Eh. Hopefully it will get better.

I'm looking at this show more as an intro, ala "Hey, these are our wrestlers."

THey seemed more concerned with getting everyone on TV. The show wasn't great, but the booking made sense.

And hell, the first ECW show on TNA was a clip show anyway.

Man, I rushed home for this shit? As mentioned countless times before, this show had the stink of wwe writers all over it.

where to start?

First of all the venue is all wrong. The home crowd should not be booing your face champ, except when that home crowd is a bunch of wwe kiddie marks. Brilliant idea there. ECW should only be taped in ECW areas period. Anyone with a third grade education can see that. Apparently Vince can't.

Second Having WWE stars on the show taints any ECW storyline possible. remember when Jerry Lawler first showed up at ECW? It was huge and nearly caused a riot. Now its the norm for John cena and edge show up? Bullshit.

Third. The ECW roster needs to be bigger. 10 guys do not make a brand I'm sorry. I mean add guys like Matt Hardy, bring people up from OV and hire more ECW guys back, because the current roster is way to small.

For god sakes don't let former champs like credible get squashed. How the hell are we supposed to take him serious again if instead of coming out as a former impact player, he comes out as a former member of X-factor, remember them? Neither does half the wrestling fan base.

Unless things change and the ECW brand can govern itself, free of Vince's crappy influence, failure is eminent.

People, get off Credible being squashed.

Heyman will work it out.

They want to build up Angle as a machine. As an medalist, and as a shooter. They are going to give him the unstoppable treatment for a bit. JC can easily say he didn't know what to expect, and he was expecting WWE Kurt Angle. Instead Kurt started shooting on him, and JC had no amatuer experience. Do some rematches, have JC adapt, learn, and actually start putting up fights against Angle.

Easy equation

Angle=unstoppable because of his different style
Other wrestlers learn and adapt to the style.
Other wrestlers can then compete with Angle.
Other wrestlers look better for it.

I think we are running into a mark vs smark situation. WWE is trying to appeal to both with ECW but instead, it is boring marks, and pissing off smarks. Yeah, I know, Capt. Obvious. Meh, whatever. I just hope this doesn't continue.

You at least have some hope that they'll let Heyman do this thing, but nope. This is like what'd happen if they merged Heyman's brain with Johnny Ace.

WoW. I just had to explain to everyone here that hadn't seen the original ECW that tonight's show was NOT representative of the old company at all. They were all like, "THIS is what they've been making a stink about?".

Oh well, at least I got to educate people on the real ECW.

In terms of being promoted as a top guy, he was. It's not much different from a guy like The Sandman, really. The Sandman will never be confused with a technical wonder in the ring, but he's a five-time former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, and known the world over as the "Extreme Icon". My thing is if Justin was good enough to win the ECW World Heavyweight Title, he should've been good enough to give Kurt a run for his money, at the very least, especially being that it was at "an ECW environment".

Sandman's build up as an ECW Maineventer was a lot stronger than Credible's ever was.

I understand that jobbing him out was probably not the best idea in the world but then again Credible's Crediblity since the death of the real ECW has been nothing short of nil. Maybe i'm just blinded by the fact that I really don't give two shits about JC when he's no tagging with Lance.

From the sounds of the show the squashing of JC is probably the least of the worries ECW fans should have. Let us not forget this is Kurt Angle he got jobbed to, not say Chris Masters, Carlito or some other WWE midcarder.

For all intents and purposes, it might as well have been. Like I said, jobbing him out? Fine. Squashing him? That's where I have a problem with it, and mind you I'm not Justin Credible's biggest fan by a longshot.

Sounds like a shit show, don't even want to watch it on Sky whenever it is on now.

To me it just appears to be another way to promote Vengeance. Cena and Edge didn't need to be there. If this was meant to really feel like ECW coming back, they don't need WWE guys on there. I thought Heyman was going to be writing the shows? Obviously he didn't have full control.

Ha ha ha. From the PWInsider epoilers,this happend before the show:

Quote:
Joey entered the ring. He asked the crowd if they knew tonight was the premiere of ECW. He said there's also a Smackdown taping and asked the ECW fans to keep the risqué chants to a minimum because of the families here to watch Smackdown, then gave an Oh My God!
Joey: There are children in attendence so please, keep the risky chants down... think of the children. Oh hey, now enjoy this strip routine!

But how did he squash him?

All Kurt did was straight mat wrestling/shooting.

He's an olympic gold medalist. It's not hard to believe that he could take someone apart on the mat without much problem, even if they are a pro-wrestler.

Just wait, kay? There are people who will give Kurt a run for his money, and I bet JC, down the line, will be one of them. Right now, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Angle/Mahoney feud, as Styles always brings up Mahoney's "high school wrestling."

Oh, okay. Someone that hasn't been on television in years and who we're supposed to see as a credible wrestler (no pun intended) is someone that Kurt can take apart without much problem, but every new talent and random jobber Kurt challenged in the Angle Invitational came within seconds of beating him? I mean, a fucking retard DID beat him, but yet he can "take apart" Justin Credible no problem? I'm sorry, but that's a huge slap in the face to ECW.

Angle Invitation Kurt was wrestling a "WWE" style.

Now he's doing more of a shoot style. Granted, he COULD have done that in WWE in theory, but the way they want you to believe it is that this is the NEW Kurt ANgle, wrestling his way, not held back, which means he's shooting, and that's his style. It's a style that pro-wrestlers aren't really used to.

Look at it this way. If someone like Chuck Liddel or misc other random MMA guy came into WWE/ECW and squashed a guy, would that be a slap in the face? HEll, Shamrock did it for awhile in WWF.

And assuming Kurt stays in "ECW" how is it a slap in their face? A wrestler who they're trying to make the face of the new ECW was shooting on a guy and choked him out.

Booking wise, this makes perfect sense.

Yeah, Shamrock did the same thing to random jobbers. How's he "not being held back" when all those moves are legal in the WWE? (Even that "choke" wasn't a choke in the blatant illegal choke sense.) I'm sorry, but you're not selling me on this.

Meh, to each their own.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not thrilled with it myself.

But booking wise, it makes sense. At least to me.

ECW would be better if they taped it either after SmackDown, or at a house show...

Because that crowd compared to the PPV sucked.

"Kelly" (aka should be on Raw or Smackdown, as she was a fake Torrie Wilson) coming out to no retribution (like the "WWE"-like Zombie character getting destroyed by Sandman as a nice Heyman-ish tongue-in-cheek touch) sucked.

The Angle squash was pretty bad. I mean, I like Angle, but that should have been against a random jobber.

Too much "WWE" in that show... it was like the greatest fears of ECW fans put into one show.

Any time ECW fans have to be restrained in chants.... it isn't ECW.

yes they did. Also I don't really care the Credible got squashed just merely pointing out that I thought his two matches with The great Sasuke were good.

Also about Kelly. She at least knows her role and just takes off her clothes which is much better then watching chicks like her wrestle.

Ok well then that changes things a bit, stupid to tout a guy as a former top guy then let him be destroyed,

Especially when it's not an age issue or anything. Justin Credible is only 31 years of age.

This show has made me want to ban my girlfriend from wearing any WWE merchandise just so that there is one thing left that I love without a WWE logo on it. (Yup Vince already branded my penis)

Last night's show was written by Paul Heyman and then put through the tweaking process by WWE creative. For those of you who thought Heyman would have some kind of creative control of the brand, you found out otherwise last night. This is a Vince McMahon production and we saw that last night. Reports backstage were that Heyman wrote the show to meet McMahon's expectations and visions of ECW.
Speaking of Heyman, people who saw him backstage told me it was pretty clear that he thought the show was a train wreck. In fact, everyone I talked to in the company felt the same way. They all knew that the show was a complete disaster and a failure.
The reason Tazz's PPV "match" with Jerry Lawler was put on the show is because the show actually ran short and they had to fill time. They also missed a few cues in the battle royal, forcing the production team to fix the mistakes in the 90 minute window that they had after the taping ended to before it aired.
Ring Announcer Steven DeAngelis was brought in to work the show but was told in the afternoon that he was not going to be used and sent home, despite the fact that WWE had told DeAngelis to come to the show and that he would be used. WWE chose to use Justin Roberts instead. I would ask why, but there wouldn't be a good answer so why bother? I think it was a really low move by WWE to DeAngelis. Then again, at least he wasn't a part of the train wreck
