How can they mess up ECW?

[Gillberg: 0-175]

After the split, I think ECW has the most solid roster. Least filler, and most meat in the roster. But, like the initial excitment for the new ECW, how is Vince & Co. gonna mess it up?

[NIXON]

didnt they already do that by making ECW's first pick the Boogeyman?

[The Portable Stove]

Noble to ECW, it'll be damn near impossible.

Unless they make Boogeyman champion.

[SAJ Forth]

By Having Lashley come back and win for the second time in less then a month.

[Gillberg: 0-175]

Yeah, like Boogeyman is going to get anywhere in ECW...

[MGH]

Honestly, there is only one way I can see them messing it up. And that is Wednesday.

They have their core main event still in tact after the initial draft. As long as Benoit, Burke, Punk, Cor Von, and Thorn are all still there after Wednesday, this will be a fun time on Tuesdays.

(btw, bring over Nitro or Nobel in the draft Wednesday please!)

I am more or less COUNTING on WWE to mess this up. Putting Benoit on the roster is a last ditch effort to get people to watch or care, and for Benoit it's a great move since he doesn't have to change his travel schedule one bit, he's still working every Tuesday. The problem is Benoit can't singlehandedly get that roster over no matter how much of a suplex machine he is, and any babyface on that roster will come off like a heel if paired off with him on television. By Wednesday it will all unravel anyway as Cor Von, Burke and Punk all get drafted to different shows.

How to make ECW succeed

1 - Don't ever let Boogeyman wrestle, just have him f*** with Extreme Expose then dissapear
2 - Fire the Major Jobbers cause no one cares, bring over WGTT instead, start a tag divison
3 - Benoit as World Champ after winning a tournament
4 - No more Lashley EVER

I have an idea for ECW.

60 minute Punk/Benoit broadway.

[Mr. Mediocre]

Even better would be Punk/Benoit/Burke triple threat iron man.

EDIT: Actually, that may be a bad idea. The internet may explode from all the awesomeness sharing one ring for that long.

[Old School Heel mark4Morishima]

Too much Chris Benoit.

Seriously, how many suplexes can they fit on one show?

[Cypress]

there is never enough Benoit

[WinOwensWin]

Honestly, ECW has the best roster right now. Punk, Benoit, Burke, Corvon, Thorne, Dreamer....I just hope that it stays intact after tomorrow afternoon.

I'd rather see Burke/Punk/Benoit than have the internet, so it is a good idea.

But then how will we be able to publicly bitch about John Cena? THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES.

[KLRA]

We would do it the old fashioned way.

Usenet.

[Edison taps to the ARMBAR!]

I'm trying to come up with a way to mess up ECW, but the only thing I can think of is by making Boogey a champ, then shipping Burke to RAW and Punk to SD. Then they will import jobbers like Val Venis who will do nothing and ECW will end up being an hour of mid carders, with a Benoit match every now and again (once a month, non title)

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

When Zombie Vince shuffles in and takes his ECW titleback.
