It's still not out for 360? Damn, what's the hold up? From what I understand it's up to Sony & MS as to when the DLC appears on their online stores.

They could call it Smokey Mountain Wrestling and I still wouldn't care what the name of it is. I just think it's pointless to have it as it's own brand.

Sure. First, they have a contract with Sci-Fi and it does some of the best ratings on the network and it's a good platform to develop new talent, and allow some older talent (Matt Hardy, Finlay) to help mentor the younger talent. Well I pretty much covered that part with..

Who said anything about ending the "brand extension"?? We're talking about the dissolving of ECW. For me, I'm not desperate for it, but I think it would be a smarter idea in terms of talent consolidation and bolstering the other two rosters. There really is NO point to an ECW brand/show (especially a roster that only has, what, 10 active wrestlers on it?) that a RAW/Smackdown multi-brand show (like a new version of HeAT) couldn't accomplish. It can still exist on it's own. It can still have great matches with new talent, it just doesn't need to be the SAME MATCHES every single week from the same < 10 man roster. Get rid of the ECW title, and bring in a TV title that's defended every week, maybe even make this a place where the tag team division can also get a chance to re-establish itself, and bam, you've got a show that I'd tune in to watch for sure. If you have the point to why exactly ECW the brand/show needs to exist then I'd love to hear it. It's worth about as much as the WCW brand name these days anyway.

Well, he's (DiBiase) almost made it a year without another DUI.. so who knows!

Weren't those really just interpromotional matches/cards, though? I don't think there was a storyline of one "invading" the other.

If Austin comes back.. it should be for a huge moneymaker dream match (ie: vs Hogan) or to put over a younger talent on the cusp of becoming the next big superstar. I love Jericho but he doesn't fit in either category.

I'm a zombie nerd/loser and an RE mark so I will be buying it. Just not for $30, heh.

I remember taping this when it first aired because I knew Norm would be hilarious.. and he didn't disappoint. I think I still have that tape somewhere too.

Here's another: Anyone else ever notice that DiBiase (Sr) looks kind of Asian or at least Native American around the eyes? I wonder what his background is.

DH Smith or not, I still want to see Joe Hennig in this group.. I don't think it should be limited to four guys anyway, but it also shouldn't be allowed to get bigger than 5 or 6.

I think they should just dissolve ECW already.. it's a pathetic excuse for a "full" roster and separate "brand" and it really holds no sort of marketing value anymore seeing as any hardcore ECW fan probably hates the current state of that brand.. Retire of the ECW Title and bring in a TV Title that changes brands every month (like I suggested in the General Discussion thread) and they can just make the ECW timeslot an inter-brand show or something like what Heat used to be.

C'mon. Matt Hardy isn't that great..

Random thought.. I was thinking about how the ECW title is defended almost every week on their show and I really miss the idea of a real TV Title. I wish WWE'd bring that in. I think it'd even work as a floating title where the champ changes or travels to the other brands for a month at a time, taking on all comers, before moving on to the next brand. Ie: January - Raw, February - Smackdown, March - ECW.. restart cycle..

Manu was in there before they started chasing Orton to join them. Anyway, I'd like to see someone change their friggin' attire in this group. To tights, or something.. The only way I can tell Orton apart from the other two is the tattoos and his Hogan-esque orange glow.

You trying to tell us something?

How the heck do you come to that conclusion? Paul Bearer is his daddy... LMAO, touche

How the heck do you come to that conclusion?

It already came out a couple of years ago, actually. I'm too lazy to post a picture of the cover. Ahh I just realized that too. The one with his face split into two sides or something to that effect..

Where are all of these McMahon clips from? Does he have a DVD coming out?

True that. But that kid's probably well into his 20's by now.

Yeah that whole conspiracy never gets old..

Brutal

Let the Right One In. Swedish vampire flick. Looks awesome. Too bad something like this can’t quite thrive when shit like Twilight cleans up at the box office.

Yes, it would've been.. but it wasn't. It wasn't like WB was going to be all "Oh, let's wait another year because Iron Man came out earlier this year". I just think that it's really immature of him to take the piss out of the movie (which includes, the cast, crew, writers, director) just because it won out at the box office, etc.
