    Another thing I'm not quite up-to-speed on: If the WWE hates when wrestlers do high spots and hardcore stuff, are they going to relax that attitude with the new ECW?

    ...or will it be watered down?

    While I hope he gets better...I'm not much of a fan...never liked any of his gimmicks...plus, when he was a trainer on Tough Enough, he came across as a real asshole.

    Ive always liked him, I liked him from his Spark Plug days. Hes a good worker, and I like how stiff he works in the ring.

    That was an awful gimmick.

    Remember when he worked stiff against one of the Tough Enough winners on Raw? Not cool...you're there to protect one another...he doesn't seem to do that.

    I will admit that the Hardcore Holly gimmick was better for him...he looked more like a badass...I never bought into it, but at least he came across that way.

    haha Sparky Plug !
    that was a crap gimmick
    the Hardcore thing suits him alot better cos hes a badass in person as well.

    he needs to learn to control his temper if he ever wants to get a major push as well.

    I'd like to see Holly hold his own in ECW...see if he's really hardcore. ;)

    Who would have thought Holly would have been the center of a wrestling discussion at anytime? Out of all the people out there? HAH, I will give him one thing though, he's been very loyal to that company. He's another Brooklyn Brawler, never got much of an opportunity, but he still showed up everyday and in just as good shape as anybody out there(I guess the brawler didn't do that part though.)

    However it's sad to see the shape he's in right now. Does anyone have an article saying that he's actually recovering? Cause last I read about 2 days ago, he's on an IV every 12 hours and just kind of stable in his state right now.

    Also some other news, looks like WWE will be doing another WWE vs ECW spot to lead into One Night Stand II. Why can't they just leave it alone and let them showcase their own matches. Argh. Oh well.

    I'll tell you why: Vinnie Mac doesn't understand the concept and he thinks we still give a rat's ass about his product.

    If he's smart, which to me is debatable, he will leave ECW alone. If he doesn't, it will be a sad and painful thing to watch.

    It's also quite bad for the wrestling industry that WWE will run a whole other company.I hope TNA kicks their bollocks.

    I enjoy their wrestling...but everything else seems bland. They need to step it up.

    Exactly.The wrestling is what people watch it for.Unlike WWE which has really lost all credibility wrestling wise lately.You just look at a guy like Cena or JBL and compare them to AJ Styles,Chris Daniels or Samoa Joe and you see who's better.They could benefit from maybe better storylines or some cool catchphrases but I'm not gonna complain as long as they keep making these amazing matches.

    I use to be a wrestling fan back in the day... I would say mid-80's and early 90's... I got out of wrestling right about the same time it started to get really crappy... Gone are the days of George the Animal Steel, Junkyard Dog, Big John Stud, Rowdy Roddy Piper, King Kong Bundy, Adrian Adonis, Paul Orndoff, and many many other greats!

    Not necessarily. I think they should co-exist. Remember the NWO? That storyline was fantastic.

    Austin-McMahon? Rock and Sock? Raven-Sandman?

    They're going to be in Philly the beginning of June at the old ECW arena. So they're working their way there. However, I think it's going to be a while before they make it out west so I can see. Oh well I'll stick with the Indy shows, I have Austin Aries vs Chris Sabin to look forward to in a couple weeks, among others. And yes, TNA PPV's on the majority are far superior to WWE's since TNA started monthly ppv's a year and a half ago.
