Really love the slow build approach to Funk/Dreamer, it's refreshing to not be rushing this one. We can really feel Tommy's internal emotional struggle. That's brillant storytelling. When Dreamer finally breaks free from his emotions and kick the sh*t out of Funk this will be a HUGE moment

 

The dynamic between Raven & Jake is also mad interesting

 

Keep up the good work my friend!

Nice show! Raven and Roberts makes for such a unique/mind-meld type team. I love it.

 

I have to come clean about Jake Roberts being in ECW. He sort of just fell to me when WWF released him. I thought to myself, Raven and Roberts would seem to go together, they look like a good team. In researching I learned Raven sits in the corner as a tribute to Jake, as Jake was one of his favorite wrestlers growing up. This would be a good coincidence :)

 

I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever get the Eliminators vs Dudleys, since a member of each team is hellbent on getting fired!

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I am trying to get Bubba under control, but anyone who follows any sort of wrestling and knows his name knows that isn't happening.

Thank you man. I appreciate the comments. I enjoy the Raven/Snake thing as well and it's something that has really been a focal point in the story so far.

Solid show, but holy cow the backstage is getting worse and worse!!

 

Like the way Stevie is getting presented with much more seriousness and focus. Guy could have been a huge star

I see the Taz/Raven rematch coming, and I like that. I like that a lot

<p>Let me just say, everything you typed up for that Stevie Richards vs Little Guido match is what I am looking for personally. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I love both those guys, and the way you described them at that stage is natural, and you looking at Stevie as the sort of next big face, is exactly what I think ECW should have done. Guido always did this job perfectly, and I thnk you captured that. Great work, I love this diary, man.</p><p> </p><p>

Stevie is your HBK. <img alt=";)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I've been super busy the past few weeks so I'm playing catch up here but just want to echo the sentiments of others that the story and presentation has been fantastic. Also interesting seeing the bit about Finlay walking out. I always thought he could have really flourished in the original ECW. I could see the Philly fans loving his style and now that I think about it the more I want to see a Finlay vs Taz matchup.

Taz is losing a lot of street cred lately, so I'll go with one of my favorites

I may be very wrong, but I would like to see Spike Dudley in that spot, being launched into the crowd :p

Bubba eats the fall for his attitude?

 

"Dr Death" Steve Williams vs. The Sandman

Sandman's content family man gimmick is ok, but I wanna see a mad lad that he always has been :D

 

Edit: Whew, thought I was late. Best kind of update. Also, where do I nominate you for podcast of the month? :)

Some interesting news tidbits there. Kidman would be a fun addition to ECW, maybe even in an early "flock" type role. Justin Credible I'll always associate with ECW so disappointed he resigned with WWF. Bob Backlund... CHICKEN WING!

 

About time Juvi and Bubba brawled... Bye Juvi, the Juice is now Loose.

 

Maybe this will be that fire Sandman needs to push back to the main event full-time!

I am sorry I just saw this somehow missed it. THANK YOU! I vote for you for DOTM so it's awesome to see these comments too. I thought the same abou Finlay, but I think WCW is going to get him. Ugh!

I agree with all of this. Juvi had to go. Kidman is a hot topic in my game right now, and would love to have seen him in ECW. Something tells me WCW won't let me borrow him, but I will try at least haha.

 

EVERYONE: Sorry for the delay here, caught up in real life this week. ECW will be back to it's regularly scheduled updates.. Thanks for your understanding, will have a show out this weekend (if not today).

Would be fun in you have a talent exchange agreement to get guys like Kidman in a for a couple months.

 

why you worrying about money? Looks like you have enough to last 2 years at the current rate. :D granted it may keep you from growing as fast as you want or resigning your big name stars in a crunch, but you won't go out of business anytime soon (which is a good thing for us readers)

I anticipate money going fast when the big two run after my talent (if they do). AKA paranoid. I would love to see Kidman in ECW and I will try for it here at some point soon.

 

@EVERYONE - Thanks for being patient with me, its been a hectic few weeks here for me. Will be back to commenting and catching up on other stories here shortly.
