Broward83 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 was that an old Alice in Chains remixed into his theme?
Hawk 34 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Is that a black shirt under Foley's Raw shirt?????????????? It's gotta be an ECW shirt.... Or pehaps the same stinky black shirt he has worn for the last 12 years?
Slickster Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I can understand the rationale of putting WWE stars on Team ECW so the younger fans who weren't around to see ECW v.1 have a reason to watch this show. The ECW brand - the ECW attitude - sells itself and still retains its edgy allure irrespective of who represents it. At least that's what WWE would say.
razazteca Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Is that a black shirt under Foley's Raw shirt?????????????? It's gotta be an ECW shirt.... Naw he is just trying to hide his belly welly with all of the layers.
Placebo Effect Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 What an awful ripoff. I really hope they change that up.
Downhome Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 You know, it would make a lot of sense if an ECW guy turned on his side to join WWE, saying that he's ready for the real "big time".
Conspiracy_Victim Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Joey with the rips on Luger, Warrior and the other "6'5" stiffs".
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 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'. If we are to judge this as entertainment...then it still has to make some sense. If CSI (a top rated show) ended all their episodes with the guys from CSI Miami doing run ins and not explaining the end of the story... it wouldn't be a top rated show. How does any of this make sense?
slimm44 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I can't wait for this explanation. At least Angle made some sense. I'm sure it'll be "contract expired". He got tired of facing KAAAAAAANE!
humanoid92 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 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. I'm not trying to claim that they're not associated with it. Of course they are. I just dont get the appeal in seeing them... we've seen them for the last 5 years on TV every week. Why are we supposed to care now just because they're wearing a different T-shirt? Guess what? Rey is associated with WCW too. So is Benoit. And Jericho. And Chavo Guerrero, and Foley and Flair. So what? Why not bring in Hall and Nash and Steiner in and have them all wear WCW t-shirts... I just don't see the appeal, that's all.
RavishingRickRudo Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Did King just say he's going to make Tazz give him a handjob? AWESOME.
Broward83 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I fuckin love Joey shiting on everyone and everything WWE
slimm44 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 who thought four commentators was a good idea?

Conspiracy_Victim Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I think Joey's going to pop a blood vessel.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 who thought four commentators was a good idea? At least it distracts from the mess that was the battle royal
Broward83 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 oh shit for Joey bringing up JR's 7 firings... god damned Joey is going off
Downhome Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Wow, Joey bashing the Leprachan, and King didn't know what the fuck he was talking about it.
Slickster Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 It took Terry Funk about 10 seconds to stand up there.
Hawk 34 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 The announcing is the most fun I've had with WWE tv in months. Poor JR trying to direct traffic.
