Major ECW Future Changes/Plans
 

Yeah that stuff was from the Hotline



Glad to see Vince is losing that ever so elusive grip on reality.

Goddammit :|

Fucking A.

Honestly, if the booking stays good (which I doubt) and the matches stay good (which I doubt) it will be okay. But if it's reduced to the same shitty stories ( which so far it has been) and shitty in ring matches with the exception of one or two decent ones a month, I'll be really pissed. My interest in WWE is hanging by a thread as it is.

So basically we've got a full on Velocity brand now.

Just keep reminding yourself...

-ROH vs. czw, Cage of Death 7/15
-Bryan Danielson
-Homicide

That's why I said my interest in WWE, not wrestling ;)

Actually, my increased interest in ROH is making it that much harder to watch WWE.

Word.

WRITER: Our wannabe WWE'ized ECW's failing. What should we do?

VINCE: I got it! Lets WWE'ize it even more!!! Then people will love it just like they love Cena!!!

WRITER: But Cena gets boo--

VINCE: PYRO! PYRO! PYRO!


(yeah, borrowed that last line from Terran; thanks)

What I don't get is this...
"Vince McMahon was really let down by the reaction of the crowd at the ECW Arena house show"

They fans pissed on the WWE aspects of it. What do they think is going to happen when they WWEize it more and run a show there? WWE can barely handle 2 brands, how are they going to do three. If ECW isn't an entity of it's own, but simply another show, it's fucked.

Also, my hope for CM Punk getting a good run is now dwindling.

Is this really shocking to anyone?

ECW fans are going to crap all over the WWE-ized portions. Maybethat'll make Vince allow ECW to be more like ECW. Probably not, but there's hope.

A little WWE-ized ECW isn't too bad. A little could actually help ECW in a few places.

Well thats that then, now they are just gonna piss on the ECW legacy.

Just like they did with Eddie, and the rest of the WWE?

:) :) :)

Fixed. :'(

Just thought I would add I'm not sorry Stephen D'Angelous got the axe, as he is a fucking awful ring announcer.

Wow, NO ONE saw this coming.

lol ur all gay

Well, if this is true, then it's not surprising but still disappointing. ECW had a cult following for being ECW. The more that's changed, the more of that following is just going to tune back out of wrestling again. They were really onto something, but ego seems to have gotten the better of the situation. Welcome to professional wrestling.

You know, I think I figured out the master plan in this. After ECW runs it's course, it'll be the end of the Alliance all over again. I think Vince wants the WWE championship to consume all belts possible, so it'll consume the ECW championship, making it the WWE/WCW/ECW championship.

Some people actually believed that this would be ECW all over again, and they were idioits.

NOW?

Vince Mcmahon is a fucking lunatic. He is eccentric and has been for years. he still believes that he knows what fans want even when he doesn't, and believes that his programs are never at fault for bad sales/ratings. I knew that ecw was prob. going to be gay, but not this gay.

Do they even listen to their fans? I'd email them if I felt it would be read or taken somewhat seriously. If enough people email them and tell them to listen to the fans that have somewhat of an understanding maybe they'll take some notice.

<font color=white>Are you lost?</font>

Yes, Extremely Crappy Wrestling won't be crappy anymore.

It'll be just Extremely Wrestling?

It won't be extreme either. It'll be known as W!, until sued by GW Bush.

Wrestling fans everywhere will commit suicide when they are forced to change their named to E!, only to get sued again.

They can't say they weren't warned either...

i told you all ecw died 6 years ago never to come back, i bet paul wishes he could trade places with jim cornet and run roh and tna.

Should we start a collection and hire Paul Heyman and RVD with the proceeds? FVW wrestling (fuck vince Wrestling) could be born.

AAlthough Vince does seem to love copying storylines from brand to another. WWE pissed on Eddie's legacy to give Rey the belt and now they're pissing on ECW's legacy to give RVD the belt. What next? Triple H pissing on Steph to get the belt?

ECW>WWECW

I doubt that, or else Paul Heyman would be in that position right now. He knew that the real ECW wasn't coming back, but he also draws a decent paycheck I'm sure.

yea that is the only reason paul and bischoff are still there that was money well spent by vince, he keeps them there with no power what a waste.

So... does this mean that Kurt Angle and Rob Van Dam are stuck on the fucking C-Show?

I doubt Angle comes back to Vince's baby boy (ECW) when he does return...

RVD on the C-Show is a natural fit. This'll be the only time he'll be seen as championship material.

No knock on him, just the company.

Anyway, this is perfect. Ratings dipped and reception was poor at the house show because peopleexpected ECW, not WWE. Stupid as they are for expecting it, they're disappointed. So ratings go down. Vince decides the problem is there's just too much ECW in ECW, and decides the only logical solution is less ECW and more WWE.

Couldn't they give it more time to devolp instead of just one week's worth of a ratings drop. Rome wasn't built in one day for fucksake

I didn't even see ECW on the rating list last week. And Raw was scoring as well as a movie about a transsexual. Apparently, Vito's gimmick is aptly timed. :shifty:
