Does ANYONE actually enjoy the new ECW?
It is the only return of a wrestling promotion on TV. But, ratings are going to be good for this show no matter what. because it's WWE programming. But, this ECW return is the bigges piece of garbage I have ever seen. I would love to see CM Punk, Sabu, RVD, Balls Mahoney, Sandman, Tommy Dreamer all within TNA if I had a choice but, I don't. I love Rhino's comments about ECW.
I also think the idea od bringing back ECW wasn't about revamping ECW, giving the fans what they want. No, the new ECW is about trying to berid of TNA. But, that will never happen.
The old ECW was alot of things but, when you watch the new ECW does it make you angry that most of the matches are not ECW rules?
I almost despise the WWE's use of talent these days. They have no idea who to push and whom not to push. They know nothing of wrestling but, being the ala king and creating a genre or category of wrestling, "Sports Entertainment."

I haven't personally seen one of the ECW shows yet, mainly because they're not aired in Canada, but also because I would refuse to watch it even if they were. Big Show as ECW Champion? That's the biggest disgrace to the ECW Legacy you could ever possibly imagine. WWE won't be able to get rid of TNA unless Vince get's out of his little safety bubble and actually let's the risk-takers take risks. He fired Billy Kidman, why? because the Shooting Star was too dangerous. There is no real cruiserweight division in WWE anymore and what little cruiserweight action there is takes place in the IC Title Matches anyhow. The WWE had a complete Cruiserweight overhaul a little over a year ago, firing almost all of the entire crusers in one swift move.
TNA is mainly surviving right now because of it's X-Division matches and Samoa Joe. But I also feel that the writing team for TNA is doing a much better job of coming up with new story ideas than WWE, especially when you look and can tell in plain sight who's gimmick from late80's-early90's WWF all the new wrestlers are using (ie - Carlito is a much less cool version of Razor Ramon)
I can't stand WWE TV anymore, but I have nothing better to do on Monday Nights, or Thursdays while I'm waiting for TNA to come on. As it was, I made a point to sit down and Watch Saturday Night's Main Event last weekend and it was, quite frankly, one of the worst shows I've seen in the last 10 years...and that's saying a lot

I find it's actually not TOO horrible....IF......you watch it as just another wrestling show.......just another WWE show.
If you watch expecting ECW though....you will be dissapointed......that's what videos are for!

Hey i was just wondering if anyone else is making a big comeback for this reunion show? I feel like one of the guys at the first One Night Stand that noone had seen in ages lol. I Haven't rped in over a year....so yeah....i hope i'm not rusty. I have some rp ideas...we'll see how it plays out and how much rp time i end up getting.
But i was just wondering how long it's been since you guys have rped? Or are you all still fresh and i'm the out of shape veteran? lol

I'm not gonna be online very much now for the next couple days. 3 hours a day between the time I head off to work, but if I happen to see him online I'll talk to him. But he gave me his word he'd be here...and he's already assigned to the card. So until I talk to him he is still scheduled, and if nothing else he will be jobbed and their entire team will rest on SwitchBlade's shoulders...
But thanks for the Heads up Dogfood Gangsta. At least now I know ot expect him to no-show...

K guys. That NoRP Breakdown I'd planned. Cancel it. Every idea I had for it broke down, and now I'm left with nothing. So we'll just go as originally scheduled. RPing begins next Tuesday and goes for approx a week and a half. All RPs are to be in by Midnight Mountain Time (2 AM on the east Coast) Friday night/Saturday morning. Show will be up no later than Supper time on Sunday August 13th.

As far as I know. I'm hoping I'll have a chance to talk with him before I open boards up. Otherwise I have to find a last minute replacement to face you.

Oh, by the way guys, if you are really antsy to get going I will give a little bit of credit for the (Bring you up to speed) RPs that Genocide and Cadaverus have now did early. If any of the rest of you want to post a little catch-up RP to warm you up before the actual RP time begins then feel free. Just don't go all out on it because it will only be judged to about half the value of RPs done during the actual RP time.
