Entry 13: WWE vs..... ECW?!?!?!?! (Part 2)

Yo!

Phew! Cut the 8pm deadline close this time! Okay, I gotta make this super-brief this time. So last week I ran a tad long in the middle of a rant about the re-emergence of the Extreme Championship Wrestling league. I just wanted to mention that from what I've read online about ECW's long-standing history of (scripted) battles against the WWE, well I just can't wait to see how this turns out. Especially considering the handful of WWE'ers who migrated over to ECW recently.

I have to set something straight here:

Admittedly, I've only been half-regularly watching this stuff since about late 2004, so I clearly can't base any rants I do on this topic on first hand viewing experience, but then, isn't that kind of research part of the reason Google was invented? Anyway, bottom line: The way things have been chaotically happening just on the parent series (Monday Raw), especially over the last thirteen months, it's gonna be really interesting to see just how "Extreme" these guys can get, since I've never seen anything ECW on-air; the original ECW show on the channel formerly known as TNN (SpikeTV, these days) ended in 2000 so this is gonna be a fresh viewpoint for me. From what I've seen of their early days though, here's hoping it doesnt turn into another Saturday Night's Main Event revival (one-shot deal, apparently). ...But that's just me.

Later!

-D.
