You know, if Test had been talked about for a title run in 1999/2000, this board would have been jumping for joy.
Funny how people's opinions can change. I think Test is just as viable an ECW Champion as any of the other possibilities. Sandman and Dreamer stand on pretty similar levels at the moments; the ECW veteran/mascot who is still pretty popular. Of the two, Sandman is worth more at present, therefore Sandman would take the title before Dreamer would. Plus, Dreamer has been an opening match act since 2001 which would take any prestige away from the gold (Casual fans thinking ECW is worthless if former Raw jobber Tommy "The Yonkers Brawler" Dreamer is their flagship star). Sandman, and Sabu for that matter, are worth more simply because they weren't around for the Invasion bullshit, nor treated like crap on WWE TV ever since... to WWE (and NEW ECW) fans, they are fresh, albeit ageing, material. In my view, the ONLY options are RVD, Sabu, Punk or Test. If RVD is to be denied the title on the basis of his arrest, then Sabu should be too, just as a gesture. Therefore, it's Test or Punk. And what has proven a better booking plan in the past then a heel champion being chased by a face challenger, culminating in the popular title switch at a big event. If Test takes the gold at DTD, then it could set the stage for a Test vs C.M. Punk ECW main event at WrestleMania. So, there, I think Test is probably the best option they have. Unless of course, they switch somebody over to ECW at the last second to take the title. (What were those rumours about Bobby Lashley??) |

I still think that the title should go back to RVD. It sounds like crap that Vince would not put the belt on him just because of the arrest. Mainly due to the fact that he got caught doing what everyone knew he already did. It's even been noted in the storylines that Van Dam has smoked weed.
Also, that this is the ECW title, not Vince's prized WWE title. Vince clearly has no intentions of ECW being his number one show, so why not just give it to RVD, he's the one that will draw. |

Well, on a plus side for RVD supporters, Hacksaw Duggan is still being booked by Vince, 20 years after a much more controversial arrest (He was caught with drugs in a car with enemy The Iron Sheik right in the height of the kayfabe era), so McMahon DOES forgive... eventually.

Test isn't winning the title. They're not going to have Big Show and Test be the last 2 participants in the Elimination Chamber. The fans would shit on it instantly. It's gotta be face vs. heel, and Big Show's going to be the heel.
RVD will win the belt. All this winning the contract bullshit wasn't for nothing. Maybe he'll job it off to Test somewhere down the line. |

Loosing his streak in the main event of PPV is not a bad way to go.

I don't see the need to have Punk in a title match that he probably won't win, or even go late into. I'd rather them keep his push strong and steady not resulting in a title push until its about him. I think the best thing ECW could do for him and their entire midcard is re-introduce the ECW TV title in a 4 man tourney to be held at the PPV and have him win it, over Knoxx. Granted this won't happen, but a smark can dream can't he?
I'd book it as Big Show vs RVD vs Test vs Sabu vs Holly vs Dreamer w/ someone as an enforcer maybe a debut of Lashley if hes headed over there. Sandman vs Striker in an extreme rules match of some kind. CM Punk, Knoxx, Thorn, and Mahoney in a TV title 3 match tournament. I dont know what else they can do, but They're gonna prob need practically an hour out of the elimination chamber to make this PPV go 3 hours. |

You can almost be sure there'll prob be at least one or two Raw or SD! guys on the card too, maybe even in the Elimination chamber, to increase buyrates. I'm not saying I agree with it, but this is WW-ECW and they're prob not gonna trust it as it is. Nor do they care if its "true to ECW"

They need the ppv to be a succes and therefore I think they should give it to RVD...I think people will respond best to that...then I am hoping theyll put another title in there becouse I think they need that...one title simply isn't enough...I am hoping some kind of hardcore title then they can have a match Dreamer, sandman and let sandman beat the hell out of him with his cane
Then we can have a tag match between Khali/davari and Terkay/burke. I also think they are going to have a match with a bunch of Raw/SD loosers whitch I hope will get interupted by a bunch of extreamists who beats them senceless. Just my dime |

Once we find out who the final competitor is, it will be much easier to predict a winner. Right now, here is the list of competitors from most likely to win the ECW World Title, to least likely:
1. CM Punk 2. Test 3. Rob Van Dam 4. Sabu 5. Big Show CM Punk is still most likely to win, in my opinion. He's undefeated, which they're making a big deal about, and he's about to be victorious at Survivor Series alongside DX. If that doesn't get the man over as a main event player, nothing will. CM Punk has been the most consistently entertaining portion of ECW since it's return, and they really have no one more solid to put the belt on. The only issue is whether or not it is too soon to make CM Punk ECW World Champion, but that's something they should have thought about before they put him in the match. Test is the second best option. He's good, and he deserves it. I still think he'd be better served feuding with DX, probably in the position Edge is now, but but he's doing well in ECW. I can't see him going into WrestleMania with the title, though, I just can't. If Test wins the ECW World Title, I expect to see him lose it at the Royal Rumble, or something. Rob Van Dam is still more likely than Sabu, in my opinion. He's got more credibility than Sabu, plus he's been groomed for the title win. RVD winning seems logical, and would be good for the fans. I can see the WWE realising there is no one else, and just having RVD win. Sabu's got little to no chance of winning. He jobbed to John Cena via submission, he's already lost to Big Show numerous times. Putting the ECW World Title on him would devalue it, in my opinion. Big Show retaining just won't happen. If none of the above win it, the final entrant will. |

If the title does not go to RVD, WWECW is fucked for sure. (More so than it already is)

I think between the constraints of one hour, WWE influence, the lack of any other titles, and a lacking roster the WWECW is fucked as it is.
They need to make some serious changes to make it work, or at least show an effort. If not they're wasting talent, money and everyones time. I really really want them to put the title on RVD for a credible run. Reintroduce the TV title and put it on Punk Add Benoit and someone else to the roster. Go to an hour and a half at least. If they're not gonna make strides to improve a noticably lacking brand, then they should send the handful of talent they have to the other brands and quit. |
