I'll say it again...it won't last...
Well, let's point out the things that I've seen wrong with tonight's ECW show so far...
1. Letting RVD cut a promo. The man CANNOT TALK!!!! He is an artist in the ring, but STOP LETTING HIM TALK!!!! "And tonight..you're gonna see me WRESTLE..." ugh..
2. Tommy Dreamer and Big Show starting their match with feeble "punches". ECW was all about guys stiffing the everloving crap out of each other. And then, in the same match....
3. Seeing Tommy Dreamer, an ECW original, get buried by a displaced WWE guy. This is the second week in a row that an ECW original has been absolutely buried by a WWE guy, with Justin Credible getting destroyed by Kurt Angle last week.
4. COMPLETELY neutering the Sandman's entrance. THAT is the biggest part of his character!!! First, Vince is too cheap to license his original music, Metallica's "Enter Sandman", and he gives him some horrible generic crap...and NOW, they won't let him pop his beer in the crowd?? He's looking like a horrible poor man's Stone Cold with a stick, when the fact is, Sandman was doing the beer gimmick YEARS before Stone Cold ever thought about it.
5. Macho Libre???? For the love of.....
6. THEY'RE PLAYING JOHN CENA UP AS THE HERO WHEN HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE HEEL IN ECW!!!! This is supposed to be ECW'S TURF, and the crowd goes nuts at the very mention of John freaking Cena. Once again, the stupid, idiotic SmackDown crowd is KILLING the effect.
7. Test....in ECW????? Good Lord, no no no no, NO!!!!!
8. Oh, and IF they've gotta bring in Test...why not AT LEAST do it like the old ECW, turn every light out in the building, and then reveal him to be in the middle of the ring...? At least let it be a surprise. Why announce that you're bringing this joker in...?
9. RVD-Angle vs. Edge-Orton was a nice little match, but it's nothing I haven't seen on Raw at least eighteen times in the last two years.
10. This whole ECW/WWE title situation is so freaking confusing. So RVD wins the WWE title from Cena, and now, he's the WWE AND ECW champion...? Okay, so exactly which title is it that he's defending against Edge at Vengeance on Sunday. If it's the WWE title, that's fine...but if RVD drops the WWE belt but gets to keep the ECW belt, then they've just seriously punked out the man who's supposed to be the biggest draw in ECW. Yeah, he'd still the ECW champion, but obviously, ECW's champion would be inferior to WWE's champion.
And something else...check this out...
Legit ECW originals who were on tonight's show
1. Rob Van Dam (and his style is now so neutered from what it was, might as well consider him a WWE guy.)
2. Tony Mamaluke
3. Tommy Dreamer
4. Sandman
5. Sabu
WWE guys on tonight's show..I don't care if they're supposedly a part of the new ECW, they're still seen as WWE guys.
1. Big Show
2. Kurt Angle
3. Randy Orton
4. Edge
5. Lita
6. John Cena (who got the biggest face pop easily)
There's just nothing special about this show....absolutely nothing. This is nothing more than another WWE show with a few extra guys who, to the average WWE fan, look like nothing more than independent circuit rejects.
Vince....why are you doing this...?
