Official ECW Thread 6/5/07: LOL (Yes, the show is one big LOL)

[KingofOldSchool]

Vince by the entrance sitting on a rocking chair.

:lol:

[Crossrine]

I really want to see the three originals in this type of match, but I know Lashley is just going to win at the end.. The crowd is dead by the way

[KingofOldSchool]

*yawn*

[Crossrine]

Is this the official thread? I knew Super Lashley was going to win

[KingofOldSchool]

lol guy with sign

"New Ecw Champion Lashley"

No, really?

[KingofOldSchool]

Is this the official thread? I knew Super Lashley was going to win

Sure

[ChiefStubbs]

I may be the only person here who gives ECW a chance, but ten minutes in, I just turned it off. Hell, it seems to be that the only thing ECW is used for is to make Lashley look good and the Originals look bad.

[Volchok]

Wasn't that supposed to be the main event?

[Crossrine]

I wish it was in Philly just one more time to see this horrible excuse for ECW to get crapped on

[rob11]

I hope the Philly crowd gives the product shit next week but since it will be mostly marks I doubt it.
Very lame so far.

[KingofOldSchool]

I wish it was in Philly just one more time to see this horrible excuse for ECW to get crapped on

But they don't want that kind of reaction.

They want the almost non-reactions they get now.

[Crossrine]

They probably jack up the prices and move into rich neighborhoods so the "Original" fans cant buy tickets

I hate to break it to you, but WWE fans are usually in the same social class as original ECW fans are.

[Crossrine]

AWW man, I hate seeing Big Stevie Cool job.

[Volchok]

lol random Stevie Richards spot.

[KingofOldSchool]

Stevie is jobbing as a babyface tonight.

[KingofOldSchool]

Good thing you only have to see it every other month.

In Philly? Maybe Chicago yeah but no way in Philly

The old ECW arena is close to the Wachovia center. Just that the entire crowd was smarks, thats the diff of course. They just don't like to pay WWE prices and for that product.

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL Styles

"Stevie would love a victory..."

I'm sure Stevie would agree.

[Crossrine]

Wonder who from ECW will get drafted

[rob11]

I just see Thorn in the ring wrestling thin air.

[KingofOldSchool]

In Philly? Maybe Chicago yeah but no way in Philly


But for the first two One Night Stand's (how ironic is that statement?) they held them on ECW's home building, jacked up the prices, and a lot of original ECW fans went.

[Crossrine]

The crowd is dead as usual

[rob11]

The New Alhambra Arena is the actual home building, but yeah, the smarks have money just like the marks.

[KingofOldSchool]

That was a decent match.

But of course this is a Disney crowd and they'll only cheer wannabe Marine wiggers.

Well I was talking about the fans who attended when it was still a company. I know alot of fans who saved up to go to One Night Stand thinking it was going to be the last/only chance to see ECW again.

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL that music for the Legend Killed promo sounds like it should be a Christmas jingle.

[rob11]

Well, at least this beats the constant squash matches.

[KingofOldSchool]

Well, at least this beats the constant squash matches.

:wtf:

At least the squashes were pushing the actually wrestlers.

I'd take squash matches over poor "dancing" segments anyday.

I'm not a huge fan of old ECW talent being constantly squashed even though thats the way it goes. I hope the main event is ok. Haven't checked what it is yet.

[Innovator]

If Vince doesn't get drafted, will he get off my TV?

[KingofOldSchool]

If Vince doesn't get drafted, will he get off my TV?

No, he'll just make his way onto Heros, 24, House, or other Monday night shows.

[rob11]

Boring chant...

[KingofOldSchool]

These idiots in Orlando need to appreciate the awesomeness that it is Burke and Cor Brown.

I would cheer them over the generic underdog face team. Maybe a slight mark out for the pounce.

[Innovator]

Burke and Monty Browvon are two of the 3 good things about ECW

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm not sure how ECW is going down, but I actually called Bobby Lashley taking on the ECW Originals. I would have loved to have seen The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer come out and call out Lashley (who would be cutting a promo in a suit) for not being hardcore enough to represent ECW, which leads to Vince putting Bobby Lashley, The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer into an Extreme Rules main event with the ECW World Title on the line. Then, just for the Hell of it, he adds all the other ECW Originals. That would have included Stevie Richards and Little Guido in my version, as weird as it would have been to see them in a main event.

That made it slightly better.

[KingofOldSchool]

THE POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUNNNCCCCCCCCE

[KingofOldSchool]

Period.

[KingofOldSchool]

Punk vs. Striker

[Innovator]

Striker is gonna GO TO SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

[McLegend]

That dropkick Burke did was pretty sweet.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Good things about ECW (at least, in my opinion):

* Elijah Burke
* CM Punk
* Marcus Cor Von
* Joey Styles
* Matt Striker
* Stevie Richards
* Little Guido
* Kevin Thorn
* The Major Brothers

However, considering there aren't any Tag Team Titles, Guido and Richards don't make appearances, Thorn is going nowhere fast and Joey Styles has been neutered, you can pretty much take it down to Burke, Punk and Cor Von.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Who else would mark out if they changed the name Go To Sleep into the "Punk Punt?"

No one? OK.

[Better Than You]

Striker owns.

[Better Than You]

No one? OK.Nah, thry should call it the take a nap.

[Better Than You]

TAKE A NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!

[KingofOldSchool]

I've noticed that Punk is a damn good merchandise mover, probably on par with the Hardys in terms of merchandise levels.

[Better Than You]

I wouldn't go that far just yet, but I'd definatly say he has potential to surpass the entire mid-card in terms of merch after one or two HIGH profile fueds. Easy.

[KingofOldSchool]

Did Striker raid Lex Luger's wardrobe?

[rob11]

What's this, face heat? Good to finally hear from that crowd.

[KingofOldSchool]

No trust me, I've been to a lot of shows in the last 8 months and I've seen a LOT of Punk shirts, signs, etc.

Also his figures have been selling like hot cakes.

[Better Than You]

While I haven't been to A LOT of shows in the past 6 months (3) I agree. He pushes alot product. But I dont think he's out pushing the Hardys just yet.

Regardless with out a single big fued it's VERY impressive. I mean think about, since coming to the WWE has he even had two PPV blowoff matchs?

I didn't say he was out pushing them, I said he was probably at least on par with them.

You also have to take into account that Punk doesn't have a lot of products out compared to Hardy related stuff.

[Better Than You]

TAKE A NAAAAAAP!

[KingofOldSchool]

So when are we going to see more of the Striker/Burke advancement?

[IC Champion]

I'm not sure how ECW is going down, but I actually called Bobby Lashley taking on the ECW Originals. I would have loved to have seen The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer come out and call out Lashley (who would be cutting a promo in a suit) for not being hardcore enough to represent ECW, which leads to Vince putting Bobby Lashley, The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer into an Extreme Rules main event with the ECW World Title on the line.

That would have included Stevie Richards and Little Guido in my version, as weird as it would have been to see them in a main event.
That may actually be watchable.

[rob11]

Predictible as usual but it wasn't too bad of a match.

[Better Than You]

So when are we going to see more of the Striker/Burke advancement?This loss should get Striker out of the New Breed.

[Better Than You]

Predictible as usual but it wasn't too bad of a match.Predicable is not a bad thing. See Vince Russo for a comparison.

[McLegend]

Matt Striker shouldn't be allowed to wrestle.

He's good on the mic so maybe he could be a good manger or something like that. He might even have potential to do color.

Let him do anything else other then wrestle.

[Better Than You]

Boo

[parkmania]

I loved it when they were talking about RVD and Tazz said, "We wish him (big pause) good luck with his recovery." During the pause, I immediately said "well in his future endeavors."

[DarKCentaur]

Good things about ECW (at least, in my opinion):

* Elijah Burke
* CM Punk
* Marcus Cor Von
* Joey Styles
* Matt Striker
* Stevie Richards
* Little Guido
* Kevin Thorn
* The Major Brothers



So basically, the entire roster. ;)

[Mooияakeя™]

Striker, like most of ECW is under used. He could so be a great heel. In fact, the New Breed has the talent to stick it to ECW. All members. I think I'd keep everyone but Thorn as singles heels, and use Thorn in Tag Team god knows who with.

Punk is a face, and why the fuck Lashley is considered ECW I dunno, him having the belt is stupid.

My big hopes (that could happen) are that the above get used right, Punk is a major player for the title. Dreamer and Sandman are tag team champions and Hardcore Holly is used correctly when he comes back.

Oh yeah, Heyman writing would be f'in awesome.

[RVDmark]

No, he'll just make his way onto Heros, 24, House, or other Monday night shows.

NO, just NO.
