Joey Styles' ECW MEP, ECW's website & more reaction to Sci Fi TV debut
On Friday, June 16, 2006 at 4:12 AM EST Joey Styles has an article up looking at his ECW MEP (aka Most Extreme Player of the week). Styles chose The Zombie and has lots of fun with the character in his entry at this link.
Speaking of Styles, PWInsider.com is reporting that he has been very vocal about wanting to have a presence on the ECW website. Given that Styles had a history with the previous ECW website, it wouldn't be a shock that he would also want to play a role this time around as well.
As we reported on earlier this week, the general feeling among many within WWE was that ECW's debut on Sci Fi this past Tuesday was a bomb despite the strong rating. However, many have categorized the rating as being strong due to a curiosity factor surrounding the show and fans wanting to see the new ECW brand on TV. PWI added that even Vince McMahon himself realized the show wasn't good, but that he didn't make that clear to many backstage. There is said to be a lot of pressure internally to make this week's show much better. The opinion right now is that fans will more than likely return on Tuesday night to give the show a second chance. So if they don't deliver and produce a show like they did last week, this "experiment" could be ending faster than expected.
