>What's the deal with this shit?

The ECW Restoration Project started as a measure to fix everyone's biggest complaint with the ECW content on WWE network; the dubbed over music. Similar projects had existed for TV shows like Beavis and Butthead, Daria, The Stare and so on but seemingly nothing like this had been attempted for wrestling shows, so I figured why don't I do it? As work began on it I continued to notice issues; censorship, cut matches, cut entrances, alternate camera angles, alternate takes, you name it. Myself and FNMGuy have worked to eliminate all of that and archive all of ECW in a form as close to unaltered and as-aired as possible while making use of the Network's high quality video, not to mention restoring shows not yet on the Network that have previously been released digitally in an altered form.

>What's done so far?

A hell of a lot! All of Hardcore TV except one 1998 episode are restored though revisions are still taking place. As are many supercard shows, all of the PPVs and all of ECW on TNN. Since all the supercards on the Network currently are restored I'm working on getting everything tidied up, 720p and in the best possible quality. FNMGuy retired from the project after finishing his final revision of 1998 so it's mainly me tying up loose ends at this point.

>Where can I download it?

The RE-C-DUB spreadsheet (linked at the top) has individual links to each pack, mostly on MEGA but I'm trying to get more on archive.org too. You can also grab packs from Xtremewrestlingtorrents and XWT Classics. If you want to upload a mirror of anything, anywhere, go ahead.

>Where can I stream it?

You can find a good deal of content from the project on DailyMotion combining ECW with a '(restored audio)', 'dubbed' or 'redub' in the title from a variety of uploaders. Everybody's absolutely encouraged to mirror shows on streaming sites, just be aware of their strictness in copyright first, obviously nothing has a chance on Youtube. If you want to watch some wrestling after you get yourself off you can also find some copies on DaftSex. No, seriously.

>Can I help?

Yes! Quite a few supercard shows remain and if you have sources handy and want to take a stab at restoring some you're more than welcome.

In general the biggest way you can help is through uploading original ECW (altered and unaltered) to XWT and similar sites. Non-WWE uploads of the aforementioned supercards in particular are hard to come by online and much appreciated.

>Where can I go to discuss the project or request something?

On >/woo/, in the /RECDUB/ thread you probably found this in. All requests are welcome if you're cool!

>Can I give you money?

No! I'm flattered by how many have asked but it's a project for the people, not for profit, save your money for something useful like your rent.
