10/13 ECW Discussion Thread

[Soulpower]

Last week, William Regal and his crew took out both Christian and Zack Ryder after their match. Could this mean a face turn for Ryder? (I hope not)

Tune in to this week's ECW and find out.

Discuss!

Ryder will turn on christian making it regal/kozlov/Jackson/ ryder vs Christian/dreamer/goldust/tatsu or benjamin @ bragging rights. Christain neesd to fight kozlov or jackson this week.

I really hope we don't have a Zack Ryder face turn, that would be WAY to early and just suck. Although I think well be seeing Christian and Ryder Vs Kozlov and Jackson but it won't amount to anything imo. Hopefully William Regal is in action too, against someone other then Tatsu.

I'm still confused on why they made such a big deal about Tatsu beating Regal last week when he pinned him during the 8-man tag, as well as 2 previous pin-falls over him.

But Ryder's face turn seems all but iminant. It's only a matter of time. I'm also hoping we have some continuation of Shelton/Shamus.

I'm down for a a gimmick revamping for Ryder as well. The guy is crazy talented...the Woo Woo Woo thing is priceless..but with the right gimmick this guy could be something big.

They did that match on ECW already.Why would they do the same match at a PPV? I think it'll be Ryder/Christian/Tatsu against the 3 meanies.

Cause the wwe love recycling matches. I cant see Ryder as a face yet.

Since i've been back you haven't heard me rant on ECW, so i figure now is as good as time as any. On the whole roster you have about 4 wrestlers that are roster worthy. The faction of Regal/Zeke/Kozlov mades zero sense. Christian has nothing to work with. The ECW belt isn't even worth as much as it was just 6 months ago, and Christian is a very credible champ.

None the less, ECW needs help on the roster. They are opening the show with Zeke vs. Goldust. It's almost like i watch ECW just to see how bad it's going to be.

Maybe one of you can help show me a reason to like ECW, but i can't get into the roster.

Christian - good champ, but no credible challengers
Abraham Washington - Good mic worker, but doesn't seem to fit in the mix.
DJ Gaberiel - OK, but i dont believe he's been around in a while
Zeke Jackson - Should have stuck with Kendrick. Has potential, but the booking of him has been poor
Goldust - vetern jobber
Helms - can hold his own, if he wrestles
Paul Burchill - Talented, just has been booked poor
Shaemus - I dont like him, but he's ok in the ring. I know he's got a nice little buzz around the IWC.
Shelton - Good worker
Tommy Dreamer - How much more is left?
TYler Reks - Should he really have been brought up?
Vladimir Kozlov - Cause they dont want him on Raw/SD
William Regal - Since when is he a main eventer? And shouldn't he be with Burchill?
Yoshi Tatsu - Talented, but how much of a future does he really have? WHat happened to Jimmy Wang?
Zack Ryder - Ehh, he's benefited the most by moving to ECW, but should he really have a job?

I don't see why you don't air FCW instead of ECW. Looking at the roster if ECW got cut, i think they would keep Christian, Shelton, Shaemus, and Regal. The development talent just isn't ready in my opinion.

 

[noumenon]

Sheamus just cut probably the truest promo EVER..lol.

I think we know who Vince's golden boy is on ECW.

 

[Great One]

Tonight's show lacked a cool Christian promo...

Shaemus is fucking disgusting looking, I can't even watch this guy. He's so bland, ugly, and homosexual looking. Dreamer is still way young... how is it being questioned if he can still go lol... Regal is one of the most underrated talents and workers ever. The guy is a all around God and amazing/hilarious heel. ECW is lucky as hell to have this guy. Their faction was sudden, but who cares? Cool name, cool booking, cool promos, cool attire, cool look. Big 5. As well as a much needed actual (dominant) faction. I keep thinking Burchill would work even better than Ezekiel, but dunno.

Goldust gets HUGE reactions, he should get the title soon. Shelton shouldn't even be on this brand, but yeah, he also should get the title soon (when Christian leaves).

Glad Striker finally billed Burchill as "The Ripper". Burchill is one of the most underlooked, wasted talents in the WWE. I really hope he gets his big push soon. Also, I would do bad things to Katie Lea...

 

[noumenon]

When Burchill re-debuted he looked like a fucking beast. They gave him like 3 squashes and then soured on him. Since then he kinda flabbed up and I'm shocked he still has a job. I'm a huge Burchill fan and would really love to see this guy get a chance to become top heel on ECW...he's got the wrestling ability and skills to do it.

 

[Great One]

Yeah.. I noticed that too, he lost so much mass, zzz.

 

[Dylanfsd]

I think we should see a Goldust/Benjamin feud before anyone gets anymore title shots. I really dont see anyone else worthy enough to get a shot at Christians Belt.

I don't mind the wrestlers all that much, in my opinion, collectively they just dont build a strong roster. The guys they brought up were decent at best.

My biggest problem with ECW, is that you have ONE championship, and that is supposed to be the big deal. Not saying that it's not a big deal, BUT you don't have any credible challengers to the belt. Whats the point of having a face champion and no legit threats to the belt. They got nothing then. Even FCW has tag titles. Not saying ECW needs tag titles, but for rounded wrestling programs, you need two to tango. CHristian can't keep carrying the whole show. The GM is practically part time. The wwe puts zero effort into the show. Guys fued and have a few matches and its done. Off to the next fued. They are lucky to have one match on a ppv 50% of the time. With the current roster, this has to be the worst wrestling program i've seen on tv (next to WSX)

 

[noumenon]

I don't get how you can say there are no credible challengers for the belt. The previous few champions were Matt Hardy, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger and Chavo....face it...it's a mid-card title for the show comprised entirely of mid carders. Hell, they even made the belt silver, it's the silver metal.
If you don't think Regal, Goldust, Ryder, Sheamus and Shelton are contenders for a mid card title, then...I don't know what to tell you.

And I hate to break it to you but as for Christian; unless he leaves ECW and immediately starts teaming with Edge again...will shoot for a mid-card title.
