WWE - One Night Stand 2008 (DVD)

WWE ONE NIGHT STAND was an event where all the matches were contested under extreme rules. The event consisted of seven matches which I will provide, but not the results in case you choose to watch for yourself. FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE - JEFF HARDY V UMAGA A really physical encounter to start the show where the match went all around the arena and concluded outside of it. Lots of unique moves and both competitors took some nasty bumps. Entertaining opener. I QUIT - WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP - BETH PHOENIX V MELINA In this match you have to make your opponent say "I quit". A really good women's match with lots of physicality. Some ...  Read the complete review

One Night Stand started off as an ECW event that WWE produced in 2005 which came back under the ECW banner in 2006 both were at the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York. In 2007 WWE put all three brands together on the Pay Per Views so now it would be WWE One Night Stand and hosted every year but not at the Hammerstein Ballroom. 2007 of One Night Stand was a weak show it never did beat the first 2 events from 2005 and 2006 due to it having weak matches but 2008 of One Night Stand did improve on by a lot.

This year WWE has decided to change its product to aim at a more PG type audience, which means that One Night Stand 2008 was the last event of its name, as they thought it was too "suggestive". This year is it called Extreme Rules. However the will be the same as last year - all the matches fit some sort of extreme gimmick.

Jeff Hardy and Umaga also tore the house down in a very innovative Falls Count Anywhere match in an excellent opener, to put an end to their short feud. The ECW 5 Way seemed thrown together and ...  Read the complete review
