Got a question for the next episode? send it to typesthetalk@gmail.com (or pm me forum members) and get a shout out on the show as well as the question discussed and answered. Questions on this episode include why the original ECW went under, Sid Vicious returning to WWE, whether Braden Walker should return to TNA and why WWE haven’t ever released box sets of Raw, Nitro and ECW TV episodes.

ECW was a partner of WWE's against WCW, but it really was more of development territory for WWE. Vince funded them for a while and let guys still under contract to WWE work for ECW(Justin Credible and Sunny are examples). From what I understand, they never just took guys from ECW. They always let them use WWE talent or gave them talent or gave them money in exchange. I don't think WWE going towards a more "Hardcore" product affected ECW as much as people think. I mean, ECW towards the end wasn't that great. Plus, Heyman's horrible business sense didn't help either. WWE just saw what the fans wanted more of and gave them that. Smart business move, really. ECW died because of ECW. Obviously WCW and WWE didn't help too much, but the blame rests mostly on ECW themselves, imo.

The fact that Heyman went straight to WWE, shows they were in cahoots. -------------------- I Own This Gaff!

I thought the WWE/ECW working relationship was fairly common knowledge back in the day. I remember fans being all pissed off when Al Snow got called back to WWF because he was in the midst of his big ECW run. Seems like people were saying he was next in line for the title. Am I wrong or wasn't Justin Credible (Aldo Montoya, at the time) actually released from WWF? I remember him later re-signing with WWF after his ECW run. Was he still under contract to WWF when he went to ECW and they just let his contract expire or something? Total agreeance on ECW dying because of ECW. No sane person could ever really argue against that. Not everyone is Tommy Dreamer: willing to work for free. -------------------- Jim Cornette, on Triple H: "And a sledgehammer? Jesus Christ, I wish he'd hit me in the head with it before he starts talking on TV."

I believe they let him work ECW while he still had time left on his contract and then just let it run out. I wasn't a "smark" or anything at the time though, so I may be wrong. Just going off what I remember reading a couple of years ago.

Have a nice day! I mean, really...do these fuckwits think someone is going to look at this bullshit - composed in a bizarre, mutant form of English - and say to themselves, "Well, shit! That sounds like a great offer! I better get to clickin'!" Fucking HELL! -------------------- Jim Cornette, on Triple H: "And a sledgehammer?
