This video has 8 matches and some crude math says 2:30 divided by 8 means each match averages out to over 19 minutes. The first match, with the two acrobatic dives out of the ring and onto Bam Bam Bigelow - 10:22 and 11:10 - are pretty awesome!
Also, I'm amused by the commentary of the guy who described Bill Alfonso as "the verbal diarrhetic." Such a wicked way to say that the dude doesn't SHUT UP when he is working the match. I remember seeing BA as a manager in ECW and just being awestruck by his antics. I have no idea why he never transitioned to WWE like other ECW wrestlers did. He would have been a definite one person to keep an eye on when wrestling in the ring. Using that whistle after a crazy move was unique.
In fact, I can't think of any other manager ever using any other sound device to draw attention towards a great in-ring move other than BA. The closest I can think of is The New Day dude playing the trombone if he was at ringside and Big E and Kofi Kingston were wrestling in a tag team match.
Anyways, RVD is definitely one of those wrestlers that gave 1000% during each match and sacrificed his body for the audience. I know he had some legal issues and I am not endorsing any of that; I am saying that he was always giving maximum effort in the squared circle.
