For those wrestling marks out there, I am sure you are already well aware of the news that Mr. McMahon has decided to resurrect the ECW name brand and allow Paul Heyman to run it as a sort of parallel organization. All this seems to be a reaction to TNA building up steam on Spike TV, and the fact that ECW's second PPV sold out faster than anyone expected.
I for one feel like this has been a long time coming. I simply can't stand the WWE product that has been on the air for the past 3-4 years. It's tired, hackneyed, and just plain despicable. Bringing back ECW and all its stars is the exact move that professional wrestling needs. Save for the X-division in TNA (which is doing some world class work). everything else is almost unwatchable.
If you aren't familiar with ECW, I suggest you hit up you know where...YouTube and just search for some matches involving Rob Van Dam, Jerry Lynn, Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, Tazz, Mike Awesome, Super Crazy, just to name a few or if you got a few bucks to spend pick up/rent the excellent DVD "The Rise and Fall of ECW".
