*Merged* Who would you move over to ECW?

[Crush1]

I dont think that bringing a top star into ecw is neccesary because ecw is a developement brand.The roster is fine as it is with many talents that can put on a good show of one hour of wrestling.

If a top star like rey mysterio (just an example) wouldbe brought into ecw it would be unfortunate for the talent because they would have less tv time

And the wwe feels no reason to put some major star into ecw.You have to see ecw like a stair, superstars have to climb it to get higher up.

 

[My$terio_Fan]

No, I don't think ECW needs a "top tier" star. Unless it was someone like Cena or HHH I don;t see it helping the ratings. They wouldn't particuarly help the ratings and would have to compete on basicaly a high version of "Heat". ECW already has some veteran guys who can help out the newbs(Hardy/Finlay) and the brand is creating it's own stars like Bourne, Miz, Morrison. A top tier star coming to ECW would be pointless and take away attention from the newer guys. ECW is basically a glorrified "OVW" or "FCW" and helps create new stars and they don't need a top guy stealing their spots and the top guy would just be wasted from achieving anything important.

 

[Crush1]

We all know that ECW is a brand for talent developement, its suposed to improve and bring up young talent from Fcw or Ovw and revive the careers of some wrestlers who are at a dead end on Raw or Smackdown.

Trough the course of time, it has proven succesfull for many young talent and some superstars. Thus meaning ECW is doing its job. A few example's:

Talent Brought up: Evan Bourne, Jack Swagger.
Career's Revived: John Morrison, Matt Hardy,Theodore Long.
Wrestlers Improved: The Miz, Kofi Kingston, CM Punk.

ECW isnt meant to be a high rated brand, so its no use to bash it like some people do. Instead you could praise it for being the only brand that provides more wrestling than other brands and that it's a showcase for talent who want to get into the business.

And of course ECW also has a loyal fanbase because the ratings have been the same for over 2 years.A 1.2 rating says that people want to see young talent and that if the talent get's more succesfull the ratings too.

But lets get to the point, which wrestler(s) do you think should move over to ECW? To Improve or Revive? This is my take:

Kenny Dykstra: This young wreslter needs to be repackaged, but he should stay an heel. The reason his because i've seen his mic skill and ring ability, he's not so bad but needs improvement and he has no gimmick.I'm sure if he were to move over he would become a great superstar.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

I'm basically the only person within a radius of 150 nautical miles who would say this, but I'd really like to see Hardcore Holly back on ECW. Being there did wonders for him...he got injured, but he also got over, relatively. And he basically became one of the top reasons to watch the show for a while. He had some great matches and if they'd maintained his face push after the whole table gash incident he could well have been ECW Champion. Ah well, that time's past I guess.

For a more likely diagram, I think it'd be very good for Dykstra to be moved to ECW. He won't get anywhere on SmackDown with his attitude and current push, but he's got the wrestling skills and the mic skills to make it far. Going to ECW might allow him to get the heel push he's deserved for a while now.

I also think Rey Mysterio would be better off on ECW. None of the smarks can take him seriously as a world title contender again, and he'd bring a great deal of excitement to ECW, even if he can't perform at the level he used to these days. Better than being put in half-cooked angles on Raw anyway. ECW needs another over face.

 

[JackAttack]

Dykstra would definitely be a good choice, as he is wasting away on Smackdown.

I would also say Manu would be a good choice. He may be involved with priceless, but he hasn't really done anything so far. I don't know where they plan on taking this stable, but I can't imagine Manu playing an important role in it. He just doen't fit in with the other guys, so he'll probably be a jobber before too long unless they decide to finally do something with him.

If he moved to ECW, he would get a chance to show of his skills, something he can't do in six man tag matches.

 

[My$terio_Fan]

I think it could maybe help DLo Brown help revitalize his career like it did for Morrison, Hardy, Henry, ect. Since his "big" debut he had a short mini feud with Santino and that's basically it. I think they should send him to ECW and team him with Henry & Atlas. He could have a pretty good feud with Hardy since both are capable workers(unlike Henry).

Another would be Chuck Palambo. The man hasn't been around since the draft, and will most likely never get a push on raw. At least have him on ECW and try to repackage his character and try and get him over. Have him partner up with Hardy and be like his enforcer.

 

[Checkmate]

Ok, I'll get to reasons in a few, but-

Paul London
William Regal
Jamie Noble
Chuck Palumbo
Kenny Dykstra
D.H. Smith

All of the above could thrive in ECW. William Regal, Jamie Noble, and a few of the others could put in nice time as ECW champ, as well as in a championship feud. Besides, all of these guys are stuck in limbo in their current situation.

The only exceptions are Regal and Noble, who occasionally have something going on RAW, but this could just as easily happen on ECW and get main event time.

In addition, some of the new talent on ECW like Ricky Ortiz and Jack Swagger could be brought to main event levels.

I'd also like to see some of these guys form into teams, and could feud with both the Smackdown and Raw tag teams. I'm not saying any of them are Tag Team championship worthy, but I didn't see Miz and Morrison as champs either, and they grew on me.

 

[JackAttack]

I never thought of D'Lo Brown, but he would be a good choince as well. He may be stuck as a jobber, but they're not using him on Raw, so they might as well ship him to ECW so he can help put over the younger guys.

 

["Cool Guy" Jensen]

D-Lo Brown: I also agree that Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown should re-unite with Tony Atlas as their manager. Since D-Lo returned in June, he's only had about 3 or 4 matches with Santino Marella and nothing else. D-Lo and Mark can become a serious contender for the WWE Tag Team Championships as heels.

Charlie Haas: I am probably one of the only big fans of Haas. I think his gimmick of imitating other wrestlers, of course, but that will no doubt take him nowhere in WWE. WWE should try to rebuild Charlie Haas the same way as Shelton Benjamin and then after months of improving, Haas can get drafted back to RAW or SD!

Scotty Goldman: I love this guy also, but his gimmick seems to be a little too silly. If he goes the E.C.W., then they could repackage him and make him a serious contender for the United States Championship.

 

[Crush1]

I'm basically the only person within a radius of 150 nautical miles who would say this, but I'd really like to see Hardcore Holly back on ECW. Being there did wonders for him...he got injured, but he also got over, relatively. And he basically became one of the top reasons to watch the show for a while.

When Holly was in ECW they were still using the ''extreme'' gimmick for the brand, but now that its no longer relevant Holly would have no use in ECW because ECW is a talent raising brand.

He had some great matches and if they'd maintained his face push after the whole table gash incident he could well have been ECW Champion. Ah well, that time's past I guess.

Holly is already past his prime, he's boring, stale and he has no more use for the company. The only use he could have had was to teach the young guys the ropes, but ECW already has Finlay as a teacher.

For a more likely diagram, I think it'd be very good for Dykstra to be moved to ECW. He won't get anywhere on SmackDown with his attitude and current push, but he's got the wrestling skills and the mic skills to make it far. Going to ECW might allow him to get the heel push he's deserved for a while now.

Yes it is true that Dykstra is going nowhere, he has decent mic skills but what are you talking about when you say ''wrestling skills'' , when was the last time he didnt job? But dont forget this wrestler is still young he has all the time he needs for a new gimmick and to learn more about the business.

I would also say Manu would be a good choice. He may be involved with priceless, but he hasn't really done anything so far. I don't know where they plan on taking this stable, but I can't imagine Manu playing an important role in it. He just doen't fit in with the other guys, so he'll probably be a jobber before too long unless they decide to finally do something with him.

If he moved to ECW, he would get a chance to show of his skills, something he can't do in six man tag matches.

I would consider Manu a good choice but it cant happen. Because Manu is in a stable he cant be on different shows than his members, when priceless decides to split up, manu coming to ECW would be a logical choice.

I think it could maybe help DLo Brown help revitalize his career like it did for Morrison, Hardy, Henry, ect. Since his "big" debut he had a short mini feud with Santino and that's basically it. I think they should send him to ECW and team him with Henry & Atlas. He could have a pretty good feud with Hardy since both are capable workers(unlike Henry).

ECW would be the perfect place for DLo to revive himself. The main reason is that ECW has two faces, so Dlo should have no problem to feud with an heel. What could happen is when Hardy moves on to feud with someone new DLo can feud with Henry it would certainly make for some intresting storylines.

Another would be Chuck Palambo. The man hasn't been around since the draft, and will most likely never get a push on raw. At least have him on ECW and try to repackage his character and try and get him over. Have him partner up with Hardy and be like his enforcer.

I cant see this happening mainly because Palumbo is too old. And the ECW roster would have no use from him. Because when a wrestler gets repackaged he needs tv time and he needs to be a decent performer. Chuck is too stale for the young wrestlers to work with. You also have to consider the profit the young ECW wrestlers have from the older wrestlers. There are too many old ''worthless'' wrestlers as it is.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

By "wrestling skills" I am referring to his general wrestling and selling ability. Your workrate has little to nothing to do with your situation in the cards of WWE at times, especially in Dykstra's case. Just look at guys like Mark Henry, Vis (when he was still in WWE), JBL...don't confuse a wrestler's position on the card with his wrestling talent.

 

[ShaneO]

D-Lo Brown. A Veteran who still can wrestle quite well and is being underused on Raw. Would make a great ECW Champion and be a great teacher for the young ones on ECW.

 

[Crush1]

It's time they moved a good face to ECW, because I dont think Finlay is the best option to feud with Jack Swagger. But then again we also have the Boogeyman who is absolutely shit and if they let him feud with Swagger I know it would suck. So I suggest they move either Mr Kennedy or MVP both of them would be great choices to feud with Swagger and put new life in their carreers. And since Swagger is able to pull it off too there are only benefits for both men

 

[Mr. Slave]

Raw- Ted Dibiase. Great wrestler IMO, and he has the "World Title Look" Maybe a run on ECW could shaken things up a bit.
Smackdown- Umaga. Great heel monster, and Smackdown has WAY too many of those.

 

[650ballinwhiteboy]

ECW needs a face to hold the boat until Evan Bourne can come back and even he needs another month or 2 to build up with the fans by getting some wins

Finlay can feud for like a month
and Tommy Dreamer probally could have a 1 PPV feud about his retirement thing
but thats it

I think T-lo should bring over MVP after the loss of HArdy as a transaction with some thing in his contract about being signed to T-lo and not SD!

This could in turn, turn MVP face

 

[Jane]

Currently I would send over some of the bigger guys. This might be because I want them off the show I actually watch, but I just think they fit well over there. Umaga might be good, and Koslov too. I also think Kane should be moved back. He made a good impression there for the first time in ages, and extreme kinda fits in with Kane. He is a good one to have the ECW Title considering they don't have enough real faces, and he could have fresh fueds with lots of the guys on the brand. They could also send a few fresh faces like R-Truth or The Brian Kendrick over to make an impression and give them a title run and then bring them back to the main shows.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

I agree with all of the posters who believe that MVP should be moved to ECW. He is currently in limbo between mid-card and main-event status and he needs a proving ground to show that he merits a position in the main-event. Assuming that they plan on turning him face, there really isn't any other option for him if WWE doesn't want him to be a mid-carder for life. On Raw, Cena overshadows all other faces. Likewise, on Smackdown!, HHH and Jeff Hardy overshadow all other faces. Thus, it would pointless to keep MVP on Smackdown! or move him over to Raw.

As a general rule, I think it would be in WWE's interest to use ECW as a sort of "holding place" for wrestlers that are in a position similar to MVP. A year headlining ECW would show WWE whether or not wrestlers in this limbo between mid-card and main-event status are ultimately worth their time and effort. Of course, one disadvantage to this is that the unsung veterans on ECW (e.g., Finlay and Mark Henry) could potentially be displaced by wrestlers like MVP in the main-event scene. However, I would only see this as a problem if these aforementioned veterans saw it as a problem. And, given that they are still with WWE and haven't complained, I don't think it would be an issue with them (more than likely, they are there because they like their job and their paycheck).

 

[Deadman]

Umaga he could feud with henry and finaly and ecw would be just a little bit better

 

[chidodger]

I think Miz and Morrison get moved to RAW, Even Bourn and Swagger goto Smackdown, and I would bring Umaga, Kane, MVP and Santino to ECW. I'm guessing HHH will be back on RAW VERY soon, so maybe when Batista comes back, he'll go straight to Smackdown. ECW needs a good face, especially if swagger stays as the top heel. Either Way, I for one LOVE the new Talent goihg thru ECW. The best thing about ECW that you can't get on the other 2 is the freshness, it's like a minor league baseball team, and they're not afraid to take chances. I thought Bourn and Swagger would be busts, and ricky ortiz would be in the main event months ago when they first came around, but, It was more or less the opposite, and the bottom line is, without bringing in new talent, it's just the same old thing as the other 2. I actually hope DJ Gabrial prospers in the ECW(even though I can't stand him). My buddy sent me a few pics of this guy Shamus O'Shaugnessy, in develpmental right now, I think he looks like THE FUTURE OF ECW. What can I say, I'm Irish, he's Irish, and I can't wait to see him in action, most likely on ECW in the very near future.

 

[timmy872]

MVP would be a good choice, but in some ways I think that a run for the ECW title would be a step down for him. It would be a good match MVP and Swagger.

A more simple way to help ECW would be to get Morrison back in the title picture, Miz, I don't know, put him on RAW or Smackdown. Or just get rid of him.

DJ Gabriel looks good, but I think that he could be just another Chris Masters.

Also R- Truth, Manu or Sim Snuka perhaps would be good choices, especially Manu and Snuka, they don't have much left on RAW. Jamie Noble was a very good choice to move him over. Brian Kendrick, have a story with Ezeakial Jackson turning on him after he wins the ECW title, that could bring ECW up in my eyes.

 

[RATEDRKO4LIFE]

Firstly ECW has been shite since WWE bought it over, It's basically a training brand for those superstars who have been sloppy and when they win the title there moved to a better brand. Eg. Bobby Lashley moved to Raw, Chavo to Smackdown. Matt hardy to smackdown and so on....the list goes on.

But the question is who would you move over too ECW?

Theres quite a few so il list them

Carlito
Umaga
Dolph Ziggler
The Hurricane
Shad from Cryme Tyme
The biggest one of them all....The Big Show

 

[Spunky]

My first oick was MVP, I know he is in running for the U.S title again, But on ECW he could really shoot into superstardom, As he would be one of the focal points of the show. He seem's to becoming stagnant on Smackdown, And really need's another Matt Hardy-like fued with someone, And I reckon ECW is a better place than that, With all of the fueds that are currently on the show.

Apart from MVP I'd be at a push to reccomend another name, But I do think they are the premier "wreslting" show under the WWE flag, Therefore they could do with a couple of lower midcard, And midcard guy's just to fill out the roster, And put on a decent show with all the newcomer's that are showing up.
