Lmao just watched the Show/Flair ECW match and their match is more ECW than anything involving actual ECW Originals up to that point. Also lmao at RIC FLAIR being involved in a feud with Mick Foley at the time based on him calling Foley a glorified stunt man and then...doing a match with barbed wire bats and thumbtacks with 100% zero irony. It's even better that the story of the match is 58 year old Flair being clearly physically outmatched and having to rely on chairs, trash cans, and barbed wire bats to compete with Show. A Nitro main event from 1996 is the main event of ECW in 2006. The ultimate ECW fan nightmare. And to top it off, Flair's thumbtack match takes place AFTER THE MATCH IS OVER. l

Let's return to ECW. In the month after Paul Heyman screwed RVD and hand delivered the championship to Big Show:

Show has decided he's the greatest champion of all time and challenges future hall of famers from both brands to matches weekly

First he kills Ric Flair:

Then he faces the Brothers of Destruction in consecutive weeks:

Big+Show+superplex+to+Undertaker.gif
Kane+hits+Big+Show+with+chair+off+apron+through+tables.gif


Then Batista in a hilarious match at the Hammerstein Ball Room that of course the crowd shyt on even worse than they did John Cena about a month and a half prior. Meanwhile, Sabu has been repeatedly asking for a match against Show, but Paul won't give it to him, so he's begun taking matters into his own hands.

After screwing RVD, Paul Heyman began coming out with riot police and speaking almost exclusively in religious terms, essentially comparing himself to Moses/Jesus/Ghandi/Mohammed every week. Tommy Dreamer repeatedly tried to confront him, leading to Paul going out of his way to fukk Tommy over, often using his guards or Test to deliver beat downs. At the same time, Sandman beating up gimmicks and the Mike Knox covering up Kelly Kelly angles intersected, which got turned into Knox/Test vs Dreamer/Sandman, with Heyman again going out of his way to fukk over the ECW Originals.

Some nerd named CM Punk made his debut and I guess some people paid to see him or something?

The vampire that was following the shows from week to week debuted as a wrestler somehow, and the tarot card reader with giant cans? She's with him. And implied that they were legitimate 1000 year old vampires.

Kurt Angle randomly missed 3 weeks, Sabu somehow didn't get suspended with RVD and is the only ECW Original booked strong at all, although when he had a match with Kurt, it was 15 minutes of Kurt completely running through him. And then RVD popped back up OUTTA NOWHERE to ruin the finish, setting up a ladder match between RVD and Sabu. In 2006.

Also, RENE fukkING DUPREE has joined the brand, along with seemingly never ending vignettes of The Reject Shannon Moore in full gear and make up staring at things, as well as Balls Mahoney introducing himself to the ECW audience every week.

So, to recap: Paul Heyman is feuding with all of the ECW Originals, having them beaten up at random just because. Dreamer/Sandman have been defeated by Test/Knox in various forms for 4 weeks. Originals like Justin Credible, Al Snow, and Guido are full on jobbers. The main events have featured Big Show vs Ric Flair/Kane/Taker/Batista and somehow Big Show embodies the ECW spirit more than anyone else on the roster. Sabu is the only guy from ECW pushed well, although they also have him cutting promos every other week. There's also a wrestling vampire and Rene Dupree. And Great Khali showed up one ep.

In a Bret Hart mood today so watching random matches and watching him against 1-2-3 Kid and I didn't notice it at the time, but Macho Man commentating is just him using his promo voice:pachaha: It's kinda distracting. Still a better than listen than JBL/Saxton/Cole/Whoever they've had over the years recently :mjgrin:

Edit: decided to finish the Raw episode where this Hitman and Kid match is from and Macho just called himself "the Forrest Gump of the WWF" and now he's shouting "GOOOOOOAL" like a Spanish soccer announcer as Crush squashes Matt Hardy :dahell:

Two months ago, there were rumors that had surfaced that WWE had no current plans for their UK division, until the U.K. Championship Special aired on the WWE Network. On today’s installment of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke on the topic & indicated that WWE has no immediate plans for the division.

As most of you are aware, most of the UK stars such as: Tyler Bate, Wolfgang, Pete Dunne& Trent Seven to name a few; have been working indie events for quite some time now, even after working a few shows on WWE TV. The word is that no-one has been informed of the plans for the division and the original idea was to have a weekly show, but that idea has been sidelined & no dates have been set for the show.

Edge & Christian’s WWE Network show may have been cut after an entire second season was already filmed. On today’s installment of Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer confirmed that WWE has decided to end the show. Edge & Christian also stated over their podcast that it may have been too pricey for the WWE.

Also, a game show that R-Truth was set to host has been cancelled as well. It was reported that the show was in the works, but now it is clear that it will not be coming to fruition. This all in the midst of Talking Smack being cancelled, Renee Young’s “Unfiltered” being cancelled, WWE cutting pyro among many other things that they have decided to deem unneeded.

WWE has been filming new material for future episodes of the Southpaw Regional Wrestling, which is a parody of 1980’s southern pro wrestling that features several WWE stars such as John Cena, Rusev, Lana, Chris Jericho, Cesaro, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.

The company has added new characters to the show that will be portrayed by The New Day, Seth Rollins, and Rhyno.

Another new character has been revealed for the show. That character will be portrayed by Natalya
