ECW has the most wrestling time of any of the shows, and the matches can be quite good.
Some episodes of ECW suck, but hell.....MOST episodes of RAW and SD suck, so hey. =P

Yeah Mark Henry is awesome as is Evan Bourne.... for some reason this Jack Swagger kid seems like he has a big upside. But besides for them I think that Matt Hardy, Ricky Ortiz, Finlay, Hornswaggle, Bam Neely are all crap. ECW was actually good before the draft came and neutered them.

I'm enjoying it. Yeah, Matt and Finaly can't promo worth a damn, but I don't watch for promos. The quality of the wrestling is well above Raw's, and at least on-par with SD's.

Kofi was a big loss, along with a couple others, but yeah, Swagger seems to be good, as far as new guys to the scene. Personally, I like Matt Hardy, and am glad for his push, but he could use a steady feud. Ortiz blows, Finlay and Hornswoggle are more or less comedy, and Bam Neely does nothing of note. Hopefully, the drafts post Wrestlemania will put some wind back in the sails.

yeah, ECW doesn't have that many good talkers. that being said, if you want to see an hour of solid wrestling, ECW's pretty awesome. it's not to everyone's tastes, but i enjoy it.

I usually like watching ECW. Besides, it's not like the original didn't have terrible promos. I remember tuning in to one of their last TNN shows and nearly passing out.

How can it not be cheesy? Matt Hardy is the champ. He looks like the poor mans Bret Hart, is bo-legged, and wears friggin parachute pants. And then you have the neutered Finlay, who dances around with a midget who is now his son. How can this not suck? YEah I preferred heel finlay who used Hornswoggle as a weapon and was a ruthless ass kicker. His feud with Knox was awesome because of that. The matches should be solid, but if this were Finlay 2 years ago i'd be more interested Also I REALLY want Mark Henry to win the title back already. I was liking his run as dominant champ and was sad to see him lose it so quick

I can deal without seeing barbed wire and tables on every show. I can deal with WWE safe style on ECW. I can even deal with them changing the title. But what I can't stand is the fact that they're making ECW look like a development camp for Raw and Smackdown. It just puts everybody on the ECW roster below the rest of the WWE, and tarnishes a great chapter in wrestling history. ironic because ecw at its peak was a developement camp for wwe and (to a lesser extent) wcw but yeah hardy and finlay are terrible on the mic

ECW contracted most of their wrestlers, and sometimes did talent trades with WWF. The fact that so many ECW guys made to the big companies was just natural progression. It was still a big deal when you saw these guys on Nitro or Raw. It's not uncommon to see ECW wrestlers on Raw or Smackdown. It's not uncommon to see Raw or Smackdown guys on ECW. As a matter of fact, the brands are basically interchangeable at this point. The original ECW atleast had some sort of identity. That's all I'm asking for from WWECW. Make me feel like I'm watching a seperate promotion altogether, rather than the Smackdown dark matches.

Yea, Elijah Burke coming back to ECW would help a lot. He'd be pretty much the only heel on ECW that's also really good in the ring.

The roster is just too damn small, same guys fighting every week except for jobbers being fed to the newbs. Matt Hardy just bores me, that he is champ is damning evidence of how the brand has fallen. Hell even Chavo was better as champ.
I'm tired of Hardy, Finley and Henry every freaking week.
I do like Swagger. The lisp is distracting but he still has a lot of potential.
I want to see the return of a nonjobber Elijah Burke, build him up right.
I'd like to see the belt back on Morrison, but I think he's done with ECW once the team breaks-up. I'd even take Miz over Hardy.

I read the spoilers. End the damned thing already. It's an abomination of a once great promotion. **All opinions expressed are those Avalanche Alvarez and his subsidiaries. Those opinions are not welcomed or encouraged by Wrestlecrap.com or their fellow Crappers and their subsidiaries.**
