Re: Heyman's Ideas Ripped

a.. Paul Heyman actually put together some of last Tuesday's ECW show,
however, when Vince McMahon and the rest of WWE creative team saw what
he came up with, they tore apart most of Heyman's ideas. Although,
Heyman booked Sabu's match and the RVD/Angle angle. The rest of the
show - the middle portion - came from McMahon and his minions on the
WWE creative team.

Good. Heyman is like Vince Russo and needs to be reined in for his ideas
to work.

That is complete and utter bull***. Heyman's OVW was the best
wrestling show on TV, bar none, far better than McMahon's Raw and
Smackdown. And it was Heyman that made Smackdown great when he had the
Smackdown Six ruling the show. And it was Heyman that had great,
realistic characters in ECW while Vince was still shoving wrestling
garbagemen and hog farmers down our throats. And just where do you
think WWF Attitude came from?

a.. Several ECW wrestlers from the glory days were not at Tuesday's
show. Basically, the ECW individuals you saw on television were the
only ECW individuals who were actually at the show. The likes of Balls
Mahoney, Stevie Richards, Justin Credible, Francine, etc ... stayed
home.

Good. Nobody is going to watch a show for Aldo Montoya or "Balls".

Nobody but ECW FANS. Establish them and their ECW past, and then use
them to establish the new guys.


a.. The general feeling by people in position of power in WWE is, "Why
do we need a Danny Doring, Justin Credible, Steven DeAngelis, the
referees, etc ... when we have fifty workers in Ohio Valley Wrestling
and Deep South Wrestling?"

Good. Their attitude makes perfect sense to anyone but a kool-aid drinker
stuck in 1995.

You would work perfectly with Vince. You need them to give the old ECW
fans an established link to the past, or else they're going to leave in
droves because it becomes apparent that this is just Velocity or Heat
instead of ECW. You don't have to use these guys forever, but you need
to use them long enough to have them help bring up the new guys.
