Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Smart move by Vince, I guess. Putting Cena out right away. Establishes that they are moving on. Also, more people would be tuning in for this show then ever, Cena would keep them around and maybe in the process get people to watch ECW for once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Marvin, I guess it was because with no other main eventers in ECW, Nitro was the closest they could go with. He also has the better look out of him and Burke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perfxion 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 I think Vince did the right thing and not only that but was man enough to admit a hindsight mistake. Plus I think the best thing is to move on without ever saying his name on TV. I think that this might be the best or rather only way to move on with recent events.

AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Did anyone ever mention why the hell they picked Johnny Nitro to replace Benoit at the PPV? Who else would they use? Burke and Cor Von already lost their opportunity to wrestle for the belt. So who else was left? Tommy? Balls? Nitro was the only real choice left over.

Boxer 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Maybe we are returning to a mini-kayfabe world? Nothing outside the ring happens? I could totally see Benoit only be mentioned in the public media releases on the website, but I can totally see the name Chris Benoit NEVER mentioned again.

Perfxion 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 I think they might get better ratings on ECW if they just dropped angles and just did nothing but wrestling and let the matches move the feuds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 now that we're wrestling again, could they be thinking of a way to retire/unify the ECW belt with a cena-nitro feud?????? No, they're just running placeholder matches because they need to essentially sit down and come up with a series of new storylines for all three brands, and they need more time given the circumstances.

I think they wanted his title win to mean something, in other words, beating Benoit. Now, he'll probably win it off Nitro in a few weeks, maybe on the next PPV.

Perfxion 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 I think so, and the only place WWE might ever talk about Benoit is in a chapter on someone's DVD and in storyline mode ONLY. He more than likely would not be heard of on WWE TV again, which is for the best for all parties involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 well..way to make the ECW title look 10x more worthless than before the match. Nitro could have at least won by cheating or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 That was a good little match that did well to serve its purpose. Nitro looked really strong and the top face wins when he pretty much had to right now. Leave it to Marvin to actually nit-pick about this. Cena could have squashed Nitro straight up just to pop the crowd and make the potentially large viewership tuning in happy.
