I think XPW was one of the worst wrestling promotions in the history of wrestling for alot of different reasons but I'll just mention a few. XPW was a cheap rip off of ECW because XPW used ECW stars after ECW closed and XPW over used the word hard core. ECW had wrestlers that could actually wrestle and XPW was purely garbage wrestling. Having two three hundred pound wrestlers fall on thumbtacks,bleed,and wrestle for a so called "King of the Death match" title is ridiculous. Vic Grimes could bleed and get hit with light tubes that's about it. Supreme could bleed and fall on thumbtacks that's it. XPW was the same thing all the time. Light tubes,exploding ring matches,barbed wire,and thumb tacks. The light tubes were over used, the exploding ring matches look like a cheap fireworks show,thumbtacks,and barbed wire were over used. Anything that XPW had "explode" was set up ten feet away and the matches looked like a cheap firework show.

The onwer of XPW Rob Black is an idiot and deserves to be in jail if he isn't already. Rob Black didn't know anything about the wrestling business and when Shane Douglas tried to help out Rob Black messed it up. Wrestlers like Shane Douglas,Chris Candido,Terry Funk,and Sabu tried to help XPW but Rob Black messed it up.

The only good thing to happen as a result of XPW was Josh Prohibition and M Dog 20 Matt Cross as a tag team and Southern Comfort(Tracey Smothers and Chris Hammrick) as a tag team. Both of these teams are having success in indepenent wrestling.

I know I have over used the term "over used" in this column but that's what XPW did. They over used almost every weapon that would be involved in a match. I am a fan of hardcore wrestling and I think it's awesome there was an ECW PPV but there's a difference between Hardcore wrestling and garbage wrestling. ECW was mostly hardcore wrestling with some technical wrestling and XPW was garbage wrestling. ECW had wrestlers that could wrestle and XPW had three hundred pound wrestlers that could fall on light tubes
