pins Rock, while Grunge pins Ian. The match is called a draw. All 4 shake hands after the match, and the crowd showed much love.
Match 7
For the 3PW World Heavyweight Championship
c. Gary Wolfe d. Christian York
Good solid bout here. I was still in awe after the last match. Not York’s finest work, but still better than what a lot of other guys are doing. Finish sees Gary Wolfe hit the DVD, on a steel chair no less, for the 1-2-3. Great title defense and makes the promotion and the champion look respectable.
Match 8
Sabu vs Syxx Pac
This is where the commentary gets annoying, as these guys literally killed themselves in this match. It was fucking nuts. All you got from the announcers, was “that looks like it hurt” Come on, give me, “SABU WILL DO ANYTHING TO WIN THIS MATCH, EVEN IF IT MEANS ENDING SYXX PAC’S CAREER!” LOL, I guess as an announcer mark, I’m a little picky, but like I said before, it doesn’t take anything away from the DVD. This match was sick. Sabu hit the triple jump moonsault through a fucking table. Sick spot. There were a lot of sick moves, too many to count or write about, so buy the DVD for this match alone. Finish sees Syxx Pack pick up the win after a top rope X-Factor through a table. Holy shit what a great match.
This is where the DVD ends. There is also a bonus match, that’s exclusive for the DVD only. If you don’t have a DVD player, and can only get the tape, get it, cause it’s worth it. There’s a lot of great shit on this. Here’s the bonus McReview:
3 Way Body Bag Match
Sabu vs Sandman vs New Jack
Tod Gordon Special Ref
Brutal fucking match. We got scissors, staplers, tables, ladders, chairs, Singapore canes, and 10 pints of blood in this match. MUST BE SEEN. Sabu is a hardcore god. New Jack looked better here, than what I’ve seen from him recently. Too many spots like the last match to go over, but buy the DVD to see it. Anyway, finish sees New Jack get eliminated first, even after previously escaping from a body bag, by cutting it open with a knife! We’re left with Sabu v. Sandman. Bill Alfonso makes his 3PW debut, and starts blowing the whistle. Sabu’s gonna win now. But wait! Alfonso turns on Sabu and Sandman beats the shit out of him. Sandman is gonna win! But wait! Tod Gordon, the special ref, beats up Alfonso and helps out Sabu. This leads to Sabu kickin the crap out of the Sandman, concluding with an Arabian facebuster, with a steel chair through a freakin table. Sick, how Sandman walked out under his own power is impressive. The match ends here, with Sabu walking off. This match was used to set up the next show, so the finish is understandable. Although the finish sucked, the match was great and bloody. This is definitely for my good pals Low Life Louie Ramos and JC The Damager.
