Anyone who complains about Kurt Angle and Big Show being in ECW clearly doesn't understand a thing about Paul Heyman. Heyman has always loved the 'Ultimate Fight' style gimmick...he did it with Tazz, and Kurt Angle, who by the way, is every bit as great as he's made out to be, for god's sake he's the most credible athlete in professional wrestling today, and Heyman will use him correctly. Kurt Angle, the 'machine' has Paul Heyman written all over it, and he can wrestle, everyone knows that. If you can't take a look at Kurt Angle and see what Heyman is going to do with him, I'm not sure you can even call yourself an ECW fan.

As far as the Big Show goes, he's the largest athlete going today. Again, Heyman is going to have big plans for him, and you'll probably see Heyman actually give him character, rather than just lumbering around and generally being there, as the WWE has done over and over in the past. Put Big Show in the ECW atmosphere and he's going to be a monster.

The new ECW IS NOT the old ECW. This is not ECW in the Bingo Hall, this is a new ECW with a new vision. ECW style is still going to be there, just with some major talent to help put over some new stars. By the way, you need stars to help make new stars, and that's what guys like Kurt Angle are going to do. I hate to say it, but the Shane Douglas versus Sabu versus Terry Funk days are over. New stars just don't come out of thin air. You can't reinvent ECW and put the belt on an indy guy you've never heard of. WWE has been the only face in professional wrestling for the last couple of years and it's going to do all it can to give ECW every edge it can get to get over to a mainstream audience.

By the way, for everyone complaining about the WWE versus ECW show...it 'wasn't' an ECW show. One Night Stand is an ECW show. WWE versus ECW was exactly what it said it was going to be, WWE versus ECW. In my opinion, I would stop complaining that you aren't going to be able to see the belt put on Mickey Whipwreck and understand that WWE has some major talent that Heyman can put to use. If this 'was' ECW back in the day, and Kurt Angle left WWE to show up on ECW, he'd be a made man.

I guess the message here is, just watch what Heyman's going to put together. Even if it IS WWECW, it'll be much better than the shit RAW and Smackdown have been shoving down our throats for the last couple of years.

Edit: To seem less ranty, as suggested, and completely correct, cheers.
