WWE-ECW Leave the Memories Alone Thread

[JurassicBonez]

Christian
The New Breed vs The Original
Lashley jumping on the cage wall and knocking it over on Umaga was mark out moment for me.

 

[MizMasta3000]

Benoit's last match with Elijah Burke.

Punk/Morrison (what Benoit was supposed to be in)

Extreme Expose always did me in.

Hardcore Holly's heel turn

 

[noumenon]

Big Show's title reign. Basically the only time I've ever enjoyed Big Show.
RVD/Cena
New Breed vs. Originals
Morrison/Punk
Anything Christian
Zack Ryder...you know it.
(And speaking of the last two, Ryder/Christian was fuckin awesome)

All in all it wasn't that bad and TBH at times it was by far WWE's best product on TV. I really hope they keep it going in some capacity because there are a lot of young guys with a lot to prove. The majority of their roster would just be eaten alive on the two major brands.

Was Lashley's suicide dive through the cage wall onto Umaga on ECW?

RVD/Cena was the shit! I really miss that, going back to the ECW One Night Stand PPV and everyone was booing the shit out of Cena... WIN!

These two without a doubt are high up on my fave things in ECW.

thnx newmie, how could I have forgotten about Adamle?!??!?!? He was single handedly the greatest announcer ever. The dude is certified gold.

Plus how could anyone forget the night ECW turned into TNA with Marcus Cor Von vs. Kassidy Riley lol. The entire crowd was chanting TNA, they edited it but you could still hear it.

 

[noumenon]

Adamle was painful as an announcer. I loved him as GM though.

 

[xtremebadass]

Adamle was a good announcer in a very different way. He was not really a good wrestling announcer but he brought some interest back into announcing. He made me look forward to what he was going to say next. It was priceless. I miss the days when I cared about the announcers. King and JR bickering was great. King was super heel on commentary. That is why I liked Adamle he made me pay attention to what he was saying, he was very entertaining both as commentator and GM.

 

[straight_edge76]

I loved Batista vs. Big Show in the Manhattan Center where the fans chanted "Change the Channel." That was good times lol.

One of the only highlights of the WWE-ECW run tbh.

Another was when Punk beat Morrison for the ECW title in 2007. Hell the entire feud was awesome.

Most things with RVD were awesome.

*Christian's title reign.
*Regal's quest for the gold.
*Punk/JoMo fued.
*Mizzorison & The Dirt Sheet.
*The rise of Jack Swagger.
*Evan Bourne getting to wrestle 'proper' matches.
*Seeing Chavo Guerrero booked as a credible wrestler and champ.
*The fact that if it wasn't for WWE-ECW there would never have been the awesom-ness that was ONS05 & ONS06.
*All the bandwaggon-jumpering fans of the orig. ECW failing to get over 'their' (...ok, SOMEONE ELSES!) beloved memories were being tarnished by Vince and the lack of violence and by virtue of their 'smark'-ing and moaning (and in many cases boycotting), missing out on some top, top shit.


...and it generally being the best wrestling show on TV for all but the last year (and on-and-off for much of the year before that too).



I will miss WWE-ECW.

The feud between Punk and Morrison was amazing, and I loved the New Breed vs. The Originals. It's too bad that the only member left of the New Breed in WWE is Matt Striker, and he's on commentary. I also liked the fact that wrestlers who would get lost in the midcard shuffle elsewhere were given a chance to actually wrestle on ECW.

Totally agree with this

CM Punk too I guess if you count his very short heel turn with them

 

[LKP]

Punk vs Morrison > anything else ECW has ever produced

Hell yeah

I liked cm punks debut
Christians return
New breed vs originals
Dreamer leaving ecw/wwe
Jack swaggers matches with christian
Lashleys cage jump onto umaga
Orton rko on dreamer

 

[straight_edge76]

I loved the CM Punk debut vignettes.. They were epic.

 

[Wordlife]

^agreed, the straight-edge heel segments talking about Chicago were a WIN! in my books
