I saw a highlight video of RVD vs. Big Show on SmackDown!, and I must say, the match looked pretty intense, and the atmosphere seemed great. I'm actually going to admit I may have been wrong about this new ECW.
I'm expecting Heyman comes out and says that if ECW is going to survive, it needs to become sports entertainment. Vince McMahon once told Heyman that ECW couldn't exist in the big time with its extreme attitude, and Heyman wants to exist. Rob Van Dam, The Sandman, Justin Credible, Sabu, Kurt Angle and CM Punk will likely be the faces of the promotion; Big Show, Test, Mike Knox, Fertig and Gangrel the heels.
They really need two hours, though. Part of the reason the matches are short is due to time contraints, I think. Little Guido will only be able to wrestle without limits if there is time. Mike Knox and Test won't impress anyone unless there is time for them to show they are more talented big men. The WWE should really film bonus matches for ECW.com, or something.
