That is the answer to the following questions:
Why did Test/Lashley suck?
Why no Styles on commentary during the Rumble match?
Why wasn't Marquis de Monty Cor Von Brown part of the event?
Why didn't Ariel go to the ring with Thorn?
Why couldn't Sabu and Dreamer stay in a little longer?
Why did Punk and RVD get tossed by Khali so easily?
Where was Stevie Richards?
In case anyone had any doubts or something....

It's sad, because ECW has so much potential. I honestly think it does. But if they keep booking ECW title matches like they did last night, nobody is gonna want to watch it. Hardly anyone cares about ECW as it is.

I don't think Vince is trying to purposefully destroy the ECW name. I just think he's doing what he always does with a new toy. He plays with it, makes it his own, then gets bored and leaves it for his dogs to destroy.

Why did Test/Lashley suck? Because they aren't supposed to main event status... Why no Styles on commentary during the Rumble match? Because the guys who did it are better and had more of their brand's superstars in the event Why wasn't Marquis de Monty Cor Von Brown part of the event? Because he debuted 2 weeks ago Why didn't Ariel go to the ring with Thorn? Because in most cases, the manager just goes to back once the wrestler runs to the ring, and she had already appeared (I believe) backstage Why couldn't Sabu and Dreamer stay in a little longer? Didn't play it safe Why did Punk and RVD get tossed by Khali so easily? Because Khali is bigger than them...CM Punk sucks Where was Stevie Richards? In case anyone had any doubts or something....

Why can't we have RVD vs. CM Punk in an extreme rules match for the ECW Title at 'Mania?
Because Vince fired me, along with the rest of you!

Why didn't Ariel go to the ring with Thorn? Why couldn't Sabu and Dreamer stay in a little longer? Why did Punk and RVD get tossed by Khali so easily? Where was Stevie Richards? In case anyone had any doubts or something.... 1. Test has sucked for years, Lashley is being pushed before he's read 2. Styles does not fit well in calling Vince's product. 3. Because he's been on TV for two weeks. 4. Why would she? Exercise? Managers aren't allowed to stay out for the Rumble anyway. 5. Sabu and Dreamer aren't that young, plus their weapon-spot based style isn't really conducive to more than a couple minutes of interest in an hour long Rumble. 6. Both Punk and RVD are billed as being around 6 feet tall, 225 lbs. Khali is over 7 feet tall and around 450. It would be very easy for a man that large to throw men a foot shorter and 1/2 his weight around. 7. In the back, drinking coffee and watching the action.

Stevie Richards was probably at home, laughing his ass off because he's been collecting steady paychecks for 8 or so years, for about 20 nights of work a year.
Go Stevie!

Untrue. Mr. Perfect, Sensational Sherri, and possibly others, accompanied their charges to the ring in 1992 (Although Perfect showed up a bit late, I think) and Sir Mo accompanied Mable in 1996....I'm sure there's others, too.

That is the answer to the following questions:
Why did Test/Lashley suck? Because Triple H booked it.
Why no Styles on commentary during the Rumble match? Triple H told Vince not to let him call it.
Why wasn't Marquis de Monty Cor Von Brown part of the event? Triple H doesn't like his style.
Why didn't Ariel go to the ring with Thorn? Triple H is holding back her jugs so they won't outshine Stephanie's.
Why couldn't Sabu and Dreamer stay in a little longer? Triple H needed them to make his coffee.
Why did Punk and RVD get tossed by Khali so easily? Triple H is scared of them and wants to hold them back.
Where was Stevie Richards? Triple H doesn't even know who this is.

funny thing is the ECW guys were arguably the most over off all the guys inthe rumble, there were several Sabu chants and the guy hasnt won a match since halloween.

He plays with it, makes it his own, then gets bored and leaves it for his dogs to destroy. That's the best analogy I've heard so far for vince and ECW, I was thinking more along the lines of "sticking a firecracker up its ass" but, same thing

Why did Test/Lashley suck? Test and Lashley have always sucked. And I think Paul E. wanted to bring both of them aboard while he was still there. Go figure. Everyone knew an "Extremist" wasn't going to win. Why bother? Didn't he JUST debut? A little soon to include Brand C's newest recruit in a major event. Managers never accompany guys to the Rumble. Besides, despite what everyone thinks, Thorn sucks. Period. Because anyone who didn't start in OVW or got over without Vince's help is clearly not a big star and is little more than a jobber. You knew that, right? Probably the same reason he was jobbed clean to Holly. And probably the same reason Khali tossed out every other ECW guy left in the ring. They're jobbers on the lowest "Brand" on the E totem poll. Probably happy to be behind the scenes rather than killing himself to get a lug like Khali over. It's not that they HATE the brand. They just don't seem to care. Which is almost worse.

I believe it became a rule when managers went out of vogue. I remember Mr Fuji dutifully standing at ringside. But if Sir Mo is the most recent one to be cited, 11 years of no managers makes it a rule of thumb....if you wheeeeeeellll.
