Info From http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/profiles/a/adrian-adonis.html Someone should put up info on another wrestler from the past
thank you.I told you fuckers ECW will and does suck.the word EXTREME was force feed to us. btw when was the last time Cena did the You Can't See Me hand wave infront of his face? I'm telling you he is changing his image
alot of people can't tell either. and no I'm not being sarcastic.his style is changing from gansta to hard worker with his new salute and I like it.
ECW sucks thanks to Vince. Although I guess it's smart. Make the company that was better than you in the past now look like shit.
The production values are too high for an ECW show. The arenas are too big, they need to tape in smaller places. I bet 95% of the crowd had no idea who Sabu was and why he kept pointing to the heavens. Honestly tho, if they are putting that much effort into making us try and think ECW isnt being taped before Smackdown, might as well just NOT tape it before Smackdown.
That is one of the problems, but the main problem was the product itself... 2 1 minute matches and a battle royal? Screams ECW to me.... It's just Smackdown again...
We arent the only ones who thinks ECW sucks: People who saw Paul Heyman backstage at the ECW show said that it was pretty clear that he thought the show was a train wreck. Everyone in the company also felt the same way. Everyone knew that the show wasn’t how they wanted it to succeed and failed.
I'm not surprised Heyman hated it. ECW in a WWE arena with WWE style booking is going to fail no matter what happens.
