If you're a fan of the old ECW or what the new one had the potential to be, please, feel free to weep openly. We won't think any less of ou.

Chris Masters to ECW?
David Lagana, the head writer for ECW, is pushing for Chris Masters to be moved to the brand. With ECW’s recent roster cuts Lagana is looking for more draws.

Masters seems to be doomed on RAW for a number of reasons, especially considering that a 145-pound man broke the Masterlock at the "Tribute to the Troops" show after nearly two years of it being Masters' gimmick. He's currently the "geek of the week" on the RAW brand as Triple H and Edge are constantly burying him to writer Brian Gewirtz and the McMahons. Furthermore, the stuff you occasionally see on TV in which he is made fun of (such as Triple H insulting him for losing 50 pounds), the same stuff happens backstage as well. There is a belief that he has potential and that he would be a better fit in the ECW locker room because he's a young guy and it's a young guy locker room. Futhermore, there wouldn't be any big stars there to rib him.

Snitsky to ECW?
Writer Dave Lagana wants Gene Snitsky to be moved over from RAW to ECW. In recent producer meetings, Arn Anderson and Finlay have been pushing for Snitsky to get a bigger role in the company. However, the problem is that it would make ECW look more and more like a place for RAW and SmackDown rejects. Snitsky has appeared sparingly on RAW since Goldust's release back in June.

The Cure for ECW's Woes? Laughter
At a production meeting, Vince McMahon said that the reason ECW was failing was because there was no humor on the show. Bruce "Brother Love" Prichard then started talking about how funny Brad Armstrong is. From all accounts, Brad is indeed funny behind-the-scenes, but unlike his brother (BG James), he's never really been able to translate that in front of the camera. Prichard said that Armstrong would shine in the spot because no one else on the show is funny. Tazz saw this as a powerplay and what you saw in him trying to cut him off was the end result.

The Die Hard ECW Fan of 2006?
The ECW fans have spoken and the 2006 ECW Die Hards of the Year are the two pretty girls from Jacksonville, Fla. that idolize Kelly Kelly; Melanie Halton and Angie Grose. Click here for the official announcement.

CM Punk Censored & D2D DVD?
The ECW December to Dismember DVD cover does not show C.M. Punk’s cobra tattoo. This is due to it being a Hasbro trademark. The cover also lists Sabu in the Elimination Chamber match instead of Bob Holly.

Tazz's Days Numbered?
For whatever it's worth, internally, the betting line is that Tazz will be gone when his contract expires in March. Although, they may still reach a deal. Tazz has been on some New York radio shows, so it appears he's at least using that for leverage, or looking at that as a new job. Tazz was looking for a raise to stay and since his importance has dropped being on ECW (and with JBL doing such a good job on SmackDown that if ECW was dropped, Tazz likely wouldn't get his spot back), he hasn't been offered a raise.


I know, I know, it hurts me to post all this, but hey, it's the news :P

I couldn't really care, I gave up on ECW after they chucked the Extreme Rule part of it out the window. It hasn't been the same since then.

Oh god NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *Jumps in front of bullet*, lets give them a chance, there is a topic on Gamefaqs where you can sponsor ECW. Though to be honest, I feel that it is like a truck, with Steph and Kevin chucking everything original ECW out the back, and Tatanka having a tear in his eye

Oh the possibilities that come with the additions of Snitsky and Masters to ECW. Imagine the next PPV? Snitsky vs Lashley vs Masters for the ECW title in an Extreme Rules Master Lock Challenge. Man, that'd sell PPVs. Sell TNA PPVs, but still, it's selling something at least.

Why the hell did you jump in front of me? I wake up, eat breakfast, and suddenly I see you jumping in front of me. As for the news, I hate that they want to move the two. Let them rot on Raw...they deserve it.

I think these are just some more signs that ECW will go into the books as a good idea that should not have been brought back.  They have just fallen into the same rut that RAW and Smackdown have fallen into.  The only difference is that no one really cares about ECW anymore.

And so the answer is Chris Masters?  What world does this guy live in.

Writer Dave Lagana wants Gene Snitsky to be moved over from RAW to ECW. In recent producer meetings, Arn Anderson and Finlay have been pushing for Snitsky to get a bigger role in the company. However, the problem is that it would make ECW look more and more like a place for RAW and SmackDown rejects. Snitsky has appeared sparingly on RAW since Goldust's release back in June.AcolyteV1
  Not nearly as against this as I might should.  I've always had a soft spot for Snitsky and if he's got Double A and Finlay backing him...

As for the rest:

It's a G.I. Joe symbol and thus copyright of another company. WWE is simply trying to avoid legal issues by removing it from the cover. You'll notice that no Tazz merchandise ever his the Tasmanian Devil tattoo on it for the same reason.

i think snitsky would fit in just fine, and really guys, he not that bad of a wrestler considering his size. i have no problem with him on ECW as long as he DOESNT win the ECW title, snitsky has no crediblity as a champion of anysort, ECW needs a TV and maybe tag titles to build up the mid card.

Chris Masters is a joke, and his career is ruined. Go home masters.

Snitsky and Masters = Draws :|, The authority in WWE are on the shrooms again, like when they hired The great Khali.

Vince needs to realise, that a crappy 1 hour show needs a gimmick to make people want to watch it, and now that the matches arent extreme rules, we are treated to "Technical" matches between the likes of Bob Holly, Balls mahoney and Khali . The extreme rules was there to DRAW and to cover up the crappy wrestling skills of most of the roster. who is gonna watch a show with a roster that they mostly dont give a rats ass about? exactly, but everyone likes a good hardcore match, and that is one roster (except Khali naturally) that can deliver them.

im betting ECW wont last another year.

ECW is doomed as long as its a part of the WWE, it needs to be a completely separate company.
