Joe Fraser sent along the following: Did anyone notice on ECW last night that even though they are not admiting the Hurricane and Gregory Helms are the same person, Tony Chimmel still introduced him as Hurricane Helms during his enterance?

Melissa Aquino sent along the following: This week's line-up teasers for WWE Superstars:

For August 20th

On the next "WWE Superstars," Raw Superstars Mark Henry will go head-to-head with Chris Masters. Will The World's Strongest Man steamroll his competition or fall victim to the dreaded Masterlock?

On "WWE Superstars," Shelton Benjamin will face off against ECW's favorite surfer, Tyler Reks. Will The Gold Standard put a stop to the rise of this exciting young Superstar?

SmackDown's rapping Superstar, R-Truth will appear on "WWE Superstars" to compete against Charlie Haas. Can Haas' impressive amateur background compete with the unorthodox style of R-Truth?

Two of Raw's sexiest, smartest and powerful Divas will collide on "WWE Superstars," when Kelly Kelly challenges Beth Phoenix. But can the athletic Kelly compete wtih the power of The Glamazon?

Im sorry but seriously, even though the majority of us have been watching for more then say four years and know that he is Helms, from his last run with the gimmick but seeing as they are going for a newer younger audience that doesn't know that... way to fail up the gimmick and announce it.

Lmao yeah.

You gotta think though, 1. it's not that big of a deal. 2. Kids probably didn't notice.


Still a fuck up on WWE's part though.

 

[noumenon]

This is surely WWE's biggest fuck up of the past year /sarcasm

 

[the dark knight]

people watch ecw?

 

[phantomgerald]

It was on the titantron.

 

[Beer Money Army]

you can see why Tony Chimmel is a ecw announcer.

Me and Airfixx were talking about this in the ECW thread. After the match, Striker even said something along the lines of "Hurricane Helms has just left his mark in ECW"

 

[Airfixx]

F'kn news??????

P-l-e-a-s-e... I noticed his surname on the Titantron 2 weeks ago!


This week it seemed like Styker was trying desperately to cover this crap up throughout the majority of the Helmes/Burchill match...


You gotta think though, 1. it's not that big of a deal. 2. Kids probably didn't notice.

1. It renders his gimmick utterly stupid.
2. As a child I still had basic observation skills.


people watch ecw?

Yup.... And enjoy it. ECW > RAW IMO

Why not...

Doesn't the face that Helms took the mask off vouluntarly blow this whole thing to bits or if you look at it with the fact Burchill's been callling him out for weeks about it maybe everybody already knows its him and thats not the whole point of the gimmick anymore. Everybody knows Kane wore a mask and took it off so by magically saying its not him and coming out to save someone all the sudden wearing it is not going to make everyone forget. Stop looking into such small aspects and enjoy the wrestling people.

 

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

My God, who cares? It's just a bit of fun that they're not admitting it's him. We all know it's him and they know it. They intentionally made it obvious. The fact that people are complaining about this is completely and utterly ridiculous.

Oh and fyi, even if Chimel did screw up, it's hardly news. God, I hope no one posted a news story on Lillian announcing Kofi as the IC champ. I certainly hope no one posts a 'news' story every time JR calls the Whisper in the Wind the Twist of Fate.

Ridiculous.

It's like we didn't know Mr. America was Hulk Hogan until the point where he took off his mask and revealed his face. :disgust:
