Khali has the what the hell factor when it comes to charisma Lashley has no charisma. NONE. He is a black hole of charisma You say his name is Lashley, and he has no charisma...I say his name is Lashley, and he's a bastard. You see, if he could just control his voice a bit then it would be funny. (Dry humor would be fine) I actually laughed while reading that because it's so ridiculous. But his voice sounds like a 5 year old. In his voice It's terrible. It sounds girlish and lame as hell. |

I'm pretty sure that match at wrestlemania will be awful (I'm presuming its Snitsky vs Lashley for the Velocity World Championship)
Snitsky looks like a retarded version of Kane..which in itself is redundant. I can't buy him as a credible wrestler or a contender to anything.
Its become so bad that I actually can't even watch the show without getting incredibly mad and annoyed at just how terrible the product. Its not even the principle that its supposed to be "ECW"..its just really terrible wrestling and so disgustingly boring.

I really don't understand this. You can't find a big buff dude who doesn't sound like a freaking 5 year old? This is really the best you got? It's funny, cause they already got one in ECW in Monty Brown. Just have him drop that ridiculous music, and he'll be just as good as Lashley, IMO. |

i think they could turn that show into something great, but they just dont seem to want to. As a wise friend of mine stated, it may be because they fear it would overshadow Raw and SD.
They could basically give the fans their own 'TNA', an alternative of their own, if that makes sense.

The sad thing is ECW is so easily fixable. Make it like original ECW and people who watched original ECW will watch! That's so easy to say. That's like saying, "just have world peace". Besides didn't the original ECW go bankrupt as well? Yes it did. |

So I've noticed...basically Vince is not hell bent on making Lashley the black Batista/Lesnar...can never get enough of those hosses. All you need to have is huge neck muscles and you can have one of the WWF's 2,354 championship belts! I tuned in last night when they had all the contenders in the rings and I was like "Who the hell is that other guy with the belt? Oh it's just Lashley...too many damn "champions" Why is Vince so determined to make Lashley the "star" of the ECW brand? Because he has tons of muscles? That's about all he has, because he can't talk worth a crap, his voice sounds like he's 5, he's decent at best in the ring, and he's just all around bland. If Vince wants to create a star on the ECW brand he has to look no further than a guy who wasn't even on tv last night. |

Yeah, but only cause ECW got the only Jew that couldn't handle money, Paul Heyman Hey, it was, I think, Tommy Dreamer's words, not mine. |

I don't see anyone buying Bobby Lashley shirts. He doesn't even have a nickname or catch phrase.

Besides didn't the original ECW go bankrupt as well? Yes it did. ECW went backrupt, but that had nothing at all to do with the show's booking, characters or storylines. It had everything to do with Paul Heyman being a poor businessman. WWE does not have these same financial problems, so that won't be what kills WWECW. It's going to be the opposite... the booking and characters. |

Let´s not forget which federation started an edgy style of wrestling and showcase different talents that went to WCW and WWF shall we? Saying that "Oh RCW went bankrupt so therefore they suck" is a stupid statment, because ECW, like most territories, was drove away by bigger competition. |

I just don't understand. The reason TNA is gaining speed and catching up to the wwe is because of the talent they have and ya know what?
Nothing in TNA as far as talent goes..represents Bobby Lashley.
I don't know if they can fix ECW so easily..I think they've lost too many fans to care anymore..

I have a hard time believing this just because a I feel that Vince is not a quitter.
New ECW could be fixed. Let me, however, stress in caps: NOT BY MAKING IT OLD ECW. Old ECW is dead, okay? Move on.
They have potential and are just now starting to roll with it (Original Vs. New Breed).
Kevin Thorn is a great Papa Shango like midcard character that could easily feud at the drop of an onion (Puns...can be bad...)
Stirker's feud with CM Punk should be continued. Striker not liking Punk because "He is being praised for something everyone should do." is a good reason for a feud in my opinion. With proper time and a great match, both men could get over (Let's not start a but..but..Punk argument).
The main event scene needs some original involvment. I have no problem with Monster Snitsky making a run for the title against Lashley, however, let's throw in Sabu or perhaps even Tommy Dreamer. Some more Extreme Rules matches for the Extreme Championship Wrestling world title would also make sense.
RVD-Burke. More please.
Sandman-Holly. I think these guys could do well together, something we didn't get to find out at D2D.
There are so many possible feuds and angles. There is a chance for ECW to improve.
