Anyone else been watching this since it was brought back to life?

Just been watching the "Best of 2006" and have to say I'm damn disappointed really.

ECW is shite tbh. They're trying to change it's image but it won't work. People liked ECW for it's hardcore style, now you're lucky to get one hardcore match. I can't see it lasting in all honesty, as word has it alot of the talent backstage are very unhappy and are thinking of jumping ship to TNA. :-/

You know, real fighting, not fixes for sports betting ala boxing or theatre for closet homos a la WWE.
lmao i say as most people will most ufc fighters could not work a wwe match as they are not tough or fit enough for it granted most ufc fighter would prolly win a shoot fight vs wwe wrestlers but that dose not make wwe wrestlers gay.

and ecw was about more than hardcore it was the first main stream show to bring in new styles like lucho libre ect but now its is just the new Heat show.

ROFL.

Wow.

I cannot believe you just said that.

UFC is a full contact mixed martial arts sport.
WWE is roided up prancers putting on a show - do you really think each and every fight isnt scripted?

No i do not think its real don't be ignorant, just like a golfer could not start playing premiership football some one used to a short real fight with lots of breaks could not wrestle a scrippted wrestling match.

Wrestlers if you like it or not are sportsmen who are very fit and train to do what they do and if you think just any one could step in a do what they do you are very wrong. I think its sad that you can't accept scripted or not wrestlers are alot more than roided up prancers.

And if UFC fighters tried fighting 3 times a week i wonder if they would be roided up???

Another way to look at it is how would you rate Tim Sylvias chances in a WBA heavyweight bout vs Nikolay Valuev?

I filmed one of those American wrestling things once, in Sheffield.

We filmed a backstage 'fight' between 2 big muscly women (tonnes of makeup).

Every aspect of the fight was planned beforehand, and rehearsed several times before we shot it. The footage was then played out 'as live', to appear as though they were fighting during the broadcast. The American crew I was with took the whole thing very seriously.

Kiddies TV. Chucklevision is miles better.

Whats dumb is that you think they have any real skills, they are steroid using actors basically.

You can actually look at early day UFCs when wrestlers competed and for the most part got de_stroyed.

What your saying is like so fucking retarded its unbelievable - the conditions of a real fight far outweigh the conditions of a wwe act-off.

As for Sylvias vs Valuev thats so retarded, thats like saying nick faldo cant beat a driving range pro on a driving range.

Put any of those guys in a real fight and the UFC competitors will destroy any boxer or wrestler you choose to put them up against.

Its sad that your trying to argue that some steroid using spandex wearing bad-actor has any sort of "toughness" compared to MMA.

And this is so fucking dumb its unbelievable as well.

Groundwork takes a hell of a lot of energy and effort, watch the early UFC fights with no time limits and come back and spout this crap.

UFC fighters have much more stamina than a wrestler, because wrestling isnt about contact or energy expenditure its about putting on a show.

It still stands that a ufc fighter could not put on a wwe match proved by the fact that Daniel Puder could not make it as a wrestler. And please do not think that wrestling has no contact look at some videos of Armagedon and see one of the wrestlers get there face smashed in by a ladder. But i will not reply here again as there is not point taling to people who cant see any side but there own. I watch MMA Wrestling Boxing and almost anything else and you can't compare them to each other.

No please reply again, I like wrestling, it is fun and brainless entertainment. I have been to a few live shows and it is very apparent how little contact there is. It looks better on TV, they choose good camera angles. Someone getting their face smashed in with a ladder in wrestling means that someone screwed up. UFC etc are real fighting, WWE etc are stunt men and performers putting on a good show.

I do watch, UFC. Waiting on UFC:66, thank god Bravo are showing it on Monday. :D Tito vs Liddell should be a good fight, never got to see their first bout :( Want to see how Bisping does too, last match got cancelled due to his visa. I watch UFC just for the sheer fact it is one hell of a sport, I watch wrestling for the entertainment value. Each to their own I suppose.

Thats fine, nothing against people watching wrestling for entertainment value but arguing that wrestlers are tougher/fitter than UFC fighters and that a UFC fighter cant "do a wwe match" is a fucking ridiculous statement of purple proportions.

Is it though? I'd imagine WWE is a different (homosexual) skill set. Just because the (slightly fruity) skills invovled in UFC means that they could beat up someone doing WWE, doesn't mean they could hack a WWE match. Not that they'd get beaten up, but it's just a different bunch of skills required.

That said, I don't care - it's all not too subtle homoerotic tomfoolery and it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.


Since I don't like penis.







As you all so clearly do.

Im sure there was some talk not long ago about a WWE/UFC style match taking place, apparently Kurt Angle was going to do it before "quitting" WWE.

ECW i watch very little of, theres only a few wrestlers i watch, CM Punk and RVD at most, and i hear the recent PPV for ECW was less than satisfactory, ECW will be heading into the shitter with the removal of Paul Heyman, as well as a strong possibility that their main attraction - RVD could very well be going to TNA as his contract expires very soon.

They have lost a lot of star power recently, Big Show, Kurt Angle, soon to be RVD... Its going to die i thinky.

Speaking of TNA though, i hear this is on Eurosport - Can anyone tell me the times/days that its showing? I want to have a look at some of the guys on that broadcast. HmHmhM

Big Show has not gone anywhere.....

Angle did not quit, he was told to stop wrestling or he was going to risk permenent paralysis or death. WWE did not want the risk.

I doubt RVD will go to TNA, he likes attention and he will not get enough at TNA.
