ECW on Sci-Fi (4/29/2008)

Recommended Posts

There are way too many bizarre things going on in the company now. It's great.

 

King Regal The Deserving, Palumbo, Murdoch Sings!, Adamle, Foley...If The Miz starts dancing like he's trapped in a Richard Kelly film or the Twin Peaks Lodge, I'll never not watch.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the Adamle thing? Was that a scripted thing or did he actually just freak out and walk away? I didn't watch the show so I didn't see exactly what happened.

New "news" from wwe.com

 

 

 

"ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Tuesday night, ECW announcers Mike Adamle and Tazz removed their headsets and left the broadcast position before the conclusion of ECW on Sci Fi. The event occurred just prior to the evening’s main event Handicap Match, featuring ECW Champion Kane and Chavo Guerrero with Bam Neely.

 

Adamle and Tazz reportedly exited the arena and marched straight to the parking lot. Adamle was said to look shocked and expressionless as he left.

 

WWE Superstars were shocked by this unprecedented occurrence. Calls and texts to both Adamle and Tazz have gone unanswered.

 

It has been no secret that our traditional ECW fans have not been satisfied with Adamle’s lackluster commentary. Speculation is this could have led to the play by play and color commentator walking off during a WWE broadcast. Did Adamle and Tazz leave of their own volition or were they asked to leave?

 

WWE.com will attempt to get exclusive video interviews from WWE Superstars about this situation and post them as soon as possible. Stay logged on to WWE.com to learn more about this shocking development."

 

 

Needless to say it looks like a work but I don't know where they would go with this. However, I hope to hear "Mr. Adamle, that's not wise" from Tazz soon.

I wonder if Joey Styles wrote that.

I nominate Hacksaw Jim Duggan as the new voice of ECW.

 

 

We could have a drinking game where we'd take a shot every time he said "HOOOOOOO!" or "Tough guy!"

 

 

Actually, didn't he do commentary for WWF in the early 90s? Maybe I'm just confusing him with Jim Neidhart or I'm just thinking of him being one of the panelists during the later years of PTW but I swore he did commentary for one of the syndicated shows for like a minute and a half. You can't do much worse than Admale though and Duggan isn't doing anything...

We'd all be drunk within 5 minutes.

Am I the only one who read this and thought 'he's gone home to kill his family'?

 

Tasteless I know, but was the first thing popped into my head.

I can't believe people are actually wondering if it might've been a shoot. Come on. Can you see Vincent Kennedy McMahon just sitting and watching as his announcers get up and go AWOL in an unscripted moment? He would've applied the testicular claw and dragged Adamle back out to the announce table by his nuts.

Now THAT would have been great television.

I have a feeling this is going to lead to "Heel play by play guy" Mike Adamle.

I was perplexed by reading the show report because I have no idea what they hope to accomplish by such an angle. At least with the Regal shutting the show down angle at the end of Raw I can see where they might do something with it (even if it ruined that particular show).
