Lou D'Angeli (Sign Guy Dudley, Lou E. Dangerously) reviewed the new ECW documentary.
It was also covered here and here. I might have to check this out. ECW's pretty fascinating. I also wonder what it would be like today.
Here's a brief story on WWE's new Performance Center.
WWE is planning to continue recruiting non-wrestling athletes to make into WWE superstars. I'll judge that by what the results are.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Here's another look at Barbed Wire City. WAS ECW doomed to fail from the start?
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon talked about a number of topics. Given how high HHH is on the Attitude Era, I wonder if he'll bring that same "hands-off" approach when he has a bigger role in the company. I think it would be beneficial. The Attitude Era wasn't just blood and profanity. It was people having more free reign over their characters/promos and tapping into pop culture. I admittedly chuckled at HHH's juvenile "fire burning" joke. Lots of references to THIS BUSINESS. It's interesting that he'd be ok with stepping away from the ring, since JR pretty much said the opposite before WrestleMania.
Impact's audience grew to 1.27 million this week, which is still notably down from before WrestleMania.
Do you know who this is!?
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Scott Steiner. I might actually watch ROH if they made him a big part of the show. Or Kevin Nash just to hear him insult the "vanilla midgets". Smarks would rage so hard.
2. SHHHH!!!! Don't remind them that those titles exist. I hope they do just disappear. It's past time to discard them. Eric Young and ODB should surrender them and go their separate ways.
3. Both ideas seem to have merit.
4. There are a good number of people with potential who are on the sidelines. Cesaro's a good pick for someone who could be very successful. I'm also curious to what Michael McGillicutty could do if they got behind him.
Nothing to add to 5.
More wrestling tomorrow, and Blue Echo podcasts coming up.
