One NIGHT Stand. Ye gods, you looked it up, didn't you? |
Or I could just go to the tape for info, seeing as... well, I ORDERED IT. It wasn't as good as last year, but it wasn't supposed to be the same kind of show. The biggest letdown was the Balls Mahoney/Masato Tanaka match, but it wasn't bad. It just didn't live up to Tanaka's match last year... but what could? As for RVD, well, I don't see him hanging on to the title for very long. WWE World Championship, not the ECW strap. He's got to legitimize that. If he makes it to Vengeance (which I'm sure he will) he's losing. Unless Edge jumps too, in which case, well, I have no idea what they'd be doing. (restricted) | (restricted) |

Another thing to point out: they're building a touring brand from, essentially, nothing. Who are their draws? RVD, maybe Sandman and Sabu. The biggest ticket is the name of ECW. So there's probably going to be some crap, obviously, and some awkwardness (get them away from the Smackdown tapings NOW) but it's a decent start, all things considered. |

Originally posted by Colin ...but why not raid DSW? And not for the shoes, either. (watches as no one gets it) C&P job from tha Torch, giving you (yes, YOU) more insight to Eee Cee Dub: Paul Heyman had fought hard for Rob Van Dam to walk out of the ring at One Night Stand with John Cena's WWE Title belt. Vince McMahon's top priority in the entire WWE company is protecting and developing John Cena. All decisions get filtered through the "How will this affect John Cena?" filter. So when McMahon was finally talked into RVD getting a win, how it happened seemed secondary. McMahon even went out of his way to be sure Rey Mysterio - who had been a losing streak on Smackdown for the past couple months - was protected against one of ECW's all-time top stars, Sabu. Rey and Sabu wrestled to a no contest, ending when Sabu did a crazy move off the ropes driving Rey head-first through a table at ringside. Doctors stopped the match. Originally, McMahon booked a double countout, but Sabu knew that would leave a bad taste in the mouths of ECW fans, and came up with the altered finish himself of having a doctor stoppage due to a huge move that took out both he and Rey. It would get across the extreme nature of the product he hoped. McMahon agreed to the finish. While at last year's One Night Stand, Paul Heyman ran the show while Vince McMahon literally sat back and took it all in, this year Vince was clearly running the show. Heyman was in a secondary role. Also, the usual WWE infrastructure was in place. The ECW wrestlers were being talked to like rookie wrestlers being introduced to the WWE world. The road agents in charge of their matches treated them like children who had never been on live TV before. The producers were micromanaging everything they did in any prerecorded segments. None of that was the case last year. Because the ECW crew had been hired full time, they weren't going to rock the boat. They had too much to lose - their jobs or their pushes - to take a stand and argue for doing things their way. To an extent, that was also true of Heyman, who as a father of two children, doesn't have the same reckless abandon and anti-authority approach to doing business anymore. He is negotiating and compromising, realizing there is only so far he can push McMahon once he has his mind set to something. Heyman has been relegated to making the best of whatever latitude McMahon gives him. Although Show beating up some smaller wrestlers on the ECW PPV reminded longtime ECW fans of 911, Show's character is not meant to be "the next 911." In fact, McMahon booked Show's segment, which originally was slated to feature Spike Dudley. Spike, though, wrestling as Brother Runt in TNA, turned down WWE's contract offer and actually tore up the real contract in the ring at a TNA house show over the weekend. Show and Heyman get along very well, and Show is excited about the chance to be better utilized by Heyman than he had been on Raw and Smackdown in recent years. Show is scheduled to feud with Kurt Angle on ECW events this summer. Big Show and Kurt Angle were not originally part of McMahon's vision for ECW, but he felt he needed to add them to the roster to show Sci Fi that he was truly serious about the new project and willing to invest major commodities in the brand. McMahon also felt they were necessary to better ensure ECW would draw good crowds this summer. The first ECW TV show had been scheduled to go live for weeks after WWE and Sci-Fi signed a TV agreement deal. However, after the ECW PPV aired, the parent company of Sci-Fi, Universal, decided the first ECW TV show would have to be taped ahead of time in order to edit any possible lewd chants. This caused the order of the Smackdown and ECW TV taping to be changed... Paul Heyman does not have creative control over the ECW TV product. The initial plan is to have only a small amount of hardcore-style stunt wrestling on the shows. However, WWE did not have a solid plan in place going into the first ECW TV taping for how to present the product... Raw will air live from Philadelphia on July 3 from the Wachovia Center as part of a Raw/Smackdown super show. ECW TV is expected to air live on July 4 from Philadelphia at the former ECW Arena... After ECW's TV taping on Tuesday, John Laurenaitis gave the ECW crew a pep talk. He told them that it seems everyone is walking on egg shells, and that it's not necessary to do so. He told them to do what they did to get over in the first place. Afterward, ECW wrestlers thought that was ironic considering their every move was being micromanaged. Sabu has had an especially frustrating time adjusting to WWE. He is used to improvising and reacting to the moment, whereas WWE has given him a list of things not to do, and wants to know ahead of time all of his big spots and when and why they happen... When Kurt Angle head-butted Justin Credible, doctors were called to ringside because his bump looked so legit. He was just selling, though, and he wasn't hurt at all. Angle, though, has been encouraged to wrestle a stiff style, and Justin was telling people he felt it in the locker room afterward... Sandman has cut back drastically on his drinking, if he drinks at all know (other than beers on camera). He has lost a lot of weight during his time away from the cameras... Ron Simmons was backstage at the ECW PPV Alfonso was backstage at the ECW PPV and at one point was slated to be part of the show, but they ended up not using him after all... Randy Orton has gotten along well with his colleagues since returning last week. He shook everyone's hand at catering and was all smiles all weekend. He was said to have loved the ECW atmosphere, as did Cena, Edge, Angle, and Show The ECW wrestlers all followed the WWE dress code without exception all week... At the Head-to-Head special last week, ECW wrestlers were given an orientation speech by McMahon and Laurenaitis. They also got a thank you speech from McMahon and Laurenaitis afterward... Pat Patterson was an agent at the Head-to-Head special and was in charge of booking the details of the ECW/WWE battle royal... Regarding McMahon's commitment to ECW, one source says: "It is terrifying for Vince to imagine ECW failing. He failed at football, but that's excusable because he's known for his wrestling genius. Failing at a wrestling project is not an option. That's why ECW will be profitable, one way or another, eventually"... John Cena has been booked as more of an edgy character lately, but there are no plans to turn him heel in the near future... WWE was conscious of making the ECW TV product feel different from the traditional Raw and Smackdown TV presentation. For the past week, there were open conversations about making the atmosphere completely different... Tazz constantly reminds people in power that his neck is in terrible condition and he is incapable of wrestling lengthy matches. The decision was made to use Lawler as quick fodder for Tazz to protect Tazz's interest as a badass character. WWE knew Lawler could get his heat back the following night on Raw commentary... ECW wrestlers are being held to the same code of conduct as wrestlers on the Raw and Smackdown roster. They are subject to drug testing and must follow the dress code.

That's because there's an extra zero. It's really in the $30000 range. Don't know the exact location, but six digit hex locations isn't how FF1 rolls. |

If they weren't already down 2-0 entering halftime, that third goal would've broken Saudi Arabia. A minute into the second, header off the free kick, boom, the keeper had no shot whatsoever. Didn't Saudi Arabia get killed dead in 2002, though? This year's probably going to be seen as an improvement. Fun fact: Saudi Arabia's one of two teams this go-around whose World Cup roster is made up of just players who play in domestic leagues. The other one kind of surprised me, but maybe it shouldn't have.

They did mention the other team during ESPN's broadcast, which I know was a HUGE help to the two of you. |
 I wouldn't be surprised if the situation changed in the near future, though, for the other team. (ahem)
SA doesn't allow their players to be sold? How do they do that? It sounded like they paid the players very well, so maybe that's it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
