Mike Adamle update

[Steveweiser]

Not much, but...

STAMFORD, Conn. – WWE.com was finally able to reach Mike Adamle today; however, the lead ECW commentator refused to discuss his decision to walk off the job during Tuesday night’s broadcast of ECW on Sci Fi.

Speculation remains rampant in the locker room as well as in WWE offices and at WWE.com headquarters. Some believe Adamle is quitting the company. Others say it’s simply a ploy to make more money.

The most popular belief is that his walk-out was a result of the hostile environment at WWE events. Superstars have not been shy about teasing the commentator about his on-air gaffes. Also, perhaps worst of all, Adamle has been greeted by shouts of “Please quit,” “You suck,” and even “Drop Dead!” from our fans in the rows closest to the announcers’ table.

Any one or a combination of all of these factors could contribute to the unprecedented event our viewers saw take place on Tuesday night. What exactly is the situation now? Is ECW missing a play-by-play commentator? It appears we will only get answers if Adamle returns for the next ECW on Sci Fi, Tuesday at 10/9 CT.

Perhaps The Floating head of henry winkler i pray to has finally awnsered my prayers.

So... is this all supposed to lead to a Mike Adamle heel turn? What about Tazz? Why'd he leave?

[Threadkiller [Classic]]

I don't think I can articulate how much I hate angles that involve the announcers.

I have to give Paul Heyman credit. He called this the first week, that WWE intentionally put Adamale behind the table because they knew he'd suck, and it would get ECW more publicity, and thus better ratings.

But I don't think even he foresaw WWE turning it into a storyline.

I saw Adamle on Challenge TV earlier on an international version of Gladiators.

He even sucked then, too.

[Mister Pigwell]

Heh nifty.

I actually thought Adamle did a good job with Gladiators. I loved when he would do some of the challenges himself.

[Tushingham Rimswell]

Please! I'm praying to Moppy here, PLEASE!!! Make "Adamally" stay!

[anticonscience]

So he has a problem with fans yelling that he sucks and calling for him to die?

I guess this week we will see the birth of "The Adamle" as he joins the Nation of Domination

Don't forget to throw in every black WWE wrestler just cause they're black. Just thought I'd give everyone their NOD reformation post of the day.

If he comes out with a black t-shirt with a giant "A" on his chest, I will mark so, so hard.

[Pgarodactyl]

That doesn't update anything at all!

[Marvelously Mediocre]

ECW starts with Tazz at the announce table alone. in the middle of the show Adamle enters and rants about not being paid enough and that he's had too much abuse. Joey Styles comes down to the ring, knocks Adamle out with a punch and joins Tazz at the table

[BIG DUNC]

I can't believe people think this isn't kayfabe.

William regal actually turned off the TV feed too ya know.

[Batman]

Mike Adamle update: he still sucks.

[Bo Rida]

Maybe it was a plan to get rid of Tazz and we'll have Adamle and a drunken Santino in future.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

I hope Adamle comes out in a Giants jersey to open the show, and cuts the following promo:

"From day one, that I have been in the WEDF... I mean ECW... I have done nothing but deal with the bull<bleep> politics from behind that curtain. Last week, Hank Hogan plays his creative control card. That means that even though he knows it's bull<bleep>, he pins The Jarrett and wins the WWCW title. Well I promise you will never see that big bald son of a <bleep> again!"

[Kevin Hamilton]

Such a stupid idea all the way around. I second the disdain for announcer storylines.
