Tommorow marks 10 years since the ORIGINAL pipebomb on RAW.
I remember being glued to my TV and marking out. I liked the guy a lot but the fire during this promo was so intense and everything he was saying was true. As much as I missed JR I really wanted Joey to stick around especially after this.
Some great lines:
"6 Months ago this company called me, they called me! I didn't need a job.!!
"I'm a sick of sports entertainment, I am sick of male cheerleaders, I'm sick of boogers, and bathroom humor and semen!"
"He mocks GOD...HE MOCKS GOD!!"
One of the best worked shoots in this business.

You could argue he was beaten to the pipebomb thing by Heyman during the Invasion. Granted, Heyman's was a bit rich considering it's not a well kept secret that Vince helped ECW quite a bit, financially, and the lights would have been off long before the company collapsed, otherwise, but still.
I've never really been a huge Styles fan, but he certainly did a good job of this.

It was a majestic promo that led to absolutely nothing, am I right?

It was a majestic promo that led to absolutely nothing, am I right? He had a similar attitude as that promo when ECW relaunched, but after a few weeks he went back to the regular play-by-play announcer. |

You forgot "I'm not good enough to call BACKLASH??" As if Backlash was the worst piece of shit ever.

I love the promo and almost everything Joey has done. He was a little cheesy at times in ECW but still better than the current team by a million miles. But I guess he's happy running the web site so good for him.

Hated this promo. Can't stand pretentious shoots like these.

Honestly, I don't think Joey Styles was good enough for Backlash, and his self-righteous, pious attitude rings hollow considering all the messed up shit ECW did.

But I guess he's happy running the web site so good for him. Agreed. I'd love it if he took a spot back on commentary, but I'd be much happier in the spot he's in too. I hear Vince is pretty "hands-off" with the website in contrast to the other company stuff and pretty much trusts Joey to run it properly. |

The follow-up at One Night Stand when he said "HE'S A SUPERSTAR!" at Randy Orton's golden shower pyro was the best. You could hear the eyeroll.

Joey Styles to me was always very overrated by people, and really a symptom of the rose color glasses ECW fans wear. However, I will say I do walk around and say "Backlash?!" once in a while.

You mean the AOL chat rooms? Sure, send Joey for that. |

OHHH HELL NAH HE DINT!!!!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHYYYYYYT!!!!
Well that was my reaction anyway. I was mad little n didn't know if that was legit or not and was shocked. I always liked Joey Styles because growing up in Philly we had ECW on local access TV w/ all kinds of sketchy sex hotline commercials, music videos for Static X, K-Ci & Jo Jo, etc., so I was a lil stunned to see Styles freak like that. I guess it makes sense looking back but in a equal way it doesn't.

Just for a laugh, they should let him call Backlash.
