OAO ECW Thread for 6/12

So, Batista gets a white limo if he loses?

That or killed by the Undertaker at the Great American Bash.

I think the Boogeyman would have gotten extremely over in the original ECW no matter how badly he sucked. In fact, I think that his black-hole of talent would have made a HUGE ECW star in the 'he's so bad he's actually good at sucking' type of way.

 

That's pretty much how it was for the guy in OVW from what I've seen.

Firebreaker Chip was FROM the Special Forces, not OF. That was actually billed as his hometown in the rankings page for WCW Magazine and PWI. Crazy, eh? And Capetta would announce it that way.

 

JBL arrived via White Limo on Raw in March for his "match" with Shawn Michaels.

You guys try that Quiznos Baja Chicken yet?

 

I had it for lunch today and it was quite enjoyable.

 

Yep, my lunch today as well. Pretty. Fucking. Good.

The workrate nerds are about to double-orgasm.

hell yeah..ANOTHER AWESOME CORVON ENTRANCE!!!

[BorneAgain 0]

I miss Cor Von's old humorously contrasting theme music.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Ha, someone ribbed Cor Von and played Scorpio's entrance music, and now Cor Von looks even dumber.

i wanna see Benoit counter the pounce

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Please, Benoit was wrestling on PPVs in WCW and wrestling 5 minutes down the street from me in the Armory against Jerry Lawler long before he debuted in ECW, Joey.

The Armory?? that's old school!! I remember ECW running shows there.

Funny thing is they'll probably make the same ECW centric quote about Cor Von.

This match can't be bad. Monty Brown is the worst worker, who makes up for it with his fountain of charisma and the POUNCE~! Oh, and Benoit and Punk helps too.

 

I'm a Monty Brown fan.

Why would Benoit sign for this match?

 

He has no beef with Cor Von.

He has no beef with Burke.

He can't move up the singles ranks towards the ECW Title with a tag team win.

There are no ECW Tag Titles to go after.

 

Speak of the devil, they've seemingly forgotten the ECW World Title.

Could a wrestling brand work without titles?

SledgeHammer: they're just throwing random matches together because McMahon died last night.

Duh, he signed on in tribute to Vince. And Vince's death takes priority to the title.

He was good friends with Sean Royal and Chris Champion and resents the likes of Burke and Cor Von stealing their name.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

The idea of Chris Benoit being treated as the #1 Star of an entire wrestling promotion is a neat one. Yeah, I know ECW isn't a real promotion but still.

I always thought the same thing. I don't think so but it'd be cool if some company tried the idea. The trick is how would you decide who is "the guy"?

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

BorneAgain just scored a million points.

[trackc53 0]

they should just turn ECW into the brand where everyone stiffs each other.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

Heyman already did that.

[Hawk 34 0]

they should just turn ECW into the brand where everyone stiffs each other.

Only if Heyman comes back.

 

Fuck Rando.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

What is Marcus Cor Von's gimmick, exactly? He's pretty short, BTW. Looked like a cruiser in that battle royal last night, despite his upper body. I don't think he's ever been pinned or made to submit since his debut.

Fuck Rando.

 

 

I don't need advertising. I'm amazing for a reason.

What the hell just happened?

[Downhome 0]

Tazz and Joey don't even know what happened.

 

Now that's bullshit.

[BorneAgain 0]

Don't know if they're turning Benoit heel, but if they are, they fired Sabu a month early. Him breaking Sabu's neck again would have been a solid exit for the latter.

[Hawk 34 0]

That was a tribute to McMahon. RING THE DAMN BELL.
