- Tiffany was upbeat during last night's finale ECW.
When questioned, the former
ClubWWI.com guest said she's always dreamed of running a company into the ground until it's destroyed by its fed-up owner.
- In a related story - Hulk Hogan in six months.
- Ezekial Jackson became the final ECW Champion with his win over Christian Cage last night.
Reports backstage say that Vince McMahon is really behind the idea of a Jackson push - so much so that he has finally stopped mistakenly calling Ahmed Johnson.
- On the debut edition of NXT, WWE announced that it will showcase 8 developmental stars alongside 8 WWE "pros."
When first told that he would be a "pro" for NXT, Carlito took three days before believing that WWE wasn't actually giving him a prostitute gimmick as a joke.
- Internet Man-Crush Lovefest Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan) was teamed with his mentor, The Miz.
In an effort to make it all sting for Bryan's fans even more, for the debut episode WWE plans on having Miz destroy a first edition Superman Comic, a World of Warcraft strategy guide, and the guy who plays Dr. Who.
- Fans wondering where many of ECW's big names will end up after the show shouldn't worry too much now.
After all, they'll have years to wonder that.
- There was talk of maybe bringing back some original ECW names for the final show.
After much deep thought, the decision was made not to.
- By the term "much deep thought," I mean "Vince McMahon laughing until he puked."
- If you could build a time machine and go back to 2003 and tell yourself that the final ECW show would air in 2010 with Tony Atlas laughing through most of it, wouldn't you have thought you were from some sort of alternate universe?
How did we get here?!
- That whole Vladamir Kozloff/Shelton Benjamin handshake was huge.
It got almost as big a reaction as when the ring announcer explained the rules for flash photography to the crowd before the show began.
- On a side note, last night's TNA tapings saw Hulk Hogan use a barbed wire baseball bat.
It's ironic they did this during the final ECW show.
Also, looking to capitalize on the end of this brand, TNA is planning on having Ric Flair lead the "WOOOO WOOOOO WOOOO Express."
They figure he usually wears half a pair of pants anyway.
-
- Former
ClubWWI.com guest Dustin "Goldust" Rhodes was said to be confused about his new assignment following the end of ECW.
He reportedly called the office numerous times asking about this new show called, "GO THE F**K HOME."
- Big Show and Miz together are commonly called "Shiz."
So does that mean when Miz was with John Morrison, we should have been calling them "Jizz?"
