ECW 8/8
Man this "promotion" is a total wreck. Week after week of Sandman giving cane shots, Kelly Kelly getting over more than just about any wrestler, Heyman screwing all the faces in the lockerroom with his enforcers, and then some made up type main event with a combination of Big Show, Angle, RVD, Sabu, and/or some WWE star making a one-night appearance. Let's just say that this whole train wreck has a LONG LONG LONG way to go before it can do its own PPV, which I understand is still the plan for December.
I think the effort is there for the most part, but it just seems like the chemistry and the emotion from the crowd is for the most part - not. They keep trying to recreate the hardcore ECW crowd with shots of fans chanting or wearing the t-shirts, but it just really seems forced. Maybe its the emotion of having to sit through a Smackdown taping along with the ECW taping, or maybe its just that no one really cares about these guys.
Looks like after this show they can go one of two directions for Summerslam - Show vs Sabu & RVD vs Angle - or a fatal four way with all 4 guys. I think they will go with the latter, and save the Sabu vs Show for a later ECW show. Hopefully with the return of RVD the promotion will get some energy. Otherwise I think the clock is ticking as to when this nightmare promotion will end.
