Fro Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 If ECW is going to be saved then it must have: vs with yelling CATFIGHT!!!! Actually, if Heyman had his way, it'd be... vs Which already happened in OVW.
The Niggardly King Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Best ECW show I've seen in a while. I liked how Heyman no sold the cup right to the side of the face.
NoCalMike Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Well I am definately late to this thread, but I was too busy yesterday to comment. Yeah the show sucked, and it is going to be an interesting month without RVD and Sabu on the show, considering for the last few weeks they have been the best part of a show that featured AWFUL filler. I kind of would rather have Sabu make his return first and beat the Big Show for the belt, and then have RVD/Sabu feud over it, rather then just have RVD come right back and win the belt. That way someone new gets involved in it. Hopefully this month without RVD can be used to feature someone like CM PUNK, rather then Knox and Test, but unfortunately that probably won't be the case. It is obvious Vince has no grasp of what "ECW" was all about, or how to book an ECW show, at all. I wonder if Vince is doing this out of spite, or if he legit thinks this stuff is entertaining!?! I can't make up my mind either way. Heyman's Turn: I can't come to a decision on what is more lame, the turn itself, or the fact that it is just a Brock Lesnar rehash. This is depressing.
BorneAgain Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Yeah the show sucked, and it is going to be an interesting month without RVD and Sabu on the show, considering for the last few weeks they have been the best part of a show that featured AWFUL filler. Sabu's not suspended, only fined so he'll likely be on the show for the next month.
Downhome Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 I guess we're giving up RVD and Kurt Angle for a month, but we're gaining CM Punk and Test.
Art Sandusky Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 In the end, the mutants couldn't tell the extremists and the superstars apart...
Ravenbomb Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 it's like Animal Farm, but with wrestling EDIT: So, they've done at least ONE show without WWE people invading
Art Sandusky Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 This shit just depresses me now. I think I'll pop in one of those compendium tapes that were released around the time the company croaked.
NoCalMike Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Speaking of old ECW, anyone know of any sites that sell ECW commercial tapes? I have quite the collection of 95-97, but am missing a few gems I would like to get a hold of!!!
Guest Princess Leena Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 It is obvious Vince has no grasp of what "ECW" was all about, or how to book an ECW show, at all. I wonder if Vince is doing this out of spite, or if he legit thinks this stuff is entertaining!?! I can't make up my mind either way. I'm sure he finds it entertaining. It's the only way to explain all the insane crap he puts on TV every week. But, he's stuck in a hard place with ECW. In order to get a significant amount of fans (and from what I gather, what Sci-Fi wanted), he has to put some established WWE guys on the show. But, there's only an hour per week to work with, and no PPV time. And thus only so many true ECW workers he could push. Vince put it all into RVD and Sabu. And they fucked him over big time. I put most of the blame on them for being selfish, for the inevitable quick demise of "ECW".

I put most of the blame on them for being selfish, for the inevitable quick demise of "ECW". Well the truth in wrestling is usually the TV ratings, and if they can survive this next month not dropping below maybe a 1.5, and then get RVD and Sabu back, then I don't see "ECW" dying just yet. The thing is, it won't really die either way, it is just a question of, will it be more like ECW or WWE by the time the December PPV rolls around, and would anyone be compelled to buy an "ECW" ppv that is basically just a WWE show, but with lesser known guys. Vince could use a marketing lesson or two.
Guest Princess Leena Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Sadly, I think many people would buy a "WWECW" like PPV. By December, let's first be focused if ECW even exists.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Wait a second, wasn't Leena the one asking WWE to hurry up and end ECW? Now she's acting angry over RVD and Sabu "for the inevitable quick demise of "ECW"?
BigDawgCarl Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Is anybody looking on the bright side? Does anybody realize that there will probably be no Raw involvement from here on out? (hopefully)
NoCalMike Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Sadly, I think many people would buy a "WWECW" like PPV. By December, let's first be focused if ECW even exists. Why wouldn't it exist Leena? If Vince WANTS ECW to be like we have seen it the past few weeks then why wouldn't it exist? It is getting good ratings, merchandise sells fine. If you are meaning "Lets see if the "ECW" aspect still exists in December" then yeah I understand your point, but currently the "ECW" product is just WWE with a couple of old ECW characters, and Three WWE-esque hosses ready for big pushes(Knox, Big Show, Test) It's apparent Vince doesn't care about what ECW was, but if he can get his tired old hosses on "ECW" and people watch it, whether they are Old ECW fans, New "ECW" fans, or just plain old WWE fans, he will keep "ECW" going as a third WWE show. It seems like your hatred of this fake "ECW" stems more from a hatred or unliking of ECW in the first place(aka The Original ECW), if so that is ok, but just say so. Oh and yeah people WOULD buy a WWECW ppv, but probably not a single fan who already doesn't lust after WWE, so again Vince would be a failure at trying to bring in new fans, or fans that don't already watch his product.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Is anybody looking on the bright side? Does anybody realize that there will probably be no Raw involvement from here on out? (hopefully) It was announced the crossover isn't over... well if you take stock in PWInsider.
Maztinho Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Best ECW show I've seen in a while. The statement could be taken that he hasn't seen a ECW show in awhile, so it's better than nothing. Or that it's the best of the 4 ECW's on Sci-Fi. Hell I dunno.
Scroby Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Wait a second, wasn't Leena the one asking WWE to hurry up and end ECW? Now she's acting angry over RVD and Sabu "for the inevitable quick demise of "ECW"? Thats beeen the thoughts of 75% of the posters here so far, not just Leena. A lot of people here pretty much want ECW gone in one way or another.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 That's fine, wanting them gone is one thing, but to be angry with someone for "speeding" it up is another.

A lot of people here pretty much want ECW gone in one way or another. I don't want ECW to be dead. But, even you bigger ECW fans must realize this new version of "WWECW" is the drizzling shits.

I wouldn't say the drizzling shits becaus I still enjoy watching it and its been keeping me intrested. Plus its only been a month and with a WWE show, you can't expect it to take off right away. I would say however that Raw is the drizzling shits.

2GOLD Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 We need the man on the left. Anyone to replace Tazz. He is just horrible on ECW. Was he this bad on Smackdown? Cyrus the Virus is just awesome, I wish he'd show up in TNA or on ECW. Showing up on SpikeTV would be great, especially if he kept doing his network gimmick.
