ECW Coming Back Full Time in Sept

Recommended Posts

I wouldn't mind the ending of the RVD/CENA match to have RVD hitting a Van-Daminator or a 5-Star Frog Splash, and go to cover....then the lights go off and when they come back on, someone is there to cost RVD the match, but I mean it better be someone good, and they better make it somewhat of a Suprise.

CM Punk?

 

Jerry Lawler?

 

Sabu?

 

It would need to be someone who hates ECW with a passion, that wouldn't be an WWE guy and would be a name.

 

CM Punk would be great because he would follow that up with a killer promo but the fans won't know who he is and the effect is lost.

 

 

Well that's the tragedy. ECW fans WOULD KNOW CM Punk. WWE-ECW fans probably wouldn't. So it really depends on the crowd. I am willing to be the crowd at ONS would be familiar with Punk, but they would have trouble replicating the same emotion over him once the ECW tapings(before a WWE crowd) began.

He could kinda do the Raven feud but with ECW, blaming ECW for celebrating debauchery and violence and sex over something so pure like wrestling.

I could dig Dreamer vs Punk

If C.M. Punk brings the "straight-edge" character into ECW, how long before he makes some type of remark about Eddie Guerrero? That would seem like a connection Vince McMahon couldn't help but exploit.

Punk was close to Eddie (Eddie credited Punk as a big help to his recovery) and I think Punk is more likely to speak up front to the office then Rey and Benoit ever were. That doesn't mean Punk wouldn't do it.

 

CM Punk hasn't done the sXe gimmick since 2003, he doesn't need it. Unlike alot of talents out there, Punk isn't a one trick gimmick pony.

So what IS his gimmick nowadays?

 

The last year of ROH, he was a super babyface and a mega heel who held the roh title hostage.

 

In OVW, he was a arrogant jerk heel who often got his jollies screwing with other workers with his catchphrase "you got punk'd" and basically claiming to be the best and had a series of great matches.

I don't know the details of his contract with TNA, but Rhino would work. But, only if he has the ECW World Title with him.

Rhino said he was still in posession of the ECW World Title, but said that someone stole the ECW TV Title belt at the very last show.

That's *just* what Punk needs - a re-hash of a feud that the ECW fanbase has probably already seen done, and Paul E booking an anti-ECW "Crusader" program that the fans already shit on last year at One Night Stand.

But it's C.M. Punk, he can do no wrong! ;)

Prowrestling.com is reporting that Joel Gertner has signed-on part time for the new ECW. Also, WWE is looking to get Chris Chetti and Mikey Whipwreck on board.

Where is Danny Doring??

 

Pepper Pike, OH

 

Do you think that he will get picked up by ECW? I miss the days of him and Roadkill as a tag team. They rocked.

Danny Doring and Roadkill were terrible. I'll never understand what people saw in those two guys to actually cheer for them.

Whats not to like about a bit amish guy who only says Chicken and actually flys around the ring? How was Doring and Roadkill terrible?

One can only hope so. He and Roadkill perfectly complemented eachother in the ring in spite of being so different.

 

I liked them to from what I saw of them. I kinda got a Hart Foundation vibe from them.

Terrible? Hardly. Probably one of the better tag teams from the later days of ECW. They just knew how to put on a good tag team match.

Any 300 pound man that can climb up to the top rope without using the turnbuckle and jump off of it should not be called horrible.

That just means he is athletic or acrobatic, not a great worker.

Exactly, I'm not going to applaud a professional wrestler for being able to climb to the top rope or put on a decent wrestling match. That is their job. If that is your definition of a talented wrestler, then most of you guys should stop bitching about guys like JBL and Mark Henry. I tend to find enjoyment in wrestlers that can actually put on good wrestling matches.

I never knocked on JBL.... Mark Henry... Bleh, you'd have to show me some good matches of his, but JBL usually puts on one hell of a match.

The Sandman

Francine

Danny Doring

Tony Mamaluke

 

Awesome.

Out late during the weekends? Still want to stay current with what’s happening on RAW? No problem, we’ve got just the thing for you.

 

WWE A.M. RAW will be moving to a new timeslot, and will be airing at 2 a.m. on Saturday night (Sunday morning). But that’s not the only change. The rating for the show will be changing as well. “Before we had a PG rating,” commented Mark Hamilton, the show’s producer. “But the new show will be TV 14, which is the same as RAW, so we’ll be able to deliver content that we wouldn’t have been able to before.”

 

Whether it’s the gorgeous Divas you’re a fan of or the lengths the Superstars will go to to stay on top, this new time slot will allow the program to keep you abreast of absolutely everything that happens on RAW.

 

With the combination of the new time and the edgier rating, A.M. RAW is the perfect show for WWE fans that are out late on the weekends and still want their fair share of WWE programming. “We’re looking forward to being able to deliver another quality product to a newer and older audience,” said Hamilton.

 

Make sure you’re up to date and in the know every week, tune into A.M. RAW every Saturday at 2 a.m. (Sunday morning) on the USA Network. "

 

Doesn't say anything about ECW, but makes you wonder if they officially got that slot.

Sounds like they might have because I don't think USA would move the program to 2am on a Saturday night for any other reason. But since ECW hasn't started to develop yet in terms of storylines, there is really no point for them to mention ECW taking the slot.

 

The timing of the move and the position of the slot would fit something like ECW.

Well, they have announced singing people for ECW and the ECW vs WWE special on USA on WWE.com already. However, for a show like AM Raw, I see no reason for WWE.com to do a story about it getting a TV 14 rating for "Edgier content" when it's just a recap show unless something more important is happening.
