ECW needs to use their talent?

Cor Von's probably being benched for no-showing, either that or he's still tending to his family issues. I do agree, they've dropped the ball on him since the draft, but his recent absence doesn't help matters. He's not as big of a man as you might perceive. I'll agree, for the brand, he was pretty huge, but he's only about 6'0'', and putting that up against Viscera, Vince's current project, he looks pretty small. Maybe he'll come back with a face push and take out the big man, it would be a great match.

Burke's being used, he's just not in the current storyline. They still talk Burke up like he's Mohammed Ali, and he still gets ample television time. Compared to what the rest of the roster's getting, Burke's doing fairly well for himself. You must realize that the only talented and over face they have right now is CM Punk. Burke and Punker had a great run together, and they still put on clinics, but CM can only feud with one person at a time, and right now his attention's on Morrison. I wouldn't be surprised of Burke v. Punk is picked up immediately after Punker knocks off Morrison in a title rematch, but considering how over with the fans Hennigan is right now, I wonder if they'll put the title on Punk at the next PPV or not.

Right now I see Kevin Thorn as being in a mini feud with Steven Richards. It's true, Stevie's gotten two wins over him, but they were underdog, non-finisher, roll up wins. To me, that doesn't mean they're ruining Thorn, it means that after nearly two decades in WWE, Steven Richards finally managed to beat someone. I forsee Thorn squashing Stevie (And all of my hopes in a Richards push) in a fairly one-sided match before this month's out, because if they were really so displeased with Kevin Fertig right now, they'd mercy kill his contract before they used him as a stepping stone for a former J.O.B. Squadder's career.

Now I agree that putting the title on Morrison so early was a mistake, as a matter of fact, it was in more than one way. I'll also agree before his extreme rules match that he had no clout, value, or credibility in the fan's eyes, but you have to give props to WWE for making the best out of a fluke title reign. I mean, you know that Hennigan's only got the title because Benoit's absence at the PPV on that infamous night of his demise? You are aware that if Benoit hadn't have died, he would have swiped the title off of Nitro on the very next Tuesday after the PPV? That's the only reason Morrison has the belt right now, and after that Sunday night, they had two options. Option One: immediately job John to CM Punk, make his reign look like a fluke, kill the title's credibility along with a superstar's cred with a fairly promising future, or Option Two: Keep the title on Morrison, use this as an opportunity to push John up the card, have the audience BEG for a CM Punk title reign, while seimultaniously making sure people appreciate him and don't get sick of him too soon. They took the right course of action in my opinion.

I definitely agree with you. Nobody takes them seriously anymore, and one of the reasons why is because they have one title. What I always thought they should do is bring back the Hardcore Championship and make that like their IC/US championship, except it can only be won in an extreme rules match. They'd also have to get rid of the 24/7 rule (where the belt can essentially be stolen and the person who stole it would become champion.) They should also have an ECW tag team championship. As for Cruiserweight, that didn't work so well on SD!, so I have my doubts that it would work on the even less popular ECW. I think the three titles (ECW, Hardcore, and ECW Tag Team) would be a very good start, and they could decide if they want to add a fourth belt later.

Hey Kennedy, nice pic!

Yes, what you said is very true!!!!

Elijah has been (in my eyes) the most entertaining and he has made a huge impact in ECW!

He deserves a title shot and he deserves it NOW!

Cor Von is amazing! The Pounce (hie finisher) is awesome! I don't get why ECW don't push these guys! Alot of them have got more talent then some of the RAW and SD main eventers!

Kevin Thorn, what can I say....I love the guy! Since Aerial has left (thanks alot Batista!), he's been jobbing ever since! Can you believe that they have made him lose to Steven Richards?!?!

Yeah and as much as I like Morrison, he didn't deserve to get the title shot, or atleast not the ECW title! It would have made more sence if CM Punk won the title because it gets you thinking whether or not Benoit (R.I.P) was meant to win it!

But don't woryy, as soon as CM Punk wins the title from Morrison, either Elijah, Cor Von or Thorn will get the push they deserve! Most likely it will be Elijah!

Miz.......what are they thinking?!?! He gets the girls, the wins, whats next...the ECW Championship?

He went from reality T.V Show contestant to an WWE/ECW Superstar!

There are others that have trained their whole entire lives for the chance to make it big in the WWE and they sometimes don't even get close to fulfilling their dreams, but then here comes this guy, straight from a reality show and then suddenly......he's got a contract with WWE?

And Extreme Expose, sorry, I'm not sure whether you like them, but I think they are the WWE's biggest waste of talent!

They shoulf fire them and hire 3 other divas that can actually wrestle and then we can have a divas division in ECW! They fired Aerial and Trinity, who I'm sure are better wrestlers than Extreme Expose...and probably better dancers aswell, but all Vince cares about is their looks! Which makes me soooo mad!!!!!

Well done Kennedy with this question!

Oh, and before in your other question, I asked what does MVC mean because on your username, it had Mr.Kennedy's #1 fan OFC KFC MVC, but I guess you changed it now! Now it makes sense! =)

*STARRED*

Marcus Cor Von will only be another Batista if he gets a main event push

Elijah Burke- Terrible finisher but not so bad wrestling i think he's good enough to go for the WWECW title.

Kevin Thorn- Now here's some unused talent! He's obviously good but i think his gimmick is holding him back a bit like Eugene's is holding him back.

One reason is that WWE believes that dues must be paid. Take for example Eddie Geurrero or Chris Benoit. They have spent many years in the original ECW and WCW, but it took them over three years to win the Championship gold. As wrestlers prove themselves good things come. In case you don't know this John Cena was in the WWF/WWE training camps and in dark matches for about a year and a half before his first televised match in 2002.

That Kevin Thorn is ever allowed to win is impressive. If you didn't know, Thorn was in the WWE previously as Mordaci. And they were set to have him Main event with the Undertaker in a long fued, and he quit because "he was afraid of the Undertakers Last Ride finisher." Any wrestler afraid to take a bump isn't worth the money people pay to see him perform.

Marcus Cor Von used to be gr8 in TNA....but since he came to WWE/ECW his talent is goin to waste!!...

Elijah Burke shud go to Smackdown nd he can be da US Champ or at least can be a Tag Team champ wit MVP....

Kevin Thorn shud fued wit The Boogeyman.....

Yea they r pushin CM Punk.......

but wait.....The ECW Originals r also goin to waste....

i think dat they shud disband ECW n shuffle them to RAW and Smackdown!

I'd like to see ECW center their product around Marcus Cor Von ... he was cool in TNA and could add some intensity to ECW if he's given the ball and allowed to run with it.

Usually I think ECW sucks but I still watch it every week, the episode on thurs had a really good main event with punk vs dreamer vs burke triple threat

ECW needs the great Stone Cold Steve Austin!
