It was barely 4 years after the closure of ECW, now that time has flied so much it seems so little time so the aura and the talent were still fresh. It is nice to watch the other ECW tribute show in which Sabu has also participated before this match against Rhyno called "Hardcore Homecoming".

The funny thing is that now nxt is on Tuesday’s so triple has to work Tuesdays lol

As a longtime fan of the original ECW, One Night Stand was a very emotional event, and it was a hopeful sign of things to come and then the WWE showed just how much they thought of the fans with their ECW Lite👎

Unscripted, Uncoordinated, and just pure wrestling at its finest. I had goosebumps the entire night and I was hoping for copy righted music to play for every wrestler, maybe see old faces, but what I saw was satisfying because you know Vince with all his imperfections at least allowed ECW to have one last battle cry, he cant knock what gave birth to his Attitude Era.

Man, I remember watching this PPV back in the day. Brilliant memories. Makes me realise how much missed Mike Awesome is. Would love a bios on him!

What makes everything so special about stone cold coming out for ECW is the fact Stone Cold at one point was on ECW one of the company’s that helped formed the hell raiser himself

Witnessing Paul Heyman aka Paul E Dangerously evolve from promotion to promotion building superstars Has been fantastic.

I got the show on dvd for Christmas in 2005 I loved it one of the greatest wrestling pay per views ever

one of my all time favorite ppvs. watched it at a local sports bar with dozens of hardcore fans. (don cherry's) one of the most memorable nights i've ever had watching a ppv.

Ecw hardcore homecoming was also a great show put on by shane Douglas

This was special, one of the best things WWE has ever done. That one night meant the world to a lot of fans

Between late '04 to the summer of '05, i got to watch Survivor Series, the Royal Rumble, WM20, and of course, ECW One Night stand live on pay per view thanks to a friend who had recently moved into town and then moved away the next school year. It was one of the best core memories of my early teenage years, and those pay per views are my absolute favorites.

I remember being a kid watching this for the first time and being absolutely blown away by Awesome vs. Tanaka on that night.

This PPV is one of the strongest moments as a kid obsessed with wrestling. Me and my friends had bought the ECW dvd and watched it countless times and I learned how pretty much every wrestler I loved either began or had an important time in ECW. I still get chills watching Heymans promo, because we did believe, 100%, that this was the last time we'd see ECW.

Amazing topic. I think the time has come to do an ECW series.

The last time I truly enjoyed watching wrestling, damn those were such awesome times, I wish something as good as ECW started up now.

Amazing look back at this incredible ppv what a night it was for all of us ecw fans thanks for doing an awesome job on this and letting us relive this 10/10

Was looking for something to watch then got notification 🔥

Coach turning his back while wearing a ECW PPV top is the most ironic thing I’ve ever seen 😂

Mike Awesome and Tanaka was insane! Taz showing up just killed it on so many levels.

Thank you, for taking us back to the good old days. I have so many good memories watching ECW back in the mid 90s, staying up til 2 or 3am to record the events. This One Night Stand was one of the best PPVs i ever bought, bc it highlights the best that ECW had to offer in it’s hayday, and near everything about it felt like an authentic ECW ppv from the 90s. The fans are what made this company special, and that fact and idea has been lost to time now. Only those who stood in the stands of an old school ECW event, or the fans across the country straining to find ECW on their tv or internet, truly understand what made the phenomenon that is ECW so damn special!

I always loved this show. The Sandman entrance alone was worth the price of admission. Really great to see Lance Storm getting one chance to shine on his way out.

Every time i watch one night stand 2005 i have tears in my eyes . E.C.W R.I.P
