Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn made it very clear to everyone, including Paul Heyman, at the TV taping this past Tuesday for ECW on Sci Fi that he wasn't happy about the current direction of ECW and that it would become even more of a WWE style project with McMahon at the top of the creative department. So anyone expecting to watch an ECW product with heavy influence from Paul Heyman should probably stop watching now as it will now be presented heavily with Vince's own vision of the product. This decision was not a popular one backstage as the hope was that while ECW would be a third brand under WWE, it would also have the opportunity to be presented differently. That is no longer the case anymore.

According to reports, many wrestlers were said to have enjoyed the segment on ECW on Sci Fi this past Tuesday where WWE creative team member Christopher DeJoseph was caned by The Sandman. The feeling backstage among wrestlers was that this was a form of karma for DeJoseph having been part of the team that came up with the idea for The Sandman segments.

Firstly...Dayum...It was always pretty likely to be coming...ECW third brand of WWE...But so soon?!

I don't really think McMahon ever gave Heyman enough control, and he certainly didn't give him long enough. McMahon I'm sure was planning from the start a chance to make a third WWE brand, whilst probably ruining ECW's name in the making...

Secondly...I quite liked Sandman caning the "creative mastermind" behind this terrible segments...Karma indeed...
