The deadliest hardcore wrestlers in the world!! Sabu, Mike "Gladiator" Awesome, Terry Funk, Sandman, The Dudley Boys, One Man Gang, John Cronus Tommy Dreamer, Tajiri, Super Crazy, Bam Bam Bigelow, Mr. Gandsuke, Tanaka, Hido, Ricky Fuji, Kanemura, Gedo and Jado with ECW's Paul Heyman setting the table!

From rookie mat-wrestler to international superstar, Masato Tanaka has proven he can crush all who stand in his way.

But when a war-weary FMW needs a new wrestler to rise-up and lead the promotion, Tanaka returns with his new devastating move--the Diamond Dust. Tanaka embodies the violence of the FMW. From the blood he's shed, to the scars that mark his conquests, he's weathered all storms only to come back stronger. Destroying everyone in his way, he's shown he has the number of everyone in the FMW, and why he is The Enforcer.

Blood Sport: ECW's Most Violent Matches Vol. 1 features eight of the most brutal matches in the history of ECW - Extreme Championship Wrestling, including all your favorite ECW stars such as Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, Cactus Jack, Chris Jericho, Sabu and many more.

This anthology of wrestling mayhem from Extreme Championship Wrestling promises an "emotional barbed wire hell," and it delivers. In one gory match, Terry Funk, whose specialty is taking more punishment than any sane person could stand, meets the evil and vicious Sabu in a ring surrounded with barbed wire. In their battle for the ECW World Heavyweight championship, it doesn't take long for them to be smeared with blood, beating the hell out of each other while hopelessly entangled in strands of wire. It eventually takes several men with tools to cut them free as the announcer proclaims that the action just witnessed is too brutal to ever be shown on television. In another match Steve Austin, before he became "Stone Cold" and attained primetime stardom, battles in a "three-way dance" with other notorious bad asses Mikey Whipwreck and the Sandman. And Mick Foley, in his "Cactus Jack" persona, tangles with Terry Funk and gets burned (literally).

This year ECW has been invaded by a host of international superstars that have made their mark in the land of extreme. Combined with aa extreme ECW style along with the styles from Japan and Lucha Libre, they have provided non-stop action for fans of ECW.
