MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 What story does the Pepsi tattoo tell? Are you fucking serious? It's a pretty well known story for any IWC fan. Here's the abb. story... The lead singer of Minor Threat, the punk band of the early 1980's that introduced the concept of Straight Edge in a popular song describing the principles of sXe had a Coca-Cola tattoo. Punk, used to drink cartons of Pepsi every saturday morning watching wrestling as a kid. When Punk was growing up, the local bullies that often attacked Punk had beer logos tattooed on them. Punk got the pepsi tattoo to play off the sXe connection, the attachment to wrestling and a sorta "fuck-you" to the bullies that led him to wrestling as a career. Well..I didnt know that.

Slickster 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 I like how Balls was taped in front of a loading dock while Flair is in a well-lit studio. It's little touches that accentuate the differences between WWE and ECW that will help this brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 I hope TBS/Flair is solid, with a somewhat interesting climax. If all goes well, I might end up saying that I fully enjoyed this episode of ECW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RepoMan 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 As stupid as the extreme rules is, this show has given me some hope they can work this thing out. TBS-Flair isn't going effect ECW longterm, so I can give this week a thumbs up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt the network would care. Heyman can say the reason ECW folded the first time was because the wrestlers burnt themselves out trying to please the fans. Now, he wants people to slow down so ECW can live forever. I don't know, it sorts works with the cult leader gimmick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

randomguy 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 That spot with the table was so awful, the set-up for it was awful looking. The guy (Credible?) gets put on the table, sort of half stands up, looks over his shoulder then slumps back down again like he is knocked out or something.
