Even if he does somehow keep the US-belt Matt is still a midcarder and IMO he is a midcarder for life. Even though Punk wasn't booked well since MitB he still had that "future star" aura. That Matt will be a topdog on ECW says where that brand is. He is just another in the midcard-rotation that go to ECW to be the big fish in a small pond.

Big Show will most likely win the ECW title this Sunday and Chavo will most likely win the US title and go back to the Smackdown roster. But Chavo is on ECW, hence why he was on Team ECW. He'll be traded for Moore Wang or something, I dunno. Vickie wants to consolidate her power base, even if that power generated is less than the power of 2 AA batteries Even if he does somehow keep the US-belt Matt is still a midcarder and IMO he is a midcarder for life. Even though Punk wasn't booked well since MitB he still had that "future star" aura. That Matt will be a topdog on ECW says where that brand is. He is just another in the midcard-rotation that go to ECW to be the big fish in a small pond.  WHY DO YOU SAY THINGS YOU KNOW WILL HURT ME?   |

I'm pissed that Morrison is still stuck there. He's too good for that dump.

ECW has Kofi Kingston, Miz and Morrison, Shelton Benjamin, Evan Bourne, Chavo, Bam, Elijah Burke, and Matt Hardy. I'm still very interested in ECW.

It's not a real brand anyways. It's SmackDown-Lite.

ECW will be fine. Young and up and coming good medium sized workers that can focus on wrestling right through the show. Nout wrong with it. It isn't intended to be a main eventer show. Can you imagine how baffled the crowd would have been if someone like HBK got drafted to ECW? It would be an absolute waste of a main eventer.
It's funny, because ECW hasn't been treated as a main eventer show since Benoit died. I'm surprised people have only just realised it.
Shelton/Kofi/Matt/Bourne/Morrison/Miz/Chavo is a great little selection of wrestlers. ECW will be fine, and will be what it has been for ages now.

They should call ECW "The Future" and concentrate on putting ONLY youngsters on that show. They should not put any experienced WWE stars on there anymore and if someone does come over, like Kane, they should have the whole ECW roster team up on them and beat them down and kick them out. ECW should focus on the WWE young stars and should have drafted Cody Rhodes and DH Smith.

I think ECW will be fine. They got the best mid-card out of all the shows, throw in a good mid-card belt the US title, and i think it's going to showcase it's great up and coming talent. Actually looking forward to ECW.

I wonder why they changed the rule about the championship from last year. If you remember last year, Lashley was the ECW champ and he got drafted from ECW to Raw. They made him vacate the ECW title since Jonathan Coachman said that the ECW title could not be held by a Raw superstar. Apparently the exact opposite is true this year.
I agree that Show is most likely going to win the title at NOC anyway.

What I had thought/hoped would happen last night, Kofi Kingston (I never see ECW, so this was like my first time seeing him) was fabulous, and should have picked up a fluke win on JBL, and then JBL gets drafted to ECW.
This could have lead to JBL as the "ugly" rich guy who feels that he's stuck on a brand that is totally beneath him. He could beat up a few random ecw jobbers (Dreamer, Delaney etc.) for a bit then focus his rage on making Kofi suffer (Since JBL sees him as at fault for this). He's (JBL) also a natural contender for the ECW title anytime he wants it, and when they don't need him there he can just complain about how its so beneath him. Have him lose the odd match under ECW rules, and he'll whine that he ain't a thug, but a WRESTLER.

ECW made out fine last night. They basically swapped Matt for Punk and possibly Show for Kane (after Show beats Kane on Sunday). It's a show about young guys, and I'm still very interested in ECW. Especially Bourne/Kofi/Miz/Morisson/Burke etc.....
I did find it funny that Tazz was bitching the whole night about ECW not getting any picks.

Tired joke is Tired, needs sleep badly. Never really saw it as a joke, I still refer it to as that from time to time. Not in a insulting way, but just to say it's WWE's ECW, so to shorten it would be WWECW. |

If it wasn't for ECW, I'd probably have given up on wrestling by now.
1) It's only an hour.
2) I can watch it on the internet anytime I want.
3) It has fresh faces that can actually wrestle.
4) There's always good matches on it.
Why watch any other show? HHH as champ? Yeah, that's new and exciting. Batista the number one contender? That's something that hasn't happened before.
