The "you take steroids" chant to Test was pretty funny too. I think it's to the point that unless you are a fatass that people will think steroids and HGH when they see someone muscular.

[quote name='Bezerker']God, and this week they're gonna have Sandman beating up another indy dressed up as a Preacher?[/QUOTE]
Little bit of trivia: That's the same dude who was "Macho Libre" a few weeks ago, Tony DeVito.
He was also on of "Da Baldies" in the latter days of ECW, so if they were gonna have a dude come out and say "this is the first ECW show I've been to," they might want to pick someone who ISN'T in the shitty ECW video games. It's not as if the world is desperately in need of people who want to get caned for a couple hundred bucks on national tv.
I want to continue to hate RVD and Sabu for
ing this all up for themselves. It was no small surprise that RVD dropped the belt. It isn't RVD's fault that the champion is now The Big Show, and that ECW is resurrecting the ONE ING STORYLINE THAT WWE'S USED SINCE THE GODDAMNED YEAR 1997; "the evil owner" storyline.
We have it on Raw, we have it on ECW, and we probably have it on SmackDown (if I watched it more than once a month I'd have a better idea).
RVDed up big time; that's fine. DON'T PUNISH US, G'DAMMIT!
The *only* thing worth watching on ECW is the crowd. Test squashing Al Snow? The Vanilla Express Mike Knox squashing Guido? Big Show pinning RVD? Contrary to Paul Heyman's declaration at this year's ONS ("This isn't Monday Night Raw; This isn't Friday Night Smackdown; This is E-C-W!"), it is *preingcisely* Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown.
Even seeing CM Punk doesn't cheer me up, since we know he's just gonna job to Mike Knox, or Vader, or Yokozuna, or whatever WWE throwback they toss into the realm of Extreme.
I can't even be entertained by Sandman's segments because they're so derivative and predictable. Devito was just stammering on the mic out there, getting no heat whatsoever, and just being awful. Not in "I wanna see the Sandman beat his ass" awful, but "crickets chirping six thousand miles away" awful. The only redeeming point of that segment? The grin on Sandman's face that sez "I get paid $75,000 a year to cane a guy on the ass four times a week! Boo-YA!"
Let me also point out that I would bet both my kidneys that Vince McMahon himself put the kibosh on Sandman's smoking. He was puffing away at ONS, and never once since then. I'm not a fan of smoking, but jesus, the sandman is so neutered it's hilarious.
If RVD gets suspended for violating the drug policy, I can identify a person (their name rhymes with "Test") who would also fail a piss test.
I was hit in the face with a quarter (or a rock) at an ECW show. I'm not a fan of people throwing shit in the ring. However, it's totally appropriate for a reaction to this. The fans aren't to be punished for RVDing up, and I don't think the WWE writers know that. The camera angles intentionally avoiding shots showing the shit in the ring (save for one good one) show that they didn't want you to see that either. Lazy good for nothing crowd didn't storm the ring.
"YOUR NEW ECW CHAMPION, THE BIG SHOW!" Let that one sink in for a few minutes. Jesus Hing Christ.
9 more weeks folks, and the experiment ends. I recommend an abortion, since it's within the first trimester. Put "Four-Tittied Lusty Blue Girls in Space" back on tv instead.

Oh, it's a storyline now.[/QUOTE]
C'mon it is not like this is unexpected. Hell they did the same thing to bag shitter claiming Angle broke his freakin ankle.
Now lets see what Sabu gets.
Edit: With that said, this storyline makes no sense. What is stopping RVD from taking his ball and going home and heading back to Raw? Hell I could see it now, RVD comes out and says "ECW is dead to me," and he wants revenge for losing the WWE title.

It took me a second to decipher "bag shitter" into "Randy Orton."
At any rate, you all are a crafty bunch. I fully expect a YTMND of Heyman getting plastered with that water bottle (tho' he did a graceful job of not selling it at all). Maybe a cute internets caption like "HEYM-OWNED!" I have faith that you can do it.

this. I figured RVD was gonna drop it tonight, but Big Show? The most extreme thing he's done is throw Stone Cold through a cage... what, 8 years ago maybe? I'm not sure if it's worth my time and bandwidth to grab ECW and watch this....I know I'll do it anyway.

Sorry but everytime my friend and I talk about Orton somehow him shitting in a bag always gets mentioned. That and one of us always does the Undertaker's voice when he said "Randy Orton, your going to hell!" Everytime the Undertaker tries to be serious I cannot help but laugh.
Edit: Scorch thanks for posting a link to the grocery store fight. I could not find it the other day, and my friend and I wanted to watch it.

RVD has been
from WWE.com
and a picture of a very pregnant Stephanie
suspended for 30 days.
Moments after screwing Rob Van Dam out of the ECW Championship, Paul Heyman gave the following statement to ECW.com:
“As of this moment, Rob Van Dam has been suspended for 30 days.”
I approached Heyman immediately as he came backstage following the match to ask him why he screwed Van Dam. Heyman only smiled and offered the above statement. I followed him to ask him why RVD was suspended and why he was screwed out of the ECW Championship…but he only walked faster. When I finally got to his office door, Heyman slammed the door in my face.
Unfortunately, what should have been RVD’s holiday weekend homecoming went from bad to worse to downright horrible. On Monday morning, everything seemed cool as RVD walked into the Wachovia Center as both the ECW and WWE Champion; Tuesday night, however, he left the building with no gold and no job for a month.
After losing the WWE Championship to Edge in a Triple Threat Match on RAW, RVD also lost his ECW Championship to Big Show live on ECW on Sci Fi Tuesday night. With the referee down, Van Dam seemingly had the match won after a Five-Star Frog Splash. Paul Heyman went to count the pinfall like he did at One Night Stand…but before he got to three, Heyman stopped and stared at RVD.
Van Dam looked like he had just lost his best friend, and as he and Heyman did some jaw jacking, Big Show recovered. He spun Rob around and nailed him with a chair, and after a vicious chokeslam on that same chair, ECW had a new champion. And now, with the suspension levied by Heyman, it looks like RVD won’t have a chance to right the wrong he has been handed.

I called it in the last thread. With Angle healing, and RVD and Sabu blazin', the only big name star they have left in ECW is Big Show. The only other guy you might be able to put the belt on right now and have it mean something is Dreamer and thats it. I mean, look at the roster...
http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/extremists/
Even with RVD and Sabu it still needed more punch. They will probably have to bring a couple more guy from Raw or Smackdown now.
I am probably the only guy who thinks Test in ECW is a good idea but I think he will work out if ECW survives the summer.

Well said. The whole show is just awful. Where to start...Kelly and Mike Knox just don't work together. At all. Mike Knox is a waste, as bland as can be, and it makes no sense that he would wait for Kelly to take her clothes off before running out there to bring her in the back.
Test? In ECW? Isn't this the same guy who repeatedly bashed Vince and put up the front of never being willing to go back to work for him? I could be wrong there, but I'm almost positive that was what I had read.
And then the new "champion"...Big Show is not welcome on my TV set. EVER! The guy is slow as hell, and 90% of his offense consists of the good ol' combo of punches and headbutts. MMM, exciting! This thing is dead...

It was fifteen seconds long, if that. It's good to see that he's going to keep his gimmick and his name. I've known plenty of straight edge assholes, but very few vampires, kings, cheerleaders, samoan aborigines, cubans, cowboys, porn stars, boogeymen, 400lb black ex-goths, leprechauns, pirates, or bald cross-dressing wops, to name a few.
I look forward to him being a heel. They really ought to have Sandman put him over in his first major feud. They could cross Raven's name off the old ROH script and throw in Sandman's name. It's a genius rivalry, Raven is easily replaced by another pseudo-legendary drunk/partier, it's 1000 times more true to life than any other storyline on WWE tv currently, and it's not like any more than eight people watch ROH to begin with. And, the cynical take of course, is that WWE has no problems recycling storylines that have been happening every Monday and Friday for 5-7 years, so why not plagiarize one that happened 2-4 years ago?
Besides, it looks like Punk's gonna be a bad guy (given that he touted his sXe side). Sandman's perfect for the role, and has enough stature to really put Punk over the top.
The biggest shame about Punk? Knowing who Vince's son-in-law is, you ain't *NEVER* gonna see a Pepsi Plunge on WWE tv. NEVER. You're more likely to see The Big Show pull off a corkscrew plancha.

Up in smoke
Thats where my money goes
In my lungs
and sometimes up my nose
When troubled times
Begin to bother me
I take a toke
and all my cares
Go up in smoke
Up in smoke
Donde todos es mi rey
There are no signs
Que dice no fumer
So I roll un "bomber"
Y me doy, un buen toke-ay
Y despues I choke
Y todos mis cares
Go up in smoke
Come on let's go get high
Up in smoke
That's where I wanna be
'Cause when I'm high
The world below
Don't bother me
When life begins
To be one long
and dangerous road
I take a toke
and all my cares
Go up in smoke

The biggest shame about Punk? Knowing who Vince's son-in-law is, you ain't *NEVER* gonna see a Pepsi Plunge on WWE tv. NEVER. You're more likely to see The Big Show pull off a corkscrew plancha.[/QUOTE]
That 15 seconds would have made the show for me though. Hes one of the few people in wrestling now that evokes any type of emotion from me. I'm also glad he got to keep his name and his gimmick. The fued with Sandman would be the appropriate thing but lets be honest here this is the WWE, i dont give their creative team that much credit.
Its been discussed over and over but all the WWE is doing right now is recycling ideas from the past... everything they have been doing is a rehash and its boring. In fact i cant think of a single circumstance going on in the wwe storylines thats not been done before.
I loved the pepsi plunge and im in total agreement that we'll never see it from him while in ecw. If i remember correctly Triple H doesnt like CM Punk to begin with. He used a Anaconda Vice in his dark match with CW Anderson so my guess would be thats going to be his finisher. With Sabu more than likely gone, Punk will be the only reason for me to turn into ECW. I just hope he gets pushed and not buried.
I look forward to him being a heel. They really ought to have Sandman put him over in his first major feud. They could cross Raven's name off the old ROH script and throw in Sandman's name. It's a genius rivalry, Raven is easily replaced by another pseudo-legendary drunk/partier, it's 1000 times more true to life than any other storyline on WWE tv currently, and it's not like any more than eight people watch ROH to begin with.

I doubt they'll dump Sabu. First offense, bebe. They set up the policy not so they could flippantly fire people at will, but to protect themselves on the business end as well as the wrestlers on the performance end.
While I don't think that the policy will be handled fairly (e.g., I doubt that Triple H or HBK would get the same punishment as Eugene or Gene Snitsky for the same offense), I do think that they are trying to be smart business-wise too. RVD is too popular, and they have done a helluva job getting Sabu over, to let them go.
There was a Sabu promo last night, and no mention of him otherwise. It was preproduced, so if they really wanted to shitcan him, or if they were even entertaining the idea, they wouldn't have run that video at all. They'd give Kelly thirty more seconds to clumsily dance.
Neither or them will be fired. At the end of the day, the hardest thing to remember, and given what they show on TV, I *know* this is a hard pill to swallow, WWE, be it Raw, SmackDown, or ECW, exists to make money. I don't know WHY they seem to intentionally undercut their product the way they do (but hey, admit it; you're thrilled that Edge got the WWE belt at least), but those are the decisions they make. Fifteen minutes culminating in poop being dumped on the bad guys? Well, if that's the way they wanna do things.
Also, while super wrestling nerds such as ourselves THINK we're a large majority of the crowd, we're not. There are a lot more balding, bucktoothed ne'er-do-well yokels who buy foam fingers and guffaw "I like to see DX poop on Mr. McMahon! HURRRRRR!" In addition, the super-nerd crowd complains and complains and complains, and makes idles threat after idle threat after idle threat about no longer watching. You know what? Not a single person has ever made good on that. They take us for granted because they should, because we're the abused spouse that comes back for more, time and time again. They don't have to change aing thing, since we're not going anywhere, no matter if the program has no wrestling matches on it at all.
'tis a shame, really. I really think that WWE could rethink their whole strategy, brainstorm on how to make the product "classier" in terms of storylines, character depth, and so on. Their presentation is top-notch, the directing excellent. The writing and the matches (the meat of the meat and potatoes) are shit, and meant to be shit. They seem to intentionally aim low, and alienate better educated and wealthier segments of the population (it is fact that pro wrestling viewers are paid less and more poorly educated than the average TV viewer; you *did* know that, right?). They could make a lot more money in ad revenue if they aimed higher. Get beer commercials, get car commercials. Video games, motor oil, and Aqua Velva aren't where ad revenue is. If they wouldn't write bullshit, they wouldn't be treated like bullshit, and they could make more money in the process.
Instead, they decide that wallowing in the putrescence (thanks for teaching me that word, Warrior!) of scatalogical humor is where they belong. Shame, really, that they decide to make less money than they could.
EDIT: Jesus, I'm full on tangents today. I got the TNA vs ROH No Mercy mod running on my computer (slow day at work).ing amazing! I'm just simming matches to see how it runs right now. I've got to config a controller sooner than later.
BTW, has anyone other than Punk used the Anaconda Vice? The only other wrestler I can think of is Hiroyoshi Tenzan, but I mean in the states has anyone used it?

OJ's secret taboo was also under 18, and travelling with him. A "twink," if you will.
The mockery continues.
[quote name='PWInsider.com']For those who have asked why certain matches are listed as "ECW Rules" on events when the shows are ECW shows, the reason is that from this point on, all ECW matches are to be treated as if they are under WWE rules, with the exceptions of matches that are advertised otherwise.[/quote]Alright, so at least we'll still have the ECW atmosphere, right?

But everyone under the sun knows that Velocity is nothing but jobber matches so nobody tunes in. With ECW... at least we got the name to be hyped up over. That does account for something now doesn't it.

[quote name='Bezerker']What i really find funny is that they'll fire a wrestler for being openly bisexual, but not for being in possession of ILLEGAL narcotics.

WWE responds to charges against RVD and Sabu
By Ed Williams III
July 5, 2006
World Wrestling Entertainment earlier this week announced it was investigating five violations, including drug possession, levied against Rob Van Dam and Sabu by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. WWE announced today that based on information gathered over the past few days, Van Dam has been suspended without pay for 30 days and Sabu has been fined $1000. These actions are consistent with the Wellness Policy at WWE.

I think a worse punishment is dropping both belts one after the other on consecutive nights and looking like a huge chump.

Yeah, i'm not gonna believe this untill i see it from a few sources... I don't want to believe that ECW was punishment for Angle, but maybe it was. And maybe he did something while in ECW that warrants a suspension. I know he's been wrestling hurt, so maybe he had some pain pills or something. I really hope this isnt the case because Angle has been a favorite of mine for a longtime. Even if it was pain killers, that wouldn't change how i feel about him.

Both.
1) When I think of people being punished by moving I automatically think of "punishment" Orton and Nitro/Melina got by being moved to Raw. Look at Orton being "punished" by being put in a program with Hogan and Nitro's horrible "punishment" of becoming the IC champ.
2) It's pretty well known that Kurt is taking some well deserved time off to rest. Just because he didn't rush back to ECW to take the title from RVD doesn't mean he is all of the sudden in trouble for something. ECW is not in the same type of predicament Smackdown was in.

Either that or Smackdown is, for them to move Angle back so fast.
But dosen't Batista come back this Friday? Batista, Booker, Rey, and Angle on the same show might actually get me to start watching again. Hell, I'm watching this Fri just for Batista's return.
I think the last time I watched Smackdown was when Batista vacated the title and left. Got a feeling we're going to see Rey vs Batista for the gold if Rey still has it... I called that happening a long time ago.
Former friends, now fighting over the gold in matches of respect... it could be decent.

That Angle suspension is weird though.
You know HHH had a shit-eating grin on his face when RVD got areested though. He had his little issues with RVD in the past and RVD finally breaks through with the WWE and pretty much flushes it down the toilet.
TNA is seriously looking better, even with Jarrett right now.
Dammit, Booker T deserves the big belt more than anyone in WWE now.
