The Wrestling-Observer Newsletter reports that at a recent production meeting, Vince McMahon blamed ECW’s struggle on the lack of humor featured on the weekly show.
McMahon’s desire for a more humorous ECW somewhat contributed to the recent placement of Brad Armstrong (in something of a tryout) at the commentary table. During the production meeting, Bruce Prichard put over Armstrong’s sense of humor, arguing that Armstrong would shine as a commentator because no one else on the show is funny.
Tazz reportedly viewed the move as a power play on WWE’s part to send the message that he could easily be replaced should he choose to turn down WWE’s contract offer.
Tazz, however, has been doing some tough negotiating of his own by playing up offers he received from radio stations.

Oh yeah, that's why ECW totally blew the last two weeks, not enough humor.  |

Smart plan, blame WWECW's faults on everything but the fact it is making a mockery out of the real ECW.

Taz should go to TNA and become the human suplex machine.

Either they are in some extreme denial, or they are the biggest bunch of idiots Ive ever heard of...

The Wrestling-Observer Newsletter reports that at a recent production meeting, Vince McMahon blamed ECW’s struggle on the lack of humor featured on the weekly show. oh so THATS the reason they gave Lashley time for a promo last week! Actually theres a ton of reasons why the show sucks right now. Since i was never a big ECW fan in the past, it doesnt bother me as much that theres seemingly no such thing as an extreme rules match anymore....granted thats a really dumb change. But for me personally, I have no desire to see guys like Lashley, Test, and Hardcore Holly as main eventers. I was surprised to watch the "best of" show last night and see that they left the "TNA" chants in from the D2D main event. |

No humor in ECW? Bobby Lashley: ECW Champion is rip roaringly hilarious!

Exactly. ECW would get all the humour it needs with them. |

Taz should go to TNA and become the human suplex machine. He can't. His neck has been bothering him since 2002. That's why he became a commentator. |

Also, there was humor in ECW. It just wasn't funny to Vince. And, if it ain't funny to Vince, then it ain't funny period.
I also concur that the bWo should be brought back and put in ECW.

Rene Dupree's boner is all the humor WWECW needs.

I believe that if they replaced ECW with a one hour recording of the booking meeting ratings would SKYROCKET.
