ECW is going to save WWE

[Dylanfsd]

It's this simple. ECW may be the least viewed brand of the company, and for some may be the weakest. But I say this. ECW has the future of the WWE lying in it's locker room. The men that will be the Wrestlemania headliners, the future WWE Champions, th new legends. I know it is getting a bit farsighted, but there is no doubt that ECW holds the 4 men that will lead the company very soon.


CM Punk

One of the best competitors the WWE has, period. It's no secret I am a fan, but there is a reason to that. CM Punk has the wrestling ability, we have seen it. Any man that can have a match with Mike Knox and not make me change the station, has done his job. He has the promo zskills. WWE hasn't let him show them all that much. Check out old ROH. The Raven promos, the sXe promos. He is amazingly cativating. He has the intensity. I swear to you that CM Punk will be the WWE Champion within 5 years.


Elijah Burke

This guy impresses me so much it's scary. He is the most charismatic bad guy I have seen since The Rock. He reminds me of the Intercontinental Champion version of The Rock. Such convincing arrogence. A pretty innovating moveset. He will be the next big heel in wrestling.


John Morrison

There is a reason he is the ECW Champion. He isn't just the little bitch he was in the Raw locker room. This is not the MNM Johnny Nitro. This is an amazing athlete, a great striker. He has all the makings of a major name. The look, the ability, the ability to make you hate him


Marcus Cor Von

WWE stole this man from TNA. Best move they have done all year. Don't let his brute gorilla seemings fool you. This guy can work. Have you seen anyone ever do something as powerful looking as the Alpha Bomb? A very simple move that The Alpha Male makes work. Even a shit move like the Pounce works with him.



Forget Cody Rhodes, Kenny Dykstra, Carlito, and Randy Orton. You want my attention? Put these guys on your top shows. Make these guys your main events. I for one would love to see Punk vs Triple H at a Wrestlemania main event.

 

[Flair for The Gold]

Yep, no question, completely agree. These will be the guys leading WWE in the future.

The only thing I disagreed with you on is Cody Rhodes. He posseses a very good roots wrestling style. Kind of reminiscent of the 80's NWA style. I like it, and I think with time he will gain enough charisma to be a good star for the company.

 

[RareBreedRockstar]

Ahem to that 100%. Punk and Morrison on are the doorsteps of that WWE Glass ceiling and are ready to break it down. Burke is on his way too and when (hopefully soon) Cor Von comes back he should be on his way for a push to fued with any of these three. ECW = Potential and these four men are it.

I agree with you on some level my friend but if they are to make the main events of wrestlemanias then they need to be on raw and smackdown first and up their game a bit. Iam a huge cm punk fan and burke both can be massive but only if booked right. Khali is not a good wrestler yet hes the champion. You can be the best wrestler in the world in the wwe dont mean you'll get wwe title. Those ecw guyas have to work hard to get to that next level. I think they have the characters,just good booking needs to be done. Plus i disagree with dykstera and orton very bad move there man lol.

 

[FlamesofFury]

Yes I think ECW is going to be a great thing down the line and I also think that people are going to regret saying that they once hated it due to it not being "original" and being the Extreme Championship Wrestling of old. I agree with you for the most part but I don't see CM Punk being used right for sometime or he is leaving the company in a year or so. If they give the title to Punk then I think they are going to give him a ginormous (Tazz language) push. I love Burke as a wrestler as well and he can get it done on the mic. Morrison really has benefited from ECW because I hated the guy when he was Johnny Nitro but now as John Morrison I look forward to watching the guy each week.

I do disagree with one statement that you said and that was about forget Cody Rhodes, Carlito, Dykstra and Orton. I don't think you can forget about them especially not Orton, Rhodes and Carlito. Carlito looks to be getting a good push ever since beating "Super-Champ" John Cena. He might be winning the Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam. Cody Rhodes is certainly one young prospect that I think is going to be great one day. He has that same type of swagger that Randy Orton has right now and he hasn't even been in 10 matches yet on National TV and he is doing great IMO. He is carrying himself in the ring and could be a good in ring competitor but I think he needs to pick himself up a little on the mic in the future. Orton is the main eventing heel of Raw and nobody can forget about him because he might be the one to dethrone John Cena of the WWE Championship.

A good post none the less and I would have liked it even more if you didn't make that last comment. I fully think ECW is great but it isn't going to save the WWE at all. I have been saying all this time that ECW is great because the young guns of the WWECW get on TV in a developmental region. ECW doesn't give us all that bad of matches either.


HOW ABOUT STEVEN RICHARDS THOUGH, A MINI PUSH. 3 WINS IN A ROW AND HE EVEN GOT HIS OWN PROMO!!!

 

[Hitman]

Honestly I don't see what WWE is doing with "The Alpha Male" Marcus Cor Von, he haven't been on ECW for month's and I bet you either they might give him a new gimmick like they did Big Daddy V & Snitsky or they might release him.

He has been taking time off to tend to some family issues in the wake of a death in his family.... for the past two months.

I completely agree with this except the last part about Cody and the others.

 

[KenFan4life]

I agree with you,but You forgot to put Miisssttterrrr....Kennneedyyy!!!...Kennedy! and MVP (<cause he's straight up "Ballin'".) and even Santino Marrella on your list of "Future Headliners."

 

[vickymania]

ECW needs more people in their roster..period..they cant just run the show on the shoulders of 4 people,can they?? they get the least ratings among the 3 wwe shows,currently..hopefully,Estraaaaaaaaaaada can do some good as GM..

yeah they need to I just notice that they have only 21 people on their roster

I agree with your statement, but not 100% with the reasoning. I think CM Punk has star written all over him. But while, Morrision, Burke, and Cor von all have great careers ahead of them, they won't be main event status. Perhaps one of the three will over achieve, but for now, i see those guys being upper mid card.

When talking about the future of the wwe, you can't forget about guys like MVP, and Kennedy. Those guys a lot with CM Punk are the future.

I think ECW may save the wwe, is because they actually feature "wrestling" Plus with the influx of a lot of new talent, ECW should grow even more. Guys like Sydal, Colt Cabana, Teddy Hart, and more. Not to mention the wwe will likely steal one major name from TNA. If the wwe moved the CW division to ECW, and gave it 2 hours. We coudl see some great entertaining wrestling every week. ECW would be the "must see" show for the wwe. If these not so unlikely changes occur. The only question is if Vince wants to run with 3 brands. Me personally wouldn't mind breaking the rosters into SD Or ECW. While Raw showcases talent from both shows. Although that is unlikely. Thats my 2 cents on the new ecw.

 

[Rell]

Save WWE from what? Is Vince McMahon secretly declaring bankruptcy? Last time I checked WWE was the most popular wrestling promotion in the world. WWE is in a great position. Fact, The popularity of Wrestling in America is low, nothings going to change that. What does WWE need "saving" from? WWE isn't in any danger. TNA, & ROH are not legit competitors. Both promotions have its strong & weak points, but the chances of another wrestling promotion reaching the success levels of WWE are slim to none. Wrestling in general has been receiving bad publicity as of late, and I'm sure its going to continue.

Umm..Morrison not Maineventing? What do you think he does on ECW? If you meant ppv. Unless it's an ECW one he prolly won't mainevent. That spot goes mainly to RAW not even Smakcdown ppl mainevent as much as RAW.


I pretty much agree with you but from what I've seen CM Punk do in the WWE/ECW he is not wrestling like he should. All he does is the same martial arts moves over and over again. Wrestling is about headlocks,wristlocks,armnbars and so on. CM Punk doesn't ulitlize these enough.
The others I agree with and Morrison has another thing going for him. He's being backed by HBK who siad something in a PWI article a few months back about Morrison needing to break away from Melina and then he'd move-up and low and behold 6 months later he's the ECW World Champion.

Marcus needs another gimmick he also needs another move THE Pounce is not a good move really. I think if he used a varation of a powerbomb chokeslam that would be intense and maybe give him a better push.

ECW does have the guys but some need to wrestle and get better finishers before they ever get that major push. I see Morrison moving higher-up first as he's the ECW Champion and the others have been there longer but haven't captured the title.

And Yes, I am not a huge CM Punk fan but I am not talking bad just stating what I see and what others prolly see. I know he can wrestle but show it.

 

[vickymania]

people ECW itself needs help if it has to maintain crowds and tv ratings..just look at the situation..
1) few people in the roster..they need some good people to join them
2) 1 hr TV slot compared to RAW and SD's 2 hr slot..they showcase more matches and more gimmicks..what does ECW has?? ECW extreme expose?? how many people can get matches slated in an hour??
3) just one championship belt..hell.do u expect all of them to fight for the title?? ECW needs one more Belt for the offering..my options will be to have a Hardcore championship belt revived or like Montana said,move CW to ECW
4) after Vince brought back ECW,except for when it started it took both RAW and SD by storm..what happened after?? all steam was lost,guys moved out of ECW,that doesn't help..where r the extreme rules matches or the hardcore matches that r expected to be in ECW,which itself means Extreme championship..
5) compare Big Show, RVD, Sabu ,Angle ( when he was the part ), against Morrison, Punk, Boogeyman and Daddy V..i agree Punk is the next gen superstar but he hasn't achieved what the four names i mentioned have achieved..Punk needs time as well as morrison..
