[wrestling] Well, damn

[kierthos]

Sabu has been released from WWE.
Sandman is probably going to be released soon too.
Rob Van Dam's contract runs out within the next couple months.

Looks like TNA is going to be hiring some ex-ECW wrestlers.

I'm wondering what the point of ECW is right now. I mean, if the plan was to drive it into the ground so that the name is pretty much tarnished forever... well, WWE has done that.

Vince is the ECW champion? Check.
Firing all the people who made ECW in the first place? Check.

What's left? For Mick Foley to show up on ECW and spit on the remaining originals?

Frankly, ECW should be dropped and the wrestlers on it should be reassigned to one of the other two brands or let out of their contracts. Furthermore, a new position needs to be created for WWE.

"Head Bitchslapper"

Every time someone, yes, even Vince, comes up with a stupid idea... I mean, bone-fucking stupid, this person would bitch-slap them.

Vince: Hey I think I should be champion of ECW.
Bitch-slapper: And that's my cue.
Vince: Hey, what are you doing?
*bitchslap*
Vince: Ow! What was that for?
*bitchslap*
Vince: What, the champion thing? It's a good idea!
*bitchslap*
Vince: Okay, it's a lousy idea, just stop hitting me!

HHH: You know, when I come back from being on the injured list for several months, I think I should have a title shot right away, regardless of what it means for any existing feuds.
Bitch-slapper: You're making this too easy.
*bitchslap*
HHH: Ow! What?
*bitchslap*
HHH: Okay! Okay! I'll work up towards a title shot over the course of a few months, making sure that I'm actually in shape first.

Stephanie: I have an idea for...
*bitchslap*
Stephanie: You didn't even hear it yet! *cries*
Bitch-slapper: Call it pre-emptive medicine.
