I could see them going for RVD winning the WWE title at ONS, and having Reyrey come out with his WHC and those two having an emotional clebration in the ring. Just like when Eddie won the title. (Or was it Benoit?)

Also, Mark Henry faces Taker this Friday on Smackdown, which begs the question:
Why the fuck did they ever let him out of the casket? Caskets are a great way to not have to explain someone geting released, they should have used the easy exit >:(

cause the casket broke...lol

Benoit won the title and Eddie came out to celebrate is what you were thinking of.

Yeah a RVD/Rey match at ONS would be cool. I belive his MITB contract is good for either belt.

Yeh, that was cool and emotional, but if they tired to recreate it, it would be corny and old. WWE style no?

If RVD gets the title beforehand, they could fight each other at ONS, unify the belts, and declare them the ECW title. It would fuck up the whole title heirarchy, and feeling of worth, of the titles, but who cares, ECF'NW!

I knew Mark Henry was going to break it, it was only going to be a matter of time... =P

Yeah, I remember that, very emotional. Was interesting to see though.

I guess it's not impossible then for that match to happen. Now I suppose he has to make the choice of either remaining on RAW or maybe go back to the ranks of SD! and try to get either of those titles. Like HBHO said, it's ECF'NW man, they should totally bring back a cool belt to have at that event as a one time use type deal. :D

They could even dedicate a segment of Raw or Smackdown to it every so often so that it stays in the limelight. Then have a proper match at ONS or other ECW events to honour it properly. God knows they dont use the time they have very well right now...

Yeah they should totally do that. Even though I thought that Paul Heyman (sp?) I believe sold all of ECW's (or most) of it's rights to things such as their belts and all of their archives, it's a wonder why the WWE hasn't marketed any of it at all. It's almost as if they're preventing them from coming back at all, maybe too afraid that people will start watching ECW again and not them even though it would technically be theirs. It actually might help them in this day and age, but I don't see them bringing any of it back execpt for ONS. That's it...

it;s not like they don't market it at all. we certinly got some good dvd's recently. a few t-shirts and hats too but not as much as they could.

But you do bring up[ a point.. what happened to their title belts? Where are they and why hasn't wwe made replicas of them? I know Rhyno was the last ECW champ and I belive he also had the tv title (avie will know) and I have no idea who had the tag belts last but did they keep the actual belts after ECW went out of buisness or did paul sell them to get out of debt? Also what happened to the FTW title?

You're correct Outlaw, Rhyno had both the tv title and WH title whe nECW went bankrupt. As for the actual belts I assume the WWE still has them but I'm not sure about that.

I read the SD tapings and Orton has a match as well as it was announced that he would be in a match the following week. Maybe he was suspended from house shows only?

Or maybe its an elaborate work. I've heard different stories about what happened. One was that he tried to flush Paul London down the toilet. Another is that he was hitting on Stephanie Mcmahon and another one is that he failed a drug test. Again, these are all stories so i wouldn't believe any of them.

The drug test thing could be one of the facts that could actually be true, but I don't know if he could actually had been caught being on something. From what I heard, the WWE was going to start some massive drug testing on people and that would jeopardize anyone caught on anything. This could be true for Orton, but I don't know what exactly he could be on...

As for the other two, I got a slight tickle of laughter off the Paul London one (was he giving him a swirly?) and I think he would know better than to mess around with Steph. At least I think that he would...

His 10 year contract expires in August. I doubt it will be renewed. Mark has never been able to make a splash in the business. Plus he just looks like a giant meat ball.

If he did do anything like harassing one of the divas, it's mostly due to his own fault. If it's because of something that he has said or done backstage (it's happened in the past) it was because of his own temprament. At least that's my view on the whole matter. I wonder if he's in this Friday's SD! or not now...

Maybe it is because Orton is not happy about Rey winning the tittle at WM22 since he probably thought that it was his time. So he could have said something negative about Vince and the company after the match. Guess what, according to the spoilers on www. prowrestling.com, he jobbed to Rey clean AGAIN. (It is probably the way how Vince wants to punish him.) The good news is the The King of the Ring is coming back next week at SD!. Unfortunately, Orton will wrestle ankle on the first round and I can see him job clean again before take the suspention for 2 months. Undertaker is also occupied with the Mark Henry feud since Vince simply does not want him to win the tittle again. I am sorry to say that, but the next 2 months will be the darkest era of the WWE history... :(

The reason why UT is still feuding with Henry is because Vince does not want UT to have his last major title reign. (One of the reasons why Vince is a moron now.) Therefore, he needs to have the feud going to keep UT occupied.

That could be the case. Orton has been notorious for his mouth backstage and he probably did say something stupid to someone out of rage that got him suspended. Sucks that he's not gonna be winning the title anytime soon, but I guess that would sufice as a punishment for his mouth.

It's interesting to see that the WWE is bringing back the King of the Ring. Wonder what made them do this all of a sudden? It's gonna be interesting to see who all they throw into it when it starts. It's not a suprise to me that they don't have Taker winning the title anytime soon. It seems like these days he only appears every couple of shows (sometimes once a month) and then you don't see him again for a while. That's probably why he isn't getting a shot at it at the moment. I thought that maybe 22 would be his last WM, but I could be wrong...

They are bringing back King of the Ring! Awesome, how did you find that out?

Dream_of_Duke brought it up. I think he said he found it on a website and that it was coming back to SD! next week sometime.

It happened on the Smackdown tapings so we'll all get to hear the announcement this week. If it does happen I think Lashley will win it.

I'm glad King of the Ring is coming back. I think it is a great way to give super stars a push.

That's how Edge and Brock Lesnar really got a push.

A note about Orton's suspension it starts on April 12th (next wednesday) which explains why he was on Smackdown and why he's announced for next week,remember the Smackdown tapings are done on tuesdays so I think they'll do some sort of angle so Orton is can serve his suspension.

Thanks for this info, it explains a lot. It's going to suck not having Randy around for a while. He is currently one of my faves. I guess now I will just need to continue marking out for MNM, Finlay, Carlito, and the Spirit Squad.

sweet, kotr returns! Wonder if it will be during teh summer like it used to be. I had always liked the tournament style of doing things if done everyonce in a while. kotr was always cool to watch.

Wow, it seems that you only like heels. Personally I only like a couple of heels like Randy Orton and Edge, although my favs are faces like BATISTA, ANGLE, MYSYERIO, well you get the point.

Can I become a member here? I was a wrestling fan for awhile until I lost interest (but still followed it from time to time), but have had a renewed interest since WrestleMania 18.

Some news for you all regarding the Backlash PPV, if you haven't heard. The main event has been announced as John Cena, Edge, and Triple H in a Triple Threat match for the WWE Championship.

I can't wait for KotR and also ECW Another One Night Stand. But this year it will suck because most of the well known ECW wrestlers like the Dudley Boyz and others are in TNA while the ECW PPV is owned by WWE.

It has been rumored that Kane is going to win the WHC title from Rey at JMD since his DVD will be soon released after that. I see Kane somehow get into the tourney can win it to become the No.1 contender. (He is not feuding with anyone at RAW now.)

I'm with everyone who says it should be RVD/Rey for the WHC title at ONS. Having a WWE belt decided on the show is something I'm against, but if it has to happen, let two ECW guys fight for it. Keep the WWE guys off the show this year, they're a needless distraction.

What happened to the original ECW belts? Well I have a couple of solid answers, and two "um...":

World Heavyweight Title: The belt was left in the possesion of Rhino when the company folded. Rhino has admitted to since selling the title on eBay.

TV Title: Was thrown down by Rhino at Guilty As Charged 2001 so that he could challenge and defeat The Sandman (a mix of shoot in the work here, as Rhino said the title didn't matter anymore because "we're not even on fucking TV anymore"). The belt however disappeared in the confusion that night, and has not been seen since (I'm sure it'll pop up on ebay some day, or some fan somewhere has it).

Tag Titles: Last held by Danny Doring and Roadkill, last I knew, they still had the belts in their possesion.

FTW title: Originally a TV title spray painted orange. That belt was retired, and probably discarded. An actual FTW title was made for Taz to carry later on in his reign, and was briefly held by Sabu. The belts were unified at ECW Living Dangerously '99. My assumption is that Taz was given possesion of the now purposeless FTW belt, and is still in possesion of it.

As far as replicas, a replica ECW World belt was made by WWE, and has been for sale on they're site since at least last year's ONS. It's a bit pricey though at about 100 plus dollars.

And his new movie: See No Evil. I saw the trailer and it looks good. I can't wait for it.
