ECW - 2 Hours of Extreme

[newmie]

Leading into the 2010 Royal Rumble Vincent K. McMahon and many of the higher up’s within the WWE were in discussions with the SyFy Channel. SyFy approached the WWE into making ECW a two hour show, due to continuously being on of the highest rated shows on the channel. McMahon was excited at the prospect of having an extra hour of WWE programming and having the ability to provide more superstars with opportunities to prove their worth. So 1 hour before the first Raw after the Royal Rumble went to air, WWE.com held a mini draft in which ECW would lose 5 superstars, Raw would lose 6 superstars and Smackdown would lose 6 superstars. Raw would then gain 5 superstars, Smackdown would gain 5 superstars and ECW would gain 7 superstars. After the draft a few superstars also made their intentions known that they would defect to the new ECW.

Not too much to say here really, decent draft, ECW got some alright talent in, I like the current ECW show so it should be good to see what you can do with it with an extra hour.

 

[seX-Power]

Not much to say apart from STICK WITH THIS. You're one of the new people I see potential in, and you could really utilize that through a long lasting BTB. ECW is a great way to cement yourself as someone that is known as well. Good luck.

It looks like a good start to the thread and the rosters look good with Evan Bourne going back to ECW as well as the likes of Noble, Carlito, Haas, and, of course, SANTINO~!

This looks as though it has potential and I wish you luck, and I think seX wants you to STICK WITH THIS, and so do I, so, uh, STICK WITH THIS >_>.

Good pick in Matt Striker for General Manager, can't wait to see the first show.
