...when it turned into the best game ever.

I was hoping it was lower than that. Even though we got a good RVD/Angle match out of it, that was just about the laziest written show to ever be produced on television. Everything they did was a copy of last week. We got a Sabu squash, Dreamer calling out Show and getting his ass kicked, Kelly dancing, Sandman caning a stupid gimmick, and a main event involving RVD and Angle. Nothing about the show stands out as seperate from WWE or extreme except for maybe Sabu throwing a chair. We all know it's not going to be like the old ECW, but they could at least make an attempt to show us something different rather than showing us exactly what we see on Monday. What reason does any new fan have to watch when it's just a Raw with less star power? What reason does any ECW fan have to watch when it's not ECW and Vince never intends it to be?

What about the NBA finals? The finals were on last Tuesday too.

In a barbed wire match to prove that he's extreme.

From Todd Martin over at WO. Have to agree 100% with that. Tonight was much better than the first show, but it's hard to be too hopeful when Test is on the way.

I don't understand this. I thought based on the reaction last week that Vince would do things his way b/c of the ratings. That never made any sense. What would good ratings show other than that people liked ONS2 and were excited about ECW? It's not like the fans could watch the show, be disappointed at how awful it was, and then go back in time to not watch it.

I never even realized (or I forgot) they ever used a hyphen. Probably because the original DX with Shawn was the only DX that mattered and I wiped the other DX from my mind.

Canopy theory? Jesus, what kind of high school did you go to? Even the batshit insane young earth creationists are not dumb enough to believe the canopy theory. http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/...lood-waters.asp Arguments we think creationists should NOT use http://www.godandscience.org/youngearth/canopy.html

Watch this. It'll explain everything. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3...226967046&q=ECW After you see that, click on some of the links in this thread. http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=80139

Since ONS2 is tomorrow, I figure that now would be a good time to post some videos. A compilation of extreme ECW moments. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3...226967046&q=ECW Dudleys pre-match insult and curse the crowd out for 10 minutes warm up at Heatwave 99 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAOraqJ_1DM...h=ecw%20dudleys Danny Doring & Roadkill vs Chris Chetti & Nova from Heatwave 99. Doring preposes to Lita before the match. Chetti dances with Lita to Livin La Vida Loca DURING the match. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=16...528252775&q=ecw The Mass Transit incident with hilarious commentary provided by New Jack Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn from ECW on TNN. This is the match where Jerry has taped up ribs. The best match in their series IMO and one of the best matches ever in ECW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoUcvN2SDDU&search=rvd%20lynn part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhA_UaJHrfs&search=rvd%20lynn part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98aEpc8Ijqk&search=rvd%20lynn part 3 Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn from Hardcore Heaven 2000 http://rapidshare.de/files/10991804/Rob_Va..._2000_.wmv.html Jerry Lynn vs Lance Storm from Anarchy Rulz http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KL5Z2RQ6 Of those, I uploaded the Dudleys intro, Doring/Roadkill vs Chetti/Nova, and Storm vs Lynn. Any requests? I have Anarchy Rulz, November to Remember 99, Guilty as Charged 99 & 00, Heatwave99, and Barely Legal.

Fuck you Google Video. I uploaded a bunch of ECW shit and they rejected all of it. You guys are going to have to download. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UMA5UJWA Sabu vs Taz http://www.megaupload.com/?d=02O9CD6L Awesome vs Tanaka at November to Remember 99

Except for Cena winning the title back, all of those pale in comparison to Big Show destroying the entire ECW roster in one match and Kurt Angle squashing a former ECW world champion in less than a minute. It could not have been much worse. Every single ECW guy now (other than RVD and Sabu) looks like a jobber on their own show. No matter what they do on the next few shows, it'll be almost impossible for anyone to be able to take ECW seriously again.

How? It says he lost the WWE championship.

I was hoping to see RVD pin Cena clean with the Van Terminator instead, but I'll take it. As long as it doesn't get overturned.

Reason Sabu vs Taz is still not up is because it's taking yousendit 3 1/2 hours to upload a 265 MB file. (It's too big for megaupload) Is it that slow for everyone or is it just me?

From Barely Legal? I don't have a match listing. I can't remember if they had another match on those PPVs or not.

You are the opposite of everything that is good. (Except for the Shelton comment. That's the one thing that was true)

What does she look like nowadays since having a baby? No idea. Maybe she'll be at ONS2.

Agreed.

Anyone else miss Dawn Marie?

I really have high hopes for ECW after reading this. In particular, his dead on comments about why TNA is such a shitty wrestling promotion. And his plans to try to out-do Raw and Smackdown. It'll be interesting to see Heyman turn the old ECW guys back from being jobbers and nobodies into badasses again. Every single wrestler in ECW believed they were all that, from Taz to New Jack to the Baldies to Rob Van Dam to Danny Doring to Simon Diamond. They all had confidence and they all made it seem like they thought they were on top of the world. You don't get that from WWE. You could look at the Baldies making their entrance and believe that if they came across the Rock or HHH in a dark alley, they would beat them up and gangrape them. ECW made it's wrestlers seem like they weren't to be fucked with. That image has been more than ruined in the last few years. Even fucking Spike Dudley. You heard his music and you knew someone was about to be destroyed in the ring. No one seemed weak. Somehow, they all seemed like they deserved to be there and got used to the best of their abilities.

Anyone happen to have RVD vs Lynn from Hardcore Heaven 2000?

Good. I don't care what it sounds like, anything is better than what he has now. Have you heard that song? Its basically his first WWE theme with lyrics over it, but the lyrics are pretty much screamed. Works for me. I liked his first WWE theme.

At least you know that he hasn't been honing his free throw shooting skills any.

Good. I don't care what it sounds like, anything is better than what he has now.
