Why don't they actually bring out real gimmick wrestlers from the past? Steve Lombardi has had a ton of dfifferent gimmicks - why not use him? How about getting Gobbledygooker, TL Hopper, or Duke "The Dumpster" Droese? If they insist on having a cartoonish element to ECW, why not have some fun with it?
I'd much rather have The Sandman caning the hell out of The Big Slow or Mike Knox, but you take what you can get.
