Okay, I'm doing this based on the list of performers provided in the first post, and pretending that everyone is healthy or willing to work even after being cut.

Also, this is all wishful thinking, so no criticizing with "That would never happen!"

ECW Title Match
Rhino vs. Rob Van Dam

What better way to catapult a returning RVD to the top of the card than to have him finally win his first "World" title? WWE has already pissed on Rhino enough, why not take away the one last thing he has going for him at this point - his status as the last ECW Champion?

Legends Tag Match
Mick Foley and Terry Funk vs. Steve Austin and Shane Douglas

This protects these four guys, who are not in ring shape anymore. It's a nice nostalgia match, and the tag format will help hide the rust. I would put Foley and Funk over, but let Austin stun everyone (including Douglas) after the match.

Four-Way Dance
Jerry Lynn vs. Super Crazy vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Little Guido

These guys would absolutely tear the roof off of the Hammerstein. Especially if they went with ECW "Dance" rules, wherein it goes until all but one man has been pinned. Let Crazy go over to introduce him to the WWE crowd.

Lucha Libre Dream Match
Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Psicosis

This one speaks for itself. Five-stars written all over it. Rey Rey would probably win.

Six-Man Tag
The Dudleys (Bubba, D-Von, and Spike) vs. The Impact Players (Lance Storm, Justin Credible, and JT Smith)

Ignore the fact that all of these guys are heels, and just let them beat the shit out of each other.

Stairway To Hell
The Sandman vs. Raven

Remembering the last S2H match... :shudder: I would put Raven over but, since he's with TNA, he'll probably lose.

Ultimate Grudge Match
Taz vs. Sabu

This was easily one of the top ten feuds of the 1990s. You really believed that they hated each other. Maybe end this one with a Tazplex spot like the ones in the Taz/Bam Bam matches.

20-Man "ECW Invitational" Battle Royal
CW Anderson, Chris Benoit, Big Guido, Chilly Willy, Tommy Dreamer, Sal E. Graziano, Eddy Guerrero, Jason, Chris Jericho, Balls Mahoney, Dean Malenko, Tony Mamaluke, Joey Matthews, Nova, Stevie Richards, Axl Rotten, Tracey Smothers, Al Snow, Johnny Swinger, and Masato Tanaka

This lets them use the rest of their talent without taking match segments away from the "main card." Maybe they could contest it under Royal Rumble rules, which would allow some old ECW rivalries/friendships to come out. It would be awesome if Tommy Dreamer could win this, but it'd probably be either Benoit, Guerrero, or Jericho.




What's the word on some of the guys not on the list? Simon Diamond? Mikey Whipwreck? The Sinister Minister (James Mitchell)? "Primetime" Brian Lee? Chris Chetti? Danny Doring? Perry Saturn? Bam Bam Bigelow?

I haven't really been keeping up with this very closely, so forgive me if it's old news that, say, Saturn said "no" to his invitation.
