Re-book the first ECW show

[JMA]

While ECW has gotten much better (personally, I look forward to it more than any other wrestling show) that first show still seems to hang over its head. Therefore, I'm asking the people on the forum how THEY would've booked the show. Keep in mind that the storylines leading up to the first show still apply (i.e. RVD will re-christen the title, Edge is invited to the show, ect). I look forward to reading everyone's shows.

Here's my show:

1. KICKOFF: ECW One Night Stand Video Package…
· Notes: The SmackDown! props were shielded with a black curtain and Joey Styles & Tazz are the announcers…


2. IN THE RING: Paul Heyman and Rob Van Dam
· Paul Heyman officially awarded Rob Van Dam the ECW World Heavyweight title…
· Edge showed up and speared Rob Van Dam. John Cena showed up and got booed…

3. BACKSTAGE: Paul Heyman announced that all the ECW wrestlers would be at RAW next week looking for revenge...

4. MATCH: Sabu defeated DeVito…

5. MATCH: Kurt Angle defeated Danny Doring by ankle lock submission…

6. MATCH: The Big Show vs. Big Guido (w/Trinity, Little Guido, and Tony Mamaluke) ended in a no contest when both competitors fought to the back…

7. VIGNETTE: A “pulp fiction” style vignette played. The wrestlers featured are as follows: Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman, the F.B.I., Justin Credible, Kurt Angle, The Hardcore Chair-Swinging Freaks (Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten) and The Big Show…

8. MATCH: Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman defeated Justin Credible and Stevie Richards…
· Justin Credible and Stevie Richards came out together, with Credible having a new theme…
. The finish saw Stevie Richards getting pinned by Dreamer after delivering a DDT on a steel chair…
· The Sandman and Justin Credible caned the hell out of each other in this match…

END OF SHOW…

Notes: The main event for this show was special. In the following weeks, wrestlers such as RVD, Sabu, Angle, The Big Show, and (soon to re-debut in ECW) Chris Benoit will main event most shows.

interesting...

Cryme Tyme sits at ringside and works as many stereotypes in as possible while interfering in matches.

Also, a white ref at some point says "fo' sheezy" before being kicked in the face.

The Zombie was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in wrestling....yes the first show sucked, but he has to be booked even if rebooking occurs on the show in some capacity...

I've always wanted to see a Haitian zombie character--they're actually real.

It's long, but entertaining!

1st Seg:


R.V.D. is presented the belt by Paul Heyman, then is interrupted

by Sabu who viciously attacks R.V.D. and steals the belt and

walks off with it. Paul Heyman then declares tonight we will

have R.V.D. putting the strap (oops! Vince) on the line against

Sabu!!!!!!!!!


1st Match.

(Kurt Angle's music hits..................)

Kurt Angle gets to the ring awaits his opponent, Steven Richards!

Very competitve, back and forth match, then

Angle, just about to slap on the ankle lock, is attacked and put

in the Anaconda Vice by a hooded assailant revealed to be....

CM Punk. After finally letting Kurt out, Punk exits the ring, grabs

a mike: "Kurt, you're a 6 time world champ.......an olympic gold-

medalist.......but Kurt.....I'M STRAIGHT EDGE AND I'M BETTER

THAN YOU!......AND.....OH YEAH THE NAME'S C...M....PUNK!

*Kurt lies in the middle of the ring in pain, but pissed*


commercial


Tommy Dreamer then makes his way to the ring, talks about

being back, the ECW fans, then...........Justin Credible comes

out. Justin then goes into their old rivalry, says some messed

up stuff, Tommy then tries to calm him down, then Justin slaps

Tommy leading into match 3!!!!!!!


Tommy and Justin go all out, except for blood. Justin hits

Tommy with his own finisher and beats Dreamer.



Match 4

Tag Team action

F.B.I. vs. Roadkill and Danny Doring

F.B.I. wins after entertaining match


Test vigenette is aired for his debut next week


Match 5

Mike Knox vs. The Sandman

Huge pop for Sandman.

Sandman gets the easy win.

*backstage after the match Sandman is in the back killing an

8 pack, when Kelly takes one of the beers out of his hand and

pours it out, Sandman lookin' pissed grabs her, then Knox

attacks and leaves the Sandman layed out*


Match 6:

Balls comes out to a raucous pop with his "chair".

Awaits his opponent: "The Big Show"

Balls nails some pretty stiff shots, but Big Show wins with the

kroba clutch into the backbreaker.

Show then sets up a chair in the corner, and while having

Balls in the clutch, throws him into the chair!

*Paul Heyman is shown backstage talking on his cell backstage

when Francine barges in saying "she's the head cheerleader, blah

blah!" Then Paul berates her then says Jazz. Then Jazz lays

a vicious beatdown to Francine.


Match 7: The MAIN EVENT!


R.V.D. vs. Sabu-

Very back in forth match, mostly with R.V.D. in control, Sabu

regains control when RVD misses his frog splash, and just as

Sabu makes the cover. TIME EXPIRES!!!!!! An irate Sabu

then chair shots the ref. Paul Heyman then comes out and

tries to calm Sabu. Then Sabu, looking like he's gonna

finally calm down, then clocks Heyman then pulls out the

spike! RVD then makes the save and hits a Van Daminator

on Sabu who flees the ring. The final shot is RVD holding

the ECW title standing over a wounded Paul Heyman!

[JMA]

Interesting card. But would the show fit in the 45 minute time-frame?

[Blackholestar-Marzvon's daddy!]

don't let US book it, leave it up to vince russo. THE MAN'S A GENIUS!

that would be great if they had as much time as RAW

[JMA]

If ECW had two hours and was in front of ECW fans then all would be right with the world.

That brings up an interesting situation. If Sci-Fi gave ECW an extra hour than wouldn't they HAVE to have seperate tapings? After all, most WWE fans won't stick around for a four hour show.
