EV2(ECW) + TNA = CALL OF DUTY 2 AND LISTENING TO MY GIRLFRIEND SUNDAY NIGHT

Someone thought this was a good idea. Tommy Dreamer crying about his friends being fired and the pain he was in while "they" ruined his baby. Then Dixie Carter playing Mother Theresa and granting Tommy his wish by giving him full control of this Sundays TNA PPV. Where Dreamer and his friends can make TNA their own personal playground. Dixie opened her arms, her ring and her precious PPV platform and TV time to EV2(ECW) because she shared in that immense pain as expressed to her in one on one's with former ECW wrestlers backstage and in airports across the county. How charming! What a heart warming story. The only problem is that Dixie Carter is more concerned with healing the wounds of Vince McMahon's throwaways than making money and properly running her company.

By all accounts, Dixie Carter is a really good person but that is also her biggest weakness. Dixie is very loyal, refusing to fire long term employees like Vince Russo. Dixie believes in people and many wrestling stars who are really lousy human beings have gotten second chances with Dixie because she's a good person. That is a great thing and good qualities to have but when you are so nice that it hurts your company you have a problem. Dixie's resurrection of ECW is only to compare and contrast her Mother Theresa promoting style against Vince McMahon's grind you for every penny your worth style.

Dixie's obsession with caring for Vince's victims now brings us closer to the death of TNA than ever before. Dixie and her creative chucked out the promoting of her main roster of loyal wrestlers to allow a bunch of ECW guys the chance to have one night to finally close the door on ECW.  Problem is THEY ALREADY HAD THAT PPV IN 2005!!! Not only that but the original ECW One Nite Stand was one of the best PPV's in wrestling history and there is no way they are going to top it on Sunday.

Back 2005, WWE promoted ECW as a special one time attraction. Most of the ECW guys never wrestled in the WWE. TNA however, cannot say the same. Other than Tommy Dreamer, TNA has had mostly everyone that will appear Sunday on their roster at some point in the past few years. Once you begin to look for the true ECW experience from TNA you realize they just can't deliver that. From the letters E-C-W, to Joey Styles, to Paul Heyman, to the ECW arena or the Hammerstein Ballroom. I get the feeling like Tommy Dreamer was really crying because it will be his fault that the last "ECW" show was crap. TNA could have had a really great TNA PPV showcasing TNA talent that desperately needs it and maybe they're own young stars could have a moment in time they'd want to re-live in 20 years.

The show will probably get more than the 8,000 PPV buys the last 2 TNA shows got and I guess that is a win. Another way to look at it is TNA has more faith in a roster from 1995-2000 to deliver some numbers that the current TNA roster hasn't. How can you have a roster that includes Hulk Hogan, Jeff Hardy, Ric Flair, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Kevin Nash, Kurt Angle, RVD and Mick Foley and still not make money? If TNA is going to last they have to start building their own brand and stop reviving the carcasses of Vince McMahon's long dead victims. That's what Dawn Marie's charity is for not your wrestling company Dixie! Maybe Dixie Carter thinks that wrestling fans will look at her favorably for doing this PPV and sample the TNA product but in reality wrestling fans are looking at TNA just as they did WCW and ECW back in 2000 all the while wondering how long until Dixie's Dad pulls the plug.

BTW Dixie thanks for the date night for my girl this Sunday because now I get Summerslam Sunday free and clear.
