Mikk Does ECW!
Back story:
Vince McMahon’s attempt to bring back ECW has failed dramatically. At the end of 2007, Vince sold all assets in ECW over to a consortium led by Paul Heyman and Shane McMahon. Vince sold all rings, video libraries and talent over to Paul and Shane and washed his hands of ECW.
Vince’s experiment had come to an end.
Paul and Shane immediately began going around the television networks looking for a deal as the Sci Fi deal had now ended. Fortunately there was one company willing to bring them back, TNN.
With a deal behind them, Paul and Shane set out on reforming ECW once again and a few cuts from the roster were made.
The following were released for not being extreme enough and not fitting the mould for the new ECW:
Matt Stryker
Snitsky
The Major Brothers
Mike Knox
And as a last favour from Vince, he allowed 5 wrestlers from the WWE roster to move with ECW and Paul & Shane picked the following:
The Hardy Boyz
Chris Benoit
Super Crazy
Gregory Helms
So the roster is now:
Bobby Lashley
Balls Mahoney
The Sandman
RVD
Elijah Burke
CM Punk
Hardcore Holly
Kevin Thorn
Tommy Dreamer
Little Guido
Marcus Cor Von
Stevie Richards
Obviously with the small roster, new faces are needed and Paul and Shane are now both scowering the indy feds for talent and hope to have some more signings before ECW’s first PPV.
So with ECW now under the hands of Heyman & McMahon, what will we expect coming out of the first PPV?
You’ll just have to wait and see. |
