The Rebirth of ECW

[The Other Hardy Brother]

Vince McMahon was watching some old Raw footage one evening in his home and heard a loud ECW chant in the background of the broadcast. It brought forth an idea. Maybe he should give Paul Heyman a call. After speaking with Heyman on the phone for a little over an hour they agreed to give ECW one final chance. The fan interest was still there the people still chanted ECW's name at WWE and TNA shows all over the world. Vince and Paul were convinced ECW could live forever with Vince's funding and Paul's creative genius. Vince was concerned ECW wouldn't be as successful without the former stars that made it what it was so Paul suggested to him to call some of the former men who made ECW successful including the ones in TNA and see if they could get out of their contracts. He did and he was successful. Talents like RVD, Tommy Dreamer, Rhyno, and the Dudley Boyz jumped ship after asking for their releases. Dixie Carter was reluctant to give it to them at first but Hogan suggested to her to let them go instead of risking a low morale in the locker room. So everything was set for the new ECW to be successful. Paul Heyman came out to a huge ovation on Raw and announced the return of ECW on Thursday nights at 8 pm taking Superstars place. Superstars would now air at 9 on wwe.com after ECW. Paul told the fans ECW would be a mix of the stars that made it successful as well as the stars of the future. The Rebirth of ECW was set to return.

Chris Jericho comes out to a huge ovation. He slaps a few fans hands on the way down the ramp and takes a microphone.

Chris Jericho: Ya know Rhyno I was the first ever Undisputed Champion, I'm a former WCW Champion, a former WWE Champion, a former World Heavyweight Champion, and I've been Intercontinental Champion more times than anyone. But the one title that has eluded me is the ECW Championship. Let me face you tonight.

Rhyno: Ok Chris your on!

Rhyno sticks his hand out for Chris to shake it and he does but when Chris goes to walk away Rhyno pulls him in and hits him with a Gore! Rhyno then holds the ECW title up high as we go to commercial.

When we come back Joel Gertner is in the ring with the introductions.

Another thread by you, after not doing a show in the other one. Allow me to say this, making thread after thread isn't going to be a good thing. Soon nobody will want to read, and you'll be writing for with no views. Sticking with one thread is a key, building storyline, and what not. Stay with this thread, don't make anymore. Then the show had two matches, I understand it is ECW, but they had more than two. Do three, maybe four matches not two. In the end having two matches will only hurt this Book This. Also, you had little to no backstage promo time, why? ECW had it, they had some really well done backstage stuff. You need to have promos by the wrestlers to make this work. Finally, where is the roster, so I know who is on the show? It's a very simple thing, why did you leave it off?

I had no interest in doing that one once I got the idea for this one. I wouldn't have been motivated to continue that one thus I wouldn't have put the effort in. Who would wanna read that? I put two matches on this show because its only supposed to be an hour long show and I wanted both title matches to be long. Thus if you factor in commercials and other things the opening promo ect it would have ended up an hour. Finally, I plan on putting an official roster page up in the BT lounge once I've introduced everyone on my roster so just be patient.

BTW the reason I didn't post in threads in the past is because until now my internet has been up and down. Now that I have internet back I wanted to start a thread and at first went with the original one about Benoit but after realizing that would be hard as hell as well as way too controversial considering the circumstances. Coupled with this ECW revival idea this was the way to go. Be patient this is gonna be around awhile unless I lose my internet again which hopefully won't happen.

And then ECW dies again.
