Broward83 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 How is it that in a one hour show, we get four matches and actual, relevent promotion of a PPV without having long-winded speeches from nearly everyone on the roster and stupid teenage pranks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecca 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 How is it that in a one hour show, we get four matches and actual, relevent promotion of a PPV without having long-winded speeches from nearly everyone on the roster and stupid teenage pranks? Because people like HHH and HBK aren't on this show.......and Brian Gerwirtz and Vince McMahon aren't the main deciders of what's going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 After the past few months of ECW and the time on Smackdown, I'm convinced Lagana needs to take over the entire creative department. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 Still no undercard matches announced? They really are putting all of their eggs in one basket. Hardys vs MNM isn't going to sell the PPV for anybody. Then again maybe the undercard woud scare off potential buyers, I mean Hardcore Holly vs Balls Mahoney and Kevin Thonr vs Matt Striker are not world beaters...

Mecca 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 If Smackdown and ECW with wrestling both ended up doing better than Raw why do I invision Vince firing Lagana and Hayes and making all 3 shows just like Raw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slickster 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 Well, ECW fans will buy the PPV because of the brand name. The Chamber and Hardyz reunion should be all they need to draw in the WWE fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again maybe the undercard woud scare off potential buyers, I mean Hardcore Holly vs Balls Mahoney and Kevin Thonr vs Matt Striker are not world beaters... The EC match has been used to sell a PPV for the past 3 years with very weak under-cards (as well as the original concept from 2000 with the Armageddon 6 Man HIAC). It fits the usual WWE pattern of PPV booking anyways, just a month earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 Sooo, Lashley will become the first black ECW World Heavyweight Champion? I find it funny that two northeast promotions (ECW/WWF) had arab world champions before a black world champion, while WCW from the south had black champions but never arabs.
