Honestly, once they dropped any pretense of it being anything like the original, I liked WWE's version of ECW a lot more. It was actually my favorite of the shows for quite a while.

WWECW was cool when it became the proto-NXT. Still mad that Ezekiel Jackson was the final champion instead of Christian.

Kelly Kelly running the ropes was consistently entertaining at least. She was a wrestler for like 45 years and still couldn't do it.

I did too. But that first year or so was really bad in general. There were a few good moments like Punk/Morrison, but far too often it was like Syfy's TNA

Anyone who came up in the WWE system got taught really bad fundamentals for years and a lot of it wasn't tailored to the talents needs as much as it was one shoe fits all teaching. I don't want to point fingers but when Demott got poo poo canned things improved on that front.

I can't get mad at any of the crappy women that came up for years and years (or the people who trained them) because they were specifically told to be lousy and punished for being good, so it's safe to assume the trainers were told 'ok make sure these chicks can do enough to not get themselves killed but also make sure they don't know enough that they could possibly overshadow the men'.

Pounce owned, but it was oddly one of those exceptionally few things that kinda worked better in TNA's stupid 6-sided ring since Monty could hit the other guy on an angle.

Granted, it also seems like you could fit like 5 of TNA's old hexagon rings into one WWE ring. Monty and the other guy had to cover a lot of ground to make it work in the much larger WWE ring.

E: this reminded me to go back and find Monty's great promo he did off the cuff when they had to evacuate the stage mid-PPV because some pyro hosed up and set off the alarms

Today's wrestlers are a bunch of wimps.

Or at least that's what I think the idea is after watching 205 Live from the other day. I dunno... it's just funny to me that the guy who is going to be running the company had one of his biggest career moments occur in a match where he tore his quad but kept going. They literally harp on this during every video package done on him to show you what a tough warrior he is. Then you have something like on 205 Live where Mr. 450 wasn't injured badly, he just tweaked something. He was clearly able to continue & fully communicating with the referee that he was fine but they still cut the match and made them go home immediatly. That kinda sucks if you ask me. I mean I know it's a total longshot but let's just say MAYYYYYYYYYYBE Mr. 450 makes something of himself in WWE down the line & part of his story can be how he got injured in his debut match but fought through the pain to put on a good match. It's a hell of a story if you ask me.

I know some WWE superfan will scold me for not caring about the health of wrestlers like their precious company but let's be honest - if this isn't a 205 Live and isn't these 2 guys, the match isn't being stopped. If Randy Orton tweaks his groin or knee working at the Rumble against whoever else, the match isn't being stopped. It's like that old saying of "you can't be half pregnant". Either you're 100% committed to wrestlers safety & stop every match where there's an injury or you don't and let them police themselves.

Triple h tore his quad off the bone when he knelt down to propose to stephanie

E:Finn Balor and Zack Ryder both got severely injured and finished matches in like the past five months. Yeah I'll give the jobber on the network show a pass.

i care about the wrestler's health because people getting injured usually means there's slapped together booking to try and cover for it, and the people that get injured are usually the guys who are trying the hardest. you dont see kane tearing his knee.
