therealfolkblues Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) Well the debut of the "new" ECW was certainly crap .....They need to distance themselves from the WWE if they are ever going to even remotely appear to be the "outlaws" they are supposed to be. The catch-22 is that they need to involve the WWE, because they have so far only felt the need to sign washed-up never-was wrestlers and use them to get regularly get punked-out by the "thug" John Cena. If Paul Heyman pulls this off, it will be a miracle. I can already see Vince and his writers' hands all over this. Oh yeah, for whoever asked, the zombie was a jab at Sci-Fi for requesting genre-specific characters such as aliens, a time-traveller and vampires. Everyone who wants to see some cutting edge wrestling with storylines that do not insult your intelligence, please seek out Ring of Honor. Booked by a former ECW employee, Gabe Sapolsky, ROH is as close as your going to get to ECW(smark fans and all). ROH has consistently been the best wrestling promotion in the U.S. since oh, about the middle of 2004.

bandit29 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Ya ECW last night meh....And I love RVD but after all these years he still can't shoot on the mic. Hell that one girl couldn't even strip tease right lol She needs more practice removing her bra... They should go dig up Jerry Lynn. He and RVD used to have awesome matches. I wonder if Mike Awesome and Super Crazy are still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) Yeah, I've seen tidbits of Ring of Honor, and it's pretty good. However, I recommend International Wrestling Syndicate.

I wonder if Mike Awesome and Super Crazy are still around. 407823[/snapback] Jerry Lynn works for TNA, he had been an agent of sorts after an in ring injury( a bad Juvi driver). He has started working some TNA shows, most notably the one they just had in the former ECW arena. RVD wanted Lynn for this years ONS, but obviously that didn't happen. Mike Awesome(along with Masato Tanaka) stole last year's ONS, and as far I know, "wasn't available" for this year's. Take that for what you will, it has been rumored that he wanted too much money, which I can believe, and mentioned the '06 ECW PPV on his website, pretty much burying it(probably because he isn't involved ). He works for Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan(another great promotion) most of the time now anyways. Super Crazy works on Smackdown, but from the looks of this weeks spoilers, he may be headed back to ECW to give the WWE "superstars" they are feuding with someone to beat up. Is it any wonder I primarily watch Independent/Japanese wrestling ? Edited June 14, 2006 by therealfolkblues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them as well, and if you like that style, they, along with CZW are some of the best at it. I prefer ROH because it reminds me of the classic matches I watched growing up. Like in the "real" NWA(Flair/Steamboat/Midnight Express/Road Warriors) the UWF(Dr Death Steve Wiliams/Terry Gordy/"old school" Sting). Even better, they present it much like the Japanese, more like a sport. So that means we don't have to put up with a 60 year old man parading around with his ass hanging out talking about his latest trip to the salon for an "asscial", as well as making out with surgically-enhanced divas to prove to us what a man he is .

areaseven Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Well, the ECW show was crap, but it was actually good news for SciFi: No matter what you thought of ECW on Sci Fi last night, the show was a winner in the ratings, scoring a 2.7 cable rating with a 4 share and 2.357 million households. For a debut on a new, non-wrestling network that is an amazing number for them and a great opening night figure. WWE is very happy with the rating. Other notes: The original script for last night's ECW show featured The Sandman squashing an alien, but Sci-Fi network argued that it did not want an alien squashed on its network. WWE instead used "The Zombie" in the segment. More science-fiction related characters and angles will be part of future broadcasts.Last night's ECW show was actually written by Paul Heyman, however, it was tweaked by the WWE creative team. Despite Heyman, the show was more of a Vince McMahon production rather than a Paul Heyman production. Heyman wrote the show to meet Vince McMahon's expectations and visions of ECW. Paul Heyman thought the show was a train wreck. As a matter of fact, several people in the company thought the show was a complete disaster and a failure. Tazz's PPV "match" with Jerry Lawler at ECW ONS was put on last night's ECW show because the actual taping ran a little short and they had to fill time somehow. Also, the production crew missed a few cues during the battle royal. They fixed the mistakes before the taping aired though. ECW ring announcer Steven DeAngelis was told to come to the show, but when he arrived to the arena, he was told that his services were no longer required. DeAngelis was told that he was not going to be used and thus he was sent home. The new ECW announcer will be Justin Roberts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealfolkblues Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Did anybody hear about the ECW house show over the weekend at the famed ECW arena? Highlights included: -The debut of my personal hero CM Punk, in a win over Stevie Richards. -The crowd chanting "this show sucks" and "don't come back" at the Big Show. -Paul Heyman had to come out at one point to try to placate the crowd, which crapped on the "new" ECW all night, (with the exception of CM Punk's debut). He basically told the crowd that they should be thankful that ECW is even back at all. -RVD beat Kurt Angle. Speaking of RVD, when are they going to get the WWE title off of him so we can get in to some original ECW angles?

therealfolkblues Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 RVD and Sabu the new Cheech and Chong? Sorry, but I had to post this: Wrestling stars busted in Hanging Rock By Kirsten Stanley/The Ironton Tribune Monday, July 3, 2006 10:10 AM CDT HANGING ROCK — Two wrestling superstars from Extreme Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment may be tough in the ring, but they didn’t have enough muscle to escape drug charges after being stopped Sunday night by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Robert Alex Szatowski, aka WWE and ECW champion Rob Van Dam, and Terry Michael Brunk, aka Sabu, also a former ECW champion, were pulled over on U.S. 52, near Patrick Street in Hanging Rock at about 10:15 p.m. The two were apparently driving from their performances at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena earlier in the evening. According to the OSHP, Szatowski was initially stopped for speeding. When troopers approached his vehicle, they smelled marijuana and performed a search. Troopers found the wrestler in possession of 18 grams of marijuana and five Vicodin, prescription pain pills. Brunk was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and also had nine pills that were not immediately identifiable, but were known to be controlled substances, according to the OSHP. Both were cited and posted bond at the scene. Szatowski, of Battle Creek, Mich., has had a long, successful career with both the WWE and ECW. In addition to being the current champion of both, he has been intercontinental champion six times, hardcore champion four times and has been a part of several championship tag team duos. He is scheduled to wrestle tonight on WWE Raw and is also wrestling Tuesday night to retain his WWE and ECW titles during the “Extreme Rules Match†on the Sci-Fi channel. Brunk, who lists his hometown as Bombay, India, on the WWE Web site, has also had a successful career with the ECW, earning world heavyweight championship titles two times and tag team championship honors three times. Both Brunk and Szatowski are scheduled to appear at 10 a.m. Thursday in Ironton Municipal Court. Both wrestlers won their matches last night in Huntington, W.Va. Van Dam defeated the Big Show and Sabu defeated Justin Credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit29 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Well RVD loses two belts, two nights in a row and has been suspended for 30 days by Paul Heyman ah this sucks http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/news/rvdsuspended Moments after screwing Rob Van Dam out of the ECW Championship, Paul Heyman gave the following statement to ECW.com: “As of this moment, Rob Van Dam has been suspended for 30 days.†I approached Heyman immediately as he came backstage following the match to ask him why he screwed Van Dam. Heyman only smiled and offered the above statement. I followed him to ask him why RVD was suspended and why he was screwed out of the ECW Championship…but he only walked faster. When I finally got to his office door, Heyman slammed the door in my face. Unfortunately, what should have been RVD’s holiday weekend homecoming went from bad to worse to downright horrible. On Monday morning, everything seemed cool as RVD walked into the Wachovia Center as both the ECW and WWE Champion; Tuesday night, however, he left the building with no gold and no job for a month. After losing the WWE Championship to Edge in a Triple Threat Match on RAW, RVD also lost his ECW Championship to Big Show live on ECW on Sci Fi Tuesday night. With the referee down, Van Dam seemingly had the match won after a Five-Star Frog Splash. Paul Heyman went to count the pinfall like he did at One Night Stand…but before he got to three, Heyman stopped and stared at RVD. Van Dam looked like he had just lost his best friend, and as he and Heyman did some jaw jacking, Big Show recovered. He spun Rob around and nailed him with a chair, and after a vicious chokeslam on that same chair, ECW had a new champion. And now, with the suspension levied by Heyman, it looks like RVD won’t have a chance to right the wrong he has been handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealfolkblues Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Well, even though RVD lost both belts in successive nights, I felt the WWE protected him well. The only way Big Show beat him was through the interference of Heyman. The plan is once he gets back from his suspension, he will get the same push, so basically he will be hotter than ever since getting screwed over by Heyman. I am glad to see that RVD will be getting a chance to redeem himself once he comes back, I thought his big chance had gone up in smoke .On another suspension-related note, it seems Kurt Angle's time off is really a suspension, but no one will say what for....

areaseven Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 This Sunday, WWE presents Unforgiven. I probably won't watch it, but here are my predictions: Kane vs. Umaga It's a known fact that Kane won't put newbies over and the WWE wants to keep Umaga's undefeated streak intact, so expect a no-contest between the two or otherwise a DQ from one of them. Carlito vs. Randy Orton Carlito spits in the face of the Legend-killer. WWE Tag Team Championship - Spirit Squad vs. The Highlanders Sorry, but the Bushwhackers in Kilts will not win the belts. That goes to show that WWE doesn't care about the Tag Titles anymore. WWE Women's Championship - Lita vs. Trish Stratus Trish announced her retirement, so don't be surprised if she loses to Lita. WWE Intercontinental Championship - Johnny Nitro vs. Jeff Hardy Expect Hardy to win. Hell in a Cell - D-Generation X vs. The McMahons & Big Show Like anyone actually cares about this feud. WWE Championship (Tables, Ladders & Chairs) - Edge vs. John Cena TLC is Edge's turf, so expect him to win. Besides, Cena's gonna jump to SmackDown!, anyway.

areaseven Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Time to dust off this thread with the latest wrestling news. First off, from WWE.com: Roddy Piper Diagnosed with Cancer WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy†Roddy Piper has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Also known as Hodgkin’s disease, Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a form of cancer found in the body’s lymphatic tissue. The lymphatic system helps filter out bacteria and is important in fighting diseases. Piper was sent home early from WWE’s early-November tour of the United Kingdom and hospitalized for surgery, where doctors removed a mass at the spinal cord with an enlarged lymph node. The mass was completely removed, but the lymph node was positive for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Radiation therapy is used to treat Hodgkin’s lymphoma; it is an extremely successful procedure, so the prognosis is very good for Piper. Michelle McCool Hospitalized SmackDown Diva Michelle McCool has been hospitalized for what she thought was general sickness and acute back pain. The decision to admit herself may have saved her life. An ultra sound and other extensive tests revealed that McCool was suffering from an enlarged kidney and an electrolyte imbalance. The condition is severe enough that she has been hospitalized for over a week--including Thanksgiving, so far. According to WWE Doctor Ferdinand Rios, had the condition been left untreated, McCool could have encountered other major health issues such as heart or kidney failure. “Her condition was complicated by an electrolyte imbalance; sometimes those cannot be corrected immediately, and due to lack of sodium [in her body] she needed a lot of intravenous fluids,†said Rios. During treatment McCool mentioned a singeing pain in her chest to her doctors. “Michelle most likely suffered a fractured sternum from one of her matches where she may have been kicked in the chest,†explained Rios. Rios said the support and well-wishing McCool has received from her family and WWE fans has helped keep her upbeat and headed down the road to recovery. Without further complications, she should be home in time for the upcoming holiday season. “She’s getting better and is getting stronger, and at this time is free from infection,†Rios said. “When I spoke to her she was in good spirits.†Ashley Does Playboy It’s official – WWE has named Ashley next in line to be a Playboy cover girl. The sexy SmackDown Diva has signed on to grace the cover of the magazine’s April 2007 issue, just in time for WrestleMania 23. “I’m super-honored, majorly honored,†Ashley told WWE.com in an exclusive interview. “That’s something big, to be on the cover of Playboy.†Check back on WWE.com later this week for more on Ashley’s upcoming Playboy pictorial. Candice Michelle Injured As a result of an injury suffered on RAW, Candice Michelle will have surgery to repair a deviated septum. The surgery will take place this Thursday, Nov. 30. Candice was injured Monday night on RAW when Victoria delivered a vicious kick to her face during the Divas Battle Royal. The full extent of the injury was revealed after Candice visited a specialist on Tuesday, and it was determined that surgery would be needed to repair it.
