Friday Five: ECW! ECW! ECW!

Five questions about ECW, mostly the old, but some of the new.

1. Why don't more people use Paul Heyman's ECW booking model? (i.e., accentuate strengths, hide weaknesses, establish new stars by using older stars, push the envelope)

2. Favorite old-school ECW match?

3. Would the new ECW benefit from changing its name?

4. Most surprising ECW star that would never have gotten over anywhere else if not for ECW?

5. Was there any wrestling arena, post-regional days, that exemplified its home fed as well as the ECW Arena did?

  1. 1. Because there's too many egos to satisfy. Gabe did a pretty good job in being a Heyman disciple.

    2. Sabu vs. Sandman, Stairway to Hell

    3. I don't think so because I think people who complain about the ECW name are over it by now. I think it still adds a little bit of name value. If they called it OVW or whatever, I think the ratings would have sunk further.

    4. 911, if he counts as a star. Tommy Dreamer, otherwise.

    5. The Impact Zone....for all the wrong reasons.
