ECW just about done

The title situation and ECW show tonight is most likely a complete mess. There is no doubt that WWE did not plan on RVD losing his title(s) last night. While he still held onto the ECW Championship, he lost the WWE Championship to Edge. The most telling sign that RVD was not supposed to lose the title last night is on ECW.com where they still have a BIG advertisement that states:

Extreme Rules Match: For the ECW & WWE Championships with a photo of Edge & RVD.

So obviously, with tonight being ECW's one big shot at running solo and in one of their largest markets, WWE had planned on RVD being put over strong. Also, you will notice that there was no mention of Sabu last night on WWE. Just another indication of how WWE has already possibly hit the panic button when it comes to these two. They have however, updated ECW.com with the news of the arrests of both RVD and Sabu and have added a short blob about Edge winning the title last night that reads the following:

During the Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship on RAW, John Cena hit RVD with an FU and appeared to be on his way to winning gold. However, Edge nailed Cena with the WWE Championship belt and then covered the already fallen RVD for the victory.

The Preview for tonight still reads that Edge will face RVD For the WWE & ECW Titles. I guess you could assume that RVD vs Edge is still on for tonight with each one of them putting up their belts - that way WWE doesn't have to backtrack from the Main Event they have been advertising for over a week.

However, with all of this going on, you better believe WWE is being very cautious with both Sabu and RVD. WWE won't be able to accord any special treatment to the two superstars and may have to set an example with the both of them that they are not going to allow drugs into their locker room. It will be interesting to see what happens, but you better believe that ECW is hanging by a lifeline right now with Sabu and RVD's futures in the balance. Without those two, ECW is void of any major superstar while Kurt Angle is away on hiatus. Added to that, ECW would be without any true "ECW Original" leader. In the end, it may not be Vince McMahon that brought ECW down, but two of it's very own for their stupidity this past weekend.

It is hard saying what is going to happen but I think they will both be suspended and maybe even fired, who knows. If these to are gone that isn't good for ECW at all. Or maybe not good for another company, like maybe TNA.

why wouldent it be good for tna? if rvd is fired do you really think no one will want him?

I wasn't thinking of it like that that would be good for TNA^. I was thinking of it like the WWE would start stealing wrestlers from there company. But If RVD got fired from WWE, TNA would sign him right up.

I'm pretty sure WWE won't fire RVD and therefore not Sabu either, mainly cause RVD is just too big a name to lose if ECW is to be any sortof a success. Without RVD, and Angle perhaps returning to SmackDown! ECW will be over before it's even really started as noone will be able to carry ECW like RVD pretty much has to.
