    I didn't get a chance to order the PPV, but from what I've read, it seems like last night's show was subpar.

    The PPV was subpar. It was a night of screwing over all the faces which to no surprise was to put the return of Sting over. I don't think they have to screw over a lot of the matches to make the main event more significant. However I was impressed with Sting's return. The man was able to hide his rust and age very well and showed a ton of enthusiasm to be there. The only problem I saw was when he would fight with Monty Brown, they had a little bit of timing issues, but nothing a few more matches could take care of. Other than that though, the matches weren't as exciting as many in the past. And I was upset that Daniels didn't get more control at times in his match with Joe. He's a pure showman and deserves to have a considerable amount of time in control whenever he's in the ring.

    hey guys...i htink the whole pro wrestling scene is slowly heading into another subpar era.
    yes, tna and roh are on the rise (yet to see roh, though im catching up a bit with youtube, kazaa, etc.)
    but i truly believe that wwe, is going to make a big push soon that will be good for them, but ruin the business in general.
    with the loss over the last few years of the rock, austin, goldberg, brock, eddie (r.i.p.), jericho, christian, and so one, wwe seems to be losing most of its best selling talents.
    yes, cena and mysterio are huge sellers. but cena is hardly credible. and now with batista out, smackdown really only has one very marketable character.
    the undertaker is possibly months away from retiring and that will be a sad day because he has remained so good in that ring.
    with that said i believe wwe will end the brand extension. this is a bad sign for tna and roh because i truly believe wwe will have great potential to outdo all of their best shows since the split. so many new matchups would make for much less talk and the competition for the spotlight will be more intense.
    the main reason this would be a problem for tna and roh is because once wwe turns the profit im sure it would make from such a move, they would have more money to spend on the talents being produced by these great companies.
    i hope im wrong about that but thats my view.
    then again things could stay as they are and tna will make a huge push to make it another intense decade of monday night wars

    I don't know what the rules are here about posting links to other forums, but like I said before that I do help run a wrestling site, and we could always use more posters...I won't post the link until I have the ok. I really hate doing this, and it probably looks bad on me, but I thought I would say something...

    WWE has made the decision to bring back Extreme Championship Wrestling as a full time entity and has begun talking with former ECW talent about returning to work for the new version of the legendary promotion. As of right now, WWE is targeting a September return for the promotion. No decision has been made as to exactly how the company will be brought back yet. It's possible that it will take over the present OVW territory, that it will be a promotion that gets matches on the Raw and/or Smackdown promotions or possibly in some other manner. Sources have told us that Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer will be booking ECW when it starts up.

    WWE has already contacted a number of ECW wrestlers and contracts will be sent out to them this week. The talents are being offered three year deals which consist of a series of one year contracts, with rollover clauses. A number of wrestlers have been contacts so far. We can confirm that WWE has talked with The Sandman, Francine and Balls Mahoney and will be sending contracts out to them this week.

    We will have more information on this story later today or tomorrow.

    Oh and that's sad news to me about ECW starting back up. I wish Vince would just leave it alone and let it rest where it should. It's funny how there's millions of "hardcore" ECW fans, yet you could hardly ever spot them back when it was around. They just got spat on by WCW/WWF/E marks just like TNA fans get it today.

    AxlUlrich...great heads up...

    Don't know what to think of this...glad ECW is coming back, but if it's under the WWE umbrella, it has the potential to suck ass.

    Good move by the WWE though...they realized that there is still a huge audience out there for it.

    This could really screw up TNA.

    I suspect that our friend, PBM, has hit the nail on the head with this observation.

    It's all about the $$$$, baby.......that and stomping any competition.
