I read the spoilers and didn't even bother to watch the ECW show. And now Goldust is released. :(

Remember all in one week...Eddie died, Christian quit, Batista received a lat injury (which may have contributed to the tricep injury), Kennedey got injured and Austin backed out of Taboo Tuesday?

What's next?
 
The Final blow to ECW:

The SmackDown lead writer David Lagana has been replaced by Alex Greenfield. David Lagana will be moving to the ECW brand being a writer there. Alex Greenfield is the new SmackDown lead writer.

Ehh on second thought, instead of sucking as bad as last night, maybe ECW will only be as bad as Smackdown!!

Well it's official; WWE vs ECW was the first wrestling show I watched in years, the ECW debut is the last I'll ever watch.

Maybe ol' Randy isn't as bad as we all think. If this is true, it's easily the funniest wrestling related story I've ever heard.

Van Dam also owes his life to fellow wrestler Randy Orton. After a night of intense marijuana smoking, RVD began to hallucinate. He believed he was a glass of orange juice. Insanely high, he dialed a random number on his phone, believing it to be the "Orange Juice Cops". It was, in fact, Randy Orton's phone number. Orton rushed to his home and stopped RVD from, quote, "Drinking himself by putting a straw through his eyeball into his brain."

I'm sad that ECW performed so well, as crappy a show as it was.... maybe that means it has a chance to get better... I hope.

:lol this thread isn't complete without Outcast's views. Tell me Outcast, what is the WWE doing right if you had to say.
I don't see why anyone should be obligated to point out any positives if there really are none.

I mean, I like awesome HBK in his DX role, but there's really nothing going on that grabs me.

I got dibs on the 50%

Actually since they're going to hotshot another stupid angle on RAW next week I'm not expecting 50% drop off this week, but not more than a 2.0-2.2. However in a month or so I think they'll be lucky to be doing 1.5s and maybe even TNA numbers.
 
They only thing they did right was the Zombie. ECW's oddity is infinitely more entertaining than Eugene, and they probably put 10 seconds of thought into the zombie.

What did ECW used to get for ratings? Because once they move away from the wwe stuff, you're probably looking around that figure.
 
Yeah I didn't like it either. To me it was nothing but showboating the wwe characters and making the ecw wrestlers look like fools but it's ok cause the wwe guys are apart of ecw now. Or at least this bastardization they call ECW, the girl stripper thing/and zombie pissed me off so much cause it was just so ****ing stupid.

She was unbelievably hot though

Here...go nuts....
http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/gallery/trinity.html
Her name is Trinity and she can actually wrestle. She's a hollywood stuntwoman who decided to go into wrasslin. She's a bit on the insane side. Last year in TNA she climbed the outside of the 6 sided cage and then did a GORGEOUS moonsault. One of the carziest spots I've ever seen a woman do.

Um.....
i really don't know. This past Monday and Tuesday really made my outlook on life a little bleak.

Cons:
DX will get screwed up. Especially considering only half of the tag isn't afraid to be the old dickhead they used to be.

ECW somehow got topedoed within 48 hours. First impressions are the most important. And this was like meeting a hunchbacked leper for a blind date.
The ratings were high enough that Vinnie will keep the status quo and give us more of that drivel. When it does tank in the ratings (and it will) Paul will take the blame and they will cancel it.

Smackdown is getting it's talent pool raided worse than ECW did back when WCW decided to take half their roster. Kennedy has SO much potential, but will they let him run with it?

Khali has a mouthpiece in Davari.... so why do they keep giving KHALI the damn mic? I think the Zombie cut a more coherant promo.

The tag division in the entire WWE is DEAD. Although the Highlanders made me laugh. "I LOOK FUNNY...... but I smell nice!"

Cruiserweight is dead, which is sad in itself. When you have guys like Super Crazy and Kendrick out there putting on the best matches of the night why put the division on the back burner when your main event scene is so bad?

Kane vs FaKane? Really...why?

Rey... his entire title run has been a joke. He;s won twice since he's been champ? Never have I seen a CHAMPION be such a punching bag. Or in this case, lawn dart.

I just kinda have this gut feeling the entire WWE is in a big slump and it's going to take something huge to get them out of it.

Pros:
I'm huge on Edge. He's the perfect heel for the perfect time.

Kurt Angle. The man always delivers. Yes, he may be on ECW, but the cross promotion will continue.

Flair and Foley, while hot shotted to make sure Flair gets a PPV pay off in his home town, has the potential of delivering fantastic promos. If this pulls RIc out of the characture and back to the Nature Boy of old it'll make me smile.

Carlito is impressing me more and more by the week. HE really is working on his in-ring and it shows. The guy is a star in the making

Bobby Lashley, while green, has worlds of potential. Now if they could just get the crowd to care about him....

MISTERRRRRRRR KENNEDY..........




Kennedy. For some reason I just like the guy.

JBL in the Tazz commentary spot? sure, why not. He's a hell of a talker, better talker than wrassler.

Yeah, this is the biggest problem I see with the WWE. I love high flying, fast cruiserweight-style matches, and I'm lucky to see one on Smackdown or Velocity once a month.
 
I'm going to guess ECW only drops 15-20%

Why? Well if people are like me, they know it can't possibly get any worse.
 
Seems that the Smackdown writer moving to ECW is/was a Heyman disciple and used to be an avid Observer reader. Kind of sucks for Smackdown though. I thought it had been a good show recently.
 
If shit like last week keeps getting good ratings, then Vince is going to go with what works.

I hope there is a big fall in ratings. Vince may be ****ed up in the head, but if ECW is not doing well, he will do what's best for business, since he is a businessman primarily. He will either cancel the re-creation of the brand or let Heyman do whatever the hell he wants. At this point, after seeing the shit on Tuesday, either or will work right now.
 
ECW does not have a chance to be anything more than raw-lite until after vengence--or as long as RVD is still carrying around the WWE title. I'm sure RVD will get revenge on Edge this monday when ECW 'invades' and then Edge will once again invade ECW tuesday to get back at RVD--and you can expect similar happenings between Sabu & Cena. I'm also guessing a squash like Big Show vs Little Guido, and Kurt vs. someone like Steven Richards.....I would also expect the vampire faction to cut a promo, as apparently they've already assembled hte group(That was Mordacai by the sign last week if you didn't know).

If it happens to suck again next week we should just not tune in, or at least I won't do my part in helping it. I think ECW wrestlers look Broken Down as hell, but maybe looks don't have to do with ability. Lets wait till we hear how House Shows go before we decide if WWE's involvement in the project sucks.
 
The profiles of Francine and Axl Rotten have been removed from ECW.com. At the moment, it is not known if they have been released from WWE.

Rotten was scheduled to appear on the 6/5 RAW, but he was a no-show. What is known is that he worked an independent wrestling show on 6/3 in Texas, and on 6/5, he was still in Texas. Rotten was scheduled for a physical that morning in Baltimore, MD, but he missed the physical and the show for some unknown reason. Also, this is supposedly the fourth time that he's missed his scheduled physical for WWE. Rotten is said to be on thin ice, if he hasn't been released already.

As for Francine, her ECW status remains a mystery. She didn't appear at ECW One Night Stand nor the inaugural ECW taping. For what its worth, she wasn't backstage at the taping on Tuesday.

I could do without Axl, butI wouldn't mind seeing Francine.

People avoiding the Wellness tests? Francine hangs out big time with Missy Hyatt and we all know she is not exactly clean. I always thought that Missy would pitch a fit because she has been begging for years to get back in WWE and then her best friend gets in. I thought Missy would pitch a fit atleast. I would like to see what the deal is on that.

Don't Francine and Missy Hyatt run a pornsite together?:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Not that I have been to said site, but it is a site that Missy gets naked, Francine does bikini shots. No ****ing or nothing. I saw the member's side and one part was literally Missy sitting in front of a webcam and describing her day. She wasn't naked or nothing, just talking about stripping and going to school. Not exactly the most exciting stuff. She also had photo shoots of herself and Francine, again Missy completly nude and Francine either in a bikini or covering all the good parts. I think the hottest thing Francine did was lay on her back while covered by a 'bikini' made of whipped cream. The also had pictures from indy shows and wrestling conventions they had been to. Just not exciting at all. Not worth 5 bucks a month, much less what she was trying to charge.

Missy had some bullshit on there about VH-1 picking up the rights to Francine and Missy's site to make a TV show about them, ya right. If you live in her town in Florida she has her strip schedule on her site, or atleast used to. So you can get a lapdance from a wrestling 'legend'. I remember a few years ago she was doing some sweepstakes, that the winner would get a night of sex with her.
 
bjork said:
I heard Daffney is on that site as well. That would almost make me pay for it, because Daffney = sex

WHAT?

Wonder if she gets naked and does some hardcore porn with 4 guys at once?

I knew about the site, but not the rest. That's incredibly sad...
I'm sure Eddie Gilbert is tossing in his grave.

I admit I checked the site just now after reading it, and yes Daffney is in there. I don't know if she gets naked though.

Someone needs to do some research.
