Where is Boogy Man, I miss him. I think the roster could be better, but its descent. I would love to see Roadkill and C. W. Anderson come back, that would kick ass.

I'm excited to see if Kelly & Layla get drafted and if any other Divas get drafted to ECW, hopefully good Divas since ECW is travelling/merging with RAW so they can compete for the Women's Championship.

I agree i will be sad

The ECW roster has the most potential of the three drafts and if they were given more time they could be on even better matches than they already are. They've always been able to put on good matches because of the roster which is why I wish the Sci-Fi channel would at least give them another half hour, they can deal with not showing an episode of whatever crappy sci-fi show they have slotted in the 9 pm slot.

In the draft I can see ECW losing Punk which actually wouldnt be that bad. Hopefully they won't lose Miz and Morrison or if they do, hopefully they're just shipped to SmackDown so they can keep competing on ECW occassionally.

I have a feeling that ECW will probably get Finlay in the draft which would be pretty good, would love to see him wrestling and mentoring some of the younger talent and challenging Kane or Show for the ECW title. Carlito is also likely to come to ECW or SmackDown. Also, while unlikely because of his feud with Kennedy, I'd like to see Burchill in ECW because I think he'd make a really good champion.

The Boogeyman is getting his teeth replaced, and Big Daddy V is inactive due to weight loss (It's about time)

As i said before, ECW as the most entertaining roster, you can tune for just 45 minutes, and you know for sure that you will see at least 2 good matches:

This week - Bourne vs Striker and Morrison vs Punk

Last week - Bourne&Kofi vs Shelton&Nox and Punk&Kane vs Miz&Morrison

Week before - Fatal four way, the best squash match ever (Bourne vs Shelton) and the best ECW match of 2008 Punk vs Kane

In 90 minutes of RAW you get one good match and the million dollar crap, and on Smackdown you get 0 good matches (see for example this week), the only good matches you get on Smackdown are the ones with ECW guys: Kofi&Matt vs Elijah&Shelton, Matt vs Elijah, Morrison vs Punk, Punk vs Edge, Punk vs MVP.

So for now (before the draft) my favorite WWE show is definitly ECW.
If you guys don´t watch it, you don´t know what you are losing.

In the draft, they picked up Morrison, Benoit, The Miz, Big Daddy V, and The Boogeyman.

In my opinion, that made the brand a hell of a lot better.

If Benoit was still around it could have been a great brand last year and coming into this year

I think it's okay now but I think they need one or two main eventers to go along with Big Show, Kane, and if you want to count them yet; Chavo, CM Punk and Morrison. If you could send just two good talents from the other two brands to ECW and not have ECW lose much talent in return than I think it would be on par wrestling wise with the other two brands.

Last year I couldn't watch ECW.... this year it's my favourite show out of the three. Bourne, Shelton, Punk, Morrison amongst many others really are making ECW a great thing to watch. If they got two hours, tag titles and perhaps bring back the hardcore title or an X Division like title then I think it would be incredible.

I think CM Punk and Chavo could leave the ECW roster and it would still be fine, as Chavo is more a part of Smackdown and CM Punk has grown a bit too big for the pond.

But it's true, ECW has tons of great young talent. It's become the WWE's actual wrestling show, instead of Smackdown, as was the case before last year's Draft. A few tweaks, like pushing Elijah Burke more, and it could be even greater.

It doesn't draw as much as it used to, but it's more entertaining, definitely.

Sku110ne · 06-23-2008, 06:37 PM

I totally agree with what you all are saying. ECW has become my favorite WWE product. I wish that it could go at least 90 minutes. It's always good for at least two good matches, and in the past few weeks, had the best matches that week. That's why I hope the roster isn't shaken up too much. I also wish that Joey Styles could go back to announcing. I think it was criminal he didn't get to call that Benjamin/Sydal (Bourne) match, or the Punk/Morrison match from last week.
