I'm an original ECW fan and even I'm shaking my head at this. If they want to hire Tommy to do things backstage - fine, but he'd better not step inside that ring. As others have already said, he hasn't been relevant since the folding of ECW.
My only hope at this point is that TNA has enough ECW alumni to perhaps goad Paul Heyman into returning to booking duties and that's the big surprise. Vince Russo and his lackey Ferrera are being ousted finally and Paul's coming in to make TNA a phoenix. It's a very small hope that gets smaller with each passing day, though, so I'm not holding my breath.
