Wow. I guess they're really thinking about offering Henry an extension with the way he's been booked since his big return to Smackdown. Has no business whatsoever going over the champ. Rey could've believably gone over Henry. He almost did a couple of months ago. With JBL getting the title soon, Rey's gonna come out of this looking like and even bigger b*tch. Whatthef*ckever.

As long as we only have to deal with him for a couple of months, i see no reason to complain.

I'll be at 5/12. As long as Abyss & Danielson vs. Joe/Christian headlines the show, i'll be happy.

The fact that the WWE received the most votes is depressing.

For me, RoH. Has the booking been perfect as of late? No. Are they currently in irons in terms of overall direction? Yes.

However, the in-ring product is still as great as ever. Their Champion's (and my personal favorite worker going today) title reign thus far is among the best reigns ever on American soil. Way better than Joe's, at this point. Their tag team division is very solid, with all teams interacting perfectly with one another. With BJ Whitmer finally starting to blossom after being as bland as flavorless jello for all these years, Matt Sydal getting better each day, Jimmy Rave becoming more than just solid in the ring, the prospect of a Colt Cabana world title run, the impending destruction of TNA, and Davey Richards set to debut, things will only get better from here.

I dont know how this couldnt be a good idea. I loved ECW but i don't know how the WWE could water it down. ECW was great wrestling with more blood and hardcore action than the WWE. If you saw the Edge/Mick Foley match at WM22 you should have been reminded of what ECW was all about. It was great hardcore wrestling not garbage(CZW, XPW). So if the WWE let Edge and Mick Foley do it at WM then why not let the ECW guys do it everyweek?

Some of you seem to forget the best matches didnt just involve someone going through a flaming table and thumbtacks and bein opened to bleed all over the ring but it they had great technical wrestling. Ex: RVD vs Jerry Lynn, RVD vs Sabu, Shane Douglas vs Chris Jericho vs 2 cold Scorpio vs Pitbull #2, Rey Misterio Jr. vs Psicosis, Taz vs Shane Douglas, Tajiri vs Little Guido vs Super Crazy, Sabu vs 2 Cold Scorpio. Yeah i know some of these matches had chair shots and tables but the it was the wrestling that made these matches great.

As long as the WWE allows Big Guys to take dives(Ex. MIke Awesome, WWE and WCW wouldnt let him wrestle like he did in ECW so everyone saw him as a joke), and anybody win the World Championship as long as theyre a good wrestler and not because theyre big(Ex. Taz, Sabu, Masato Tanaka, Steve Corino, Jerry Lynn, Justin Credible, and Tommy Dreamer)ECW should be fine

Check out the blowoff match of the Raven/Dreamer feud, the Raven/Sandman barbedwire match, or Sabu/RVD @ Wrestlepalooza 98 and tell me those are not garbage matches. None of those matches are downright horrible, but there's no real story or structure to them, just random brawling/chairshots, etc. The difference between a garbage match and a hardcore match is that hardcore matches have SOME semblance of structure. For every good brawl or straight up wrestling match in ECW, you had 3 more mindless clusterf*cks.

To me, the true essence of ECW was living in that moment. It was a revolution. Once that moment and revolution ended, so did ECW. That's why i think an annual show is perfect, since ironically, the concept does exactly what Paul E. always set out to do - hide the weaknesses. Having a full-time ECW brand will crap all over everything ECW ever stood for, simply by exposing weaknesses.

I agree with everyone else. ECW is dead. Let it rest. Don't tarnish its legacy with some half-assed, watered down attempt at a revival.

ECW simply wouldn't hold up. Seriously, considering how badly Sandman, Mahoney, Dreamer, and all the other garbagey wrestlers have always sucked, one can only imagine how awful they'll be nearly 10 years later. The ECW product was always overrated. The overall concept, heart, cult, and ethos is what made ECW. Without it, ECW is merely a lightbulb without light.

Is it just me or is RVD starting to get boring. I know I'm gonna get bashed bad, but really I just don't find him as entertaining. But you guys most likely have seen him in ECW, well I never watched ECW because back then I was a WWF mark. To me it seems like the only matches I like seeing him in is ladder matches. Now Angle vs. RVD in a ladder match I'd pay to see.

Oh, trust me, it ain't just you, my friend.

That match would suck anyway. Angle's health will only get worse with time and the match would expose RVD's weaknesses.

TNA could restart the nWo.Kotenks

Done before. That is, if you consider Jeff Jarret, Nash, and Scott Hall as a legit NWO.

Wow. TNA has a real knack for taking it one step lower just when you think they've reached the absolute nadir.

First the announcement of ICP coming this Summer, then Scott Steiner, then Kevin Nash taking an interest in the booking side of things, THEN Goldberg, and now Buff Bagwell.

Seriously, is there any hope for this company?

I'm probably all alone on this one, but Haas kind of reminds me of Aries. Especially now, with his new look and the way he carries himself. Somewhat similar wrestling style, too. I never understood why Haas never worked any RoH dates during his time away from the WWE. He would've fit right in.
