God this is boring. I thought ECW was supposed to be less sports entertainment and more wrestling?

No matter what people think, or even what people want to think, everyone has to realize that no matter what, ECW IS WWE.

 

Exactly... and I give them props for trying something different but this whole ECW thing is a mess.

 

I like how the people they've announced as appearing at the PPV so far are as follows:

 

John Cena- WWE guy

RVD- WWE guy

Kurt Angle- WWE guy

Randy Orton- WWE guy

Tazz- WWE guy

Jerry Lawler- WWE guy

Edge- WWE guy

Mick Foley- WWE guy

Tommy Dreamer- WWE guy

Terry Funk- associated with ECW, sure, but the appeal here is more his coming out of retirement and the Foley/Funk history rather than the fact that he was really an ECW fixture

Rey Mysterio- WWE guy

Sabu- the only non-WWE guy to be seen

 

So basically this whole ECW thing boils down to "well, we signed Sabu."

 

I don't understand how this idea is supposed to succeed. The "new" ECW is a bunch of people we've seen on WWE programming for years, and a bunch of scrubs no one in their right mind has ever cared about in the first place (Balls Mahoney? Sandman? Really?).

 

I can't believe they're going through with this ridiculous idea.

 

RVD, Tazz, Foley, Dreamer, Funk, Misterio, and Sabu all became popular in ECW before they did it in WWE. Just because they wrestled in WWE does NOT mean they're not associated with ECW. How you could even consider Dreamer more of a WWE wrestler than an ECW one is beyond me.

I'm guessing Angle's going to get rid of the last five guys himself to win it.

 

Nah, Sandman will get a beer and hulk up here after the break.

maybe its just me, but I never got behind Dreamer or anything. Maybe its one of those "sociology" things where you either got behind Raven or Dreamer, but to me... all Dreamer's ever been is a whipping boy that got over because he kept getting his ass handed to him and came back for more.

 

 

...oh, and fucking Beulah... yeah, that'd get anyone over.

Nah, he'll take a drink and pull a "Popeye".

I know they're associated with it but that was also a long time ago. Why should anyone care about getting to see Foley, RVD, Rey, etc. when they've been a staple of WWE programming forever now? This idea that Rey vs. RVD was an "interpromotional match" is a joke because they're both WWE veterans. If one of them puts on an ECW t-shirt that doesn't mean anything has changed.

RVD will always be associated with ECW, as will Dreamer/Funk/Sandman etc...
