TNA ECW

[The Pope]

- Right now, TNA officials know that they're doing an angle with the ECW originals but do not know exactly what that angle will consist of. Different ideas are being discussed, including the idea of eventually producing a second ECW-like brand in the company with it's own TV show.

Well at least they're consistent with trying to completely ruin themselves. They're really making every effort possible to make sure that they fail.

Yup. that's TNA :-\

That wasn't funny dude.

If it's one thing Dr. Perfect knows, it's funny.

That's because he is perfect.

Jeff Hardy and RVD would like to have a word with you.

Probably get high with you.

And Kurt would gladly give you some pills.

And don't forget big 'ol Scotty "Two-Timey" Steiner's Roid-o-Rama.

[The Pope]

Xero, that doesn't make sense with what was being talked about.

[Xero]

Oh, guess you just forgot to add "Addiction" in your joke.

My bad.

[ministrychick77]

this would be interesting. as in, interestingly bad. as much as i'd love to see the ecw guys used, they'd be used the wrong way.

That's not very fanboyish of you. I demand you stop being logical.

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe we can see The Pope lead some sort of stable full of "new breed" wrestlers to go against the ECW Originals.

[Kane Knight]

And then they can join Punk's stable.

[Lock Jaw]

That goes without saying.

[owenbrown]

They'll all be jobbing to Hogan at the next PPV....after he wins the World Title

[DAMN iNATOR]

ECW vs. WCW 2011...Coming soon to a 2nd-rate wrestling promotion nowhere near you, unless you live in or around Orlando!

[Kane Knight]

That goes without saying.

Too late. Already said it.

[Rammsteinmad]

Why can't people just get over ECW for fucks sake. Nobody cares anymore, and all the 'originals' are like, old and ugly, and with the exception of one or two, none of them are even half as good as they were back in 2000.

I would like to see one of the TNA die-hard fans come into this thread and try to defend this idea.

[tjmidnight420]

It's brilliant! :shifty:

[Swiss Ultimate]

What we need now is the kind of garbage wrestling that put CZW on the map!

[Steveviscious89]

Come on guys.....this is exactly what TNA needs right now. Don't you guys know a good idea when you...........alright I just can't do it. This is NOT a good idea. I mean this has to be some kind of diversion rumor...I hope.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Instead of trying to revolutionize the sport they need to work on getting the fundamentals right.

[Ermaximus]

If Taz wrestles, I might give a shit. The rest of this idea is just awful. So I'm guessing TNA will reach out for Balls Mahoney, Spike, Jerry Lynn, and the Blue Meanie next?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Taz will never wrestle again. I loved him so much in the 90s...

[tjmidnight420]

Come on guys.....this is exactly what TNA needs right now. Don't you guys know a good idea when you...........alright I just can't do it. This is NOT a good idea. I mean this has to be some kind of diversion rumor...I hope.

Yeah it takes a special kind of fan to pull this one off.... someone go let the trolls out of the box... :shifty:

[screech]

But they need to "CHANGE THE INDUSTRY FOREVER!!!"

[tjmidnight420]

They need to figure out which industry they're trying to change first. :shifty:

[Razzamajazz]

TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!

[screech]

I remember hearing about this idea a while back. It slightly interested me, but then I realized what would almost certainly come of it.

[The Pope]

I'm pretty sure the "ECW Originals" will recruit some younger guys to go to the team that are a bit "Extreme" so they can get over.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Like Neal or Sharkboy.

[The Pope]

Homicide, Abyss, Tomko, and Kiyoshi

[erickman]

I'm pretty sure the "ECW Originals" will recruit some younger guys to go to the team that are a bit "Extreme" so they can get over.

yeah if they do it like flairs new group i am all for it. anyway i like the badass abyss i hope it is paul-e managing him.

[Xero]

lol if Abyss starts wearing a "TNF'nA" hat and shaves his head all but a pony tail.

You ask on a board that so thoroughly fetishises wrestlers?

[Rammsteinmad]

No no my friend, what I'm saying is that maybe one or two of them are at least half as good as what they used to be. Rob Van Dam may not be as good as he was in 2000, but he can still put on a great match.

Same certainly can't be said for someone like Sandman.

[Rammsteinmad]

Oh wait, I just re-read Dr Perfect's quote of mine, I see what you did there... :foc:

[XL]

Not sure where I stand on this.

On one hand I could ask what the results of this survey even mean? People like ECW, yeah we get it. But they liked ECW when it was a little company booked by Paul Heyman.

10 Years Later: The biggest star from TNA (RVD) is already in TNA and holding the World Title. Meanwhile, you also have a number of other ECW "talent" on your payroll (Raven, Stevie, 3D, Rhino(?), etc) that are well past their best day and you've now signed a recently released Tommy Dreamer. WWE has already bled the ECW name dry and bastarized it beyond belief.

So all-in-all TNA are left with a group of past-their-prime guys reliving something they did 10 years ago but probably without the guy that made it all work in the first place. Nice.

On the otherhand, WWECW was diluted down to fit in with the broadcast standards of SyFy/WWE whereas TNA seem to have a lot more leeway with their production (hence the overuse of profanity and blood on every Impact) and might make a decent go of it as a throwback to the original ECW format.

[Swiss Ultimate]

NXA TXA.

lol

[parkmania]

Gee, ECW was on Spike (then TNN) once before and failed to get over. But Hogan/Bischoff will make all the difference in the world 10 years later. :shifty:

[tjmidnight420]

I honestly don't think TNA can do any better of a job, even with the extra leeway.

[FearedSanctity]

Really don't care for this, but...

If the rumors of the trying to bring in Heyman (again) are true, if they didn't want to dump Hogan/Bischoff, couldn't they just create a second "brand" like someone mentioned was an option earlier, and just give Heyman free reign for that, thus pretty much making everyone "happy"?

Heyman backing this would be the only way I give any kind of a damn. That plus TNA not having to be PG and Spike seemingly having no problems with violence (only fire) or wanting ridiculous gimmicks would give this at least a tiny bit of promise, IMO

[DLVH84]

If Taz wrestles, I might give a shit. The rest of this idea is just awful. So I'm guessing TNA will reach out for Balls Mahoney, Spike, Jerry Lynn, and the Blue Meanie next?

I doubt Jerry Lynn will ever return to TNA. He's doing just fine in ROH.

[tjmidnight420]

Really don't care for this, but...

Heyman backing this would be the only way I give any kind of a damn.

I agree entirely.

[Kane Knight]

I'm not sure even Heyman could save this. He's a booker, not a Messiah.

I'd be glad to be proved wrong, however.

[Rammsteinmad]

Another problem with these ECW stables is that they always consist of the same guys. Come on can't they try and get some different ECW people for a change?

Yep.

[Ruien]

We now have 3 sides to TNA, all lead by old has beens. You got the Ric Flairs group, Hulk Hogans group, and now what ever has been leads ECWTNA. Oh, you also got the old Sting guy doing his own thing with t.v time.

I wish we still had the show so we could make fun of this.

I think this is a case of putting the pussy on a pedestal.

[nrt4]

I highly doubt Heyman will come to TNA. Considering the fact that ECW was on Spike back when the channel was TNN. Although he might b/c Spike actually promotes TNA when TNN didn't promote ECW.

[The Pope]

Spike isn't owned by the same people anymore.

[FearedSanctity]

Your point is made irrelevant by the fact that when MTV/Viacom bought The Nashville Network and made it into The National Network, they pretty much cleared house. That combined with the fact its been 10 years means that there's really no one left there anymore for Heyman to be bitter at

[Innovator]

ECW is dead. I loved it but it's dead. Move on.

Hello? Wrestling fans.

[erickman]

well we know where ryno is for the wheres ryno thread he was on tna last night. i would like to see paul-e join i want to see him an bischoff fued.

[FourFifty]

ECW had good moments, but a lot of it was garbage wrestling. Some great promos here and there, but New Jack & The Sandman aren't wrestlers. Rob Van Dam is a hell of a wrestler whose hands are stained with blood because of his "extreme" matches, and ECW had a lot of good legitimate wrestlers go into their ring... but a group based entirely on Hardcore wrestling is.... stupid.

[erickman]

ECW is dead. I loved it but it's dead. Move on.

yep it died in 2000 like wcw, but i want to see what tna does with some of there guys, i think it will be better then the wwecw on syfy that was crap shot gun sat night was better then that. well if anything atleast abyss is the monster again an that is good.

You know how i feel about TNA but I am going to agree with you on this. Watching impact on thursday just made me think WHY? It seems like this angle is lacking so much. Maybe if Heyman came to TNA he would realize this and make it better. Who Knows:nono:

[Swiss Ultimate]

wow the wrestling forum is getting to be like TNA now

Because of the hiring formerly-popular posters from other forums?

[Blind-Rage]

If TNA is going to get extreme please for the love of God TNA get the heck out of the impact zone. I feel that they are the most boring and quiet people around. With free tickets given to them I wonder if they are real fans or do they just want to get on tv. They do not appreciate what these guys do and it shows. This past impact had some really good matches and the people just sat all quiet with a few clapping. Just comes off bad on tv. My opinion is that they need to tour, or tape in New York or Philly where they have some great fans that would appreciate them. Come on TNA!!!!!!!

[Ruien]

Wha?
