OAO "WWE .VS. ECW Special" Thread - June/7th/06.

Show and Angle talking to the camera just now reminded me of the good ol nWo days...hell, everyone in WCW used to brag to the camera after a win or a beatdown...good times.

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

 

 

There's a difference.

 

No matter how shitty Sid was...people always popped for Sid.

 

Show...not so much.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

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

 

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

 

Didn't Heyman say that they'll allow anyone who wanted to jump to do so? Yes it makes the draft picks superfluous but I guess that was the only way to justify getting Angle onto ECW.

Isn't there still a Dreamer/Edge match as well?

[humanoid92 0]

Well...it's hard to have guys that are ECW guys...when they haven't run a show in over 5 years.

 

Well yeah.

 

Which makes me wonder why they're even bothering.

 

I just don't like the idea in general. I can understand it only from the perspective of "we're desperate and we better try something drastic." But I really don't see what reviving a bastardized ECW brand will really accomplish. If they couldn't pull off the WCW invasion, I doubt they can make this work.

 

Maybe it's just because I never really liked ECW in the first place. Maybe it's because I don't like this whole "ode to wrestling history" stuff that saturates the product today.

 

To me, this idea is just taking all the negative things about the Alliance angle... and judging by this Big Show turn, the nWo.

I'll accept it only because trying to rationalize it is too much trouble for me to bother with.

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

I'll be damn, he did...lol

So the epic ECW vs WWE battle is going to end in a 2 to 2 tie that needed a WWE guy to turn for it to even end in a tie.

 

Mark out moment but one that makes less than zero sense.

[razazteca 0]

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

 

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

I predict 15 minutes for the match and the rest for the truth.com commercials.

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

Ya...

 

Isn't it Foley and Edge vs Funk and Dreamer tonight as well as Cena vs Sabu??????

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

 

I wish for once someone would just go "I'm leaving. What are yo going to do? Sue me? Please, You know how much you pay me? You can't beat me. I got the best defense on my side." and just leave. No bs contract expirations or drafts or anything.

With Angle and Big Show in ECW, it seems like ECW is going to be "the place where guys who were milked dry in the WWE go". And could we have a page that documents the similarities between ECW Redux and the Invasion?

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

And show prolly went to ECW cause Kane's retiring, so there's no angle for him on Raw anymore.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

ECW = a bunch of washed up guys that couldn't get over on WWE + guys that haven't done shit in WWE + 1 guy thats 1 good injury away from being in a wheelchair.

OMG Lita owns a third shirt!!!!

[Hawk 34 0]

You guys are aware this is TBS right? He turns so often that Lex Luger goes "dude, im getting confused".

 

He'll be SD in 2 weeks.

[razazteca 0]

OH SHIT! the classic Cactus Jack promo from ECW!

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

Is that a black shirt under Foley's Raw shirt??????????????

 

It's gotta be an ECW shirt....

[Exslade ZX 0]

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

 

 

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.

So?

 

Yea, at the moment, I'm being the anti-smark , but seriously...wrestling's fake. We all know this. Does it really matter?

 

Since when do you have to have history with a company to beecome a part of it? He didn't have any ties with WWF when he joined back then. Maybe he just likes ECW? Maybe he'd just rather be a part of it then WWE. There doesn't always have to be a complex, or hell even logical 'reason'.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

The WWE's idea of what ECW is/was seems to be:

 

Yell ECW a lot in a group

 

And that's about it.,

[Downhome 0]

You've gotta feel like shit to be on SD right now. Also, no matter how you think they're booking ECW, there is no denying that they want this to end up being a huge success.

 

I know it wont be what we had at one time, but damnit, as long as it's entertaining and something somewhat new, I'll take it after the slump we've been in for so long.

They are basically saying "Foley has nothing creative to say...so let's just re-air stuff from when he was good at this".

It's not the same w/out the real "man in the box"....

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Edge beats Dreamer, then after beating Tommy senseless they put some green suspenders on him just to REALLY get to the SMAAAART MAAARKS!

[skullman80 0]

Bets on how quick Dreamer starts bleeding like a stuck pig?
