For those wondering, ECW's TV debut on Sci Fi last night was written by Paul Heyman and then tweaked by WWE creative. This process pretty much put an end to those given the impression that Heyman would have full creative control of the brand. It is very clear to wrestling fans right now that this new ECW brand is a Vince McMahon production after that show last night. According to those backstage, Heyman wrote the show to meet McMahon's expectations and visions for the new ECW.

Speaking of Paul Heyman, those who were backstage at the TV taping last night in Trenton said Heyman made it very obvious that he thought the show was an utter train wreck. Others who were involved with the show also had the same feelings as well. The general opinion of the event among many, if not all, in the company was that it was a complete disaster.

The reason the Tazz vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler match from the ECW One Night Stand PPV was added to the show was because it ran very short and WWE needed to fill time for the full 60-63 minute timeslot. The company also missed a few cues during the "Extreme Battle Royal" and production was forced to fix the mistakes in the 90 minute window they had before the show aired on the Sci Fi Channel.
