I have no ill will towards WWECW, seriously. As long as I can get a CM Punk fix, it's all good. I am going to say, however:
Big Show is not ECW. He's WWE, through and through. That being said, he has stepped up his game quite a bit, and is doing the best work in his career. But he's a WWE guy, and will be remembered as a WWE guy. Slapping an ECW shirt on him doesn't change that fact. End of story.
The only things about ECW that are still ECW are Joey Styles doing (some) of the commentating, and the Letters used to describe the promotion. Excepting Angle/RVD, there hasn't really been a true ECW match since it's come to Sci-Fi. (I don't mean Garbage Epic, I mean really. Good. Wrestling. The match that turned me onto the company was Malenko/Guerrero, not the New Jack-garbage shit.)
Also, the two WWE guys fighting for the ECW Title bit is a joke. Though I am seeing quite a few parallels between ECW and the Alliance storyline. I have more issues with the likes of Mike Knox and Kelly Kelly: A Generic Big guy getting a push, never seen THAT before.
A stripper wannabe that can't even dance, even better.
I'm gonna call it now. Next Week, it's gonna be Big Show defending against A: Randy Orton, B: John Cena, or C: Triple H.
I don't hate the product, far from it. It'd be my favorite brand if it had different letters to promote it. Be honest with yourself: ECW is ECW in name only. The fact that McMahon seems to have a serious lack of faith in anyone OTHER than the WWE boys is killing the product, IMO.
