ECW Appreciation thread anyone?

I know there is still some who can’t get over the fact that it is not hardcoreeeeeeeeeee anymore but instead a glorified FCW, however that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Young guys like Evan, Swagger, and Kidd figure highly which is a huge relief for those of us bored of Raw pushing the same old big names. Let’s not forget a rejuvenated Christian and even Mark Henry has developed into a creditable midcard heel and of course it has the best announce team in the whole WWE. It does have it flaws such as Kozlov but its still one of the most underrated shows in the so called WWE universe. I am sure others disagree, step forward please!

It's a farm for the next generation. One that's been needed badly for years as far as the worldwide televising of it is concerned. OVW would have benefited from this years ago in my honest opinion.

But like every other WWE show at present, i've just no interest in the current product.

I'll watch when somebody like Evan Bourne has a good match. It really isn't worth going out of your way to watch.

Quite the opposite in my opinion, it's the most consistently good WWE TV show.

How will you know when he has a good match if you don't watch?

ECW is great, a one hour show (Plus ads) and its mostly wrestling. Maybe add spoilers to the thread title as that way it can be discussed each week outside the smackdown thread.

We can get a heads up about what to look out for if people see it before hitting screens here.

Theres only so much Mark Henry I can take. I normally get a heads up from yanks who will tell me what is good or ****

always has at least one good match every week and is miles ahead of the staleness of raw.

has a good mix of talented up and comers(tyson kidd,david smith,jack swagger,matt sydal) and experienced guys(finlay,christian,dreamer).

and tiffany is pretty hot too although she sounds like a four year old learning to read in every promo she delivers!(can't have brains and beauty I spose!)

Styker and matthews are great on commentary too!

an enjoyable show all round!!

Yeah I enjoy ECW. I prob watch this show the most. I don't watch Raw cos it's crap. SD is pretty good too.

Gotta love Nattie, Kidd, Christian, Finlay, Helms. Good matches, minimal boring promos. As mentioned above even Tiffany's a great GM. Thumbs up!

Theres at lest one good match per week, usually more. Amazing how that happens when you give talented wrestlers time in the ring to do what they do best.

Anyone watching ECW this week.

Shelton and Yoshi Tatsu put on a good match. Yoshi did a nice springboard move I don't remember seeing in WWE before.

I thought Yoshi was great, The springboard move was like a frogsplash of the ropes. I think WWE are just hiring him for the international aspect rather than his ability.
