I'm here to give an extended overview about ECW, old and new.
The current originals vs new breed feud sounds nice but what really is the point?
On one side it brings a huge loss: four members of the roster will be lost, and they don't have a huge roster to release wrestlers like they will. Van dam and dreamer still got legs to walk, can't say the same about sandman and sabu, those guys are old. sure it's fun watching them but they can't work a match anymore...sandman can barely punch a guy. Yeah it's sad and i'm a huge fun about the old ecw, but we got to face the facts. The point it's to promote the new breed of wrestlers, and unless they put up a great performance and lose i don't see the originals winning this one.
The future? can't really say much, dreamer will go back to the office or become a gm of sorts in ecw, that would be awesome!!, and rvd will probably leave for tna, his contract is expiring. So what's left of ecw? they have a crappy dance act, they have a monster that isn't getting any heat, i'm talking snitsky here, they have a veteran holly that will leave as well, he's getting old too, and you have old originals that job when they appear on tv. On top of that you have a terrible champ, a promising cm punk, and four new breeders that can go anywhere.
Right now there isn't any point in makiing the new breed win as well, why? cause there are four of them, and they get an equall push, it would be nice seeing them feud amongst themselves. So the originals may win by miscomunication by the new breeders. WWE will make ecw slump unless they get some ecw originals there like benoit, a much better ecw champ, and super crazy, a still great wrestler.
Also there isn't much sense in the characters: a follower of vampirism??what the hell!!?? that stinks. an ex-highschool teacher??!! gimme a break. Matt could be a great heel, but please give him a better gimmick. Not much can be told about ecw as it is now.
ecw showed great promise when it started, they had angle, big show, he was good as champion, test, and some other originals. They had a great combination of talent. but what did they do? they messed it up. There could have been a tag division, with FBI sandman and dreamer, burke and terkay, sabu and van dam...at least those, oh and doring and roadkill, but they released them like hell was breaking loose. And thus the tag teram division that could be very entertaining just disapeared.
now lets approach the jobbing: credible was huge and then jobs, balls and stevie are good but job, al snow could relive and be the comical reliefe of the show...jobs. dreamer against khali, jobbing at full speed. gimme a break dreamer could have won some freaking matches!!
one thing that's missing is the larger than life personas of the Dudleyz, huge miss for ecw and wwe, the true sandman, dreamer, and many many others. sure you can't relive the past but at least try some approach. almost forgot...what's the point of extreme if there are no extreme matches??!! i want to see barbed wire, tables, flames, chairs...i wanna see VIOLENCE, the blood...this ecw is a way to give pushes before wrestlers go to either raw or smackdown...remember khali?
I could talk waaaaaaaay more about the old ecw and i will soon.
right now i wanna know what do you guys think about this.
so it seems this feud is promoting the new breed, but can't wwe give the respect the originals deserve? I guess we'll know for sure on sunday...
