The New Face of ECW?

Wrestling has been pretty interesting lately.  This whole ECW ordeal has shaken the WWE up quite a bit.  Some of it good, allot bad.  I like the idea of a third brand for the WWE, but only if done correctly.

I didn’t see last years One Night Stand.  I’m sorry I did.  For the clips I saw afterwards of it looked pretty good.  At the time I could have seen it, but I just didn’t trust it.  ECW had been closed for a while and I wasn’t sure what to make of it.  So last years comes and goes and of course I don’t pass up this next one.  So I get it and it was a great show in my opinion. The crowd was awesome!  I don’t think the crowd at Wrestlemania was as good.
Even though the ECW crowd was only like 2500 people, but still.  They ate John Cena alive!  Some of the chants were funny as hell.  I don’t think I’ve heard anyone chant “F you” to Cena so loud.  On top of that when John Cena through his shirt into the crowd and they kept throwing it back the crowd was going nuts!  The whole night was pretty entertaining.  Worth my $40 bucks?  Sure.  

So after that great Sunday night, and a good Raw, I had high expectations for the debut of the show on Tuesday night.  Boy was that a waste of time.  I don’t get it.  First off all they had was an hour, which was all right.  But they wasted so much time.  I understand that they want to recap the PPV from Sunday, but it should have been just that.  They showed the entire Jerry Lawler Vs. Taz match. Which even though it was the shortest match on the card they still shouldn’t have bothered.  Then what the hell was the deal with that bitch Kelly, I think, deciding to tell everybody that she was going to strip for us later in the show.  Which anyone with even a shred of common sense knows isn’t going to happen, cable or no cable.  So later in the show what do they do?  Waste 10 minutes with this tramp “teasing” us.  Look, I like my porn and my wrestling in two separate entities please.  She’s no different then any other stripper they can find.  I think there was less then 30 minutes of real wrestling on the show.  To start the show we had the promo with RVD, Cena, Edge and Heman.  Which the outcome was predictable.  Now Heman has to go to Raw for redemption next week.

As some point the idea is for the branch to stand on it’s own two legs.  They can’t spend
All there time going after Raw.  Personally I think the brand is in trouble if they keep up the way their going.  Okay, so I’ll cut them some slack cuz’ it was their debut back on TV.  But they need to do something.  They do have the star power to make something happen.  I’ll admit it’s not the same ECW without the Duddley boys and New Jack.  I give the promotion a year before the plug gets pulled.  Which is sad really.  But once it leaves this time I think we should just leave it buried.  I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.  Keep it real people…

So yeah...

Well hello there people! So yeah it's been quite some time, about four months now and allot have happened. I'm happy that I survived X-mas and it left just as quickly as it got here. I hope everyone got what he or she wanted. My New Year was all right. All I have to talk about today is a few tidbits here and there. I apologize for not having more compelling issues to talk about.

I don't know about you, but Howie Mandell is great! For those not in the know...he hosts Deal or No Deal on NBC. I watched it when they aired it for about a week back in December, but since they decided to bring it back I've been hooked. For the most part I hate modern TV. I'll be blunt, it downright sucks. Now I love TV. All the old stuff. TV Land is my savior. So it's kind of refreshing to find something modern that I like to watch. Oh and cartoons of course. My old lady doesn't like the fact that I watch so many cartoons I think, but whatever. We'll just see how long it lasts. My luck since I've found something good to watch and they can it a week later.

The gaming industry is abuzz lately. Sony FINALLY decided that they would admit to a delay in launching the PS3, which by the way I'm convinced they've known about since oh, I don't know, before Christmas. It doesn’t surprise me one bit, and I'm actually happy about it. It gives me time to save more money. No, I don't have a 360. Had to cancel at the last minute cuz' I couldn’t come up with the scratch. But it's all right, there isn't a "killer ap" on the 360 yet anyway. There are some pretty cool things on it, but nothing I must have. One of the big titles they were hyping up so much, perfect dark zero, turned out to be not all the great anyway according to the articles I've read. Adam and Morgan said it was average but opinions very greatly. As far as other reviews I've seen nothing that says "holy shit I've got to pimp my wife to get this!”

What bothers me the most about the entire launch is that M$ still says that the launch was a great success. I have a huge problem with that. When you can't keep up with initial demand the months later, and then had the nerve to cut the initial number of consoles available at launch in half about a month before, I'd say it was less then stellar. Okay so it wasn't a debacle. But come on, there are consoles still on the shelves in Japan. So tell me this, why don't they take those consoles and bring them here? It only makes sense to me. Now Sony decided they're going the "worldwide launch" rout. Which to me is a disturbing trend. I have no problem with waiting to get the console after the Japanese. Okay, so I'm not the typical impatient gamer. But it doesn't bother me. I still think it's not over. I trust Sony; they know what they're doing. I just think that plans will change the closer we get to November. Well okay so that’s like all I have to say at this point. I'm sure my luck I'll probably end up not making an entry for another four months but I'll try to get better I swear.

Until then people...
