I can confirm that the Blockbuster DVD is just 2 Discs as the post above describes... kinda disappointed, because I rented it from blockbuster wanting to see the match before the PPV. We were late getting to Wrestlemania and we missed it :-(

I don't really go outside the WWE forum if anything

So how can Ashley's Playboy Pictures not be on the internet already, it's Tuesday!

Yeah... she didn't even do 10, and they were really half assed. Not to mention she skipped on the tires just hopping over them. Atleast they cut this segment down in half to 10 minutes. Last year was brutal

Seriously, what media...? I never heard a thing about it outside wrestling news boards, and who cares about those things? It never made it out as a story which put the company in bad light.

I don't think it was supposed to work that way... just a little inside joke/humor.

I remember Sid being DQed at a PPV once. Too lazy to see if it's ben mentioned already

I read somewhere at Vince thinks it would expose the business too much to broadcast in HD. Then again, I also read that WWE upgraded their equipment awhile back.

You have a point. People want to see all those cruiserweights give it their all in an ECW setting and would accept them as being part of the brand. Even in ECW's prime, there were a lot of people that I didn't enjoy seeing on TV. I never liked Roadkill, Doring and C.W. Anderson, yet those guys are still around and I do not want to see them pushed. I was also a big fan of the Impact Players, so I'd like to see Credible get a push even though people hate him. The one thing that bugs the hell out of me is seeing stuff that I could be seeing if ECW didn't come back. I don't like seeing a RVD/Big Show feud, RVD/Angle, Angle/Show, or even Dreamer/Show since it's something that could have been offered before with them under contract. Using the WWE wrestlers does make it seem like Raw Hour 3 and not something different enough to peak my interest. Maybe the problem with everyone having their fantasy booking in their mind is that if WWE doesn't do it, they want to shit all over it. Just look at some of the ideas in this thread, totaly unrealistic. And I know it's just discussion, but come on. As much as everyone loves CM Punk, you still have to build the guy up considering some people have never seen him before.

I kind of agree with that... ECW was known for taking nobodies and turning them into somebodies. But the fans shit on Mike Knox before they even saw him wrestle. The crowd won't even give a chance to anybody new (besides Punk), yet the older stars like Dreamer just can't go like they use to. It's not like the old days anymore, where if Test had left WWE and went to ECW, the fans would have given him a chance. Now it' "Boo! A WWE guy!" right from the get go. My guess is that if Punk doesn't live up to the hype, I'll be hearing it's because WWE limited his moveset or something. I swear, sometimes I just watch the shows on their own without the OAO Smart Marks thread commentarys, and they are not as bad as you guys make them out to be. Then again, sometimes the MST3Kesq threads are what save a crappy show.

I thought Team Canada was gone?

Just ask Rush Limbaugh! Zing!

That's why TNA should be running at the most 6 PPVs a year, not 12...

It is? Last time I checked Impact was on cable, and I pay for cable. And not all cable providers have Spike TV, so I can see them wanting to be on iTunes for the few fans that really want to see it. I can't see how they can lose money from it. Even I have videos up on iTunes for free.

Bah, cover/sample. You knew what I meant. But since a lot of people here don't understant what royalties work I thought that might be a good recent music example. Technically, WWE using "Enter Sandman" would be Synchronization Royalties, and any fees for it would go to the songwriter of the song and the publisher, not "Metallica" as a whole.

WWE would still have to pay the band that originally produced the song, Metallica. Yeah, royalties are a bitch with cover songs. Example: Every time someone buys a copy of Riahanna's "SOS" they have to pay Soft Cell because the beat is borrowed from Tainted Love. I am sure there are ways that ECW got around it when it's played live at an arena setting. For example, when music is used at a baseball game over the speakers, and that music is heard on TV, it's not the same as directly pumping it through the sound board. But I am sure WWE sees it as wanting the fans to like the new music so that when they sell DVDs they don't have to pay money and don't need to change it. Sandman's weekly matches seem like attempts just to get the new music over.

You know what ECW TV needs? Those interviews at the end to the song from Pulp Fiction. Those rocked.

Well right now ECW seems ot have two styles. Garbage Wrestling and Technical. The Garbage wrestling is much like the WWF Hardcore Title matches than a real hardcore match, and the technical wrestling is too technical for ECW, with Angle/Orton boring me to death. I don't want to see Kurt Angle do technical wrestling, I want to see him be an unstopable machine that has no problem with taking a steel chair and bashing someone in the head with it.

I did not like this PPV one bit... the entire show was in slow motion. It seemed that the majority of the matches was wrestlers in restholds looking at the crowd reaction. Mahoney/Tanaka was the only real ECW style match on the card, and Sabu/Mysterio had the makings of something great up until the ending.

Question: Now that ECW has been announced as a new brand, will ECW One Night Stand be counted? -James of “whoopassU” Answer: ECW-related programming will not be scored in Season 7, and as such, ECW One Night Stand will still not be scored. However, the Fantasy Board is currently determining how to handle the ECW brand extension in future seasons of WWE Fantasy. So, no ECW show points in season 7? Damn... That really makes no sense. They let you draft ECW talent, but anything on an ECW show will not be scored.

Actually, I think in most of the matches they don't even have the entrances Yeah, on the best of's they dont even have the entrances. Some of the PPV's have all the entrances, some have various entrances while others are cut out. Even the original ECW DVDs had the same problem with entrances being cut out so they didn't have to pay for music.

Why isn't Kurt Angle our World Champion? I love this new Kurt Angle

I'm a bit behind (Paused Tivo, about 45 minutes). ECW Entrances are just not the same without the original music

From what I remember, their show had terrible bits and the two of them talked about incredibly uninteresting thing.

If price is an issue, Blast Zones are your friend... http://www.wwe.com/schedules/blastareas/ Local Buffalo Wild Wings plays every single WWE PPV, and all I end up paying is the $6 or so for Wings that I have for dinner.
