Sorry but every PPV buy counts when ECW One Night Stand is only two weeks before a HHH main evented PPV. The more ECW buys over Hunters show the better.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Newly signed or about to be signed CM Punk would be perfect for a new ECW brand

Exactly.

As for the show...I loved it. This was the most exciting PPV I've ever seen. For me the only thing it was missing was Perry Saturn.

I agree. I would have rather seen the bWo, Justin Credible, Balls, Rotten, Roadkill, Doring, Whipwreck, Nova etc in the ring for matches over Rey/Psicosis or Benoit/Guerrero. Guerrero and Rey were in ECW for what, like two seconds? It was obvious from Guerrero's performance that he didn't give a shit about being there. And he shouldn't have been. And fuck Rey for bringing his WWE shit to the ring. The only thing that saved the Rey/Psi match for me was the huge guillotine legdrop on the railing. Plus Raven, and especially, Jerry Lynn weren't there. I wanted to see Lynn soooooooooooo bad. I was also disappointed the Dudleys had no mic time. The ppv fucking kicked ass though. It definitely ranks up there. Best PPV I've seen in almost 5 years no doubt.

About the only thing that pissed me off was that they chose right in the middle of Eddie vs Benoit to start ripping on Edge. Though those chants were great.

Well, Eric and Edge had just entered the arena, and Guerrero was making sure the match was horrible. The chants were more entertaining than that match.

Sorry but every PPV buy counts when ECW One Night Stand is only two weeks before a HHH main evented PPV. The more ECW buys over Hunters show the better.

ONS stand practically did Wrestlemania21 numbers from early esitmates. WTF more can you or anyone expect?

And hey, I gave them my $35 bucks. I'll definitely get the dvd when it's released also.

That's good! Right when its still hot, plus less time means less chance for stupid edits.

 

[Brian Fellows]

This will be my first ever WWE produced PPV on DVD. I already DL'd it but I figure it was good enough to deserve a purchase.



Also since only one person used the link where I originall posted it I'll post it here too.

Its Austin Aries vs Low Ki(the dude in my avatar) at ROH All-Star Extravaganza 2 back in December.

Its around 35MB I think.

-- Several backstage sources are saying that there will be another ECW PPV in 2006. If the buyrates for this past ECW PPV come in high, they may even do something even sooner. The buyrates in the north-east united states are already very high, so if the rest of the country follows suit, there's definitely a chance to see more of ECW very soon.

-- Everyone backstage is very impressed by Joey Styles' commentary at the ECW PPV. Styles was heavily coached by not only Heyman, but also Jim Ross and Kevin Dunn as to what WWE was looking for in a commentator. Everyone thinks that he did very well. It is almost a sure thing that Joey will be announcing at the next ECW PPV.

 

[jobber]

It won't do as well as this ppv. It was a "One Night Only" thing. It would be kinda stupid if it's no story built around it. Eric got his ass kicked on this one, so what's the next thing they could do? In a couple of years, I could see it working but without a show or storyline to follow up this PPV, the idea stinks.

What's Stone Cold's relationship like with the WWE right now? Was the ECW PPV kind of a one time thing?

I want to know if he'll be a legend in any of the upcoming WWE games...

Austin was signed toa 3 year or 3 picture deal with WWE Films. While his deal isn't directly with WWE, he still has a good relationship with JR and Vince and can come in anytime he wants. Much like Foley, they have a sandbox clause.

Simply stated, he can do what he wants, when he wants.

Here's the ECW theme for any of you guys who don't have it yet.

Thanks to Chris Cash for the following:

FEATURING: Rochelle Loewen,
HOSTS: Chris Cash & Big Mike
DATE OF: 06-13-2005
SUBJECT: Rochelle Loewen is the first woman to come forward and speak about Randy Orton and his somewhat disturbing behavior toward the women within the WWE locker room. She sat down with Chris Cash and Big Mike of the Voice of Wrestling radio show this week for a 30-minute interview discussing the recent "poop prank" (for lack of a better phrase) that Randy Orton supposedly left in her bag, her overall experience working for the WWE, why she left, and what she thinks of the rest of the divas she worked with. Plus, Rochelle lashes out at former Smackdown! diva, Amy Weber.

Backstage resentment toward the women with no history in wrestling and little to no product knowledge prior to coming in was felt quite often by Rochelle Loewen. However, it was the other women in the back that typically showed their displeasure, not the men. "For me to just come on in and not do the diva search," Loewen explained, "there was a little animosity, I suppose. I don't think the men really cared".

This left very little reasoning for the incident between Loewen and Randy Orton. Although Rochelle does say Orton vandalized her belongings, the extreme version found on the 'net is not true. "It was just merely self-tanning lotion and baby oil," Rochelle revealed what she found in her bag, "but I wouldn't put it past him to s***t in my bag". The story behind what led to this and Loewen's comments about the "true" Randy Orton are what got very interesting.

Loewen claims Orton had a vendetta against her the entire time she was with the company speculating it was due to the fact she didn't know his name. "Prior to being with the WWE," she said, "I didn't aim to go and work for the WWE. WWE came and asked me to work for them. In lieu of that, I wasn't a big fan and I didn't know a lot about wrestling". Despite being a fan now and loving the business, Rochelle wasn't familiar with everyone's name at first and when she met Orton, she told him he looked familiar. He agreed and asked her where he knew her from. "Are you from Canada," she responded. After looking her up and down, Orton (according to Loewen) said before storming off, "I hate Canada and I hate you"!

"Wow...welcome to bazoogaville," Rochelle thought after the confrontation with Orton, "what kind of person behaves like that?" Later that day, Loewen claims Orton did more things that were "inappropriate and verbally abusive", but didn't explain what they were, just that she didn't really pay any attention to them. "Near the end of the day, I was doing a pre-tape with Mr. Bischoff," she continues, "and it took us about an hour or two. Then I went back to the changing room and all of my belongings...my very, very nice belongings...had been totally destroyed by Randy Orton who had snuck into the female changing room". The lotion and baby oil had been smeared all over her belongings.

According to Rochelle, it wouldn't have mattered if it was "Wal-Mart crap" in the bag or stuff from Salvation Army, it would have still been horrible. A somewhat funny story as she was leaving...she ran into Johnny Ace who very excitedly asked how her first day was with the WWE. "I was like, 'you want the honest truth, or do you want me to lie' and he's like 'honestly'," she laughs, "I said 'well basically, it was horrible, I won't even be compensated enough from today's work to cover the damages rendered to my personal belongings'". Johnny even assumed it was Orton. "It was no secret that he had a hard-on for me".

Things got real interesting right around here...

"The reason Randy Orton did what he did had nothing to do with the competition," she disclaimed, "his behavior had everything to do with how pathetic this person is, how psycho he is, and how his mentality is completely off-key with what normal mentalities should be. Maybe momma wasn't nice to him when he was a little boy or dropped him on his head too many times. He had some real issues with beautiful women," she said, "I don't know what they are, but he definitely does".

According to Loewen, Orton's infatuation with her turned to jealousy when she moved to Smackdown! "I became very good friends with Mark Jindrak who is Randy Orton's best friend," she told the hosts, "and I would travel with Mark and Rey [Mysterio] and I'm sure that ate Randy alive. In fact, Randy wouldn't even talk to Mark Jindrak, the reflection of perfection, for a while because of that". To squash any rumors this could potentially start, the hosts confirmed she wasn't interested in Jindrak. "I really got along with him," she responded, "I thought he was a great guy, same with Mysterio".

Ending the discussion on Randy Orton, Loewen ended with some fairly strong words:

"He's an animal...he's an absolute animal. What kind of man acts like that when he likes a beautiful woman? This guy is just absolutely out to lunch..he's just retarded"!

Part two of this very entertaining and controversial interview with Rochelle Loewen will be out tomorrow. In part two, Rochelle Loewen presents "Former WWE divas say the darndest things..." as she goes into detail about her disgust with the way women are treated within the WWE, the reason she left the company, and why Amy Weber, in her opinion, was the "Anti-Christ" of the locker room. Also visit VoiceofWrestling.com for the latest show featuring Jeff Dockem, "The Truth" with Dr. Tom Prichard, "Plan B" with Kevin Kelly, and special guest, WWE's Ivory. An interview with Gail Kim is also archived on the site. Recaps of both the Gail Kim interview and the June 13th edition of the Voice of Wrestling with Ivory will be sent out shortly.

How long until this guy self-destructs?

I am thinking he is going to get a dose of JBL justice pretty soon.

 

[bishoptl]

Are you kidding? That's the precisely the type of behaviour that JBL encourages.

The only true justice is...

Holly Justice!!
