ECW: December to Dismember

Sun, 03 Dec 2006 21:26:13 GMT

ECW's first Pay-Per-View since being relauched is tonight. A lot of people have complained that this is NOT ECW, and simply WWE's watered down version of it. I can't really put a good argument against that... but I've been trying to give this "new" ECW a chance. Now tonight being they're first PPV you'd think that the WWE and the powers-that-be would have promoted the shit out of this event, and given a good build up. Well the main event had a decent build up... what about the rest of the card? Well... if there was a card... it is a little over 3 hours before the event goes live... and if you go on the website (ECW presents December to Dismember) there is only TWO matches announced so far! No word of a lie... and the second match was only made in the last week.

Now I know that WWE and Vince McMahon probably weren't expecting the buyrates for this PPV to be high... but Jesus! They could help a little by actually making up a card for the show and promoting the matches! Although the main event does seem good... even though Test is in it. I fully expect the buyrate for this Pay-Per-View to be totally abismal, and there's no one else to blame that Vince McMahon and the higher ups. Wrestlers can't put interest in matches, when matches aren't even announced. The PPV as it stands now:

ECW Championship Match

Extreme Elimation Chamber

Bobby Lashley

Team Extreme Open Challenge

Matt & Jeff Hardy

MNM

Johnny Nitro & Joey Mercury

Stef's Place: Pro Wrestling
