Stand Back! There's a Hurricane Coming Through

I have no real place to ask this so I'll do it here. Why isn't every ECW World title match an Extreme rules match? That is the premise of ECW right? Doesn't it seem like the title should be defended that way all the time? Am I alone on this one? |

They should take something like that into consideration, but I am still wondering how much actual "power" was given back to Heyman. Well here are the latest ratings which seemed to have dropped.
Maybe they should take a different approach, and start adding extreme rules to the rest of the main event matches but maybe it's just this week so we'll see. |

Wade Keller from the PW Torch wrote this brief article about the "Extreme Rules" matches:
I doubt that'll change anyone's view, but at least it's an attempt at rationalizing the sitution. |

It also shows the misconception of what ECW was. Sure they would use the ocasional weapon, but mostly, they wrestled. Using a chair was no big deal, but it also didn't happen as much as the WWE wants you to think it did. In the eraly days of ECW it was about blood and violence, but in its prime, ECW was about great in ring action, not just Tables and chairs and tacks. |

Most definite, that's what I think seperated them from other promotions at the time, till of course the Monday Night Wars came ahead and the attitude era started, but if you watch the ECW rise and fall dvd, Vince even makes reference to that they took some of ECW's concepts and made it their own. Billion dollar companines were coming to destroy ECW when they were doing things that back then that are standardized around the wrestling world now IMO. |

The Man. Any Questions?
|
I commented on the lack of no-rules matches on some other thread. I played along with ALOCFWWE calling itself "ECW" back when it first started, and was actually trying to act like ECW, rather than just taking the name. Now, all I see is no ECW elements on the show, and the supposedly "against sports'entertainment" announcers shilling for RAW events! Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy ALOCFWWE to a point, but they need to stop using the "ECW" name, if they aren't going to use any of the "ECW" elements. |
