Jason Old School
Dark Match Jobber
The following is the fantasy booking of an ECW January 2002 PPV. What if WWE had only purchased WCW and NOT purchased ECW. What if someone else (who had a similar bank account to Ted Turner) had purchased ECW and kept it alive as WWE’s main competition. If that would have happened in 2001, this would have been my very first PPV of 2002 as a kickoff of the re-birth of ECW. My version of an ECW re-birth would have been 50% the best of ECW’s product and 50% the best of WCW’s product. It would be a 2-night kickoff PPV; Saturday AND Sunday.....here we go!
