I dont know, I doubt it'll be as long as other PPVs because;
ECW is only an hour long
On the 1hr show they usually have 3 or so matches, and most of the talent will be in the Chamber.
Theres only 1 title belt right now
They should really bring the TV title back and a Tag title. ECW is pretty limited and basic right now.
ECW will never be the same.

MNM are re-uniting 4 one nite 2 take on the Hardy Boyz, and the Extreme Chamber... thats all that scheduled right now. But ECW is 2nite so other matches will materialise. Maybe Ariel v Kelly Kelly. I dont know who Sandman is going to face, seeing as thats him on the posted you'd think he'd be a big part in the PPV... and it seems like they're wasting Tommy Dreamer, hes a commentator right now :?
Im not sure, we dont really get ECW over here. All I know is, ECW is failing badly. Maybe they should keep the Hardyz on ECW and start a tag team division up with belts. Its stupid to only have 1 belt on ECW, what are they thinking? Its a shame the Dudleys said they'll never work for Vince again, cos ECW need them right now. And maybe put Rey Mysterio there too, RAW dont really need him.
I hope Sabu wins, hes amazing imo and hes not used as much as he should be, but I doubt he will win tho. Maybe he'll be a more suitable TV Title holder. I think Test will probably win.

Roddy Piper diagnosed with cancer
November 27, 2006
http://www.wwe.com/content/media/ima...side/piper.jpgWWE 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.
Damn, thats real bad news. Piper is a living legend.
I dont get ECW becasue it should be a steping stone for Indi wrestliers to get there shots. There are so many Indi's federations that have been robbed of talent by the new ECW (and WWE) but then they dont use them...........i just dont get it. My cousin left his Indi curcit just to have ECW put him in 3 matches and send him away. I think the whole ECW thing was a mistake
I want Lashley to win, I don't think Sabu or RVD would win, it's sort of like thier punishment for their getting caught with weed incident, lmao, I guess its that serious, but anyways it's like the same way they Randy Orton, they didnt kick him off television because they didnt want to screw up the storyline so they cut his check big time, but with RVD specifically he was the flagship for the new ECW as someone said, but Vince felt like he made him look like a fool and thats why he originally lost the belt to Big Show. I don't know we'll see this Sunday.
P.E.A.C.E.
Well, isn't Big Show rumored to maybe be retiring at Wrestlemania? His back is real bad, and he's not going to be able to wrestle much longer. I doubt Sabu will win the title on Sunday. He might not be around much longer, because of some of the things he's been doing lately. I haven't really been following ECW too much recently. I don't think it would be good to have any more belts on the show currrently though, since it's only an hour show. There just wouldn't be much time for things to develop. I think Vince should give Paul Heyman more control of the show again, but I doubt that will happen.
By the way, what's the point of reuniting MnM for one night? The last time they were on together, they were arguing, and they broke up the team. It doesn't make any sense for them to be teaming up together with no backplot. Just a no-meaning match against the Hardy's to get some pops from the crowd.
Did anyone else think that Cryme Tyme, 'Kramer' parody on Raw was really stupid? lol
I think ecw needs more airtime, and they need to put more matches on each week, at the moment its the same amount of HEAT lol
Though i think ECW is alright and i think it will get better over time imo
That's some bullshit right there, Lashley? That dude is garbage on a Tuesday waiting to be picked up next Monday. He's quite the specimen and shit.. but damn the dude can't wrestle. I'm sick and tired of these big men ruining the game. In my opinion, the best atheletes in the Chamber this week are; RVD, Sabu, CM Punk. I think they SHOULD give the title to CM Punk. For one, they could branch off and go in so many different directions with him. Maybe start a RVD/Punk fued. Which would be off the fucking meatrack. Sabu could fued with a loser like Test and then Big Show could just leave ECW which he should have done in the first place. Bringing Lashley with him preferebly. As for Booker, that's my dawg.. hate the gimmick too. Batista is another Lashley. Garbage talent. Book might not be.. you know.. 1996 Booker.. but he still can do some shit. One more run for the Bookerman wouldn't be bad, in all honesty he should retire on one more title run.Quote:

First off, bring the Hardyz to ECW and maybe even MNM. I hear SD! has great tag talent, so stealing from them would be stupid though I'd love to see Paul London and his partner in ECW. They got some talent. Maybe you could tag Sabu and RVD if either doesn't win the world title. But yeah.. ECW is mad basic right now I caught last night's show and it was good mainly because I got to see another RVD v. Sabu match but because it was refreshing to see matches and not Diva Strip Poker.. or some other lame WWE Gimmick.Quote:

And of course, Sabu is great. He's probably over 40 by now and he still has the energy and charisma to put his body on the line just for the crowd. If no body knows the history that Taz and Styles talk about when RVD/Sabu are together.. go cop some cheap ass wrestling tapes and see what they were all about in ECW. Go even further and cop some Sabu in Japan tapes when he was 20 years old and shit. The dude is my all time favorite and I was pissed he never won TNA gold (did he?) and now I don't think he'll get the respect to at least hold the [fake] ECW title. In the longrun, I hope that ECW does fail. And then maybe some of the ECW talent go to RAW/SD!. I'd love to see RVD/Sabu team up on Monday Nights. Sandman on Smackdown. Even Balls maybe on like.. Shotgun Saturday Night.. lol. But yeah.. ECW seems to be failing and I can only guess their ratings suck. So we'll see what happens before WM cuz I don't see them pulling the plug on ECW before then.
wrestling in general is not exciting. it was cooler when the nwo, dx the flock, and the nation were around
Here's a little True/False for ya'll.
Sabu (as Sabu) was accompanied to the ring by the ORIGINAL Sheik at WCW Halloween Havoc '95 to face Jerry Lynn (as a masked "Mr. JL").
True or fizalse?
In 95, I don't think I was watching a whole lot of wrestling at that time. Wasn't the late Original Sheik the uncle of Sabu?
Well, I haven't been keeping track of the ratings for ECW quite as much in the last couple of months or so. But I do know that it was pulling in good ratings, and better than they had expected. I think it's the most popular, or one of the most popular shows on the Sci Fi channel, so the channel extended it's agreement for a longer amount of time.
Yeah, TnA is still only an hour, and they have more than just one belt. Though, they also have monthly pay per views, unlike ECW. Plus, they have less filler(non wrestling) on their shows.
I'd have to agree. I tend to be a fan of factions/stables, especially heel groups. There just hasn't been many solid heel factions in recent years, that I can think of.Quote:

Also, there were several matches at the PPV. I haven't been watching ECW lately. But from what people were saying in this thread, it sounded like ECW was only promoting two of the matches on their tv show? lol
Paul Heyman was sent home, and is done with ECW(WWE). If this isn't a storyline, the future of 'ECW' doesn't look too bright. lol
it is only ecw by name now i heard sabu is going to be cut soon vince wont let rvd ever win the title and most all the old ecw stars have become jobbersQuote:

Btw anyone watch Raw last night? anyone here those banging noises during the main event in the crowd? Wonder what it was, i was hoping it was VKM :lmao:
From what I heard, its real and not a storyline. Vince was extremely disappointed in the ECW PPV and blamed Heyman for it. We'll have to wait and see.Quote:

God damn right, I blame Sci-Fi for everythingQuote:

but Vince knows wrestling he dont know football but can put a wrestling show together that is why TNA or ROH will not catch the wwe even if they get Jericho or triple H to signd with TNA...you can get good draw in RVD, not the rest of the ECW talent why becuase they are burnouts, and are third rate talent period.
Paul Heyman:
PWInsider.com has just reported the details on Paul Heyman’s departure from not only ECW but apparently WWE as a whole. According to Dave Scherer, Vince McMahon was furious at last night’s ECW December to Dismember pay per view and is trying to pin all the blame on Paul Heyman. Nevermind the fact that it was more of a WWE style pay per view than an ECW one.
According to Dave’s sources Vince believes that Paul doesn’t get what the new vision of ECW should be and that he is “caught in the past”. So how did all of this come about?
Well apparently the problems started last night when Heyman, angry at how the show was being booked, began voicing his opinions before, during and after the show. Reportedly there were definite issues between Vince and Paul that escalated today at the tapings where a meeting was held at approx 2pm eastern time with Heyman, Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, and Vince McMahon.
After the meeting Heyman came out of the meeting looking normal like nothing had transpired. He then grabbed his stuff and left. The word is this is NOT a storyline at all and that Paul Heyman is done with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Reason why ECW PPV matches weren't annonced:
One of the main reasons the ECW December to Dismember didn't have a larger advertised undercard was because Vince McMahon reportedly wanted all of the viewers' focus on the Extreme Elimination Chamber main event.
McMahon was said to have been even against advertising the "open challenge match" between The Hardys and MNM. It should also be noted that McMahon may take this new philosophy (while not as severe for the ECW PPV) for upcoming Raw and Smackdown PPV events by announcing two to three matches only and downplaying any undercard matches, if even announcing them ahead of time at all
Some shit I found
P.E.A.C.E.
that sucks, big show was great
Gotta respect ECW alumni for being burnedout.. they been to hell and back in the buisness.Quote:

I thought Heyman would go to TNA.
Vince Russo isnt the greatest though, Heyman would have been a perfect replacement. Can you see any ECW wrestlers following Heyman to the AWA?
sabu maybe dreamer maybe most of them maybe none of themQuote:
