from Wrestling 365 newsletter:
At this point most WWE wrestlers are under the impression that the
planned 6/12 ECW One Night Stand PPV will still go ahead. An official
announcement is expected soon after Wrestlemania. On a related note,
(and this started off as nothing more than talk) a group backed by Shane
Douglas has booked the ECW Arena in Philly on 6/10 for an ECW tribute
show. Raven, Sandman and Francine are just some of the former talent who
have committed to Douglas' show. Tommy Dreamer, representing the WWE,
has been contacting various guys all week offering dollar figures for
appearances and made it clear that they wouldn't be welcome on the WWE
PPV if they appeared on Douglas' show two days earlier. I guess the war
is on...
Wonder if Paul Heyman is allowed to run the WWE show however he wants? If not, Douglas's show could be better. What if WWE can't get Sandman, Raven, Francine (linked to Shane's group), as well as Sabu, Terry Funk, Chris Candido, Justin Credible, Jerry Lynn, etc.
Then the WWE card is just that - a WWE card. We see The Dudleys and RVD and Tazz and ****e and depending how far they go back, Benoit, Guerrero, maybe Foley & Austin, Jericho...
The show shouldn't include anyone who jumped to WWE before Taz did...
Opinions?
