http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/superstars/

And they have a Superstars page.

Kane Knight 05-25-2006 11:25 AM

IT'd be better if the page was up on Sci.Fi.com.

Innovator 05-25-2006 11:36 AM

YES! GOOD FUCKING TIMESLOT!

Kane Knight 05-25-2006 11:44 AM

Word.

Rob 05-25-2006 11:49 AM

Shame its gonna be filmed in a Smackdown building with fans who came to see Smackdown.

The idea wouldn't be that bad down the line but it's horrible to start with. WWE fans don't know the ECW guys of old and the ones they do know, WWE have shit all over in the last 3 years.

Maybe we'll get lucky, and those ECW mutants'll start going to Smackdown ! Tapings. You know? That'd be interesting (Though the reactions would be edited so we wouldn't ever really know).

Also, Innovator, this isn't the SVT Cobra's Myspace thread...

Innovator 05-25-2006 11:56 AM

How dare he disgrace the good name of Vanilla Ice in his Myspace...






EDIT: Post # 9.......666!

St. Jimmy 05-25-2006 12:06 PM

... see, and even though i'm excited... all i can think is negative.
1) RVD no longer on my Monday Nights. Under-exposure.
2) Funk on the fucking roster. Seriously, this guy makes Flair look like Spanky.

crash99 05-25-2006 12:10 PM

It's good that they got a tv deal, no matter where it is. It might not be the best, but I'm looking foward to being able to check it out.

Jaton 05-25-2006 12:16 PM

I think I'm going to have a wrestling overload.
Monday - Raw
Tuesday - ECW
Wednesday - 24/7 day
Thursday - Impact
Friday - Smackdown
Saturday - 24/7 again
Sunday - Some ppv. With SD, Raw, ECW, AND TNA, there should be a PPV almost every week now?

St. Jimmy 05-25-2006 12:16 PM

Also must give credit to WWE. If they have this planned out like i think they do,
then Raw, Smackdown, and ECW will have a PPV Once Every 3-4 Months that isn't brand merged.

Innovator 05-25-2006 12:17 PM

If you get into MMA, you get PPVs on Saturday

Lara Emily 05-25-2006 12:28 PM

ANy idea what the plans would be for Canada and so forth?

Xero 05-25-2006 12:34 PM

How are they going to do this? Are they going to show ECW on a tape delay that night or film it for the NEXT week?

Dorkchop 05-25-2006 12:41 PM

That is an awesome timeslot.

Corkscrewed 05-25-2006 12:42 PM

think Tazz will actually wrestle?

St. Jimmy 05-25-2006 12:43 PM

I'd mark out if they did it at a seperate Arena, and did it live.

I think he's too out of shape. I'd love him to slim down and get back his upper body. I used to fucking Mark for the Human Suplex Machine.

I heard a rumor (not sure if it's true or not) that Tazz may have an MMA manager-type gimmick where he builds up a stable of fighters. I heard he may commentate as well, serving as Styles' color man.

The return of Team Taz? I could see this working as a good way to introduce OVW guys, since they used to introduce guys from the House Of Hardcore in the original TT (Chetti, Roadkill, etc.)

Mr. JL 05-25-2006 02:11 PM

a one hour timeslot? or two?

Xero 05-25-2006 02:13 PM

One hour, as the first article states.

happylad 05-25-2006 02:16 PM

Is one night stand going to become a Smackdown and Raw VS ECW tournament every year then? A bit like invasion ?

Xero 05-25-2006 02:18 PM

I don't know about that, but WWE did add an extra PPV date in December, so it could be an ECW PPV.

Mr. JL 05-25-2006 02:18 PM

lol, that is what I get for only clicking one link.

December To Remember?

Wrestling on Sci-Fi?

Maybe ET will be a Main Eventer.

they can have will shatner come in again and start throwing wrestlers out of the ring. that was a clasic moment when he did that before.

mike627 05-25-2006 03:32 PM

This is gonna be very awesome ECW back on TV.I went to the WWE chat rooms and alot of SD fans are pissing and moaning about it.

Stickman 05-25-2006 03:39 PM

I wouldn't get too excited. ECW in a larger wwe ring, real ropes for ropes, no small arena feel. It'll be smackdown hardcore if anything.

darkpower 05-25-2006 03:46 PM

Sci-Fi has been pretty good lately. They've shown at least one of the Resident Evil movies recently.

But why can't it be a week earlier, when I'm going to be going to the Smack Down taping in Wheeling?

Hmm...maybe they'll announce it there or something.

They have to keep programming on UPN for 2 more years.

As ECW won't cut it on network TV, I have to say Smackdown's not going anywhere.

Which is right up there with greats such as "Mammoth," "Leeches!" and "Mosquito."
