Franchise22 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 anyone see lashleys opening promo from ecw last night? oh my god, he has to have the WORST mic skills ive seen. he kept stopping mid sentence as if he forgot what he was trting to say, and it lacked any type of emotion...... he needs a good mouth piece manager bad. and on another note, its damn obvious that the most over guy in ecw is RVD, he needs the strap back. hes the only one that really gets any true pop along with cm punk.

D16NJD16 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 At least Monty Brown is fun sometimes, and actually sounds like a man. Lashley sounds like my 7 year old sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trashbear Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Monty Brown is entertaining, but for different and much more hilariously bad reasons. I know he was in the NFL, but what the hell team did he play for, and was he a starter? Oh, and if the WWE actually cared about ECW succeeding they'd turn either RVD or CM Punk heel and let them feud over the belt. It's all about making money in pro wrestling, and that program would be pure gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneyJ Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 He played for the bills and was a starter for the patriots. I just looked it up on Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepy Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Marginally worse than Melina!!! That promo she gave after Foley was sacked sucked balls and went something like this "Mick Foley, ewww, is a dirty, ewww, old, ewwww, man, ewwww" Couldn't bare to watch the rest of Raw after that.

Lashley for some reason gets quite a bit of "pop", RVD seems skiddish at times... Some place's he's HUGE, others, seems like only a 50/50 thing going on. Lashley seems to get a good reaction no matter where he goes. I think it's just his look, since I have not seen a ton of skill from him yet... Although you can really see he probably is able to do alot better then what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as Kyra she was the perfect cure for insomnia. She probably has 30 words in her vocabulary when on the mic and 'ewww' and 'ugh' and 'like' are staples. About the most entertaining things she does are her ring entrance and screaming at ringside. Putting her with Mr Boring, Johnny Nitro, just gives the 'E a combo that could probably kill a meth buzz. Pretty sure speed rehab centers across the US use 'highlight' packages of Nitro & Melina for detox purposes. Lashley's problem is his tone of voice and the fact that he seems absolutely incapable of creative thought. But that's easily remedied if they have writers worth a quarter (and I have my doubts, given their recent shows). I hope they don't turn Punk though. He's definitely got the best shot of approaching the Rock's level of charisma and connection with the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfRoMaN36 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 RVD would most likely still hold the strap right now. He was given the ECW ball, and he dropped it. When he was caught for possesion of Marijuana that was the end of his run. Since Eddies death, the WWE has cracked down on drug use and RVD better thank his lucky stars he still has a job. Perhaps int he future. He will be given the ball back. (in fact, I can almost guarantee it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC13573 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Nah. Unless they give it too him and give him a million a year. He will probly go to TNA or the Indies. He can easily make more than a mil a year on the indies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfRoMaN36 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Well, PWinsider says otherwise. His paycheck does also. Face it, he was given the ball for ECW and he fumbled it. It was then given to the Big Show, and love him or hate him, you have to hand it to the guy for giving it his all, until his body coulnt take it anymore.

Well, as long as the matches are better than Raw's and Smackdowns... I guess i'll watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC13573 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 ya man I was like WTF? Heyman let go because of poor ratings and a bad PPV? he didnt even write them. I think that if Vince wanted ECW to prosper. he should have been like "Paul, I am giving you what I can of the original ECW roster. Here's a million dollars. Go and Prosper." That would have kicked ASS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really beggining to like the style he was putting out their (unfortunatly I never really saw the original growing up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC13573 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 same here. The only ORIGINAL stuff i saw was on the Rise and Fall of ECW. With Heyman, supposedly, writing it. they were getting 2.6-3.0 ratings. that aint bad. Now I want Heyman to come back and Kill Vinces baby. even though its mostly a "I will pay you to sit on your ass" agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfRoMaN36 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Well the first show scored nearly 2.7 which is what smackdown gets. and it slowly went down to a decent average of 1.6. it is still te highest rated cable show in its slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
