    FU Taz(z) for consistently KILLING the modern day fan's expectations.

    You think Tazz actually thinks that's a great match? I have a hard time believe he hasn't had VKM in his ear constantly telling him and Styles to put these lackluster matches over. I'll give Tazz and Styles a little more credit than that.

    If he wants to keep his job, he's gotta butt kiss. He's knows the bland Armstrong brother (then again, they're almost all bland) is waiting in the wings.

      I know that he is probably fed the line, but boo to him for not finding something better to do to support his family. It must be humiliating.

      Now as for Joey - he totally has other options outside of wrestling. No clue why he is sticking with it!

        I'm sure his other options weren't in the 6 figures he might be getting. I'd sell my soul to VKM for that money.

          I guess it's easy for me to say, but I heard that Joey was very successful in the NYC advertising industry, which probably paid him well.

          I don't know, I just thought that pride over the original ECW meant something . . . I know it certainly still does for yours truly.

            But Styles has said on Numerous Occasions that he loves the Wrestling Buisness...He might not like the current product, or the DIrection its going, but he gets paid very well to do something he loves..Sometimes doing something U love is more important than your own personal opinions..I know for a fact if I had the opportuntity to work for the E..I would jmp at the chance, no matter what they made me do..I would do whatever is asked of me...Sometimes wrestling is just in your blood, nothin you cna do to change that

              Hell, I still love the old ECW (thank God I'm getting all their shows on tape and whatnot. Just up to the point of changing the name to Extreme...but anyway).

              Joey's always said wrestling was his first love. I mean, that's why he took the Raw job to being with. He said he always wanted to commentate wrestling and while he may not be happy with ECW, he's getting to do what he loves and I think he's probably happy with the job.

                Unless I was being paid far more than I could make anywhere else, I don't think I'd work for WWE because I would know that, whatever I did, my creative hands would eventually be tied behind my back. Plus, I could not respect the people in charge, who make some awful decisions.

                  There's your answer. That's why people work for Vince. You have to remember, this is a business and wrestlers wrestle for money. That's why RVD, Lance Storm, Sabu, Taz, Shane Douglas, Sandman, etc. all left ECW at one time or another.

                    just for giggles I choose to watch WWEECW mainly just to check out Monty Brown aka Marquis Cor Von...wow the WWE sure does know how to pick names don't they? WWE wanted Monty Brown to heel up his knee injury, but to bad it still didn't help his in ring ability...he still sucked just like he did in TNA and his promo was whack.

                    Why was the crowd, so dead especially in the Punk Vs Striker match...there was some pops but other than that it was kind of a silent match from the fans. CM Punk minus the tattoos looks similar to a younger version of Steve Corino. Burke Vs Sandman was the absolute worst match of the night by far...I felt bad for Burke.

                    Got give props though to Test, he actually seems like he has improved some what and is taking advantage of ECW's lack of stars. His top rope Elbow drop was nice. Tazz and Styles looked bored the whole night.

                      I had a weird dream that I was talking to Vince and I offered to work for WWE Creative... he made up some bogus excuse not to take me! I've been having crazy dreams recently, but this one was the worst!

                        Except for when Kelly jumped on the apron and distratced Striker. Taz threw his arms up and nearly jumped out his seat. I thought that was kinda funny.

                            Not a bad ECW. Disappointed in the CM Punk/Stryker match but as always Kelly is hot.

                            Also disappointed RVD didn't score the win.
