RVD, Angle join ECW wagon

About the only thing missing from the ECW relaunch is some marquee talent to draw mainstream attention and get some Sci-Fi Channel viewers who don't watch wrestling on board. As Paul Heyman revealed Monday night, Vince McMahon awarded ECW one draft pick from "Raw'' and one draft pick from "SmackDown.'' From Raw, Heyman made the obvious selection and took Rob Van Dam. As for the "SmackDown'' choice, Heyman went off the board and took Kurt Angle. Some thought it was so Angle could work a reduced schedule and heal from numerous injuries, but in fact the ECW crew will work just as grueling a schedule as the "Raw'' and "SmackDown'' brands. With the pressure on ECW to put on a big show at One Night Stand in two weeks, another big-time match has been announced: Rey Mysterio will face Sabu in their first-ever encounter.



AROUND THE RING: Ric Flair has signed a one-year deal to stay with WWE. ... Paul Burchill is injured and will be off TV for a few weeks. When he returns, the pirate gimmick will be dropped. ... Sounds like Rhino could be on his way back to WWE. ... Mark Henry is expected to win the WWE title from Mysterio at the Great American Bash and be forced to defend it against the returning Batista. ... Heyman is interested in bringing in Mordecai and Test as major heels in the new ECW

Hmmm.. Rhino should stay in TNA.

Mark Henry does deserve the title, so Batista v Henry at Summer Slam.

Rey v Sabu... talk about your odd couple. it will be an exciting match for ONS. It just a match that you would think would never happen.

Test.. yeah i can see him in ECW. Mordecai ? they bring him back with a different gimmick maybe.

Modrecai how come he was released so early?

Mark Henry as champ...blah i dont like that, give it to Booker T then do a Booker T/Batista fued.

It makes sense.

Modrecai how come he was released so early?

Because, due mostly to awful booking, his awful gimmick didn't take off.

Mark Henry as champ...blah i dont like that, give it to Booker T then do a Booker T/Batista fued.

It makes sense.

Which is why it won't happen.

Mordecai was released because of his gimmick like Illuminattile stated. What I am curious about is who will Kurt Angle opponent be on ONS? I am thinking Tazz maybe?

^I think Rhino or some WWE guy seeing as Kurt is an ECW wrestler now.

This better be a wrestler who we never thought of. But of course with the internet we will find out probably. I just realized that Tazz challenged Jerry Lawler to a match so scratch him off the list. Rhyno? I doubt it, he has a contract with TNA I believe.
