9/22 ECW Discussion Thread

^Can't agree with you on that one, still annoying as hell to me.
The Shelton/Seamus thing could have been done more effectively in the ring, with a regular promo without Atlas laughing like an asshole in the background. The Sanford & Son comment was hilarious though.

The only reason it seemed better is because Shelton and Sheamus did a good job and had mildly funny jokes. Noumenon is right, the show is still major crap. They could of done a better job on their own. Abe needs to pick/bring in a wrestler to back and be his manager. Drop the gimmick.

As to the second title thing earlier, like I said, WWE should treat ECW like a main show, then bring in a second title.

Ryder/Christian next. =.

 

[noumenon]

I'm assuming Abe is indeed a wrestler right? I mean they didn't just bring him in for this dumb ass gimmick.

AND WOO WOO WOO...let's do it.

In FCW he is the GM and is working a "president" gimmick with wrestlers as his cabinet. But I don't think he's wrestled a match on FCW/ECW, at least in awhile.

 

[noumenon]

woo..woo....woo

 

[xtremebadass]

The Abe Show was great...

Zack Ryder losing not so much...

SON OF A BITCH

 

[Hometown Kid]

Aw, no worries, guys. It is not like Trips or some other guy is champ, Christian is actually worth a damn as champion. But why the hell did Regal come out and completly trash Ryder? They didn't even spend ten seconds talking about what a good effort he put in or put him over, they just went right to Regal. :n: Nothing against Regal, just bad booking there.

 

[noumenon]

The clean win kinda puts him right out the title picture...
Oh yeah and the IMMEDIATE restart of the Regal/Christian feud..lol

And yeah, agreed. They kinda shit on Ryder hardcore with that one.

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

didn't the Shelton Benjamin pop sound a little fake? it was an alright segment, things didn't really start to roll until Shelton came in.

Matt Striker name dropped Asher Roth, out of nowhere during the title match. That was awesome. The match was great, I'm not too worried about the loss. maybe Ryder will team with Christian against Regal and Co for the next month?

 

[noumenon]

Nooooooooooo... without being heel he'll essentially be Ricky Ortiz telling us to RALLY UP! ::waits for XBA to see post::

 

[Hometown Kid]

The Shelton pop sounded fine to me, unless they put it in 3 times during the segment for him. What was up with Sheamus's hair? That was laughable in itself. He looked from the 1920's. :laugh:

I still think they can go a "mutual respect" type route and have Sheamus go face and have Sheamus, Shelton and Christian battle Regal and the goons. Maybe add Dreamer and Hurricane and Regal can get Burchill and Ryder and that's an ECW Survivor Series match.

 

[seX-Power]

Ryder losing is win. Guy's place is FCW.

 

[Airfixx]

LOL. Calm down you lot.... Ryder so much as getting the title shot to start with was a great rub.

Assuming the match wasn't a squash then it's all good (It sounds like he got his chance to shine).

It is not like Trips or some other guy is champ

...Yeah, the difference being if it was HHH there'd be loads of whiney smarks moaning about "burials".

Christian is actually worth a damn as champion.

Pfffffffff, right.... So much so that ya'll will be happy for him to drop his title to a guy that's barely on 'the ladder'... That there’s what REAL champions are made of, eh?

What does that REALLY say about the IWCs beloved Christian if you think he should have done the job last night?

Ryder has no business going over Christian clean for the ECW title at this juncture.

 

[Hometown Kid]

^ First of all, it wasn't a burial, it was a good match. And as I said before, I expected Christian to win and would have wondered what the hell they were thinking if Ryder had won. He's talented but there are about 5-8 guys ahead of him as far as title guys go.

I think some should seperate the gimmick from the wrestler because Ryder had talent when he was with Hawkins and he didn't lose it because of the general douche he portrays.

 

[Airfixx]

It's hard to tell where you were coming from in the post that I quoted....

Still curious as to what you're on about when you said "It is not like Trips or some other guy is champ, Christian is actually worth a damn as champion"...

What, as a champ, does HHH lack that Christian doesn't?


(For the record, on this topic am only commenting on Ryder from a character/kayfaybe standpoint... What he's done with other gimmicks or what he may do in the future aren't really relevant this context.)
