Sci Fi taping this Tuesday, ECW returns to Philly tonight, and announcing
On Saturday, June 24, 2006 at 3:42 AM EST Although it isn't listed on WWE.com, the scheduled SmackDown TV taping this Tuesday in Roanoke, VA will indeed feature a live taping for ECW on Sci Fi.
The reason this was newsworthy is because ECW returns to Philadelphia, PA tonight at the former ECW Arena and many were under the impression that they would be filming for Sci Fi this Tuesday. As of right now, that isn't the plan and the show will instead carry a strictly House Show format. Francine, Test and CM Punk are all scheduled to work the show tonight along with the other ECW roster. Sorry, Extremists.
Justin Roberts will handle ring announcing duties for all ECW House Shows and for ECW on Sci FI according to his official website. Former ECW announcer Steven DeAngelis was scheduled to be part of the new ECW brand for all events, but a decision was made to go with Roberts for all events. DeAngelis actually attended the first ECW Sci Fi taping, but was later sent home for unknown reasons.
