Lashley lobbied to be sent to ECW after being frustrated with the way he had been handled on Smackdown. The move looks like it will pay off and Lashley is expected to continue getting a strong push and looks to be in line for a title run.

Rob Van Dam is frustrated with his current situation in ECW and is miserable according to multiple backstage sources. His contract is set to expire in the next 6 months or so, and he is said to be counting the days until his deal is up.

Some people backstage are wondering if Sabu is trying to get his release with his recent behavior. As was reported at pwinsider.com, Sabu has had major backstage heat recently for falling asleep backstage for hours at a time, and for other unprofessional behavior. "It's almost as if he's trying to get fired", one source told us.

Virtually all of the ECW "Originals" are frustrated and disappointed with the direction things have gone.

The ECW announce team had expected to be involved in some way at Survivor Series but when they arrived at the building for the show they were told they weren't going to be used.

Not surprising to hear so, considering both have been pretty sloppy of late.
