Epic Reine 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2004 The sad truth about Shane Douglas not being on this disc is that for the most part he was never really all THAT good. Sure, he held the belt on ECW a bunch of times, but there were always guys doing better stuff than him elsewhere on the show. And after him holding the title through 1998 when he was hurt (they didn't strip him or anything), it's fine by me that they didn't include him in the matches. To me ECW was: 1) Funk vs Cactus Jack 2) Raven vs Dreamer 3) The Dudley Boys as the #1 heels in the company 4) Sabu and his roll of athletic tape vs the world 5) Taz with his motto Fuck The World 6) Triple Threat 7) New Jack, Balls Mahoney, Axl Rotton garbage matches 8) R-V-D Mr. Self Promotion 9) Luchadores and Japanese wrestlers bringing in the workrate 10) Joey Styles (OMG, HOLY SHIT, CATFIGHT), Joel Gertner (The Quintessional Studmuffin), Cyrus (the virus) I feel the same way about ECW too, just like the shirt used to say:"It's not for everyone!" because ECW was something special and WWE stole almost everything from them. WWE stole EVERYTHING from them? So, WWE stole GOOD MARKETING sense from them? WWE stole a spot-spot-spot-spot oriented style with little to no psychology past "I work leg, you work arm"? WWE stole piss-poor booking that was booked to mark the fans in attendence and nothing more? WWE stole a thousand *** matches and nothing higher than ***3/4?
