John Layfield: This show sucks. Kiss my ass!
Tazz- commentator: Why'd you come then?
- Alternate versionsThe DVD version has very little editing when compared to the original pay-per-view broadcast, though thankfully no music was changed (a major complaint of last years DVD release). One change that was made, is that when Jerry Lawler and Randy Orton each come out, originally their names were placed on an ECW name plate graphic. This was changed to a RAW name plate graphic on the DVD, which makes sense when compared to the other non-ECW wrestlers. The other noticeable change is that most of the commercials have been edited out the DVD (including on-screen graphics listing upcoming live tour dates), but in an effort to make it look like a continuous broadcast (instead of fading in and out), some shots and commentary dialog have been edited out from these spots. The brief list is as follows:
- After the F.B.I. vs. Tajiri & Super Crazy match (at 54:30 on the ppv/53:51 on the dvd), while on a shot of Big Guido on the floor outside the ring, Tazz said "I'll tell you what. I never saw anybody do that to Big Guido, that's for sure. He has no idea what hit him." The last sentence was edited from the DVD. Following that was a commercial, then a two-shot of Tazz and Joey Styles showing Tazz taking off the tape on his hands while he and Joey Styles talk about it. This bit of the shot was edited out of the DVD, which immediately cuts to the conversation about the championship matches.
- After John Bradshaw Layfield addresses the crowd (at 1:00:00 on the ppv/58:51 on the dvd), the crowd shot from the live broadcast has been replaced with a wide shot of the ring to mask the removal of a commercial.
- After Sabu enters the ring for his match (at 1:01:42 on the ppv/59:49 on the dvd), there was originally a "brought to you by X-Men The Game" ad. By taking it out, the DVD also removed a few shots of Sabu in the ring warming up.
- As Sandman leaves the arena after chasing Eugene out (at 2:08:45 on the ppv/2:06:36 on the dvd), the "Sandman is heading for the bar" line and the crowd shot were removed, and the Eugene on the bus joke was moved up with it now starting over the shot of Sandman leaving the arena instead of on a two-shot of Tazz and Joey Styles (it was originally placed after the ad that was removed).

ECW One Night Stand Review
I'm not a big ECW fan , personally I find the whole concept of the company over-rated and I think ECW fans are nothing but a flock of sheep who would get excited over anything remotely linked with ECW that is put it front of them. Not to mention considering its a programme viewed by mostly over 18 males, they show an incredible amount of immaturity. Anyway to the show Firstly Heyman comes out and feeds his sheep some grass, otherwise known as milking up to the ECW crowd so they cheer his name.
1. Tazz Vs. The King - 3/10, not really a match more of a segment, ends in no time with an unsurprising end.
2. Randy Orton Vs. Kurt Angle - 7/10 A very good show put on by the WWE guys, but my main issue with this match was the ECW crowd, there chants towards Orton were very child like and silly, it was like being back in the playground at school, the best they could do were a few ridiculous homophobic jokes, I thought that was pretty low but it sums up the narrow mindedness of a common day ECW mark.
3. The FBI Vs. Super Crazy - 7/10 A very good cruiser-weight match, nothing different to the stuff we see on Smackdown most weeks.
4. Rey Mysterio Vs. Sabu WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE - 8.5/10 Iv always criticised Sabu for being no more then a glorified stuntman, but hey the guy can pull of some stunts, there is an awesome spot at the end of this match, truly worth a thumbs up from me. Truly worth the 8.5/10 rating.
JBL gets on the Mic and delivers a great promo ripping on the ECW fans.
5. Edge/Foley/Lita Vs. Funk/Dreamer/Bellulah - 8/10 As good as Foley/Edge Wrestlemania if not better, incredible that 61 year old funk is willing to take bumps like that, he deserves credit. Dreamer for me did nothing as i expected, Edge/Foley carried much of this match making it great.
6. Balls Mahoney Vs. Tanaka - 5/10 Didn't really care for this match, wasn't anything special, more of a toilet break type match.
Eugene meets the Sandman aka drunk, fat, sexual predatory crack head. To see people cheer for a low life scum like the Sandman makes me sick. Another place where ECW fans lose their credibility by cheering for a total loser like him.
7. RVD Vs. John Cena WWE Championship - 8/10 Funny beginning to the match Cena throws his hat and shirt into the crowd, perhaps rather stupidly the ECW fans keep throwing it back, stupid because that shirt could be worth a penny or two, anyway Cena keeps throwing it back for a few Min's. People say crowd made this match well I don't think they made it that much because you knew what they were going to do and say to Cena and it was like been there done that. For me Cena made this match, seeing him revert to a heel role was great to see, beating up the referee, mocking the crowd, performing illegal moves albeit it was nodq match it was good to see. Cena hits RVD with a pretty impressive DDT on the steel chair and I think ECW fans in a weird way acknowledged he'd done something good, although they chanted "you still suck" after each pretty impressive Cena move, I think those chants were rather sinister. Ending was a bit surprising which added to what was a very good match.
