I was super stoked about it, but I was at... I wanna say the second or third episode, and during the main event of RVD vs Kurt Angle, the crowd was chanting “WE WANT CENA!”
So I knew it wasn’t going to end up being what we all hoped it would be.

I was very skeptical before the first show, after it I kind of realized what to expect and it wasn't bad for what it was but it definitely wasn't what the name they were using once was. It was a solid C show though like Heat and Velocity before it.

Thread title made me picture The Revival in the original ECW. NO FLAMING TABLES, JUST FISTS

Wwecw was great. The first couple ons were great a a finale so to speak for og ewc. Once they had a tv deal it was a Vince project and what it’s worth the best thing they did until nxt in current form.

Ric Flair and thumbtacks are my prevailing memory.

It was shit. I didn't even like the original ECW but to bring the name back as a brand when it beared no resemblance at all to ECW was utter bollocks. This is how I felt. I was no ECW fan and I knew they couldn't rely on ECW guys from the 90's forever but after promising the return of ECW and then within a few weeks getting rid of the no DQ rule and bringing in WWE names like Big Show, Angle and Lashly it was always going to be a let down. It was terrible. It became something good in later years but should never have had the ECW name.

I really enjoyed the first two One Night Stand shows so I was excited about it until I saw the first episode. Then I knew it wasn’t going to be the same quality so it was doomed. There isn’t much that’s memorable from those shows other than stuff like Kelly Kelly dancing or Batista getting booed out of the building and throwing a fit.

I really didn’t care for the second One Night Stand so I wasn’t very stoked. I watched an episode here and there but not many at all

TBH my fav part was ARIEL yummy Its amazing what a flash in the pan she and Kevin Thorn were. The two of them had great chemistry and played their characters to the hilt, but I guess the environment of WWE at the time just wasn’t fit for their characters to last long.

In fairness, they also were both shitty wrestlers or boring at best. Ariel at that point was a decade less experienced than she would be in her recent worst match of all time contender, and Thorne's character basically disappeared the second he started wrestling.

Loved the first One Night Stand (and Hardcore Homecoming too). Still get a kick out of the crowd's reaction to John Cena at the second ONS, but in hindsight, that was a clear sign that treating it like Raw and Smackdown was doomed to failure.
It will always be ironic to me that Triple H gets heralded for NXT when he basically ripped off Shane McMahon and Tommy Dreamer's original idea of an ECW reboot under the WWE umbrella - an internet-only show that tours smaller venues, has occasional PPVs (or network specials now), and gives talent a place to learn or rehab before getting called up.

It was The Ramones at CBGB. What WWE tried to give you was Good Charlotte on TRL. I LOVE this analogy. It's perfect.

Platinum Phoenix was a great title.
