Kenny and Nicky would actually fit in very well into the ECW model. They smack of the pretty boy WWE favorites that are 'too good' for ECW. They'd be a top heel team for sure, getting worked over by the Originals and given the 'Mutant Stamp of Approval' ala the Impact Players.

As for 2006 guys I don't have the database, but...

I did a game years ago, where they were sent to WWECW by Vince to keep an eye on Paul and the originals, so I was thinking something like that. Feels like the making of the most hated heels they could be, and fits how they were particularly at that stage of their career. The Spirit Squad past serving as something for the fans/faces to get under their skin about.

I see you don't have Yoshihiro Taijiri around? You could bring him in possibly, and use him in-dynasty to keep an eye on Japanese talents to bring in? Someone like Mammoth Sasaki would have been the ECW version of Takeshi Morishima for ROH had it stuck around long enough. And he's got the Masato Tanaka history in FMW so yeah, Sasaki would have been aces.

And there's never anything wrong with having the Sinister Minister around...

Kid Kash is another ECW junior who could work well opposite some of the New Breed dudes.

Sylvester Terkay as a Dan Severn type could work well, and he was briefly in ECW IRL.

Paul Burchill had a terrible WWE career OTL, and OVW's 'Jack the Ripper' could be much better off under Paul Heyman's purview. Especially since I recall hearing he was basically pushed hard on the nascent UK scene in the early 2000s as their version of Brock Lesnar. And as much as I hated that angle, ECW is probably the only product that could do the incest tease with Katie Lea Burchill. I can hear the Mutants scream 'Sister-F'er' even now.

Speaking of guys that left the WWE around this time, Christian Cage and Rhino would be surefire stars to bring in.

As for TNA, Abyss would be one, and Monty Brown and Ron Killings seem tailor-made for ECW given their particular presentation over substance styles. And of course, Samoa Joe makes perfect sense for an ECW-style product. Most everyone else feels too southern.

Also, if we're talking 2006? Then WSX recruits come to mind, like Judas Mesias or Mickie Knuckles come to mind. And WSX had Dragon Gate guys on their roster, so maybe you can snatch a few DG guys on excursion or something?

Some of those are definitely on the radar, while some are less familiar to me. Will definitely check them out. I am looking to watch matches of anyone I sign from around that time, because sometimes I'll fall into the habit of booking somebody as if they're at their peak, when in 2006, that isn't the case for many of them. Will definitely check out Sasaki and Burchill (if I can find any of his early work). Thanks a lot, I think plenty of those guys will be in ECW at some point, some pretty soon, and anothers further down the line.

On a side note, are you thinking of doing ECW pay-per-views? The standard ones are Guilty as Charged, Living Dangerously, Hardcore Heaven, Heat Wave, Anarchy Rulz, and November to Remember. I feel like it would make more sense to have the ECW Championship and Dreamer/Siaki matches on a larger show than just an episode of CyberSlam.

Down the line, definitely. I just don't think we have the roster for it yet. I could see a December to Dismember level disaster if I tried one now. I wrote out a card at one point, and it just wasn't strong enough beyond two or three matches. I agree about needing a bigger stage for a title match particularly, and that episode will be a live special (possibly two hour special) and will be the first CyberSlam outside of the Arena. I'm looking to build up the Hammerstein Ballroom return, in hopes it makes the show feel special. I'm thinking the first ppv will be in the summer (I have a main event pencilled in, though plans change ). Hopefully matches like Dreamer/Siaki being on TV and getting built as main event level can help establish more of those new people, but even when we run ppvs, I'm going to look to limit it to 4-6 per year. With an hour of TV/online content per week, I don't feel we will be the position to run monthly ppvs, and after only two months of CyberSlam, I wasn't ready for one. Because of that, and wanting to crown a champion as soon as possible, the first title match will be on CyberSlam.

Happy to have been of service.

Mammoth Sasaki would be the guy I'd be super curious to see you take on. He's probably got a fair catalogue of stuff on rutube or elsewhere that you can find, though mostly multimans given the nature of Japan.

Burchill I imagine will be fairly difficult. The 2000s UK days aren't much to speak of and weren't exactly tape-trader heaven from what I surmise. A lot of fake WWF wrestling went on in those days, so that might have inflated the early careers of guys like Burchill or Doug Williams. Speaking of which, Doug Williams and Nigel McGuiness would be pretty good for ECW. A replacement for Dean Malenko in Doug and for Mikey Whipwreck for Nigel (I kid!).

I've found a few matches I will definitely watch of his, but from reading a bit about him I'm definitely intrigued. I was hoping I could find some OVW stuff of Paul Burchill, but there's only a couple of things I can see. Either way, thanks again. Doug & McGuinness are on the shortlist, I'm a big fan of both.

The cocky, stocky New Breed powerhouse made his ECW debut with an attack on Tommy Dreamer, and has targeted “The Innovators of Violence” ever since. While Siaki himself has had nothing to say, it has been made clear by his fellow “revolutionary” Homicide that Sonny’s intention is to end the career of Tommy Dreamer. Anybody who knows Tommy, will know that he doesn’t go down easily. While Sonny Siaki is one of the greatest athletes to ever step foot in an ECW ring, Dreamer is a fighter. Whether that will be enough, considering that Dreamer can’t possibly be at 100%, remains to be seen, but after the nightmare that has been the first two months of ECW’s return… Tommy Dreamer has no choice but to fight for the company that he helped put on the map!</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Looking towards next week’s ECW World Championship match from the Hammerstein Ballroom, CM Punk, Rob Van Dam and Steve Corino will all make an appearance on the show, with Paul Heyman inviting all three contenders to the ring.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Also appearing, Stevie Richards will be in action, a week after his shocking attack on “The Shooter” Brent Albright.

This loss is a pretty big storyline setback for them, given that they've been trying to prove for weeks that they're the new top guys in wrestling. Let's hope they can be built back up with time. A tip about the RVD/Sabu match; that match underperformed because you had it set as a Car Crash match. A Car Crash match should go for at most 12 minutes.

Low-Ki's good performances have only helped secure that, and long-term they're definitely vital to my plans.

Episode #8:

Hashasheen · July 31, 2019

Nice little push for Stevie Richards, who was probably one of several ECW talents in the 1990s who was too early for the industry. The kind of guy who without his injuries would have been a big name in the early 2000s independent scene, rather than just a comedy guy in WWE.

Speaking of ROH, Guido Maritato is someone I'd almost rather see in singles competition... at least once you have the new tag teams ready to go.

And man, this was not a good week for ratings. Thank goodness you have Paul Heyman to bump up an angle.

ECW 2006: The Story So Far

Month #2:

Winner’s Club Conclusion...

Returning to the ECW Arena for the second month of CyberSlam episodes, the focus of the next four weeks was the “ECW World Championship Winner’s Club”. Down to just eight potential contenders at the beginning of the month, that group was whittled down throughout the month. When Roadkill and Elijah Burke lost to Low-Ki and CM Punk respectively, the “Winner’s Club” was down to just 6 contenders, now dubbed “The Championship Six”.

Paul Heyman would announce that three of those six would get the chance to challenge for the ECW World Championship, as CyberSlam headed for a live episode at the Hammerstein Ballroom. To decide those three, all six members of the “Winner’s Club” would be paired off into three matches, each to be contested on the most stacked show since ECW returned. Those matches were as follows:

CM Punk vs. Low-Ki

Brent Albright vs. Steve Corino

Rob Van Dam vs. Sabu

Three significant matches, beyond just the title implications, the 7th episode of ECW CyberSlam stood out above all others during the month. In the night’s opener, CM Punk and Low-Ki put in star making performances, with Punk prevailing in the match of the night. Brent Albright looked to secure the second “New Breed” place in the ECW World Championship match, only to be shockingly attacked by Stevie Richards. As a result, Steve Corino joined CM Punk in booking a ticket to the Hammerstein Ballroom, with Rob Van Dam defeating his close friend Sabu for the final place. With the night over, the Main Event for ECW’s return to the Hammerstein Ballroom was set, CM Punk vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Steve Corino for the ECW World Championship!

The story wasn’t over there however, as the New Breed revolutionaries group, led by Homicide, still wanted to have their say on the fate of the World Championship. Looking to get CM Punk on board, as he prepared to face two ECW Originals, Homicide told Punk that he just had to say the word, and they’d ensure him victory in World Championship match. CM Punk turned down the offer, but as Episode #8 of CyberSlam came to a close, Rob Van Dam was found out cold in the back. The first person on the scene? CM Punk…

Beyond the build to the title match, CyberSlam also saw the blow off to a particularly brutal rivalry, as Tommy Dreamer went one on one with Sonny Siaki. Siaki, who had cost Dreamer his second match in the new ECW, later caused him to sit on the sidelines. Something Dreamer would never do by choice, the anger of “The Innovator of Violence” grew week by week, to the point that he even threatened his long-term personal friend Paul Heyman. Eventually Dreamer was cleared to compete, and despite his associates suggesting he avoided Sonny Siaki at all costs, Tommy was ready to fight! The match saw Dreamer dominated, with Siaki having vowed to end his career for daring to step up to him. However, as Siaki looked close to achieving his goal, Balls Mahoney made his first appearance since One Night Stand 2005, hitting Siaki with a Steel Chair. This involvement allowed Dreamer to pick up his first victory since ECW returned, ending what he had described as a “nightmare two months”.

While the first month of ECW’s return had definitely belonged to that group made up of Homicide, Low-Ki, Sonny Siaki and Xavier, the Originals had undoubtedly fought back throughout the last four weeks, and proved they still belonged in ECW. With none of those “Revolutionaries” involved in the upcoming ECW World Championship match, and their only hopes of securing the title hinging on a change of heart from CM Punk, the Hammerstein Ballroom shows present a crossroads for the future direction of that group, and for the whole of ECW…

One thing that is for sure, is that CM Punk, Rob Van Dam or Steve Corino will lead this new era, as the first

new

ECW World Champion!<hr color=black>

Also This Month…

Trent Acid & Johnny Kashmere made their ECW debuts during the month, first in a defeat to Rob Van Dam and Sabu, and then in a victory over The F.B.I.
Al Snow set fire to the mannequin head that has accompanied him to the ring for many years, blaming “her” for his recent failures. Shockingly, just a week after he set fire to “Head”, it returned, charred and scorched, after he scored a victory over.
The rivalry between The F.B.I and Roadkill & Danny Doring continued, the last two Tag Team Champions of the old ECW being led by their valets Trinity and Shelly Martinez.
Stevie Richards explained his attack of Brent Albright, dubbing himself “The Gatekeeper of ECW”. He said that for years “up and comers” have passed him by on their way to the top. From the moment he attacked Brent Albright, that was over!

Nice little push for Stevie Richards, who was probably one of several ECW talents in the 1990s who was too early for the industry. The kind of guy who without his injuries would have been a big name in the early 2000s independent scene, rather than just a comedy guy in WWE.

Speaking of ROH, Guido Maritato is someone I'd almost rather see in singles competition... at least once you have the new tag teams ready to go.

And man, this was not a good week for ratings. Thank goodness you have Paul Heyman to bump up an angle.

Yeah, not sure how far it will go, but his size compared to the rest of the roster is definitely worth something. I think him working as a serious, relative powerhouse works and he suits the bitter gatekeeper role quite well. Gives Brent Albright a solid mid level rivalry to be getting on with too.

Guido's performances do deserve a singles run, but I am trying to slowly build a tag team division. It's a bit tricky, as he is one of the few guys I can reasonable expect to get a pretty good rating in every match, so he should be better utilised.

When it comes to booking in the actual game, I'm really bad. Like you say, Heyman (and a couple of others) are really saving this return from being a complete flop. Next week's show is considerably better though, I suppose that happens when your Main Event goes from being Tommy Dreamer vs. Sonny Siaki to CM Punk vs. RVD vs. Steve Corino...

ECW.com Preview - Episode #9 of ECW CyberSlam

Previous Episode:

ECW returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom for a live episode of CyberSlam, where the first World Champion since the company's resurrection will be crowned!

Two months after "The Tribe of Extreme" rose again, CM Punk, Rob Van Dam and Steve Corino will battle it out for the vacant ECW World Championship, the final three members of the ECW "Winner's Club" that originally included the entire roster. That comes to an end this Saturday, as one man remains undefeated and takes the title home with him...

Going into the match, there had been question marks over the status of Rob Van Dam, who was jumped at the conclusion of last week's CyberSlam, but he has since been confirmed as fit to compete. While there were no witnesses to the attack, The New Breed "revolutionaries" unsurprisingly emerged as suspects, as well as the man first on the scene, CM Punk. Despite Punk making it clear he had no intention of accepting an offer from the Homicide led group on last week's show, suspicion has been raised, after they "guaranteed" to secure him the ECW World Championship. Those question marks will remain, only to be answered this Saturday, as ECW CyberSlam is live from the Hammerstein Ballroom!

The action isn't just limited to the Main Event however, as the ECW Originals finally square off against those New Breed "revolutionaries", a violent and personal rivalry that will come to a head on CyberSlam. Leading the Originals, Tommy Dreamer picked up a victory over Sonny Siaki last week, bringing an end to a "nightmare" two months since ECW returned. Having lost ground in the last month, Homicide, Low-Ki, Sonny Siaki and Xavier will treat this match just as importantly as the Originals, and will be desperate to prove that their vision of the

ECW can be realised. A clash of generations, and of pro-wrestling philosophies, something has to give... in what promises to be a violent and bloody affair - only on ECW.com!<hr>

I wonder how soon we'll have the TV and Tag Titles revived, if that is in the plan. Then again, since the show is online, it would probably be the Internet Title instead of the TV Title. <img alt="

ECW.com Preview - Episode #10 of ECW CyberSlam

Previous Episode:

Last week on CyberSlam, ECW crowned their first World Champion since the company was resurrected, as Rob Van Dam defeated CM Punk and Steve Corino to win the title. Live from the Hammerstein Ballroom, Rob Van Dam finally won the Championship which eluded him throughout his ECW career, and will be officially presented with the title this week by Paul Heyman. Despite holding the Championship in his arms last week, Rob Van Dam handed the title back over to the “ECW Chief”, who told RVD that it would be his “greatest honour” to be able to officially hand over the title to the Champion!

That’s not all that is scheduled for CyberSlam, as CM Punk issued a challenge to any member of the “New Breed Revolutionaries”, in a confrontation that took place just moments after his defeat last week. The heated confrontation will air on this week’s show, before Punk looks to take out some of his frustrations on Homicide, Low-Ki, Sonny Siaki or Xavier. Of course, CM Punk isn’t the only one with a chip on his shoulder, as Brent Albright looks for revenge on Stevie Richards, three weeks after the self-proclaimed “Gatekeeper of ECW” cost him his chance at the ECW World Championship.

The other match on the night sees Danny Doring and Roadkill team with Shelly Martinez (despite her being seen with Johnny Swinger last week), against The Full Blooded Italians. A rivalry that goes back and includes the final two teams to hold the ECW Tag Team Championships back in 2001, both will look to prove themselves in the definitive match between the two sides.

With that, and much more reaction to the crowning of the first

I wonder how soon we'll have the TV and Tag Titles revived, if that is in the plan. Then again, since the show is online, it would probably be the Internet Title instead of the TV Title.

They will be brought in down the line, with the TV title definitely on it's way soon. The tag team titles will also be back, but first we need a few decent teams. With a few pre-established, some we've thrown together and those left to come in, I'd hope to see the tag team titles back sooner rather than later.

Oddly, the fact we're not on TV didn't cross my mind when planning for the introduction of the Television Championship. It's a good point, but I'm not sure the world is ready for an Internet Championship in 2006 .
