ECW Thread

[CSL]

<font color=white>Nice Vince speech.

And Cena starts off :eek: </font>

[RP]

Yah good speech

Man Nitro is awsome with that belt. This guy is gunna be big time.

[RP]

I cant believe they give Nitro this huge boost and give him the ECW title and then they feed him to Cena two nights later. LOL

[Linkbowler]

Honestly, I've never been happier to see John Cena.

[CSL]

<font color=white>I fucking hate Sopcast.</font>

[RGWhat316]

Right choice of a speech by Vince. No reason to apologize for a tribute show, just move on with why we watch this.

[RP]

fantastic match so far.

[Gone Mad]

It's good to see the show come back after all that's happened and still feel strong. And I am so digging Nitro with the belt.

[KingofOldSchool]

A part of me is thinking we're going to see either Punk vs. Chavo or Punk vs. MVP as the main event tonight.

[Linkbowler]

Now that MNM's completely split up, I wish Nitro would go back to the Monday Nitro entrance music. Leave the MNM shit for Melina.

[Shaggy]

I can honestly say that Ive never been happier to see John Cena on my tv....

After the recent events I have put my hatred aside for all the characters I dislike in hopes that they just entertain us in this sad time.

So far...best WWECW show ever...

[RP]

HOLY FUCK WHO JUST SAW THAT PATTY MELT THICK BURGER COMMERCIAL??? I JUST CAME IN MY UNDEROOS

[RP]

If Nitro went over right now, it'd boost him to one of the top 4 spots in the company imo.

[RP]

OH GEEZ super Cena

[Azriel]

Nicely done Vince :y:

Pretty good match so far too

[RP]

Nitro reversed the FU!!

[RP]

I cant help but think he's gunna get eating by the Cena monster here.

[Shaggy]

Im hoping Nitro goes over tonight...would definently boost him

[Skippord]

Nitro rules

He was still a bad choice for the champion though

it should have been Cor Von or Burke

[Skippord]

Fuck

[Linkbowler]

Nice legdrop!

[Shaggy]

and Nitro taps two seconds after I post that

[Shaggy]

Good match....just what I needed to lighten the mood

[KingofOldSchool]

I'm not mad about Cena winning only because tonight isn't about storylines or shit.

[McLegend]

I thought that match was good

[RP]

Fucking brilliant wwe. Fucking brilliant booking there. Book the shows champion to job to Cena his first match after winning the title. Wouldnt wanna give the belt any credibility now would we?

[KingofOldSchool]

NIIIICE

[KingofOldSchool]

Punk FTW

[Linkbowler]

OK, that match sounds seriously bad ass.

Punk v. Burke 2 of 3. *drool*

[Shaggy]

Seeing this Vengeance commercial makes me wonder if WWE will edit the whole "Taking Benoits place..." thing out of the Punk/Nitro match on the dvd and just have it with Nitro coming to the ring after Punk.

[Skippord]

lol Foley looks like such a scumbag

[Shaggy]

OK, that match sounds seriously bad ass.

Punk v. Burke 2 of 3. *drool*

yea but oddly enough....Punk hasnt had any good matches since he has been in ECW...I loved him on ROH but I have not seen a good one on one match yet with him in ECW..

But maybe thiat will all change tonight....

[RottingFreak]

Something tells me we won't see Bobby Lashleyy perform tonight.

[RottingFreak]

...or Batista/

[KingofOldSchool]

yea but oddly enough....Punk hasnt had any good matches since he has been in ECW...I loved him on ROH but I have not seen a good one on one match yet with him in ECW..

But maybe thiat will all change tonight....

The Punk/Burke match at the PPV a couple of months ago was pretty good.

He also had a few pretty decent squash type matches with Stevie Richards.

PIPER!!

[Skippord]

RODDY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Linkbowler]

ROWDY RODDY!

[RP]

PIPER ( hopefully sober )

[Shaggy]

PIPER on ECW!!!! AWESOME!!!!

[Skippord]

Piper is awesome

[Linkbowler]

Piper's gonna beat the shit out of Striker.

[RP]

ROFL strykers impersonation.

[Shaggy]

The Punk/Burke match at the PPV a couple of months ago was pretty good.

He also had a few pretty decent squash type matches with Stevie Richards.

PIPER!!


I never cared for his squash matches much...Im just looking forward to a really long bad ass marathon match...

But yea...you did bring up some good thoughts of him...

[RP]

Piper and Snuka should have a match.

[Shaggy]

Is today really his birthday????

[Linkbowler]

Somebody's getting a cake in the face. Nothing like a little slapstick to lighten the mood.

[Azriel]

Ok, who's getting the cake in the face?

[Skippord]

Striker is cool

[CSL]

<font color=white>Piper looks more badass nowadays than he ever has. With clothes on that is.</font>

[KingofOldSchool]

I never cared for his squash matches much...Im just looking forward to a really long bad ass marathon match...

But yea...you did bring up some good thoughts of him...

And let's not forget most of his matches up until a few months ago were either squashes or against Hardcore Holly.

[Linkbowler]

They'd have to pay royalties to the copyright holder if he did sing.

[RP]

GREATNESS LOL

[Shaggy]

And let's not forget most of his matches up until a few months ago were either squashes or against Hardcore Holly.

true...true....he had to be the new face of ECW

[Linkbowler]

CAKEFIGHT!!! CAAAAAAAAKEFIIIIIIIIIGHT!

[KingofOldSchool]

ROFL Striker's dead.


Whoops bad pun.

[Skippord]

Piper is amazing

[Linkbowler]

BOOGEN!

[Linkbowler]

Time for some worm cake.

[Shaggy]

I hope Smackdown is as good as this....

[RP]

Oh wtf thats disgusting.

[mrslackalack]

Striker does a dead-on Piper (he did it on Pipers DVD)

[KingofOldSchool]

30 minutes approx for Burke/Punk *orgasms*

[Azriel]

Ugh!

[Shaggy]

Everytime I see that scene of a wrestler with worms in their month....I wanna puke

[mrslackalack]

The best ECW show in a while

[Shaggy]

I agree with mr slack a lack

[Skippord]

I love The Miz

just saying

[mrslackalack]

Think somebody like a Jeff Hardy or Umaga goes to ECW now?

[RP]

and your basic " i'm the champion " promo.

[KingofOldSchool]

I would've marked the fuck out if Cor Von came out of nowhere and Pounced Nitro right on the spot.

[Linkbowler]

Four knuckles. Upside yo' head.

[KingofOldSchool]

Think somebody like a Jeff Hardy or Umaga goes to ECW now?

I was thinking either Jeff Hardy or Rey Mysterio when he returns.

[mrslackalack]

This is gonna be a good 15 minute main event

[Amaroqwolf]

Hey, if Jeff Hardy goes to ECW Shadow might acctually start watching it.

[SammyG]

Hey, I missed Vince's speech, can someone recap it please? Also, msn.foxsports.com's front story is the Benoit thing now, some writer has a story up about the history of wrestling.

[mrslackalack]

Reys returning at GAB aint he?

[Shaggy]

They might send Jeff Hardy to ECW considering they mentioned that Matt was gonna get a push on Smackdown.....now they just need to move Jeff to ECW...

Granted I dont care for Jeff...

[KingofOldSchool]

IMO, Punk's tights should be red and blue instead of blue and black.

[mrslackalack]

Hardy going to ECW would be great. I mean have a title ladder match against Nitro, plus he would have great matches against Burke and Punk

[Shaggy]

Hey, I missed Vince's speech, can someone recap it please? Also, msn.foxsports.com's front story is the Benoit thing now, some writer has a story up about the history of wrestling.

Last night on Monday Night Raw, the WWE presented a special tribute show, recognizing the career of Chris Benoit. However, now some 26 hours later, the facts of this horrific tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments, there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit tonight. On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight, the WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world--entertain you.

They have the vid and speech up on the main WWE page....its the first button to the right...

[mrslackalack]

I hope Matt does get a push, he had a great match with Finlay on the last Smackdown

[SammyG]

Why does Punk have the Pepsi logo tattooed on his shoulder?

[KingofOldSchool]

Punk loves Pepsi.

[KingofOldSchool]

I have a feeling this match will end up a draw especially since this match is slowly paced.

[Vastardikai]

I wonder if they're gonna do Regal-Finlay on Smackdown.

[TapOut]

Why does Punk have the Pepsi logo tattooed on his shoulder?

When the boys go out for drinks, he drinks Pepsi. Or that's the story anyways.

[KingofOldSchool]

Diet Pepsi at that.

[Shaggy]

Why does Punk have the Pepsi logo tattooed on his shoulder?

Back when he first started in ECW they asked him why he had it...

He said that he knew a guy who had a Dr.Pepper logo on his arm...when the guy was asked why had the logo he simply said... "I like Dr. Pepper"...Punk said he didnt like Dr. Pepper...but Liked Pepsi...so he got that instead...

Atleast thats what he said on a WWE.com interview a while back

[KingofOldSchool]

I think the real story is on Punk's website.

[SammyG]

haha, what a loser. Anyway, can someone tell me what Vince said in the beggining? I missed it.

[Skippord]

Back when he first started in ECW they asked him why he had it...

He said that he knew a guy who had a Dr.Pepper logo on his arm...when the guy was asked why had the logo he simply said... "I like Dr. Pepper"...Punk said he didnt like Dr. Pepper...but Liked Pepsi...so he got that instead...

I think it was the guitarist of Minor Threat and the coke logo

but its generally the same thing anyway

[mrslackalack]

Dont they take off the Pepsi tattoo of Punks on WWE video pics and action figures?

[SammyG]

UH WTF. LMAO Punk slapping Burke like 3 times.

[SammyG]

lmao Burke too. YOU STUPID PUNK

[KingofOldSchool]

They took that pin sequence from the Benoit/Malenko Hog Wild match.

[SammyG]

This is a tremendous match. GO TO SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

[RP]

Nice ending

[mrslackalack]

Its funny how Nitro/Melina spilt up and Melina loses her womens title and Nitro shockingly becomes ECW world champ

[mrslackalack]

great match

[Skippord]

They took that pin sequence from the Benoit/Malenko Hog Wild match.
Thats what I said when I saw it

[Shaggy]

I think it was the guitarist of Minor Threat and the coke logo

but its generally the same thing anyway


Thats right....I was thinking Dr. Pepper cause I remember joking with a friend after telling him that story that I would have to get a Dr. Pepper one....

Thanks for the correct info...

But damn, I can't believe it but I have a whole new appreciation for Cena. I have an appreciation for enjoying a show and the business that I once fell in love with. The little things don't matter. After all this, who honestly cares about booking or finishes. How about entertainment. For all the mat technique and in ring skill Benoit had, he was a terrible person.

John Cena > Chris Benoit

I hope I can find it in myself to enjoy wrestling again and stop focusing on the little things and not taking the other stuff for granted.

It's not easy to wrestle the first match since the biggest occurence in wrestling history. Cena and Nitro did a great job.

[Shadow]

No he won't. If anything, I'll watch even less wrestling.

[Londoner]

WWE seems to have done a great job in brainwashing you guys into liking Cena, guess they knew what they were doing! Seriously though, pisses me off that he goes over the ECW champ ON ECW..but then this isnt about storylines so i'll hide my frustration for this week. Doesn't really matetr at the end of the day anyway.

[Mr. JL]

That was a great wrestling show!

[Tommy Gunn]

I think if Nitro had gone up against Cena on Raw last week, it would have been a squash match.

IMO they made Nitro look quite good against Cena and even though we knew he wouldn't win Nitro still reversed quite alot of Cena's moves.

Seeing as it was a straight up wrestling show with no storylines this week I enjoyed it for what it was.

[IC Champion]

Why would they feed Nitro the ECW world champion to John Cena? They can't cant do a full week without having Cena squash someone.

[IC Champion]

Also, Matt Stryker is the straight goods.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Honestly, from the standpoint of a fan, I bet having Roddy Piper smash a cake in his face on his birthday was the greatest thing ever for Matt Striker.

[Jeritron]

Why would they feed Nitro the ECW world champion to John Cena? They can't cant do a full week without having Cena squash someone.

Dude, there's enough shit making wrestling hard to enjoy this week. This shit doesn't matter right now. They put a champion versus champion match on to entertain us. It was pretty good.
I'm looking forward to Smackdown where they can just entertain us for 2 hours. I only wish they would have some interviews with wrestlers telling us how they realy feel now. But whatever.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Jeritron, you seem to be taking this ridiculously hard. Do you need a hug, buddy?

I don't know, sometimes there are sometimes there aren't. I've been trying to figure it out myself...

[IC Champion]

So is life, this kind of shit happens to people from all walks of life, the man was obviouslt mentally ill, thinking about it isn't going to help, its happened, nothing we can do, move on and just enjoy wrestling for what it is.

[James Steele]

Last night was an awesome show. I wonder if they are changing the ECW on SciFi theme song from "Bodies" to that Puddle of Mudd song. They used it in the match promos and "Tonight, ECW is brought to you by..." spots, which usually when the show theme song plays.

[chrisat928]

Did anyone else notice how Tazz and Joey Styles sounded? It sounded like they completly forgot Chris Benoit. They were making jokes and laughing.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm sure they were instructed to do so. Would you really expect it any other way? The show must go on.

[311]

I was frankly happy to see the show altogether...I'm sure they felt the same way.

[James Steele]

If they were taking away any signs that mentioned Benoit, imagine what they told the workers. When it looked like CM Punk was looking up at the sky and pointing and saying something, they cut away. WWE is completely removing Chris Benoit from their product.

[311]

I love that the fans popped on Burke's back bridge. Good to see the classics can still get over. :y:

[Jeritron]

how long before people start saying "Punk is in the doghouse" haha

But, I don't recall him pointing or saying anything. I just recall him celebrating the way he has after every match I've seen him win ever.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Either that or he could have been doind it about his kid and wife *shrug*.

Regardless, I think that was the best hour of WWE TV I've seen in quite some time. It was surprising, in an hour of TV they gave us matches with more time given to them than on a 2-hour Raw or Smackdown. I wasn't happy about Nitro getting the belt because there are more heels than faces who could be seen as legitamtly getting the title than there are faces, but if they do a nice 2 month fued between Nitro and Punk, try and make the belt seem like it's worth a shit, Punk takes it and then you have Nitro, Cor Von and Burke chasing.

Did RVD sign a new contract in the end? He's still listed on ECWs page so he would obviously be a top face. Hell, turn Thorn (which I feel could be easily done while keeping his gimmick) and you have 3 faces and 3 heels in the title picture with Vis as the typical big guy no-one can beat, until one of those main-event guys does to elevate them.

Hell, if they do this right, ECW could be better than Raw or Smackdown weekly...

[KingofOldSchool]

I saw it, he did a point to the sky and then made teary eyed gesture.
