Seeing Sandman eliminated so easily, as if he was a jobber disheartened me. Hearing JBL say "He's no Stone Cold" deflated him completely. Holy hell that pissed me off! Austin stole the Sandman's gimmick and toned it down, yet the original beer-swigging-ass-kicking 'S.O.B' the Sandman gets tossed out of the Rumble in 3 seconds and is told 'he may swig a beer but he's no Stone Cold'. Arghhh, f***ing WWE logic! Mind you, JBL also said at the end of the Rumble that 'HBK and Undertaker are in their primes, never better' while Jerry Lawler said 'he' not sure if he's ever seen HBK vs Undertaker', despite him commentating during their year long feud. What Retards.

Well, ECW is just the third brand. The WWE's rosters were getting too big, and instead of naming their third brand "Sunday Night Heat", they went with ECW. So just enjoy that fact that it even exists. Eventually it will become a stepping stone for younger guys into the real WWE.

Back then, the new ECW made an effort to be Vince´s vision with Heyman´s vision. Now is Smackdown Junior. I used to call it Extreme Velocity. But now, with the lame matches, lack of direction in booking, and girls stripdancing to rap, it's Extreme Nitro Circa 2000. But I guess that'd be a little too much to fit on the card. Except Nitro 2000 and Velocity was alot better! Basically it's Extreme DSW!

Sandman isn't Stone Cold, though. Isn't that the point you are trying to make? My opinion: Sandman can't wrestle worth a shit. Take away his singapore cane and you got...nothing.

BTW, there's a show store where I live called DSW, and I swear, every time I hear mention of Deep South Wrestling, all I can think of is people wrestling in the aisles amongst women's pumps, and Snitsky being the General Manager.

There's one near here, too. Dear God, Snitsky would need to be BRAIN CHOPPED back to reality if he walked into that store.

On the 'Sandman can't wrestle' argument, I dunno, I have seen 1 or 2 matches where he pulls off some decent stuff- suplexes, dropkicks, counter holds, super frankensteiners, senton bombs, takedowns. But it is very rare I must admit. If he gets the right mix of weapons and wrestling he can do a very good match. No weapons and he can do a poor match or sometimes a decent match. Too many weapons and it becomes a New Jack garbage match.

Ah, the old "Sandman can't wrestle" debate...
Sandman never was a great wrestler. He realized that early on when the ECW fans boo'ed him out of the building every night. So he started weilding a cane and entering the building from every part of the building EXCEPT the entrance. Falls right in with Paul E's philosophy with booking ECW, "Accentuate the positives, hide the negatives."
Sandman couldn't wrestle great, but he could smack someone in the head with a cane and drink beer.
It's the same as Hulk Hogan. He never could wrestle that well, but damn he had charisma and could do a wicked leg drop.

I wouldn't call Steph a dog, now. Wait...... Man, poor HHH. First he tears his quad, and now, everything below his waist turns purple. Pray for Jean-Paul Levesque. And his wife got all swole up in the middle. They should get that looked at.

I imagine it being like when Randal walks into the Movie rental place in Clerks.

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. I wouldn't call Steph a dog, now. Wait...... Who is pregnant in that pic?

the first couple ECW promos i had to remind myself "relax...it's not really ECW".now i just dont care.Last time i watched was "extreme poker",and only because i was in the mood to see Candice michelle.
Two things I don't understand.
-Why would Mcmahon inc. waste so much money,time,and effort just to stick it to ECW fans.Couldn't he just buy a couple of super-expensive cars,or a football team if he needs the write-off??
-If mcmahon inc. insists on an ECW revival,why blatantly rip off ECW originals (the Pitbulls) with a couple of midcard Smackdown guys??...Should I brace myself for "public enemy" Funaki and the Boogeyman or "eliminators" miz and sylvan??
