WWE sources have indicated that Terry Funk will definitely not be making an appearance at the ECW One Night Stand PPV, by his own choice. The original plan was to have Funk team with Tommy Dreamer to face the Dudley Boyz.

The ECW subsite on WWE.com now features an ECW trivia game and the Sandman video highlight reel that aired on RAW last night.

The ECW Magazine officially hits newstands today,

WWE will also be releasing an official ECW One Night Stand program.

The meet and greet session scheduled for 4-5 PM for the ECW PPV in New York City has been pushed via local advertising. The event will take place the same day as the show at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

ECW One Night Stand will feature special appearances by:
Paul Heyman
The return to PPV of Rob Van Dam with Bill Alfonso
Tazz
Spike Dudley
Al Snow with Head
Sabu
Balls Mahoney
Danny Doring and Roadkill
CW Anderson
Rhyno
Joel Gertner
Axl Rotten
Justin Credible
Kid Kash
Masato Tanaka
Mikey Whipwreck with Sinister Minister
The BWO - Big Stevie Cool, Hollywood Nova, and The Blue Guy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aside from the 5 matches announced, I think they should also go with...

Spike/Doring/Roadkill-BWO
- Spike teamed with them in ECW's dying days and it's a good way of getting some of the less talented guys involved in one match...

Rob Van Dam-Rhyno
- Give the "planned" ECW final PPV match a showing with RVD obviously going over...

Sabu-Justin Credible
- Would be pretty awesome... Good way of getting either man over in a legit repeat ECW feud...

Flaming tables match
Axl Rotten/Balls Mahoney-Whipwreck/Tanaka
- Let the WWE finally bring this match back... Even if the match is no classic, it will get you going for sure...

***Tazz beating up Angle and the rest of the "invaders" and choking him out... Or Bischoff...

That basically leaves CW Anderson, Kid Kash and Al Snow with no matches... I'd put Anderson and Snow in HEAT match simply because they don't possess the star power of BWO, a Whipwreck or a Sabu on an ECW show... Not really sure about Kash... I don't see him doing much... He's not that great anyways...

I'm guessing Tazz & Gertner or Heyman & Gertner will be doing the commentary... I'm looking forward to it, either way...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It would be even better if it was 4 hours... WWE giving Heyman and ECW their own promotion and timeslot could be very good for business and money-wise and it would add interesting contrast to what we've been seeing on WWE TV lately... We'll see if the show goes down WWE-style or ECW-style... The booking will obviously show if they did the right move by letting Heyman run the show, it should be a night to remember...

The invasion might actually be an interesting idea... It could be a good way of getting lots of ECW guys involed in a complete beatdown... I don't see Tazz wrestling on the show, although that would be great too...
