I'm such a fucking sucker. Seeing TBS rip that shirt off and show the ECW shirt, I got the old nWo chill when people would join that group, haha.

TBS=911 2.0

Angle/Big Show in a tranquilizer Dart match at the next ECW Show..just cause..

[2GOLD 0]

Umm...ok...that makes....sense....

[razazteca 0]

Ok now they have 45 minutes to kill how will they do it?

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Add me to one of those who unabashedly marks out for T-shirt angles.

[Hawk 34 0]

I can't wait for this explanation. At least Angle made some sense.

 

I'm sure it'll be "contract expired".

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

Did that just happen?

What, you don't think Sabu and Cena can break out a 45 minute classic?

NO! NO! NOOOO! THE GIANT HAS SOLD OUT TO ECW!!!

He's been bought out by Paul Heyman!

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

They could start by explaining how this was a good idea for either the identity of the supposed ECW or how it makes any storyline sense whatsoever.

 

He's hugging a man who tried to kill him...and joining a company that he has no history with.

[Placebo Effect 0]

I can't wait for this explanation. At least Angle made some sense.

Whatever the case, the crowd popped for it, so it did its job.

 

Now we need the Kurt Angle / Big Show buddy cop movie.

[Exslade ZX 0]

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 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...

It's the truth.

 

That's like saying someone in the military 20 years ago isn't a military man because 'it was a long time ago'. That's retarded.

[Fro 0]

Well, Heyman got Sid over huge in the Arena, and big shit is better than him.

 

It's still pretty lame though

[Mole 0]

[MixxMaster 0]

Did I just hear Lawler scream 3-D during the damned chokeslam, or was I just imagining?

[1234-5678 0]

I'm beating a dead horse here, but...........still no Sandman match for Sunday when he was the best part of the show last year.

 

2. Show will be over in a Sid/911 way.......I know a lot of ECW hardcore fans will shit on it cause he's WWE, but as long as he comes out and throws a chokeslam, he'll be over like hell.

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

Big Show is the new 911!

 

I didn't even think of that. That could work out so well.

 

I'm waiting for the Big Show to choke slam Santa Claus now.

[BorneAgain 0]

Well, Orton was drafted around the same time Show was so the contract could have expired like Randy's did.

x3!

 

I suppose Big Show defects because he's frustrated at being screwed out of a WWE title shot two weeks ago.
