I was thinking about this last night after seeing the commercial for it during RAW. With the Shane Douglas Hardcore Homecoming show not looking that great, what would YOU want to see come out of the WWE's ECW effort? Obviously they have potential for better matches if they end up using guys like Benoit, Guerrero, and Mysterio which we've heard rumored for sometime now. It's also been rumored that the WWE is going to work out some sort of a deal with TNA to get their talent on the show as well. For those who care TNA is asking for the rights to use wrestlers names and trademarks from their WWF days (aka Roaddog, Billy Gunn, new Age Outlaws etc)......so what do you guys think?

Here's the list of talent that they are rumored to use/want for the show...

Talent Under WWE Contract Available for PPV:

Chris Benoit
Simon Dean (aka Nova in ECW)
Tommy Dreamer
Spike Dudley
The Dudley Boyz
Eddie Guerrero
Paul Heyman
Chris Jericho
Lita (aka Miss Congeniality in ECW)
Dean Malenko
Dawn Marie
Joey Matthews
Rey Mysterio
Rhyno (still under 90 day no compete at time of PPV)
Nunzio (aka Little Guido in ECW)
Psicosis
Steven Richards
Al Snow
Lance Storm
Johnny Swinger
Yoshihiro Tajiri
Tazz
Rob Van Dam
Chilly Willy (released but available for show)


Of course, there's also Mick Foley and Steve Austin, although neither are currently signed to WWE wrestler deals.

Outside Talent Contacted & Announced and/or Expected to Appear:

Axl Rotten
Balls Mahoney
Big Guido
Bill Alfonso
Blue Meanie
CW Anderson
Jason
JT Smith
Justin Credible
Masato Tanaka
Referee John Finnegan
Referee Mike Kehner
Referee Jim Molineaux
Sabu
Sal E. Graziano
The Sandman
Terry Funk
Tony Mamaluke
Tracy Smothers

first, on WWE TV I would make some angle to cause the return of ECW. I'd have a returning RVD beat Rhyno for the title.

I'd do a Top 20 moments thing throughout the night.

Matches:

Chris Benoit vs. Dean Malenko

Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Tazz and Terry Funk vs. Raven, Dudley Boyz and Justin Credible

Masato Tanaka vs. Eddie Guerrero

Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri vs. Psicosis

Chris Jericho and Lance Storm vs. Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn

Balls Mahoney and Spike Dudley vs. Southern Comfort

Al Snow vs. Nunzio

1. The Full Blooded Italians vs. The Blue World Order (Richards, Meanie, Nova)

2. Rob Van Dam vs. Tommy Dreamer

3. Chris Benoit vs. Dean Malenko vs. Eddie Guerrero

4. Rey Mysterio vs. Psicosis

5. FIRST CHOICE: Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack
SECOND CHOICE: Terry Funk vs. Sabu

6. Masato Tanaka vs. Rhino (if he still isn't pissed)

7. The Dudley Boyz vs. The Eliminators (if WWE gets them)

8. Al Snow vs. C.W. Anderson

9. Chris Jericho vs. Lance Storm

10. Joey Matthews vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri

Switch Dean Malenko and Masato Tanaka, and I could deal with that. However, I think you're gonna see a RVD/Lynn match, a Raven/Dreamer match, and an Impact Playas reunion.

Yeah, I agree. I was trying to bunch the weaker workers up into matches to try and make it a workrate show but I imagine it'll end up being a much weaker card.

Don't worry. Anything that happens will be cheered like crazy. I'm just gassed as hell that they have Tanaka on this thing.

Ehhh, figured I could take a shot at it....

Axl/Balls v Dudley Boys. Flaming tables match.

FBI (Guido, Tracy Smothers, Mamluke, Big Sal Ringside) v Blue World Order (Richards, Meanie, Nova) - The place will come fuckin unglued for this shit.

Impact Players w/Dawn Marie v Tajiri/Mikey Whipwreck (not sure he is confirmed) w/Sinister Minister

Mysterio v Psicosis v Juvi (he should be available, since I think he signed with WWE a while back)

Malenko v Guerrero

Chris Benoit v Masato Tanaka

Tommy Dreamer/Terry Funk v Sabu/RVD v Tazz/???? - mystery partner, cause I don't know who fits.

Ehhh, I'm sure there is someone I should put in. Jericho doesn't fit really in my eyes, maybe cause he was only in ECW for like, 4 months if I remember right.

There is no way I'm going to ever make this card something I truly believe would be appropriate, but this is my fourth try so I'm going to post whatever comes out this time.

ECW World Heavyweight Championship:
Rhyno © vs Tommy Dreamer

Eddie Guerrero vs Dean Malenko

The Impact Players vs Chris Benoit and Al Snow

The Dudley Boyz vs Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney

bWo vs FBI

The Sandman vs Raven

Rey Mysterio vs Super Crazy



I know a lot of my choices are repeats, but hey, it's what I really would do.
