Who will be the next man to face ECW World Champion Lashley for his gold? The choice is yours.

ECW fans can vote right now on ECW.com and cast their vote for either Test, Rob Van Dam or Sabu to battle the powerful champion on the Jan. 2 edition of ECW on Sci Fi. VOTE NOW and tune into ECW on Sci Fi tonight to find out the results.

ECW.com has also learned that tonight when ECW returns to its normal time, the same three men in the voting for a match against Lashley will collide in a Triple Threat Match. Will a win in this contest project one of these men towards an ECW World Title opportunity against Lashley? Will this affect the voting?

On last Saturday’s special edition of ECW on Sci Fi, Test displayed just how dominating he can be on his own as he defeated Van Dam. Will RVD seek retribution this week following his controversial loss? After being removed from the Extreme Elimination Chamber Match weeks ago, can the Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal, Death-Defying Maniac be looking to end the hot streak of the self-proclaimed Impact Player of ECW?

Last week, ECW fans saw a side of CM Punk that they had never seen before when he ignored the sound of the bell and proceeded to torture Hardcore Holly. Has he finished tormenting Hardcore Holly or is this only the beginning?

Find out the answers to all of these questions when ECW on Sci Fi returns to its regular time on Tuesday at 10/9 CT.

No one's watching? I think the online poll is kinda lame but this will show us whether or not the WWE curves the votes or not. If its Test they definately changed the vote because RVD would obviously win the fan vote, and it's definately not gonna be Sabu.

Since they announced ECW will now be a developmental show with a bunch of OVW guys coming in, I'm not watching anymore.

**** really? It was my favorite show too. I guess they have too though with all the rumors of guys leaving. Hopefully Monty will come to ECW.

I was tapping out on ECW after D2D, but positive spoilers on the next ECW on Sci Fi made me come back. Well, although that episode was decent, the last 2 episodes have been STOMACH-TURNING.

OK, officially tapping out, now . . . can't watch the antithesis of what ECW is being peddled as "ECW." It's offensive.

OMG Bobby Lashley has the worse microphone skills EVER. He will never last in the "big leagues" with those skills...he needs a manager and turn heel FAST.

I had not heard that had happened, Plus I think it would be great putting more and more younger guys on there.

That was one of my original demands!!! It's somewhere, someplace in the WWE forum.

These guys have to come up to the main roster sometime, why not throw them on "ECW"? They'd have a better shot of getting over on the show with the least star power anyway. And let's face the facts: ECW WAS a feeder league.

Lashley made me want to stop watching. He is so terrible on the mic and I hope we never hear him talk again.

I finally watched the last 2 weeks worth of ECW and boy has this show really started to tank. I can't believe how bad the show has turned out to be, why would Vince let his ego get in the way to send Paul Heyman home.

"The plan is for ECW to become something of a high level developmental territory, which was to be the original direction for the brand at first. Several Ohio Valley Wrestling talents (and presumably Deep South Wrestling talents as well) are expected to appear on ECW television soon. We don't have any specific names yet, but it should be known soon.

Joey Mercury was originally slated for ECW, but with Paul Heyman out of the picture, he was moved back to SmackDown. It was Heyman's idea to bring him back, and he wanted him in ECW.

In WWE's latest financial report, they credited the live gate of the ECW One Night Stand PPV from the Hammerstein Ballroom to the RAW/SmackDown figures and not the ECW figures."

they should rename it quickly to not further tarnish the ecw name

Tarnish the name of a promotion which went out of business almost six years ago with a whimper?

Do people even remember the last year of ECW? Life-long jobbers were main eventing PPVs!

I came to terms with this "ECW" a long time ago. It would never capture the feeling of the original. It couldn't, and that has nothing to with any McMahon, Helmsley, or Dunne. Vince owns it and he can do whatever he likes with the name. After all, it lasted as long as it did with his help.

I think its great and What could be bad about it...They'll leave guys like Holly, Lashley, RVD, Sandman and such to keep a few bigger Older guys on there but why not build stars on there.
