“Let The Bodies Hit The Floor!”
Just over 20 years ago, on June 20th, 2006, WWE brought us the 2nd episode of ECW on Sci-Fi. The first episode of WWE ECW has taken place to much criticism, but also a fantastic rating of over 3 million viewers. With the debut of talent like Kurt Angle & Big Show, as well as characters like The ECW Zombie, no one really knew what to expect from this show. Seemingly, that ‘no one’ included the people in charge. By the way, you can check out our review of the 1st episode of WWE ECW right here!
But, this is the next week, and it’s time to see what groundwork will be laid for the future of this ‘brand’. The night before on WWE Monday Night RAW, ECW showed up to interrupt the show. Sabu made his presence known by not only attacking John Cena, but a chair thrown at Cena’s head bust him wide open. This, of course, is to set up the match between John Cena & Sabu at this Sunday’s “Vengeance” PPV.
Our main event for the evening also involves two superstars from RAW; Edge & Randy Orton. They’re here to take on the team of Kurt Angle & Rob Van Dam. RVD had also shown up on RAW the night before to attack his opponent for Vengeance, Edge! Kurt Angle & Randy Orton are continuing their rivalry stemming from the last ECW One Night Stand, where Angle beat Randy Orton.
Also, Macho Libre is here to tell the ECW fans about how Macho Man did promos, which The Sandman takes umbrage to. Kelly is here to give us another Exposé, Sabu takes on The FBI’s Tony Mamaluke w/ Trinity, Tommy Dreamer stands up to The Big Show, and John Cena is here to confront the ECW ‘Extremist Rebels’.
All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!
