i'm sure he's not too worried about it. face it a lot of us would love to have Ariel give us a lapdance, me included fixed. When you put it that way, it kinda takes the edge off. But Joey, being a devout Christian and married, probably didn't see it that way. The stupid man.

On the promo - that's all it was a promo. It was supposed to get you guys thinking "OMGFXZ, best promo ever!!!" and then changing your pants six times. That was the intention, it wasn't real. If he really felt what he felt in the promo he wouldn't be working for the company right now. Come on guys its a job and he probably enjoys it, wrestling isn't real so it's doubtful if he even misses the old product its only the fans and those on the outside who actually think about that kind of crap anyway. are you on drugs? all the ecw originals hate the product, the fans hate the product, paul e. hated the product, tazz hates it.......and i'm pretty sure you can put joey in that catergory too. the whole magic behind the original ecw was partly because of how much everyone enjoyed and believed in the product, and how loyal they were to it. that's all gone now. you can hear it in joey's voice. he is just collecting his checks, and waiting to be let go or his contract runs out. i'll bet you joey wakes up everyday wishing it was 1997 again, or at least wishing he hadn't signed that damn contract.

I think he's disappointed in what WWECW has become but still happy to cash the checks. I watched the Best of 2006 ECW show last night, and Joey didn't strike me as choking back the tears. He even did the "Paul Heyman shouldn't have messed with Mr McMahon" kind of line that I think takes ECW even futher away from what it could have been. People who last in professional wrestling are usually pretty resilient about their professional disappointments.

People who last in professional wrestling are usually pretty resilient about their professional disappointments. That is true. At the very least, you can admire Joey not taking the easy route and cashing in his chips and calling it a day. But there also has to be a point, you can imagine, where being on the road all the time and putting him family's emotional well-being at risk for something he may not believe in anymore is going to get to him someday. But hey, everything's speculation from behind a keyboard.

I like being loyal to my favorites no matter what, but I never thought Joey Styles would be a shit announcer. It's really sad.

Having Ariel sit on your lap and start grinding away sounds good to me.
I like WWECW anyway, sure it doesn't touch Original ECW but it's still alright

fixed. When you put it that way, it kinda takes the edge off. But Joey, being a devout Christian and married, probably didn't see it that way. The stupid man. A devout Christian working for the original ECW all those years? How devout are we talking here, like he doesn't murder people cause it says not to in the Ten Commandments?

For future reference: "You want to apologize? Like nothing happened? Like you didn't just knock me on my ass in front of millions of people worldwide, and I'm gonna come down there and work with you? Well, I'm not coming back. And now, thanks to the magic of live television, I'm gonna show the whole world why -- for seven years in ECW -- I was the unscripted, uncensored, loose cannon of commentary. Six months ago WWE called me! I didn’t call this company because I was looking for a job. I didn’t need a job! WWE called me because they had humiliated and fired - again! - Jim Ross! So I get J.R’s spot, and from week one, week after week, I got an ongoing lecture about the differences in professional wrestling and sports entertainment. I’m not allowed to say pro wrestling, I’m not allowed to say wrestler! I have to say Sports Entertainment and refer to the wrestlers as Superstars. I’m told to deliberately ignore the moves and the holds during the matches so I can tell stories. Well, ignoring the moves and the holds is damn insulting to the athletes, the wrestlers, not the entertainers, who leave their families 300 days a year to apply their craft in that ring! There’s the best part: because I’m not a sports entertainment storyteller, I get pulled from WrestleMania, and the reason I’m given is, is because I don’t sound like Jim Ross, who’s the guy they fired in the first place. That makes sense right!? So I swallow the bitter pill, I’m a company guy. I get bumped from WrestleMania. Then I get bumped...from Backlash!? I’m not good enough to call BACKLASH!!! In ECW, I called live Pay Per Views on my own, solo, no color commentators dragging me down, wasn’t done before me, hasn’t been done since! But I’m not good enough to call Backlash, because I’m not a sports entertainment storyteller? Well, you know what? I am SICK of sports entertainment. I am sick of male cheerleaders. I am sick of boogers and bathroom humor and semen. And I am sick of our chairman, who likes to talk about his own semen, he mocks God - HE MOCKS GOD!!! - and makes out with the divas all to feed his own insatiable ego. I am sick of Sports Entertainment and most of all I’m sick of you fans who actually buy into this crap, this Sports Entertainment circus! I never needed this job, and I don’t want this job anymore. I QUIT!"

But Joey, being a devout Christian A devout Christian working for the original ECW all those years? How devout are we talking here, like he doesn't murder people cause it says not to in the Ten Commandments? I have to admit I never know how to take these "devout Christian" references. Wrestling is often vulgar, and as a churchgoer myself there are lots of things I would not do in wrestling. But I don't see most of wrestling as being somehow incompatible with being a churchgoer.

He's going to call wrestlemania.
His dream was to call big time matches for a big time company which ECW became.
he said the only way he would work for WWE was for an exhorbant and ludicrous amount of money.
