Just thought you guys might...

[Guest Mr Kennedy]

...be interested to see this. In particular the part about the 'King of the Indies' CM Punk. It's off ecwwrestlingnews.com by the way..

 

Here is the current group of talent that is expected to be a part of the new ECW project that will debut next month.

 

Rob Van Dam, The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Al Snow, Axl Rotten, Balls Mahoney, Francine, Jazz, C.W. Anderson, Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke are expected to be full time performers for the ECW project.

 

Terry Funk, Masato Tanaka, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Mikey Whipwreck and Joel Gertner will be making part time appearances in ECW.

 

Several developmental wrestlers from Ohio Valley Wrestling and Deep South Wrestling will eventually be used for this new ECW project. CM Punk is one individual who is line for a big push in the new ECW.

 

Other wrestlers who may be brought to ECW include Roadkill, Kid Kash, Super Crazy, Justin Credible (if he doesn't stay with the MTV project) and Lance Storm (he may work select dates, but not full-time.).

 

The play-by-play announcer will be Joey Styles. The ring announcer will be Steven DeAngelis. The bookers will be Paul Heyman, Tommy Dreamer and possibly Smackdown's Ed Koskey on a part time basis.

hmm maybe this ECW is good for WWE because it gives them an outlet for guys they don't want to push

 

look at RVD, i'd expect him to get a good push here for the ECW title or something, becasue he's mega over in the WWE but HHH and co don't like him, so this is their way of offloading him

 

 

if Punk is going to be in ECW doesn't that just make ECW the new development territory for WWE, or maybe WWE just don't want to let Punk go to TNA but don't want him on WWE TV so this isthere way of offloading him without loosing him

I really hope they sign Awesome up! I loved his music at ONS, was that his normal ECW music? You may be able to tell that I didnt watch much ECW :)

Taz and others had real songs altered to be more associated with them.....but Mike had his written for him........

 

 

OH...and it's called "Awesomebomb"....

Soooooooooo... maybe that theory of RVD using his MitB contract for the ECW title wasn't so farfetched?

When he started yes....but he then had Awesomebomb written for him, which is what he used at ONS.

[Guest rawiswar]

Al Snow huh? Shame, I would of actually liked to see him return on RAW with the head gimmick, all of a sudden the HEAD music comes on, and I would mark out like hell. Reminds me of the Attitude era heh..
