Yeah, cos Smackdown is the B show and they've learned from the Paul Heyman run that you don't try and be TOO good and show up the poor writing by certain head creative writers (ie steph) cos if you do you'll just take all the flak for a ppv that was changing without your consent or knowledge and ends up tanking.

And ECW is only there so Vince can prove anything anyone else can do he can do better. Or just ridicule the original product and hope that no-one checks your story

Not sure I agree with the latter.

It's highly valuable for tuning up upcoming talent's in ring skills.

Look at Jack Swagger, he'd have been buried on Raw already, whereas in ECW he's having consistantly good matches whilst tuning his skills.

I just disagree with them calling it 'ECW' though. Having a developmental TV show like this is a great idea and certainly good investment for the future. But, when wrestling historians look back at ECW in 40-50 years time, alongside Raven, Sabu, Jerry Lynn, Terry Funk, Cactus Jack and Steve Austin - you're also gonna have Mark Henry, Snitsky, Big Daddy V, The Boogeyman etc!

I always think her teeth look a bit funny, but to get over that I tend to look at other parts of her body! By the way, I agree, she did look rather lovely last night, loved the fact the match ended with basically a series of cleavege shots.

She looked like she'd been on a sunbed too long for me.

Kennedy has been released by WWE last night.

He injured his wrist taking an RKO on Monday. Orton had words with Kennedy afterwards about being careful in the ring as Kennedy would end up injuring others.

Surprised at that to be honest (despite his luck with injuries, the Signiture Pharmacy scandal etc). Thought he was destined to be the next big thing a couple of years ago but I guess he kinda struggled to build serious momentum because of the above issues.
No doubt he'll quickly find work at the rival company though.

Hey any news on Victoria by the way? Was reading in Power Slam a writer's suggestion that TNA strike a deal with Playboy now that WWE has ended their deal. Maybe the Victoria spread might finally happen eh?!
