Well Super Crazy and Pscicosis are already hired, but what a fucking show RVD and Heymans shoot promos were awesome and the matche's were fantastic, Tazz should return to the ring Kurt Angle awaits at the Great American Bash

Well the way I see it. Every WWE PPV from here on out will be a dissapointment compared to this. Its an inevitable fact of life. WWE does not have the guts, balls, smarts, or talent to do what happened last night. I think WWE would be wise to give a Heyman either a run with and ECW product again or have in charge of writing and booking for both RAW and Smackdown. Seriously if you saw the show, or if you are going to see it, you will never look at WWE the same way again. It will be downright dull.

I wouldn't go that far. You have to keep in mind that it is nothing but hardcore wrestling and yes it was the best PPV I have seen in a long time, but WWE couldn't do that stuff for many reasons. The biggest reason would be the cost of insurance and the shareholders of the company.

I kind of liked the contrast of the WWE and ECW going agaisnt each other. Lets face it, 3 of the best promos to hit the air in a very very long time would have never even happened if WWE hadn't been there and not part of the show.

The Half Boy

I'm planning to catch the show later, but I read JV's report. Did anyone make mention of the fact that Taz was the first person to defeat Kurt Angle?

Tomorrow's Just An Excuse Away,
So I Pull My Collar Up And Face The Cold, On My Own.
The Earth Laughs Beneath My Heavy Feet,
At The Blasphemy In My Old Jangly Walk.

Taz with one Z had me laughing lol.

I bet that Alfonso or whatever his name is (whistle boy?) will become RVD's manager. There may even be a heel turn in there somewhere, finally.

If Alfonso goes to WWE I'm gonna bust a gut laughing. He's had way to much speed or something. I kept gasping at RVD's comments and then laughing at that bouncing whistle boy during the shoot interview.

Creature of the Night

RVD showed raw emotion in that ring. I chuckled when he spoke about his vocabulary being limited to 'cool' and 'awesome'. lol!

Joey Styles is fantastic as the play by play guy. He knows the moves, he conveys emotion really really well, and he has this methodical way of looking at matches and doesn't say too much like a Mike Tenay would. The way EVERYONE was so 'ECW family-like' was great. From the ring announcers to Styles to Gertner, to everyone... they were great.

You've gotta think that Heyman LOVED saying what he said to Bischoff. He won't be reprimanded for it, I think Vince wants to rub it in Bischoff's face just as much as Heyman did. The RVD 'back office' shoot might rub Vince up the wrong way but again, he's prepared for it. A smart writer might even use it to actually push the guy properly when he's recovered.

Signings? Psychosis, Super Crazy (and Juvi Guererra) and Johnny Swinger are already signed (if im not mistaken), Awesome was great when he was allowed to use the moveset that he used in that match. Stuff like top rope Awesome-Bombs and the odd suicide dive that doesn't take away from the fact that Undertaker did them too (I think thats the reason that Awesome said he didn't ever hit one in WWE) WCW just buried the guy under crappy gimmick after crappy gimmick. The 'Career Killer' (just like Randy's Legend Killer) gimmick was OK but got old so they gave him a shitty '70's Guy' gimmick :S Disgusting

Tanaka vs Awesome featured on many an ECW PPV, so its no surprise they pulled it out of the hat. Tajiri vs Super Crazy should have been MUCH better, they had some epics in ECW beforehand. They should sign Sinister Minister as a valet just to give the product some edge on SmackDown.

Although i've not seen the ppv, due to the fact i don't have sky sports, i've read the reports and seen the pics and i now can't wait for the dvd release.


I hope wwe pushes rvd when he returns to maybee a main eventer on smackdown because lets face it, booker is past his prime, taker i've not seen for ages and unless they get either batista or someone crowd pulling on smackdown from the draft, smackdown is going to bomb as quick as itv's celebrity wrestling.

WWE Need paul heyman back on the writing staff, tanaka should be brought in along with maybee alfonso and he and rvd could form a tag team because the smackdown tag division sucks.


On a side note, i heard CM Punk has been signed up to a wwe contract which might be cool.
