For me it was Washington because he has some really good mic skills which will get him a long way in ECW. He's got a lot of options to make his name whether it be a GM a manager a wrestler on his own, hell maybe even a future commentator. But he'll be go the furthest of the bunch. I like how they debuted Yoshi cause it gave him a feud already. I have a feeling the guy is gonna get pretty over. And SOS looked really good out there. Not too sure about Reks yet will have to see how his match goes against Ryder. Overall I say this was a success. We didn't get any Braden Walkers in this bunch so far which is good, lol.
-Edge is a 10 Time World Champion.
-Rhodes/DiBiase win the IC/US Title.
-Christian wins the WWE/World Championship
-Drew McKyntire loses the IC Title.
-CM Punk wins another World Title.
-Michelle McCool loses the Women's Title.
-John Cena goes to Smackdown.
-Shelton Benjamin gets a push.
Currently Marking Out For:
Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Zach Ryder, The Miz, John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler, Christian, Jack Swagger, Mark Henry and Ezekiel Jackson

The last talent initiative Swagger and Bourne were the only ones that made it. I hope we get some results this year.

Abe Washington - The guy can bring heat, just watch his ECW stuff and is great on the mic and at being annoying. While some say he'd be a good GM but I say he'd be better off managing Benjamin.
Yoshi Tatsu.
Ive watched quite a bit of Shaemus and i really have never got the internet hype about this guy. I havnt seen any of his stuff outside of FCW however what i have seen just reminds me of the generic WWE type wrestler to me, sure he has a cape and a milk bottle complextion, but thats just not enough to get me interested. I really do hope im proven wrong though.
Yoshi is pretty good, i just wish he had changed his style before he was moved up. His striking game at the moment is quite similar to Punks, but at the same time him being there may take away from a Low Ki/Kaval call up (when he's healed). Low Ki has that unique striking offence that may be waterd down if Yoshi starts up with it IMO, and i think being a big(ish) shot in the second biggest company in the States would/should of cemented his placing a little bit more. I wish he would start using a style similar to that of someone say Masato Tanaka. Who at the time was incedibly ahead of his time in ECW for an American audiance but now i think would fit great into regular WWE programing. Just hope he doesnt continue the comedy-ish matches ive seen him in from FCW, theres already one un-funny kung-fu asain in the company.
I really dont care much for Tyler Recks. I say that could have been filled by someone like Chris Logan, who has incredible offence not seen very often, great technical skill and a good look.
Originally i thought ECW was screwed since the mini draft. After just finished watching last nights show, im sensing great things.
Yoshi Tatsu seems interesting, nice background in Japan Pro Wrestling, also worth a mention that he is also a boxer - His mixture of kicks and punches could be great
Shaemus - Ever since reading his name on this forum, i have been a fan. In full appreciation of his work in the ring and of course that nice back breaker finisher. ONE TO WATCH
Abraham Washington - Seems like such a cheesy gimmick but could work, it has proved successful in FCW. Possible new GM...
Tyler Reks - Current FCW world heavieweight champion although i havnt seen any of his work as of yet.
These new 'superstars' mixed in with the likes of Regal, Shelton etc...Bring on Tuesday Nights
Sheamus first. We all know hes awesome and Im sure he'll do well in ECW. Followed by Yoshitatsu. I like his character and but we havent seen much of him. He was good in FCW although he had to job a couple of times. Next is Tyler Reks, havent seen him wrestle yet, but he was good in FCW. And he's a good talker, like his promo with Ryder. Last is Abraham Washington. Cant understand the love for him here. That debut was horrible and I seriously think he might be in trouble. I hope it gets better the next week.
