I am so disappointed in this show. From the Cena-Edge fiasco to Sabu winning the battle royal over the Big Show, this show was a complete and utter failure…

Kurt Angle will never be ECW to me. The Sandman drinking beer amongst ten year olds does not reflect his character properly. Just the whole atmosphere of this show is wrong. I’ve been watching ECW since 1995 and everything I thought could possibly go wrong with this show has. At about the halfway mark, I’m switching the channel…
