And obviously we all must since we watch it. I love Paul and ECW and the whole gimmick. I love what they did on the PPV. I love the feud idea they have about what is entertaining. But you have to admit, a great deal of what they do is not even close to wrestling. Don't get me wrong, it is VERY entertaining and I love the shit out of it, but it isn't fair to compare itself to WWE. It is like comparing Rugby to Football.

I would count Jericho-Storm as wrestling...I love ECW! but this is about Masters.


Now, I like his look too and I do think it's important to have a good look. I see a lot of potential in both his in-ring and mic skills. The moves I've seen him do he's done well lately and while he's not great on the mic, what he does out there is more than a lot of people could do. Most people don't even have the ability to put together sentences out there, let alone a whole promo.

I was watching Velocity one night and I saw the Bashams try to cut a promo...My gawd was it awful to watch. They must have stumbled over every line and had zero personality while speaking. They were more focused on NOT screwing up the lines than delivering effectively. You see what I'm getting at? This goes for a lot of people.

I can see Masters going far in the company if he continues to improve his workrate, but this Master Lock Challenge has to come to a payoff soon or people will just lose interest in him.

It'll be interesting to see who Masters' first feud is with. I'd like to see him go for the I-C belt and take on Benjamin. I think they could have a good match.

You really like to stick your foot in your mouth. I can go through my ECW tapes and DVDs and five you hours upon hours worth of classic wrestling. Benoit and Malenko as a tag team, Malenko vs. Gurrero, Shane Douglas vs. Taz, The Eliminators, RVD vs. Jerry Lynn. C'mon IDa you don't mean what you said. You have the Vince Mcmahon idea of ECW which is all blood and weapons. You know better.

No, actually I have the idea of the name of the company which is Extreme Championship Wrestling. There are no rules to their matches and the majority of the matches were just that. Yes, they had normal matches and some great wrestling,but the Extreme came first. Just like the Hardcore in WWE comes second.

And like I said, a great deal of what they did is not even close to wrestling. I didn't say all or most.
