From Bob Magee at PWBTS.com:

quote:
22 year old former wrestler Erich Kulas, known by ECW fans for the role he played in one of the most grotesque blade jobs ever seen...one that nearly prevented ECW's movement toward PPV in 1996; died this past Tuesday at home.

The funeral was held earlier today at Holy Cross Church in Providence, RI, near the family home in Cranston, RI.

Kulas was involved in one of the most controversial incidents in ECW history in 1996. At a show in Revere, MA the then 17 year old Kulas, working as "Mass Transit", serving as a last minute replacement for a no-show Axl Rotten in a tag match with D-Von Dudley vs. the Gangstas.

New Jack physically destroyed Kulas hitting him with gimmicks including a toastersall. New Jack then cut him open with an Exacto knife. The blood was literally spurting out of Kulas's head. Medical personnel nearly panicked, as the scene fast resembled a slaughterhouse. The wound took nearly 50 stitches to close.

Criminal assault charges and a civil lawsuit were brought against New Jack (and in the civil case against ECW and others associated with the company). In both cases, New Jack and the promotion were somehow found not guilty.

ECW briefly sold a tape of the event, before realizing the PR disaster they were about to create for themselves. The promotion never allowed footage of the incident to be used again, but the tape made its way around the country via bootleg copies of the footage. The footage nearly prevented ECW from making its way to PPV, delaying the PPV debut of the promotion until April 1997.

"Because we don't know when we will die, We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood? An afternoon that’s so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it. Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." -Brandon Lee

As a matter of fact, I do...although I've only watched it once. Without a doubt, one of (if not) the nastiest bloodlettings in wrestling.

I really need a copy of that. Would it be possible to work out a deal with you?

Odd how the article doesn't mention the cause of death.

Gee, you guys want a tape of Owen Hart crashing on the turnbuckle, too? Geez. Show some fucking respect, will you? That moment was the defining moment in ECW's history as useless garbage with braindead fans who gave all other wrestling fans a bad name. And now the kid is dead. Great job, ECW mutants. I'm sure one or two of these imbeciles showed up at his funeral to chant "E-C-Dub! E-C-Dub!" like the cuntrags that they are. And great job, U.S. Legal System, too, having ECW and New Jack get away with it. Look what happened now.

BTW, I'm sure it's all stemming from this incident five years ago, but does anybody know the "official" cause of death?

2002 Crack Committee Objectives:
1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year
2. Hate the Braves with a passion
3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year
4. Mets win World Series
5. Hopefully come up with a better name for the Crack Commitee than something the Mad Dog came up with. Come on!

First off, dickweed, it is a tape of a match, not a tape of his actual death that these guys are requesting; a fairly well-known tape that a lot of collectors are actually quite anxious to have in their possession. Kulas' death is naturally going to spark some renewed interest in that tape, much like many fans scrambled to eBay and other outlets to get their hands on Over the Edge in the months after Owen's passing. It may be grotesque, but not uncommon. I'd also like to point out that I have not and most likely will not offer said tape to anyone at this time.

Second, I'm getting mighty tired of you categorizing all ECW fans as brainless, bloodthirsty savages. That'd be like me categorizing all WWF/E/whatever fans as simply brainless based on the actions and words of a select few, including a couple in this very forum.

Do you know how Erich died? No? Then shut the fuck up when it comes to the blame game. Although it is not known how he passed, I highly doubt ECW fans, New Jack, Paul Heyman, the legal system, or anyone directly or indirectly involved with ECW killed Erich Kulas.

Thank you, fuck you, please drive through.
