ECW Legend Agrees with Bourne, Dreamer Winning ECW Title and MORE
Joey Styles has posted his recent comments on WWE Universe. . .
Styles talks Old vs New ECW: 
Speaking to the UK Sun, current ECW Superstar, Evan Bourne said the following,
“If you compare ECW now to the old ECW on TNN - we blow that show out of the water. Every week we blow it out of the water.”
As controversial as this may be, I agree with Evan. While I feel the Original ECW was superior to today’s ECW overall. ECW on TNN was an awful TV show and it showed the world that ECW was on it’s last legs by the year 2000.
However, the underground late night ECW TV that aired on various sports networks from 1993 through 1999 was groundbreaking and breathtaking. As far as I am concerned, The Original ECW had it’s much needed conclusion at ECW One Night Stand 2005 and I am eternally grateful to WWE for making that dream a reality.
Many of today’s WWE Superstars would have been a great fit for the Original ECW which was much more than the common misconception of being solely bloody weapons matches. In fact, future WWE World Champions, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Mick Foley, Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam all graced the ring at the ECW Arena with most of of them never shedding a drop of blood but instead putting on wrestling clinics.
Working with The Miz and Morrison, then dueling them together in the ring:
Working with and getting to know The Miz and John Morrison for over one year on The Dirt Sheet, I am thrilled that both of them are well on their way to becoming singles standouts. Eventually, Miz vs Morrison will be fun to watch.
MSG getting an $500 Million facelift:
Madison Square Garden is getting a desperately needed 500 million dollar renovation. As unpopular as this might sound, once you get over the great history of that arena, you can look at it objectively and see that it is an obsolete, overpriced experience for fans and performers. I look forward to working at the new MSG and taking Mrs. Styles and Joey Styles Jr. to MSG to see the circus.
Joey pinning the hopes of Tommy Dreamer winning the ECW title at Extreme Rules:
Win or lose, I will be first in line to greet Tommy Dreamer when he returns from the ring and his Do or Die matchup this Sunday for the hideous looking ECW Championship. ECW without Tommy Dreamer is like New York Yankees uniforms without pinstripes. Sure they would still be the Yankees, but they would be stripped of their legacy. Let’s hope ECW doesn’t lose it’s legacy this Sunday.
