razazteca Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 It would of been funny to see Big Show do the lucha libre low blow oversell.
Omar20003000 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 But 3 title changes in 8 days.... granted 2 of them were necessary would make it seem that Russo is back
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Yeah..uh..Flair completely ruins the concept of a barbed wire bat by holding it by the barbed wire end like it was nothing.
Slickster Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Did anyone ever expect Ric fucking Flair to get an 'ECW' chant?
Slickster Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 It took 5 low blows, 3 wire bat shots, 3 chairshots and Show still kicked out at 2.
Slickster Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 The tacks make him stronger! Big Show gets his V3 defense (V1 televised) via submission over Ric Flair.
Sonic Reducer Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 awful end? but really they had to keep the belt on show to at least give it some cred.
razazteca Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 ECW needs to sign FMW's Onita and Mr. Pogo!
BorneAgain Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I will say this is the best booked Big Show has been in some time.
Downhome Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I loved that match, even the ending, so sue me.
randomguy Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 "Awakened the exreme in Big Show." How can Styles live with himself? This commentating is an insult to my intelligence. It's eXXXXTREEEEEEEme!
Slickster Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I will say this is the best booked Big Show has been in some time. I think that he makes a believable "unstoppable beast," especially after no-selling the thumbtack bump.
EMAXSAUN Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 OT, but my local cable is showing ads for an Indy show headlined by Tony Atlas and Spike in Syracuse. You in Rochester? I am seeing that same commerical.
Hawk 34 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I like how they keep showing the cute blonde in the crowd.
Slickster Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Yeah, ECW should stop the crowd shots unless it's a shot of rabid marks chanting the company's name.
Slickster Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Best ECW show by far and one of the best wrestling shows I've seen in a while.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I don't care what anyone says. That match fucking ruled it. Four low blows in a row in just such a blantant way gets an automatic thumbs up from me.
AmazingRen Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I think Paul had more control tonight than the other ECW shows on Sci-Fi with the building the character backstage promos.
Hawk 34 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 +'s of tonight -Kelly's bad dancing was offset by Candice who actually danced. -Heyman's cult leader character seeds are planted with a decent promo -Dreamer goes Dreamer and jobs. Vintage ECW. -Limited Knox. -CM Punk builds his character up again. -A fun little main event. Negatives -The entire Credible/Sabu stuff. Which I supposed leads to a rematch at SNME with bigger stunts and such? -Shannon Moore is infesting ECW.
EMAXSAUN Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I actually think this came across pretty good on TV. They had wrestling. The actual two stupid segments of Kelly/Knox, and the Sandman/random Jobber got put into one angle. The actual pacing of the show was a lot better. They actually are trying to develop storylines and characters now (which they should have done from the get go), AND there was actually a TON of crowd heat for basically everything tonight. Also the Heyman thing in the beginning was good and hopefully will lead to Dreamer brining it "back", or something. And I thought that Shannon Moore was good , so I thought it was cool that he is being added to the mix. The only negative thing tonight was the 3 min Credible/Sabu match...they really need to just let ECW matches go Extreme if they need to, that's my only real gripe here, but that isn't going to change anytime soon.
cd213 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I was thinking this show would totally suck. I was wrong. It was a pretty good show. Test still sucks but the fact that he needed to cheat to beat Tommy made it ok, Tommy rules! Kelly segment was short and it was good to see Sandman taking it to someone besides a jobber. Does this mean an actual feud? Sabu looked ok, but I didn't think he was going to win, I thought it was going to do the job straight up though. The main event was actually entertaining. I HATE Flair and was worried that this was going to suck. It was pretty good. Flair took that tack throw like a champ. You could see him saying something to Show after the pin, and it proably was "Throw me into the tacks." I liked the promos as well. CM Punk is going to be huge. Introducing Balls to the casual non old ECW fans is a good thing and Shannon Moore seeems to be a good fit. Paul Heyman must have had more to do with this show then they wanted us to think. I would probably give this show a 3 out of 5 for not sucking as mucha as I thought and for being entertaining.
