It's not ECW to me without New Jack. I wanna see some Bill Alfonso screwing over face RVD.

It's probably stands for Dreamer, Foley, Team 3D's and Raven's favorite olive oil too put on there copious amounts of food. If they'd get Rachael Ray involved in this angle; I might enjoy it.

1. I gotta say that I loved the original ECW. I also really liked the WWF in the late 80s. However, that does not mean I want to see Tito Santana and Greg Valentine hobbling around the ring.
2. I agree with whoever said that ECW wasn't about tables and fire and such. Yeah, it was about anti-establishment. But it was also about WRESTLING. It's like TNA thinks we need thumbtacks and glass to be entertained.
This is sad. It just is. These guys just can't get out. It's over. Let it go.

To keep the spirit of the original alive, they could have the garbage guys do their thing, and then have some high flying/talented TNA X-Divisioners put on some great action.
Fans of the original won't mind seeing great wrestling even if its not their guys doing it.

Remember when Dixie said last week on TNA PROGRAMMING that she didn't want the ppv to be affiliated with tna in any way, shape, or form?

That's what Hogan does though. It's like when AJ and Angle had that match on January 4th, and Hogan went out and gave thumbs up to it. It's not needed.
It also seems kind of weird that Mick Foley is being put in as a group, and not doing that much speaking. All of the EV2 guys are great talkers, and it would be nice to hear from them all. I do like that Raven is getting to separate from them, as I'm interested in the union between Abyss and Raven. I remember Raven cut this promo where he compared his relationship with Abyss to two old men sitting on the porch, or something like that. I need to find that promo.
One thing I hope they do with the Raven/Dreamer thing, is not just go off the past. They could talk about how Dreamer is bringing up something that died so many years ago, and Raven had already established himself as a TNA guy, and is a former TNA Champion, and Dreamer is just living off his past, where as Raven kept going, if you will. I'm also interested to see what Stevie is gonna do, though I don't know if it would be the best idea to put Stevie and Abyss together, though ever since the Hogan era, they kinda just completely forget everything that happened prior to Jan. 4.

That segment was missing Hollywood Nova, Him and Hogan in the ring at the same time would have been all kinds of awesome

It's like TNA thinks we need thumbtacks and glass to be entertained. It looks like the main event will be RVD vs Lynn though and you'd expect that to be mostly a straight up wrestling match. I don't know if any other matches will be the same as the main event because a lot of the guys that provided the great wrestling aren't here with us anymore (RIP) or aren't available but at least we've got that and the majority of matches on ECW PPV's did involve hardcore wrestling anyway.
