The alt-rock powerhouse band known as The Revivalists brought their high energy concert to the Vina Robles Amphitheatre on a chilly fall night, for the second to the last show of their 2019 “Take Good Care” tour. The show opened with a twilight set by Nashville blue-eyed soul singer Anderson East. The charismatic singer has even managed to capture the romantic attention of Miranda Lambert. The singer and his accomplished band of rock-infused musicians put on a stunning opening show. East belted out original Southern-tinged soul and blues tunes while the band wailed furiously behind him. The personable singer bantered with the crowd frequently and wandered into the crowd on several occasions. The extended opening set included several covers including, Willie Nelson’s “Somebody Pick Up My Pieces” and Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer.” The crowd huddled tightly together in the cold roared with approval.

As the darkness set in around the beautiful mountainside venue and stars twinkled in the crystal clear night sky, The Revivalists sauntered onto the stage, beaming broad smiles. The eight-piece group is a powerhouse jam band fronted by animated and energetic lead singer David Shaw. In addition to Shaw, the New Orleans group includes, Zack Feinberg on guitar, Andrew Campanelli on drums, George Gekas on bass, Ed Williams playing pedal steel guitar, Rob Ingraham on saxophone, Michael Girardot on keyboards and trumpet and PJ Howard also on drums and percussion. Shaw darted about the stage, seeming to make eye contact with most everyone in the audience. Throughout the show, he would shoot into the crowd and make his way all about the venue. The band tore through a nearly two-hour high energy set that had concert-goers singing and dancing until the final encore. The setlist included many of the tracks from 2018’s “Take Good Care” album. The Revivalists opened with a selection of mostly new material, including “When I’m With You,” “You Said It All,” “You and I,” “Change,” “Oh No,” and “All My Friends.” They also ended their main set with another song from the latest album, “Celebration.” The group also played some of their older well-known tunes, including songs from the 2015 album “Men Amongst Mountains” like “It Was A Sin,” and  “Catching Fireflies.”

After an extended standing ovation in the cold late night air, the band returned for a triumphant encore that stretched to four songs including, “Soulflight” from their self-titled debut EP from 2008. The group threw in a bit of Pink Floyd while playing their song “Wish I Knew You,” and they ended the evening with a brilliant take on The Rolling Stones, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”

The Vina Robles Amphitheatre, which may be the best outdoor concert venue in California, ended its 2019 season with Grammy, Tony, and Emmy award-nominated singer, songwriter, actress, and author Sara Bareilles on October 27, marking a record-breaking season. According to Nederlander concerts, “The venue experienced its best season to date, with 93% growth in ticket sales since opening in 2013.  The venue hosted over 65,000 fans, sold more than $4 million in ticket sales and presented 12 sellout concerts at the intimate outdoor venue.  World-renowned artists such as Willie Nelson and Family, Foreigner, Sublime with Rome, Kacey Musgraves, The Avett Brothers, Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band, Los Ángeles Azules, Social Distortion and Flogging Molly, Peter Frampton with Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening, Cole Swindell and Jason Mraz were among the sellout performances.

“This was a great season for Vina Robles Amphitheatre, and I am grateful to our incredible team.  We look forward to continued growth in the future with many more successful seasons for the fans and artists,” said Paul Leatherman, general manager at Vina Robles Amphitheatre.

In its seventh year of operation, the Vina Robles Amphitheatre has become one of the largest outdoor venues for arts and entertainment in San Luis Obispo County. The boutique amphitheater is nestled on a picturesque, oak-dotted hillside in Paso Robles on California’s Central Coast.  Owned and operated by Vina Robles Vineyards & Winery, Nederlander Concerts has exclusively programmed the venue since 2014.

“We are thrilled with our partnership at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre and are committed to bringing more diversity and live entertainment to the Central Coasts’ burgeoning music scene,” said Alex Hodges, CEO of Nederlander Concerts. “The venue’s staff and atmosphere have created a unique experience for artists and guests, which results in consistent growth year over year.”

Cleveland Indians 2018 season preview: World Collection window stays open for now

Remarkably, final season certified as a disappointment for the Cleveland Indians.

Though Cleveland received 102 video games and notched a 22-game profitable streak — two accomplishments most groups would gladly have outline them, postseason destiny unknown and unimportant — its storybook season featured a thud ending. Cleveland blew a 2-Zero lead within the best-of-5 Division Collection in opposition to the New York Yankees, and was rerouted from a possible return to the World Collection and to varied golf programs throughout the land.

Cleveland is once more anticipated to area a great squad — one that ought to run away with the American League Central. But a quiet offseason has of us questioning: Has this workforce’s time handed it by?

The vitals

2017 file: 102-60 (plus-254 run differential)

2018 depth chart: Click on right here

2018 schedule: Click on right here

Improved?

By and enormous, Cleveland sat out the offseason, signing one free agent to a big-league contract and making only a single different exterior addition to the 40-man roster — that being Rob Refsnyder, a November waiver declare. This workforce, then, is basically the identical one which completed final season, minus Carlos Santana, Jay Bruce, Austin Jackson, Bryan Shaw and others. Hmph.

The large addition to the combo (scare quotes non-obligatory) is first baseman Yonder Alonso, who inked a two-year deal value $16 million (plus a membership possibility) to switch Santana on the chilly nook. Alonso is coming off a profession 12 months in that he posted a 133 OPS+ and made his first All-Star Recreation. Earlier than final season, he had by no means homered greater than 9 instances — he hit 28 residence runs in ’17. Alonso’s enhancements have been credited to added loft in his swing, which additionally resulted in a 43-percent flyball charge — for reference, his profession mark, even now, is 34 %.

Yonder Alonso hopes to copy final 12 months’s breakout. USATSI

Presuming Alonso retains sufficient of these features to make him an efficient substitute for Santana — and it isn’t a given — Cleveland will in any other case financial institution on inner enchancment. Each Michael Brantley and Jason Kipnis might stand to contribute extra following injury-plagued seasons. Shortstop Francisco Lindor and third baseman Jose Ramirez had been already good, but neither is older than 25 — might there be some extra room to develop? The identical query will be requested of long-legged heart fielder Bradley Zimmer, coming into his first full big-league marketing campaign.

Then there’s catcher and prime prospect Francisco Mejia. Maybe finest recognized for nearly being included in July 2016’s failed Jonathan Lucroy commerce, Mejia briefly appeared within the majors final season. He hit .297/.346/.490 in 92 Double-A video games with scouts pegging him as a possible well-above-average hitter for the place. If Mejia stays wholesome, he’ll virtually actually usurp Yan Gomes because the Cleveland beginning backstop by season’s finish.

Arms on show

Cleveland’s pitching workers gave probably the greatest single-season performances of all time in 2017. Odds are, they will not repeat that feat in 2018. Nonetheless, it is a good group that ought to be high quality regardless of the departure of pitching coach Mickey Callaway. (Callaway, the New York Mets supervisor, was changed by previous buddy Carl Willis.)

Ace Corey Kluber is searching for his fifth consecutive 200-inning season and top-10 end in Cy Younger Award voting. Carlos Carrasco shall be aiming for his second straight 200-inning season — final 12 months marked the primary time he began greater than 30 video games, in addition to the primary time he cracked the 200-inning plateau. When wholesome, he is one of many nastiest starters in baseball. The remainder of the rotation figures to incorporate Trevor Bauer (who continues to enhance), Danny Salazar (whose measurement and damage historical past might drive a transfer to the bullpen) and Josh Tomlin (an annual risk to steer the majors in home-run charge).

The bullpen shall be led, per traditional, by Cody Allen and Andrew Miller. There aren’t many, if any, higher pairings in baseball. Anticipate each to get hefty free-agent contracts subsequent offseason.

Corey Kluber continues to be an ace. USATSI

Neglected?

It is uncommon to say a workforce who received 102 video games a 12 months after taking a Three-1 lead within the World Collection is underrated, however Cleveland does appear missed due to its quiet offseason.

To wit, PECOTA has the new-look Yankees profitable 97 video games and the upgraded Houston Astros profitable 99 video games. Cleveland checks in with 96 wins of its personal. FanGraphs foresees a larger hole between the Astros and everybody else (eight video games separate them from Cleveland), however echos the anticipated one-game distinction between Cleveland and the Yankees.

In different phrases, there is a honest probability Cleveland finds itself with extra wins than the Yankees at season’s finish — and maybe, even, with extra wins than the Astros. That ought to be apparent, however there is not any hurt saying it amid all the eye given to the opposite AL favorites.

Finish of an period

Whereas Cleveland is unlikely to undergo via a mass exodus subsequent winter the way in which the Kansas Metropolis Royals have this winter, there’s good cause to suppose there shall be a lot of adjustments forthcoming.

Brantley and Lonnie Chisenhall will each qualify free of charge company at season’s finish, promising to change the look of the outfield. In the meantime, nearer Cody Allen and setup man Andrew Miller are every heading for large paydays, presumably elsewhere. That is with out mentioning back-end starter Josh Tomlin and unheralded reliever Zach McAllister.

The excellent news for Cleveland is there’s assistance on the way in which. Along with Mejia, the farm system might graduate first baseman/DH Bobby Bradley (No. Three), infielder Yu-Cheng Chang (No. 6), outfielder Greg Allen (No. 9), and catcher Eric Haase (No. 10) from Baseball Prospectus’ top-10 listing. Proper-handers Triston McKenzie (No. 2) and Shane Bieber (No. 5) might debut someday late within the 12 months with a watch on locking in gigs in the course of the 2019 marketing campaign.

Cleveland’s farm system is close to the underside of the league, however that is a good quantity of inner depth to commerce or promote from over the approaching season.

Possible lineup

Once more, Cleveland’s lineup goes to look largely the identical, with Alonso figuring to be the one new participant who has an opportunity to interrupt the most-days beginning 9. Cleveland had probably the greatest offenses in baseball in ’17, so they would not thoughts a repeat effort.

SS Francisco Lindor

2B Jason Kipnis

3B Jose Ramirez

DH Edwin Encarnacion

LF Michael Brantley

1B Yonder Alonso

RF Lonnie Chisenhall

C  Yan Gomes

CF Bradley Zimmer

Bench: C Roberto Gomez, OF Brandon Guyer, 3B Giovanny Urshela

Possible rotation

There’s nothing a lot new occurring right here, both. Would not matter — why repair what’s not broke?

RHP Corey Kluber

RHP Carlos Carrasco

RHP Trevor Bauer

RHP Danny Salazar

RHP Josh Tomlin

Possible bullpen

Here is probably the most modified unit on the membership, with reliable rubber-arm Bryan Shaw in Colorado and a lot of different recognizable names — principally Joe Smith and Boone Logan — off elsewhere as properly.

Nearer: RHP Cody Allen

Setup: LHP Andrew Miller

Center: RHP Nick Goody, RHP Dan Otero, RHP Zach McAllister, LHP Tyler Olson

Lengthy: LHP Ryan Merritt

Allen and Miller stay lights out when wholesome. Goody and McAllister determine to vie for the correct to grow to be Shaw’s non secular successor. Goody tweaked his supply and flourished, whereas McAllister has averaged greater than an inning per outing since shifting to the bullpen in 2015.

Forget Netflix and Chill. Try Pure Flix and Pray.

By Katherine Rosman, NY Times, April 22, 2017

CHICAGO--Before breakfast at Sixteen, a restaurant in the Trump International Hotel and Tower here the morning after the premiere for the film “The Case for Christ,” David A. R. White and Andrea Logan White requested a pause.

“Hold on, I want to say grace,” Mr. White said to this reporter, whose mouth was already stuffed full of bacon. “Bless us, Lord, thanks so much for this day,” he went on, concluding: “I love you. Thanks so much for the movie.”

The disconnect between the mainstream news media and evangelical Christians is also a major theme of “The Case for Christ.” Based on the best-selling book written by Lee Strobel, a former journalist at The Chicago Tribune, the movie depicts his process of going from a hard-nosed newsman and atheist to a devout Christian and minister.

It was produced by Pure Flix, a faith-based entertainment production and distribution company in Scottsdale, Ariz., that Mr. White helped found in 2005. In June 2015, the company introduced an on-demand streaming service. While Netflix denizens devour series like “13 Reasons Why” and “Breaking Bad,” PureFlix.com offers bingeable programming like “The American Bible Challenge,” a game show hosted by Jeff Foxworthy; “Family Affair,” a sitcom starring Brian Keith that ran from 1966 to 1971; “The Encounter,” a Pure Flix original scripted series about people who are visited by Jesus; and stand-up comedy from Sinbad and Louie Anderson. Next up is “Hilton Head Island,” a soap opera starring Antonio Sabato Jr. It also streams sermons and documentaries for parents who home-school.

Last month, PureFlix.com had nearly 715,000 unique visitors, according to Alexa, a website traffic analytics company. Greg Gudorf, chief executive of PureFlix.com, said the service’s nearly 250,000 paying subscribers could choose from a catalog of more than 7,500 titles. “We’ve been blessed with really strong growth,” he said.

Mr. White, who was raised a Mennonite in rural Kansas, saw just one secular film in a theater before he turned 18. (“The Mennonites make the Mormons look like a pack of Hell’s Angels,” he said.) A friend’s parents took him to see “Grease” and “when Olivia Newton-John came out in black tights, I thought for sure I was going to hell,” he said. This was enough to persuade him to drop out of Bible college after one year. His goal was to serve God through acting, but then he became interested in production, too. Pure Flix has made hundreds of films (“Do You Believe?” starring Cybill Shepherd), sitcoms, serialized dramas and web series including “On the White Track,” which stars Mr. White and his wife.

On-demand services allow Christians of different disciplines to find content that speaks to their individual interests and beliefs. A theatrical feature film can be a tougher sell to a religious population with many different denominations.

“In the Christian faith, there are divisions with all the sects,” Mr. White said. “The Baptists won’t talk to the Assemblies of God. You have your charismatic Christians. You have your ultraconservatives, like Southern Baptists. You have Catholicism. They’re all a little different.” But, he added, invoking the Rev. Billy Graham, “The foot of the cross is level ground.”

The 2014 Pure Flix theatrical release “God’s Not Dead” found the level ground. It earned more than $60 million at the box office. (Mr. White was a star of the film, and it features Korie and Willie Robertson of “Duck Dynasty.”)

“The Case for Christ” also focuses on a theme that binds all Christians, the resurrection of Jesus. Set in 1980 and decked out with the cars, pastel clothes, handlebar mustaches and smoky newsrooms that conjure the dawn of Reagan’s America, the movie was filmed over six weeks in Atlanta and cost more than $4 million to make. It stars Mike Vogel (recently of the Syfy network’s mini-series “Childhood’s End”), the Tony-winning actress L. Scott Caldwell and Erika Christensen (known for her six-season work on the NBC show “Parenthood”). There are cameos from Robert Forster and Faye Dunaway.

On the film’s marketing poster, Mr. Vogel’s character gazes at a red Time magazine cover from 1966 that asks, “Is God Dead?” (As it happens, Time repurposed the cover for a March 2017 edition, but the modern-day headline read, “Is Truth Dead?”)

The film earned mostly favorable reviews from the small mainstream publications. It received an A-plus CinemaScore, measuring audience appeal, and has a 77 percent favorability mark from Rotten Tomatoes.

By the end of its first two weekends in more than 1,000 theaters around the country, the movie had brought in about $9 million, perhaps less than Mr. White and his partners had hoped for but still delivering a tidy profit.

Thanks to President Trump’s popularity among evangelicals and discussions of “fake news” abounding on the internet, the film has considerable resonance.

“If you watch CNN or Fox, you feel like it’s two different worlds,” said Michael Scott, a founder of Pure Flix and a producer of the film. “Here, you have something similar, you have an atheistic journalist investigating the claims for Christ. There are some similarities even though it was taking place more than 30 years ago.”

Speaking near the red carpet before the screening, Mr. Scott, also the chief executive of Pure Flix, was upbeat and gregarious, if a little nervous. Soon he would need to introduce the film with a list of thank yous “as long as the Bible,” he said. He was standing with Shawn Boskie, who was a pitcher with the Chicago Cubs and is Pure Flix’s vice president for investor relations. (A Q. and A. session after the screening was conducted by Kirk Cousins, a quarterback for the Washington Redskins.)

Mr. Scott was wearing a red-stripe tie that Mr. Boskie bought for him at Trump Tower in New York. Earlier in the evening, Mr. Scott had been yearning for a pair of scissors to help nip a tag hanging from the back of the tie. He didn’t want to just yank it off. “The tie was made in China,” he said.

Us Weekly was not represented on the news media line, but The National Catholic Register and Movieguide were. “This is like ‘All The President’s Men’ journalism before so much of it was doubted and before there were so many different journalists writing for so many different media,” said Jon Gunn, the movie’s director, of his protagonist’s search for answers. “Back when people had notebooks and pens and spoke face to face.”

But the film’s character connects to modern opinions of the news media, too, he said. Mr. Strobel’s character “is a skeptic who says he’s being evenhanded and unbiased but he’s looking to debunk Christianity so he’s not as unbiased as he should be.”

Mr. and Ms. White sidled up to Mr. Gunn and his wife, Lisa, to say hello. Mr. Gunn and Mr. White have known each other for years. Mr. White starred along with Eric Roberts in 2000’s “Mercy Streets,” Mr. Gunn’s first feature film, in which Ms. Gunn, an actress, also had a role.

“I got to make out with his wife for ‘Mercy Streets,’” Mr. White said with a big laugh.

Mr. Gunn said, “Andrea and I are still waiting for our turn.”

“Oh, it’s getting chilly in here,” Mr. White said. Ms. White, who met her husband at a church in Malibu, Calif., when she had blond dreadlocks and was working as a personal trainer, rolled her eyes. “I’ve never been a rainbow-and-unicorn Christian,” she said later.

The world of faith-based entertainment feels small and interconnected in this way. Eamonn McCrystal is an Irish tenor whose music career is managed by Elizabeth Travis, the country singer Randy Travis’s ex-wife and ex-manager who is also a Pure Flix partner. Mr. McCrystal, who played an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer in Pure Flix’s “God’s Not Dead 2,” strolled amid the friends and family of the film’s cast and crew as Ms. Travis walked the red carpet. He carried a cellphone in a leather case that made it look like a little Bible. “Oh, you’re the one that Donald Trump hates,” he said after meeting a reporter for The New York Times.

Brian Bird, the film’s writer, was an executive producer of “Touched by an Angel” and worked on programs including “Step by Step” and “Evening Shade,” the Burt Reynolds sitcom that was broadcast on CBS from 1990 to 1994. When he was in his early 20s, Mr. White had a recurring role on “Evening Shade” until he stuffed a pillow under his shirt and did an impersonation of Mr. Reynolds in front of the studio audience before filming an episode. Mr. Reynolds turned his rings around and smacked Mr. White on the ear with his open palm. Mr. White was subsequently fired.

Now Mr. Reynolds plays Mr. White’s father on a new sitcom Pure Flix is trying to shop to the networks, a 10-episode season of which has already been shot. In “Hitting the Breaks,” Mr. White plays a former racecar driver who moves with his family from Atlanta to a small town in Colorado, where he has inherited a bed-and-breakfast, the Serenity Inn. His real-life wife plays his wife on the show. Morgan Fairchild, Rob Schneider and Tim Tebow have guest-starred.

Mr. and Ms. White would also like to star in a reality show. After the success of “God’s Not Dead” in 2014, they took meetings with network executives but the discussions went nowhere.

In part “it was a faith thing,” Mr. White said.

“The major networks like the audience of faith,” he continued, “but when you have to go to the audience and say faith things on television, well, we might be too open.”

Ms. White responded, “They’re worried we’ll make the audience uncomfortable, like Jesus freaks.”

“I think the climate is different now,” Mr. White said of producing a reality show based on an evangelical Christian family. “I think it eventually will happen.”

Pure Flix executives are also building a strategy to attract a secular audience so that its content is not mere “preaching to the converted,” said Alysoun Wolfe, another of the company’s partners. This fall, Pure Flix will release in theaters “Same Kind of Different as Me,” starring Greg Kinnear and Renée Zellweger and featuring Jon Voight. It also has been filming “Samson,” starring Rutger Hauer, Jackson Rathbone, Lindsay Wagner and Billy Zane, in South Africa. And Ms. Wolfe, with Mr. Scott, is focusing on the start of Epiphany, a production partner to Pure Flix whose subtler brand name is intended to avoid alienating non-Christians.

“We need to reach a broader audience,” Ms. Wolfe said, “because we want to get the moral lessons out.”

ECW Guilty As Charged 2001 Review

In January 2001, Extreme Championship Wrestling was living on life support. TNN had ended their Friday night show, and their syndicated Hardcore T.V. show hadn’t aired in months. If that wasn’t bad enough, many of the guys on the roster were no longer being paid to perform due to limited funds. Guilty As Charged would turn out to be the last televised event for ECW, as Paul Heyman would declare bankruptcy just two months later. Despite all these issues, ECW was determined to go out with a bang. From the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, let’s take a look at the final ECW PPV.

1. Cyrus and Jerry Lynn vs. Christian York and Joey Matthews: Not much to say about the opener. Basically an extended heat segment for Cyrus and Lynn. Just barely qualifies as a match because of the three count to end it. The Baldies beat down York and Matthews, and Cyrus makes the cheap pin to drive the fans insane.

2. ECW World Tag Team Championship - Danny Doring and Amish Roadkill vs. Hot Commodity: Despite being the second match on the card, this is the true opening match of this show. The tag team division of ECW wasn’t great around this time, more on that later, but these guys brought it in this title match. It isn’t a great match by any means, but they came in and got the crowd ready for the rest of the show. Anybody familiar with the ECW formula knows what to expect. Tons of quick spots, plenty of interference from the managers outside the ring, and a win by the champs to get the crowd hyped.

3. Nova vs. Chris Hamrick: After helping beat down the champs following the last match, Hamrick faces an unexpected challenge from Nova. They put together a good, short match. There’s a few botches here and there, but nothing that distracts you too much from the overall package. Spike Dudley appears to help Nova overcome the heels and win the match.

4. “I Quit” Match - Tommy Dreamer vs. C.W. Anderson: The first true “Hardcore” match of the night is this grudge match. Filled with intensity, Dreamer and Anderson present something different to the usual style of “I Quit” matches, foregoing the typical use of psychology in favor of hardcore brawling and weapons galore. Chairs, ladders, cookie trays, and razor wire all come into play during this contest. One of the standouts of the card.

5. The Unholy Alliance vs. Kid Kash and Super Crazy vs. The Full Blooded Italians: As I said earlier, ECW didn’t have the best tag division at the end. Mostly comprised of two singles wrestlers suddenly becoming a team, with a few teams that weren’t that great. However, they still could produce some fantastic bouts, and this is one example. This should have been the tag title match, as each team stands out and has it’s own unique identity and moves. Super Crazy and Tajiri steal the show in this match, and the quality dips once Kash and Crazy are eliminated. Still, this was an incredible goodbye to the amazing tag team action ECW provided.

6. Simon Diamond and Swinger vs. Balls Mahoney and Chilly Willy: This match only goes for about thirty seconds before Rhino arrives and absolutely destroys everybody involved. Anybody that only knows Rhino from his time in WWE needs to check out his ECW work. The guy was booked incredibly well, and this wouldn’t be the end of his night.

7. Tables, Ladders, Chairs & Canes Match for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship - The Sandman vs. Steve Corino vs. Justin Credible: Personally, I really wanted to enjoy this match. Unfortunately, it was pretty sub-par. Despite how much Heyman pushed Corino and Credible, they just weren’t that good in the ring. One can argue that Sandman isn’t that great either, but it’s much easier to name a great Sandman match than a great Steve Corino match. The match is basically a spotfest with little story stringing the moves together. The lone highlight I can think of is when the ladder crumbles under the weight of Sandman, but it wasn’t supposed to happen. It’s a largely forgettable affair that sees The Sandman win the title.

8. ECW World Heavyweight Championship - Rhino vs. The Sandman: Moments after his title win, Sandman gets crushed by Rhino, who then demands a match for the championship. This is another short match, where Rhino just decimates Sandman to become the final ECW champion. It’s a shame we never got to see what the plans for Rhino as champion where. But it’s also a shame that he never reached this level of success in any of the other companies he worked in. 

9. Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn: After beating Sandman, Rhino makes the claim that nobody can beat him. That brings out RVD for a stare down with Rhino over the belt that gets broken up by Jerry Lynn, leading to this impromptu match. RVD and Lynn had some incredible matches in ECW, and this one is no exception. While it’s not the greatest match they have ever had, it still stands as a fantastic way to end ECW. It was this level of athleticism that the foundation of the company was built on, so to have the final televised match occur between two of the most underrated wrestlers of all time is the most fitting end for ECW.

Guilty As Charged isn’t the best pay-per-view around, hell, it’s not even the best PPV ECW ever produced, but it’s an incredibly important show. From 1993 to 2001, ECW stood was the alternative to mainstream wrestling in North America, and created long lasting stars from guys that wouldn’t have gotten a chance in WWE or WCW without it’s existence. This show is required viewing for anybody interested in the history of ECW.
