Live thoughts on ECW
Last night, I was at the WWE Supershow taping of Raw and SmackDown! I’ll do a posting about my thoughts on that later. I’m watching ECW tonight and so I’ll throw my thoughts down in TextEdit.
Paul Heyman looking for company and no one wants to say hi to him. What a terrible thing. Sabu steps up to Heyman. Sabu speaks live? Faces against the heel boss? Where have I seen this before. WWECW in full effect.
When the hell is CM Punk going to wrestle? I’m tired of these damn promos. Tonight? Alright. I’ve never seen the guy wrestle. He’s got some internet buzz and they’ve got that Killswitch Engage song attached to him (Randy Orton’s theme song for a split second).
Stan “The Man” Lee talking ECW and his “Who wants to be a Superhero.” Cool.
Justin Credible vs. CM Punk
I’m actually paying attention to this match. Let’s see what CM Punk can do in WWECW. The last time I saw Justin Credible, he was getting destroyed by Kurt Angle. Could he be an ECW jobber? Justin Credible’s got a nice moveset. CM Punk is quite good. I’m not sure he’s as great as I’ve read about, but he can be something if the WWECW doesn’t screw this up.
ECW puts over Batista
No one needs to put over Batista. The guy is over and is a legit main eventer.
Wow, the Brooklyn Brawler is on TV, twice in a week? Kurt Angle returns (from what, I’m not sure – rib injury?). Kurt Angle’s reaction at ECW is one of respect. Angle slaps around Brawler – once again, I approve. Quick match. A headbutt lead into the ankle lock. It’s good to see Angle back. I’ve read that Kurt was not happy being demoted to ECW, but he’s a good fit. I hope he enjoys the fan reaction if nothing else.
Batista vs. Show
I’m pretty show Batista didn’t win the championship considering he didn’t have the championship when I saw him on Monday night for the SmackDown! taping. The fans don’t seem to want to watch this match. Could it be that ECW fans don’t want to see two WWE guys fight it out for the ECW championship? Nah. DQ’s on an ECW is like seeing flaming tables on a televised Sunday mass.
Hey, it’s Sabu.
I never thought I’d want to watch Sabu. Then I watched WWECW for the past couple of weeks. That guy is crazy. He’s a draw.
If you want a one word opinion on this episode of ECW: “meh.”
