I would like to personally thank Mr. Mcmahon and the WWE for pissing on ECW's grave. It is apparent you want to
put the final nail in the coffin instead of having this show succeed. And its obvious you do not understand
what made ECW great, what made it, well, ECW. If you want to right this ship, you should seriously consider
putting somebody in complete controll that understands. put Paul E. In complete controll, and watch what
happens. You'll make some money.
Ever realise that when WCW died, nobody cared. There are no reunion shows, people don't still talk about how
great it was, and how ikt shouldn't have died. ECW went broke, yet, everybody talked about it. We still chanted
it at shows, payed our heard earned dollars to see our ECW stars in new promotions, and bought the dvd's that came
out. The fans never left. ECW could have succeeded as it was, yet, we get this thrown upon us?
ECW wasn't about the gimmicks, story lines, it had that, but it was about the relationship between the fans and the
wrestlers. The fans lived, breathed, and died for ECW. And the wrestlers gave us everything they had till
exhaustion, every ounce of their blood. We waited in lines to see it, we traded tapes, did everything we could to
help it suceed, and they gave us a great show every night.
ECW fans arn't WWE marks. We are smart, intellegent wrestling fans. We're not scared to let a wrestler know when
he screwed up. But we'll give him everything he has when he does something great. The crowd is as much a part
of the show as the show itself. Yet ECW is taped after smackdown with smackdown fans? Yeah, that really worked out
well. All the young smackdown fans really understand ECW. And, they sure did get to see ECW.
And ECW champion, does a 3 minute job to get angle over? I understand the job, but he goes out there and gets
demolished? And the battle royal. That was not what ECW was about. ECW had the best wrestling anywhere (yes even
better than the precious WWF) it weasn't about beating ppl sensless with signs for 10 minutes while the big show
throws each person individulally out of the ring. I'm embarrased to see this being called ECW.
Do you want ECW to suceed? How bout giving us what ECW was about. An intimate relationship with the crowd and
the performers, and some of the best wrestling there was around. Make them their seperate vision. Why not have
them start on the east coast, in NY and philly, in their arenas, putting on their shows. Let them build a new fan
base through their existing fan base. They'll still pull off that 1.0 rating your looking for. You'd be suprised
they'd probably even eventually over take raw in the ratings.
If tonights show had been in the ECW arena, the fans would have walked out. We saw The sandman beat the crap out of
some gimmick like at the PPV, pretty lame vince, pretty lame. Then a 3 minute job worse than the sunday night heat
days. A ton of promos and commercials, and a crap battle royal. If I was Tazz, joey styles, Sabu, dreamer, RVD,
any of the guys who blead for this company till its death, I would be embarrased of myself for being apart of this
tarnishment. But, I guess money talks, and I hear you have alot of it. I'm sure their paychecks are nice
Let ECW live, or don't even bother tarnishing its legacy. I only started watching wrestling again because ECW is
back. To tell you the truth, after ECW died, and the WWE bought up everything, it started to bore me. I got the PPV
on sunday, and I thought this was going to be great. I was apparently wrong. This is not ECW, I'm embaracced to
see it called that. This is worse than raw, worse than smackdown, worse than heat, hell, its worst than the saturday
night wrestling in the early 80's.
Let ECW live, or just kill it before you ruin its legacy any more. If you let it be what it is, the fans will come,
and your stock will go up even more than it is now.
Thank you
hopefully somebody after reads this
Paul E. I hope you can right this ship
