Last night’s debut edition of ECW TV on the Sci Fi Network was written by Paul Heyman, but tweaked by WWE creative. If you thought that Heyman would have complete creative control of the brand, think again. Last night’s show was a Vince McMahon production and Heyman wrote the show to his expectations and visions.
People backstage are saying that Paul Heyman knew last night that the show was a wreck. Everyone within the ECW locker room felt the same way, everyone knew what a disappointment that the show was and considered it a complete failure.
The reason they aired the Tazz vs. Jerry “The King†Lawler match from One Night Stand in its entirety is because they actually ran short and had to put it in to fill time. Cues were also missed during the battle royal, forcing the production team to fix mistakes they had before the taping aired tape delay.
WWE brought Steven DeAngelis in to do the ring announcing, however, when he arrived at the show they sent him home. As you saw last night, WWE chose to go with Justin Roberts instead. Although judging from last night’s show, DeAngelis was probably glad to not be a part of the garbage they tried to pass off as ECW.
ernie is already seeing rumors pop up that the brand may already be done.
Was that nothing more than a glorified WWE show?
Fix it, or drop it?
