THE ECW ZOMBIE

The relaunch of ECW three years ago (has it really been that long?) caused a lot of buzz among internet wrestling fans. Will Vince stay true to the original ECW formula? Can wrestling work on the Sci-Fi channel? Is there room for a 3rd WWE brand? The answers in order are NO, YES, and YES. We knew right away this wasn't going to be the traditional ECW that a small handful of us knew and loved at one time. On the first televised show of the new ECW a zombie came out and, uh, cut a sort of promo. Then the Sandman came out and beat his ass. That was the beginning and end of the ECW zombie. Now days ECW is usually a pretty good show, but alas there is simply no room for the Zombie. Who knows, maybe Zombieland will be a huge hit and things will start looking up for our decomposing pal. Here's his match with Sandman. Have a great day!

I was thinking of putting this up earlier today. I think the Zombie was the closest WWECW got to being like the old ECW.

That is what is so funny about this. This was the closest to actual ECW as they got.

Guy comes out with an embarrassing gimmick meant to mock WWE/WCW gimmicks, Sandman canes them.

The only difference is ECW would of kept booking Zombie and got him over.
