Downhome

From PWInsider: -Roadkill has been informed that he'll be starting at ECW TV this Tuesday night, if not as early as tonight. They might just make Roadkill and Danny Doring the tag champs right off the bat, since they were the last tag team champs in ECW. -Shelly Martinez will be a part of ECW as well. She has a Betty Page/Goth look, and might be a part of the "vampire" ECW group. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelly_Martinez http://www.desirelive.com/ http://www.myspace.com/officialshellymartinez -The contract that Spike Dudley ripped up at a recent TNA show was real. It was for $3,000 for one night, and the deal was for Spike to be a surprise at ONS2 to challenge TBS, and for him to do just job to TBS. -There are indeed a couple of surprises planned for ONS2 tonight that they are keeping under wraps big time. At least one of them is supposed to be a huge OMG type of deal.

You know, if they wanted Nick to show up in ECW, that just might work and be the way out of the Eugene character. Those ECW fans would accept him with open arms. It could be like the old Doink going to ECW.

With the show only five hours away, backstage notes are starting to come in. From PWInsider:

Here are a bunch of other pictures from the wedding: http://community.webshots.com/album/550899466iEghGF/0 Check out the pictures of Reid. He looks like he's going to end up as crazy Ric.

I wonder how many See No Evil videos we'll get tonight. And the Edge/Dreamer thing, don't blame just one of them, ugh. Go back and watch it, they just weren't on the same page on the spot. They were off by a second or two, and that caused the fuckup. It didn't make Edge look bad either. If anything it made him look tougher and more hardcore. He damn near landed on his head, then got a Dreamer Driver through the table, and still was able to stand up and beat the other guy.

Wow, is that Reid next to David? I haven't seen him since he was in WCW those few times.

Well, we got a touch of that just last year.

Well, we finally have the first mention of Lita being from ECW (at least I think it's the first mention of it so far): http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/news/hardcorewar It sucks that we couldn't have another ECW Byte This like we had last year.

I may be asking for trouble here, but how come everyone seems to know what Mickie James' pussy looks like? I'm guessing I missed this one. http://barfland.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12355

I'm more shocked that the discussion over this event that took place 16 years ago is actually on the verge of becoming heated than I am over the actual event in question.

Well yeah, that too. Not so much SD though, since I really, really like that show here lately. As for RAW, yeah, after all of this ECW stuff RAW really does come off as more bland than ever, but that's not really anything new. I downloaded the old 2/24/1997 RAW where ECW showed up, and even then ECW just totally out did anything that WWE was doing on the same show. They had the Godwins vs. New Blackjacks and then after that we see damn Sabu jump off the huge "R" on the sign. The energy of the ECW guys was just so much higher, they seemed like they were having so much more fun, and they were doing such a different style. That show really made WWE look like shit back then.

He's under contract now, so I'd say so.

I actually like the SS and HHH, but come the fuck on. I'm even ready to take a big dump all over that feud by this point. It's almost like there's no point in watching RAW, or at least the main event. Each week they do this, and each week everyone thinks that we're going to see DX start back up to put an end to all of this. You can only tease the fans for so long until they don't give a shit anymore. Heck, even if they do go through with it on RAW I wont care about it as much as I would have a while ago. What is this about? From PWInsider: Just more on the DX thing?

Have we had any behind the scenes reports from TNA shows on their thoughts on all of this ECW stuff? I've always looked at TNA, in part, as an alternative to WWE to bring in some of those old TNA fans, and now with ECW coming back, in whatever form it ends up being, and WWE creating their own alternative to RAW and SD, couldn't this slow down the building interest in the TNA product?

For this PPV to be only one day away, it sure has been quiet so far today. The calm before the storm perhaps?

Ah yes, the days of trying to watch Nitro and RAW at the exact same time.

But it's like he already went though. Joey Styles was going crazy saying that Nunzio his name, etc... I think it's stupid that they didn't at least mention it just now also.

These two are working great together, I'm loving this. I'm shocked that this match is being given this kind of time as well.

And there is the Quake mention. I am officially calling for the destruction of Miz. Who's with me?

I do, big time. She's the most charismatic female ever in wrestling if you ask me, and hotter than hell.

I didn't even notice that, but then again, there are a number of guys not on the page yet.

I'm a little shocked that Axl Rotten still has a profile on ECW.com as of right now.

Puroresu has the furries market covered.

Heck, both of them are dead now. Also, this is part of an interview with Paul Heyman that was just posted on PWInsider:
