I could stand alone in this, and a lot of you may not know exactly what I'm talking about, however.. does anyone, anyone at all believe, feel or get the impression that Mr. McMahon is allowing Paul Heyman to book Raw lately?
Yes, I realize Heyman isn't with the W.W.E., it was a joke. You know, ha ha? Anyways.. Raw is being booked, or rather not seemingly being booked, and things are happening on the fly. Noone is running the show, order is out of wack and chaos is running all over the place.
Monday Night Raw is exactly, or at least very similar in the most watered down mainstream viewers way that the old school original E.C.W. was. Tell me I'm wrong. Prove to me I'm wrong. (other than saying they aren't the same because of their names)
The fact is, in the old school E.C.W.. the show had like 3 definate matches, and the rest were just randomly started matches, and off-shoots of matches that spawned from run-in attacks. An example, on an E.C.W. Pay Per View from 1999.. a match involved Simon Diamond. At one point during that match, Jazz interfered, followed by two sets of Tag Teams. Without any segway.. the match went from Simon Diamond against whomever it was.. into a Tag Team match.
Now, take last night's Raw. Mickie James defeated Katie Lea, and without any segway more or less.. Kofi Kingston rushes out, saves the day, then wants to fight Paul Burchill and it happens. Title on the line and everything. Noone agreed to the match, except the wrestlers. Thats Old School E.C.W. stuff right there.
Another example would be the recent finishes. It was just started in another thread about how W.W.E. is getting stupid with matches not having finishes. But its another similar issue. In E.C.W., matches would end without a regular winner/loser a lot of times and noone would care because the action was so intense and out of control, noone would truly notice.
So, with all of this being said. Who else feels this is like a watered down version of the ORIGINAL E.C.W.? Also, if thats the case, do you feel they should continue with it, or stop and go back to being W.W.F./E. based?
I for one love this new version, and while its under a W.W.E. banner, the fact remains its very much E.C.W. based.. whether people want to see it that way or not. What are everyone's opinions?
