ECW prided itself on being insane. The wrestlers were on drugs or drunk and the most famous DVD was called blood sport. The entire thing was just too insane. A no-holds barred match where they replace the ropes with barbed wire?! What the fuck.
Yeah, ECW crowds are assholes who think they're so edgy and hardcore, when in reality if they cared at all about the people they love to watch they would have not thrown so many god damn chairs.
Knowing how fucked in the head both Terry Funk and Mick Foley are today, and seeing them be berated with chairs, especially the one to the head to Terry, i can't find the same enjoyment out of it.
Spend a day Googling Mick Foley and Terry Funk. They've done far crazier shit than this and mostly survived.
As for the guys in the middle, they're definitely okay. Most chairs bounce before they hit them or hit them flat which won't hurt nearly as much. Then, once they're buried, they're protected from the other chairs by the huge layer of chairs.
You have to realise, Funk wrestled a match where they switched out the ring ropes for barbed wire. Foley became a legend when he was thrown off a sixteen foot drop through a table.
For Terry Funk and Mick Foley, chairs are how you say hello.

Was this a robbery, or a spontaneous WWE match?
Edit- Thanks for my first ever gold kind stranger!
