Wow, just WOW. I can't remember looking so forward to something and being so disappointed.
To start the show, why not have an impromtu-ECW style match between Edge/Cena/RVD for the Title instead of that bullshit. Start out with a SOLID meaningful match. Sabu could have interfered, kicking Cena's ass and caused RVD to get the pinfall over Cena...thus setting up Cena/Sabu for Vengance and given it some meaning. That match could have been a solid 20-30 minutes and given ECW instant momentum and credibility. Have Angle destroy the Zombie in a squash match and have Sandman/Credible/Dreamer in a cane match or something.
Then if you want to make Show look like a monster ECW style, have the battle royal..but have it be a "Last Man Not Put Through a Table Wins" battle royal. That would have been a more ECW feel than that "Yard Tard" fest we had to endure. That just reeked of WWF "hardcore" bullshit.
And Kelly...jezus, where I do I begin with that. Vermaat could have unhooked a bra faster than that. Why not have Trinity come out and destroy her, thus introducing 2 ECW chicks at once and developing some kind of feud or story-line. That was just insulting. Served no purpose and was a waste of time.
With the limited roster that they have, they need to go back to the way old school ECW shows were scheduled. Develop some story lines and have 1-2 SOLID matches that made you want to tune in the following week.
But, alas it's going to be a lost cause if they are gonna insist on taping in front of a Smackdown/WWE audience. That's fucking pointless beyond words and has been touched on by most of you guys. Christ, why not just tape Smackdown at the ECW Arena Vince? Who in the hell thought that would possibly work? I mean, they just shot ONS two days ago...why not have the first ECW show from the same venue and keep the momentum they had?
This is like a horse that broke all four legs out of the gate.
