ECW takes a step in the right direction (spoilers)
 

I thought the show went well tonight well the few minutes I saw were good.

Test going over Sabu was good because since he's leaving anyway might was well put some one over, however I believe they should have had a feud which would end at SNME.

As much as I wanted RVD to win the ending was well called (Yeah the last move was botched) hopefully RVD will feud with lashley and win the title at SNME then face Punk at mania.

RVD is not winning the title anytime soon

I thought the RVD/Lashly match was pretty good, but overall I didn't really like the show.

watch them put the title on Hardcore Holly. I'm serious

Lashley needs to show some blood though or atleast start choking people out, cuz he is def not ECW material.

I thought SNME was finished?

I think it is part of the contract with NBC Universal (USA's parent company) that Vince gets 2 primetime specials a year hence SNME

yeah for 06 and 07 after 07 though its prob not coming back.

i think he is headed to tna as soon as he gets a chance.

That was the PERFECT analogy.

As for RVD getting the strap I would bet he doesn't even want it now witht he direction ECW is heading. He probably X's every day off his calender leading up to his contract expiration and has "TNA Debut" written in and circled and the first show they have he can legally appear at.

I wonder how RVD will do in TNA without the Rob Van Dam name... I bet Vince owns it

Punk is fired?

Goulet RVD was wrestling on the indies with that name before ECW, just like Christian was using Christian pre-WWE. He can use the RVD name.

if rvd was smart enough to trademark it before vince could i hope for his sake he was.

Robbe Vann Damme

Robert Van Doom.

Rob 'Jean-Claude' Van Damme.

He may be able to use "Rob Van Dam", but could he use "RVD"?

:y:

I realize that, but look what he did with the Dudleys... I wouldn't be suprised to see that Vince trademared it

As for Sabu, yeah, I'm a really fucking huge mark for him, but he SUCKS as a normal wrestler. In fact, if I didn't know about his hardcore career before WWE, I woulda thought he was just some horrible jobber. As for making people look good, his bad regular wrestling skills actually makes them look bad.

Added to that, it was a HUGE mistake putting him on the mic. I'm sorry, but the man has zero mic skills and can't talk for shit.

Test > Sabu. I don't care what you say.

And it ruins his character. He's not even SUPPOSED to talk.

Jeff Hardy didn't have to change his name in TNA. I don't think RVD has to worry.

When it's his real name I doubt he's got much to worry about.

Good point. I heard Vince tried to by the rights to his birth certificate though and he almost had to wrestle in TNA as Jiff Nardy. :shifty:

Since you dont care ill just say...You suck Tests penis :shifty:
