I sense there will be flaws, but I doubt it should be a complete screw-up. The matches sound great and see all these wrestlers back together again should be great.

Oh, and hopefully, it will be EXXXTTTREEEMMME!!!

I thought they'd screw up the Rise + Fall DVD, but it turned out great. Plus with Heyman's mind behind the whole thing, it should be a great show.

As a PPV, and with the matches and people announced for it, I don't see any way that the WWE could screw things up completely. Some things might be a bit awkward, but I can see NO WAY the WWE can completely screw this up.

On the other hand, the WWE has surprised me before.

On the contrary... If Bischoff comes in with RAW guys and buries everybody then it would indeed suck.

Also the SmackDown! guys do aswell. I think they want it to be WCW v. WWE v. ECW, but they are doing it RAW v. SD! v. ECW. I just think that if it ends with WWE guys whipping that ass, then the entire point of the PPV was well, pointless.

You know, I never thought of that.

If they only appear in the beginning of the show or on Heat and get their asses kicked, I wouldn't care. But if they are involved in ANY matches, interference or otherwise, it will definitely have the potential of completely destroying what would have been the best PPV in a while.

I think the whole "RAW and Smackdown invade ECW One Night Stand" thing will just be one segment, where the ECW guys will just end up on top and send them out of the arena or something.

I think they have already screwed it up by having it be an "invasion" show rather than a nostalgia show.

I don't think they'll screw it up too bad, except the entrance music will not be the orignals. If the sandman came out to something other than Enter Sandman, or RVD came out to soemthing other than Walk, that would be fucked up.

Even so, the majority of the on-air time spent promoting it has dealt with this rivalry. The build-up's already screwed it up.

Do I think it will be a complete screw up? No. But I do think that the powers that be over there in WWE land can't resist the urge the make something shitty about a program. I am in complete agreement that this has already been a mistake in build up, having it be billed as an invasion rather then "One Night Stand"...unless this leads to HeAT and Velocity becoming ECW shows, being 100% completely run by Paul Heyman, and once again allows him to come through and change the wrestling world...when I say that I don't mean GO BACK to what ECW was because that is more now what WWE is (in a more watered down sort of way) but I think once again the wrestling world is waiting for a change, and I would love it Paul Heyman got two hours a week to take a crack at that change.

I've got a terrible feeling that The WWE guys are going to interfere in some matches, i also think Eddie will cost Rey his match and Rey will cost Eddie his match(does Eddie have a match?).I'm just glad the ppv is on sky sports 1 instead of Box Office so if they do screw it up..i wont be too pissed. Also what i'm worried about is those fans who just don't get ECW but think it's cool to chant the name, instead of saying it with pride. But the writing has got alot better recently, so it could be good.I have no idea how this invasion idea could work other than the Raw&sd guys interfereing in matches....

There's no way that WWE would ever put on a program without somehow, someway promoting themselves and what they've accomplished. Let's just hope it doesn't COMPLETELY destroy the show. I'll bet there will still be some great matches and huge spots.

It'll be good, but without Joey Styles and Cyrus calling the action, it simply will not feel the same. Especially if Jim fucking Ross is at the announce table. That might kill One Night Stand completely.

If instead of letting Benoit/Eddie wrestle and the crusers fly they just make all the matches consist of bashing each other with weapons, then they could screw it up.

I'm not saying that they can't bash each other with weapons but.... yeah.

It smells too much like a WWE show because the atmosphere will be too artificial. I can imagine too many fans (who strangely werent there when ECW really needed them) trying to hard and chanting ECW every chance they get.

Bring back Joey Styles, Gertner, all of those guys for one night. Make it as complete as possible the way that ECW used to be.

If they were doing a dam Invasion angle, they shouldn't of even made it an "ECW PPV." You don't need that to sell this PPV. The dam DVD already proved that.

That was the problem.

Vince couldn't have a bunch of indy guys sell a PPV that does better than PPVs with their top guys on it.

So now you will have a bunch of mid card guys go toe to toe with ECW's top stars of all time. Some of the ECW guys may get the uppser hand, but what does that really matter when its against mid card guys?

I mean if it was going to be a deal where all the top WWE guys went against the top stars of ECW and they went 50-50, it would be cool. But I know the top guys wont be there from WWE's end. Angle looks like he'll be there, but my guess is that he'll just shoot an angle with Tazz and beat him up, maybe leading to a match. But lets face it, there's no way the WWE is going to let one of their top stars lose to an announcer.

Thats the problem with the current format of the PPV. If they would have left it just an ECW reunion show, and not do stuff like hit us over the head with the fact that Vince is making money off all this, or that ECW was nothing more than OVW-North East, it would be much better.

I'm sure it'll be a good show in the ring, because going by the card, its hard to imagine how it would be bad.

The Invasion thing was just to get HHH in the main event.

Have you seen Tazz recently? Fat little Smackdown announcer? He is in no condition to be wrestling and already said he doesn't want to wrestle on the show.

Thats why I was saying angle initially.

If they have a match, my feeling is that Angle would just destroy him. They let Tazz hit a couple of suplexes and then Angle would hit the Ankle Lock and Tazz would tap.

I remain hopeful that it will be a good show. As far as the invasion thing goes, I really am hoping it's only a temporary thing. It's not like other ECW Pay-Per-Views never had inklings of interpromotional rivalries, or ECW uniting against a common enemy (like the Network).

Eddie vs. Benoit and Lance vs. Jericho on the card DO make it almost seem like it's just random WWE matches.

I can only hope that not only does the WWE LET its superstars work the "ECW style", but that the superstars themselves are willing to put themselves at risk. There's great risk in wrestling the way they did in ECW, but there's high reward too, in the form of awesome-looking action.

It's a shame Joey Styles is HIGHLY unlikely to be doing any announcing, but as long as they don't throw in ANY WWE announcers, I'll be fine. (Use like Joel Gertner, and even put Paul at the announce booth if you must.)

We'll see June twelth. I'm not going to bash how they promote a show, because frankly what promotional tactics are used is of no consequence to me when it comes to actually enjoying the actual show. I think I'm out of words to ramble, so this will end this post.

If they aren't using Styles, they need either Heyman (and I doubt he'll be announcing) or Cyrus or even Lance Wright. Under no circumstances should they use any non ECW announcer.
