Coming off the heels of what will more than likely be the 2nd best PPV of the year, I wanna share my thoughts on the event and the whole wrestling scene in general.
It is obvious to me, that enough people purchased and enjoyed the ECW PPV, myself included. I was apprehensive about the WWE inserting it's own guys into the mix, much less the jabronis that they chose to undertake the "invasion". Kurt Angle, sure. JBL, why not? Edge..haha, at least it's understandable. Regal, makes sense...But then...there were these goofs. Maven? Snitsky? Orlando Jordan? The Basham Brothers?! Who the hell thought those were good ideas?! I mean christ, Maven is in a pseudo tagteam with Simon Dean...aka Nova! Nova was a big part of ECW and even came out to beat on maven with the rest of the B.w.O. It was just unnecessary. Anyway, as it turns out, it wasn't all that bad. They waited till the end of the show to really turn the focus on the whole invasion thing. At least ECW got to have the last word at their own PPV. From what I hear, aside from the spat here and there it was a calm and professional atmosphere. I was however, not all that surprised to hear about JBL causing trouble...it seems there is always trouble when he is around.*cough*Go back to being Bradshaw*cough*
My only real complaint is the lack of Tazz in a prominant role on the show. We got to see all of 30 seconds of Tazz..or should I say..TAZ. I was really anticipating him whoping some ass all over the place...especially Kurt Angle's. Man, I would love to see another feud between the two of them. It would be suplexfest 2005. But, alas, Kurt Angle is now on Raw, as Smackdown continues to flounder with it's lack of starpower. Moving to Fridays next season isn't going to make it any better, as it will be constantly pre-empted by Friday Night Baseball. Anyway, back to ECW, here are some photos from the WWE website.
As you can see, it was quite the event. All from the mind of one man...
