If I were an indy wrestler I'd be blackballed so fast for beating ass on these asshole promoters that just screw the talent/fans every chance that they get.

Well looks like I got to see live Luke's only defense of the ER title. It was a co-promoted show between Powerslam Productions and Ted Dibase Jr's Wrestling Outreach group. Luke faced The Outlaw Matt Lancie in a good match.

Welp. So much for this. See you all in six months when someone tries again.

On the bright side, at least other companies can wrestle in the ECW/2300 Arena now.

I will give them credit for bringing in some Mexican talent that hadn't been seen yet in the US. But the company has been horribly mismanaged.

I liked EW mainly because it was one of the few places to watch Facade. Hope he can get some exposure elsewhere.
As far as EW, you can only screw over your fans so many times. Steve seems like a total prick.
At least the arena is available for anyone who wants to use it.

Finally.
The sad part is another promotion will rise up to bang the shit out the corpse of ECW in a few months.

I guess you COULD make a case that that is House of Hardcore (though Tommy only used that name cause he owns the rights and wants to reopen the school) but Tommy seems to have a better idea for running a company than Steve and Shane do. Maybe the Extreme Rising should have listened to the Deej when he said running a show at the Arena right now was a bad idea

The company was mismanaged as hell and wanted to be the next ECW so bad. That was their downfall. Nostalgia has a short shelf life. The cool kids are middle aged and trying to cling to the past like Al Bundy. After a while even the most hardcore of hardcore ECW fans don't want to see Blue Meanie dancing or Balls Mahoney struggling to survive another hardcore match.

I've always felt that these ECW rehash promotions only get any publicity because Mike Johnson can't let go of his eternal ECW fetish and always gives any promotion he can some facetime if it reminds him of ECW.
The guy does great news reporting, but the ECW fetish is really, really, really, really tired.

Wow yeah, this is some crazy stuff going on. But like others have said.... I just can't get Sabu saying "LoL" out of my head.

I don't like seeing talent lose work but hopefully that's the end of that crap.

And the OMEGA Boyz jump on the "f*** Extreme Rising, Come see us" bandwagon: That is from Matt Hardy's Facebook page. This show, if I remember right, will be headlined by the Hardy Boyz against the Briscoe Brothers.
