Todd Gordon Comments on ECW Revival

[CaptainZombie]

From the Desk of Tod Gordon:

I have received hundreds of calls and e-mails regarding what the WWE's version of ECW looked like to me last night. Actually, nothing about the show was surprising to me in any way. It was what it was; a third brand extension of a stale wrestling product. If Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer have to worry about serving all of these masters from WWE creative (you know who I mean) to the Sci-Fi network, then any fan must realize you're not going to get authentic crowd reactions, let alone chants on basic cable. I assume that rather than dub over the crowd's vulgarity, it was easier to just feed them a crappy show so they could never get truly riled up. Enjoy it for what it is, but don't fool yourselves into thinking that it really IS possible to catch lightning in a bottle twice, because that is not the case.

yep I saw that as well... not really surprised, that's pretty much the basic feeling around the entire wrestling world I do believe.

I read that VKM wasn't happy either from WrestleZone. How true, we don't know? If he still has a brain in that head, he would know how bad this show was Tuesday.

"A number of people in WWE have realized that the first show was a disappointment, despite the excellent rating. They have realized that rating wasn't drawn off of the show however more to that people wanted to see the debut of the third brand.

Sources close to the ECW situation have said that even Vince McMahon realized the show stunk, however he didn't really sell it to anyone. A lot of pressure is on WWE now to make the second show better. The word is that they will have the audience again who will be giving it a second chance before tuning out for good."

Maybe the WWE will settle his lawsuit by giving him a job as Paul E.'s lackey.

HAHA!! Seriously though...Todd is god!

Just playing. I read this a few days ago and thought that he hit the nail on the head. I'll be enjoying it for what it is...Kurt Angle squashing all the old ECW workers. Sorry, I've been in smart *** mode all night.
