Downhome 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Yep.

Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 This is why I don't see the ECW promotion working out because the second it starts to get better reaction than the WWE product Stephanie will throw a hissy fit and they'll either abort the project or make it look like crap (which they might do at the outset if they make them wrestle WWE style and force the promotion to use WWE production values).

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 I'm still curious as to what they're going to do with the United States Title when JBL beats Mysterio. Another tournament? A Battle Royal? I'd have Booker win KOTR by cheating, JBL brags about being double champion on Smackdown, Lashley comes out and challenges him, Long says that Bradshaw has to defend the U.S. title, Lasley wins thanks to possible Mysterio interference. You can do a rematch with Booker and make King vs. U.S. Champion and continue the stuff with Rey and JBL until whenever Batista comes back. I really hate that idea... Booker winning the KOTR not do anything for his career, atleast with Lashley it will boost him to the main event scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Will the aquisition of OVW's tapes mean we'll see more "Before they were superstars" and "Future Superstars" type things, you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

claydude14 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 "It's believed wrestlers under contract but not being used would be sent to ECW, as well as talent that isn't getting over, with the idea Heyman can repackage them and get them over." Here's hoping Doug Basham is sent to ECW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 I'm hoping both Doug and Damaja get to go to ECW. I LOVED Damaja's character in OVW and he was very good when allowed to bust loose. Him and Doug would actually make me consider watching Shotgun ECW a little more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2006 The internet only thing is fucking stupid. They need this to air on TV. Also the whole "we have to tone it down for later matches" is riduclous. Does this also mean the new "ECW" won't be allowed to have Cruisers who actually work like Cruisers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Sawed Off" Shotgun ECW is a better name...given it already appears to be having it's legs cut out on it's taping and airing schedule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 They have GOT to have ECW taped AFTER. It will be later, some of the kids can leave, the seriorest wrestlers can leave, and the diehards who want to see some raucous shit can move up, they dim the lights, switch the aprons... badda boom. Don't have ECW talent on all house shows so that they can sleep in I guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 The bookers will be Heyman and Dreamer but Dave says Tommy proved to be one of the worst bookers in recent history when given a chance in OVW. Was he bad in the eyes of the smarks? Or bad in the eyes of management? Because it'd be almost impossible to turn both groups off. Well, sounds like Dave was making his own opinion there on Dreamer's weakness as a booker. Remember Tommy was kicked out of the booker's office in almost record time a couple years ago. Yeah and I bet it was for something really stupid knowing Tommy like trying to put common sense into the booking. Can't have that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
