Tazz gave a pretty good promo during Smackdown!, I had forgotten how good he was.

Tazz is a stellar announcer, and that position fits for him now, but it sucks he got hurt enough where he can't wrestle full time, he was great to watch (and great on the mic)

Re: ***Official ECW One Night Stand 2 Preview, Spoilers, & LIVE Discussion

is he fit enough to even get in the ring right now??? He's a great announcer... and he was a great wrestler, it's too bad that he got hurt before he was ready to retire.

There's only one way this match can play out.

Lawler comes out, insults the crowd, gets crazy heat, Taz comes out and chokes him out.

Is it possible for Taz to wrestle in limited action? To me, Taz was ECW's coolest guy besides RVD and it would be awesome to see him wrestling again. I really hope the ECW show delivers after this awful PPV but it's doubtful. ECW TV needs ECW venues, not watered down Smackdown crowds.

Tazz was the sh*t in ECW.

UPDATED CARD:






Rob Van Dam is cashing in his Money in the Bank championship opportunity at a place where he feels most comfortable - ECW One Night Stand.

John Cena has had his back against the wall many times before, yet he's still managed to walk away with his WWE Championship. Come June 11, however, RVD will have the ultimate home-field advantage when he challenges Cena for the WWE Championship. Will Cena once again find a way to defy the odds and remain WWE Champion? Or will Van Dam cash in on his opportunity? Find out at ECW One Night Stand.



At One Night Stand, fans will finally get to see a match they have been dreaming about for years. As announced by ECW’s Paul Heyman, the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal, death-defying Sabu will go one on one with SmackDown Superstar Rey Mysterio, and it will be for the World Championship.

For ECW legend Sabu, the match will be his first and maybe last opportunity to win WWE gold. Sabu has kept a low profile in recent years, and the lack of exposure may prove to be his greatest advantage. Instead of relying on recent video footage, Mysterio will be forced to rely on memory in preparing his game plan.

For Rey Mysterio, One Night Stand could provide a very unique situation. Rey has always been a fan favorite, so when he enters the ring at Hammerstein Ballroom, the potentially hostile crowd could prove to be a major distraction for the World Champion.



After months of battling each other both physically and verbally, Mick Foley and Edge have somehow developed a unique relationship. Recently on RAW, Foley extolled the virtues of Edge’s hardcore credentials, claiming Edge embodied all that is hardcore, as opposed to the slime from ECW. Foley then awarded the Rated-R Superstar the “un-retired” Hardcore Championship. Edge wouldn’t accept it, however, instead wanting Foley to have it. They looked as if they were going to fight, but the Rated-R Superstar instead had Lilian Garcia announce them as co-holders of the Hardcore Championship.

Finally, Paul Heyman emerged from the back to break up the love fest, telling Foley that he couldn’t believe the Hardcore Legend prostituted his legacy for a mutual admiration society with Edge & Lita. He then threw out a challenge for the “co-Hardcore Champions” to face any two of what Foley called “the slime that escaped from ECW” at One Night Stand. They initially refused, but after Heyman said that Lita had more balls than them, Edge accepted. The trio then came after Paul, who introduced them to their pay-per-view opponents: Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk! ECW's hardcore duo attacked Edge & Foley with various weapons, sending the icons scurrying out of the arena.




Monday night on RAW, that challenge was answered in the form of WWE Superstar Randy Orton. The returning former World Heavyweight Champion snuck up on Angle and delivered a devestating RKO which left Angle face down in the center of the ring.

The Legend Killer had spent the last several months sitting at home, healing a fractured ankle which he suffered at the hands of the Wrestling Machine during the King of the Ring Tournament. Moments after the attack, Orton spoke with WWE.com Unlimited's Todd Grisham to formally accept the challenge. "You think I forgot that Kurt Angle broke my ankle? It took me 60 days to come back and get my payback. If you think this is it, stay tuned, because Kurt Angle, I accept your challenge for One Night Stand."




Last week on SmackDown, Tazz addressed weeks of ridicule and taunting from Jerry Lawler regarding both himself, and the ECW brand, and did so in an emotional fashion. Showing the passion and intensity which made him one of the most feared and intimidating World Champions in ECW history, Tazz issued a challenge to Lawler for One Night Stand.

Addressing The King as 'old man', Tazz made a guarentee. "You wanna go on RAW, and you wanna talk junk about ECW and about me not being tough no more...but here's the deal my friend. If you show up at One Night Stand, with god as my witness, I guarantee I will choke you out."

This week on RAW, Lawler responded to Tazz' challenge. "Tazz, for the last 10 years, we've heard you talk about how bad you are. The truth is, the only thing bad about you is your announcing. You say you have one match left in you...Well Tazz, I accept your challenge, and I promise you that One Night Stand will be your last stand."



There will be no running away at One Night Stand. What will happen when four of the most hardcore Superstars in sports-entertainment history collide at this extreme event? Watch the pay-per-view on June 11 to find out.

So far this card looks like a WWE PPV with a few ECW invaders. Good going WWE.

I didn't play Smackdown vs. Raw but it seems like that type of random PPV.

I guess I'm one of the few that is really looking forward to ONS??

Re: ***Official ECW One Night Stand 2 Preview, Spoilers, & LIVE Discussion

i'm looking forward to it, but dunno if i'm looking forward on paying 40 bucks for it. i was thinking this would be a no brainer to buy, but now i dunno.

Re: ***Official ECW One Night Stand 2 Preview, Spoilers, & LIVE Discussion

Last year, I was all about buying the event that day because I never thought I'd see anything ECW again.

This year...while I'm looking forward to the relaunch of ECW and don't mind the WWE PPV feel to ONS, I think I'll hold off to buy the PPV on DVD, like I do every other one.

Re: ***Official ECW One Night Stand 2 Preview, Spoilers, & LIVE Discussion

With the announcement of Orton, I'm starting to worry that I wasted my $$$ on attending ONS. Pretty upset right now, but I'm waiting and hoping that somehow the PPV turns out well.


I mean, the Angle open challenge had me pumped . . . only to see Randy freaking Orton accept it?? And not even at the PPV as a surprise, but on Raw, eliminating any real juice from his appearance??? LAME


Orton and Lawler better get squashed VERY quickly, and free up some time for some real wrestling action.

Im lookin forward to it more the most ppv's i've anticipated. Yes $40 doesnt sound to great but due to it wont cost me more then like $5 with splitting it up It should be fine.

Im actually happy Randy Orton is the one that Accepted Kurt Angle's Challenge, Im a big fan of Randy Orton
