The battle royal was easily the highlight of the night. That felt a little more like ECW, although when ECW had clusterfucks like that, it was usually a tag match that degenerated into New Jack stapling people in the face. Nice twist on the Royal Rumble '92 finish with Sabu, Show, and Big Guido.

Oh, and the Zombie promo. Although, I would have marked out if he'd thrown in a "BRAAAAAAAAAAINS!" at the end of it.

This show is not going to stop me from watching ECW, but I have to say I was pretty dissapointed overall. It came off as flat, and just another show produced by the WWE. I'm willing to wait out, as I feel it will get better, but I can't say this was a good start.

Kids should be prohibited from seeing this. They can have their WWE shows, and maybe unfortunately like someone said, I think Vince is secretly sabotaging ECW with this Invasion stuff.

1) I agree with you on the kids thing and that they need to just tape the ECW shows at their "house shows" or whatever.

2) Don't even start that bullshit. Do you think Vince McMahon would put a lot of money into this if he just wanted to sabotage it? Vince is going to have to answer to a lot of stock holders, if this fucking bombs he will have a lot of hell to pay on the business end.

The Kelly thing was another thing that actually felt ECW. Reminded me of Kimona on top of the ECW Arena. Although, I thought that she was going to get laid out by Jazz or Trinity or someone.

It was sort of like WWE, since WWE tries to be softcore porn sometimes (see: "Wet & Wild" on Monday), but they try to make it pertain to wrestling, even if just a little bit. ECW was more, "Fuck it, you don't care if she can wrestle or act or have any redeeming qualities whatsoever, you just want to see her take her clothes off. So...here's titties!"

You are correct, actually. Often, Francine would roll around on the mat with a random woman, and Styles would scream "CATFIIIIIGHT!", like only he can, but that was about it in ECW.

That would have made so much sense.

Since Kelly looked very much like a "WWE" random chick, I was expecting Jazz to come out and whoop her much like Sandman does the "WWE" like gimmick characters.

It reminded me of how Taz would destroy those body builder looking wrestlers purported to be from "The WWF".

That wasn't ECW. That's what Jerry Lawler advertised. The King was right. Extremely Crappy Wrestling.

After this mexicools vs london/kendrick feud, they need to send Crazy and Psicosis to ECW. And Kid Kash. And Nova.

They just need to get away from this "Sabu, Sandman, some WWE guys, and a bunch of jobbers" image people will probably have of it.

Okay, seriously, they are really fucked if this is the product.

For one, I think it goes without saying that the zombies and the vampires are just fucking retarded. Since Heyman or the WWE can't really do much about it, I hope they turn it into an angle. Bring in another "Network" guy and have him say that they HAVE to have this or that on the show. At least that way they can write it off as an angle and not just leave it at "these things are real".

Secondly, was it REALLY necessary to show the ENTIRE Tazz/Lawler match, INCLUDING THE FUCKING ENTRANCES!? They only have one hour, and they show a throw away match in it's entirety?

Thirdly, the striptease shit was just retarded. I mean, I get WHY they did it (it's theorized that men will stop on whatever tits they pass on the boob tube), but the words "Diva's Search" kept going through my mind during the entire segment.

This show, with exception of Heyman's promos and one or two parts here and there, were clearly WWE scripted, and that is bad news for the brand.

On the other hand, was I the only one to catch (I didn't read the thread) that when Sandman cracked open his beer, that there was a young kid like RIGHT below him?

Good post. Yeah, I think the Sandman cracking open a beer with a young kid right below him was pretty much one of the main problems. No kids! Kids in the crowd drag an audience down. Especially with ECW. Remember on the Rise and Fall of ECW DVD they kept saying how the crowd was such a huge part of the show, and it was. As a 12-13 year old kid when I started watching ECW, I noticed how great the crowd was. I then turn to Raw and thought, wow, this crowd is dead compared to that ECW crowd who got so involved with chants, and literally involved with handing weapons. Well, if you have a crappy crowd, that just pretty much takes the rug out from underneath the event.

Well, if you have a crappy crowd, that just pretty much takes the rug out from underneath the event.
That's another point I meant to make. This was CLEARLY a WWE crowd. THEY WERE BOOING VAN DAM. They seriously need to tape at the advertised house shows instead of doing this at SmackDown!, maybe a sixth of the crowd even knew that ECW existed before 2001.

True, alot of the kids, and marks remember ECW as the invaders in 2001. I have seen alot say, ECW sucks and I just want to say, you are only old enough to remember crap Invasion ECW in 2001, not what made it great. Alot of them were toddlers when ECW begun it's rise. Alot of them also didn't even get to watch cause it wasn't on TV or didn't get TNN in the latter years. They also don't like long matches with good wrestling. They would rather see Umaga squash a guy in a 2 minute match(2 minutes is stretching it.) Vince needs to make a decision. Cater to the marks, and have ECW be a 2nd rate show to hype Raw and WWE PPV'S, which will get cancelled very fast, or try to appeal to the old ECW crowd and do things the right way by the ways listed in this thread like the small arenas, good wrestling, and no WWE crap.

Even though the show wasn't the greatest by any standards, what they say about internet smarks has been proven disgustingly true in this thread.

The show fucking sucked. I didn't need the internet or any "smark knowledge" to complain about a show sucking back in the day.

Give it 2 months, or at least until they do the taping at the ECW Arena

But see, people won't wait two months. I used to say the same to TNA fans who would say "yeah but wait for____"

Unfortunately, the world is filled with people that have a lack of patience...including myself. I was flat out bored with this ECW...and was nothing as to what I expected.

Horrid show overall.

I AM PABLO.

ugh how can you have justin Credible job like that to Kurt Angle. They really need to tape this show at a completely different location from raw/smackdown. I don't think half the crowd knew who any of these guys were.


And btw is it me or did Danny Doring get fat?

I hate the fact that both Angle and Show come over from WWE and they are suddenly big superstars for ECW...I would like it better if they had it so that they were sorta adjusting...like Angle would be trying to wrestle someone like Dreamer or Sandman....but instead of them wrestling Angle back they were just beating the shit out of him with weapons...

Dont get me wrong...I love a good wrestling match as much as the next person...weapons arent really my thing...but still...this is like one brand going into another...there should be some adjusting...

and besides...

Angle didnt want to be in ECW back when it was on its own...having him go to it now just looks like crap...if Angle ends up being called the backbone of ECW...I am gonna stop watching it all together...

I definitely agree that Show and Angle should've had an "adjustment" phase. Hell, I wouldn't even have minded them winning, as long as they had to put up a real fight to do it.

Anyway, my grade for the first, ECW on SCI-FI show is an F+. The + was for the Zombie and parts of the battle royal, and just Kurt Angle being there which is always is a +.
