| Just went over to some crazy ECW Boards and they are killing the show.. calling it "The worst thing they've ever seen" and "2/10".. I won't go that far with it, but I thought it did have some major issues..
Postives
There were some good things..
-I liked the new set design.. It's very ECW-like and they did a good job of covering up the Smackdown! one..
-I liked the fact that RVD was presented with the ECW World Championship but held on to the WWE Championship. It shows respect for the title and now he's a dual champion..
-The poke at SCI-FI was funny as hell, bringing out the zombie and letting Sandman kill him in 30 seconds. Classic Heyman right there..
-The battle royal was ok.. I like how Show is being booked (even though some ECW fans think he should be on the same level as Stevie Richards) and I liked Sabu winnign the match because it should set up a more exciting version of the Cena/Sabu match from a couple weeks ago..
Negatives
-I think the crowd is going to be devastating if they stay with the SD! brand on the road.. They weren't very lively and they didn't know how to handle the ECW guys, it was liek they never seen them before.. And zero chants you are used to. No intimacy with the fans either..
-Kurt Angle squashing Justin Credible. Not a huge deal but I think Credible should have looked a tiny bit better. I know Angle is a machine and that's good, but Credible was an ECW main eventer.. Unless they have big plans for someone I'm not aware of, shouldn't he still look a little competitive?
-They are going to have some huge issues with all those damn commericals in a one hour program. SCI-FI did a piss poor job with all that advertsing and just like TNA, how can you expect to have some big matches or 3 or 4 storylines going at once? What I think they should do is two hours anyway, leave the last hour for Sci-Fi and broadcast the 1st hour over the internet until they get more tv time.
-Bringing out Kelly aka Barbie Blank.. She has no business in ECW. I love her looks :smitten: , she's amazing, but she's lost.. completely.. She'd be better on RAW or SD! with their divas.. ECW divas need to be able to mix it up a bit. Trinity is a perfect example of a girl who fits better and yeah.. she looked pretty hot also.
-I don't like all the WWE stars like Edge and Cena being a part of this if they aren't going to join ECW. They need to be as seperate as possible.. Now maybe that'll happen after Vengeance, I hope so..
This week's ECW to me was not a great start, but not horrible either..
