It kind of made sense Joey Styles ripped into the fans. I'd love to see ECW rip into the fans that never watched ECW, but still claim to be fans of it.
Putting them over as a bitter entity out for blood seems like the thing to do, in my opinion. Next week, I'd have Tommy Dreamer run in during the main event (Edge vs. Mick Foley in a Hardcore Rematch from WrestleMania 22), caning the fuck out of Edge, then caning the fuck out of Jerry Lawler. Good Ol' JL is pretty much an icon for what the WWE stands for currently. Their whole sports entertainment shtick. Dreamer caning the fuck out of King at ringside would either be cheered because it is an extreme act (which means ECW have no chance what-so-ever of getting over as heels), or it will be booed by casual fans, meaning it has a chance.
Am I the only one who would mark out if Tommy Dreamer came out to do colour commentary in place of King (since Dreamer often replaces Jonathan Coachman on Heat) and he leaves JR high and dry out there just to show JR how he's not even in Joey Styles' ballpark?
Vince McMahon could then come out, fire Tommy Dreamer for his conduct the previous week, and for ignoring every single demand made over the headset for him to do his job. Dreamer rises from his chair with a kendo stick. Edge comes out and says he doesn't want Vince to fire Tommy Dreamer until he's had his way with him. Vince fires Tommy because he doesn't want to sign his paychecks anymore, but offers Tommy Dreamer the chance to face Edge at the WWE vs. ECW Special. He also gives Joey Styles the chance to come back and do commentary with JR to see who really is the greatest commentator of all-time.
Knowing the WWE, Shane McMahon will be angry at Vince for not being there when his son was born, or he catches Vince and Marissa in the act, so he "buys" ECW somehow and somehow convinces all the former ECW superstars to come back and fight against Vince and the WWE guys who "love their jobs" and forget that they hate each other. I honestly expect to see Edge & Kane win the ECW Tag Team Championship during this time.
