So TNA's doing the Hammerstein Ballroom.

...I am TIRED of hearing and reading about how "great" Paul Heyman was, how "awesome" ECW was, how "If Paul Heyman was in TNA or WWE, it would be so great, he would change things around"...

...NEWSFLASH...

...Heyman WAS in charge of ECW and what happened? IT WENT UNDER. IT DOESN'T EXIST. If Heyman was so "great", why did he FAIL? If ECW was so "great and innovative", and people loved it so much, why is it not around?

...let it go, people. It's like when someone dies...no matter what he did when he was alive, everyone's like "He was so great, so nice, so helpful, what a kind human being"...

...if ECW was so great, it would still be around, because the FANS would've supported it 100% and the ratings would've been THROUGH THE ROOF and the money would've been flowing into the company and there would be NO WAY it would go under...

...and if Paul Heyman was "so great", his ECW would not have gone under.

Now, Vince...say what u want...but he IS great. WWE IS great.

End of story.

Aguakate, (the original) ECW went bankrupt because they couldn't get sponsors. Paul Heyman admitted that. However, that doesn't change the fact that he's a creative genius, that what he created with his ECW was unique and hugely popular (despite not being "mainstream"), or that he has the potential and ingenuity to help fix what's wrong with TNA. Do you know that his success with ECW is what led WWE to create a "Hardcore Championship," and led WCW to create more violent story lines? Do you know that, despite having no advertising and a low budget, ECW became (for a time) TNN's highest rated TV show? I suspect there's a lot you don't know about Heyman or the positive impact (no pun intended) he could have on TNA, but I and other people here can assure you that he can't screw up TNA any more than Dixie Carter, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff already have.

...THAT'S a positive way to view things..."Hey, can't get any worse, what the heck?! Try it!"
