JuulDK Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hey guys, I'm planning on starting a diary where I introduce ECW back into WWE. What I plan on doing is make a bunch of NXT call ups and I'm also considering some hirings and firings, and then do a complete draft. I'm also planning on putting the diary on youtube, but the diary-part makes it easier to go more in-depth. I even thought about using WWE 2k18 for pics, but I don't know if that could work. Now here's where I need your help. First, who would you guys recommend hiring from OUTSIDE WWE to put in a MODERN DAY ECW roster? Secondly, who would you guys recommend to possibly spice up the 205 Live division, and who would you personally cut? And finally, which of these would you personally prefer? 1: Start it the day after Survivor Series, and then make a short backstory explaining how? 2: Keep gimmicks and stuff like like that as it is right now in real life, but start the game on the day after a Mania so that it starts from Day One-Ish? 3: Start it after WrestleMania 34, and then make a longer and more in-depth backstory? Of course, IF I go with either 1 or 3, I could choose to not do a complete draft, but just introduce the ECW roster when ECW premieres, and then maybe make some trades/drafts between RAW and SmackDown and call ups from NXT Thanks guys 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defmall Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Check out the current Pro Wrestling Guerilla (PWG) roster. Some of their alumni recently made it into WWE, but there are a lot of guys there who I think you'd like on your ECW roster. They're athletic, their gutsy and depending on how "real" you are going you can look at them as guys who have entertained the fans for years without making it to the Bigs.

stevie20 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Jimmy Havoc , The Briscoes , The UK Hooligans Zak & Roy Knight (Paige's Brothers) . Marty The Moth . Guys like RVD & Dreamer for the ECW originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedder Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Sami Calihan and maybe Drake Younger woud be great for ECW, and I'd like to see Mike Bailey and Will Ospreay in 205 Live. Ricochet, Matt Sydal and Trent Beretta would be great too. You could probably use the likes of Brian Cage and Michael Elgin in ECW too, and there must be a couple of crazy Japanese knocking about, someone like NOSAWA Rongai.

AfRoMaN36 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 <p>I've tried this myself as a developmental. </p><p> </p><p> I'd go with option 3. Have Joey as announcer, Have Heyman as commentator or as GM.</p><p> </p><p> RVD, Sabu, Dreamer, Dudleyz and Rey Jr are still solid in ring. Keep them around to build the roster around them. Maybe have some smaller named ECW originals to use as jobbers and lend credibility. Then beyond that just sign a bunch of internet darlings. Raid ROH/Chikara. Get the Young Bucks, Briscoe Brothers, Chuck Taylor, Colt Cabana, American Alpha, etc. </p><p> </p><p> ECW today would essentially be a raunchier version of nXt. Go nuts with that idea.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
