The thought that TNA was going to bring back Extreme Wrestling hasn't sat well with me. Its been done. Scratch that, its been done HORRIBLY by the people up north in 2006. 2005 doesn't count because it was a one shot deal, and it was a great show. Fast forward to 2010, I just finished reading an interview with Tommy Dreamer over at SLAM SPORTS His motivation is the same-he wants to celebrate the legacy of ECW, and he wants to give back as well.
You wanna really give back than please have an independant wrestler show up during your match. Have Jimmy Jacobs sit in the crowd (wearing an EVOLVE T Shirt) After Dreamer's match is over and he is being interviewed by Jeremy Borash, have Jacobs stand and pretend to clap. Have Dreamer pretend to break character and yell at Jacobs "what the hell are you doing here". Have them get into an arguement have Jacobs get in the ring and repeat his promo from EVOLVE 1. This shouldn't take 20 min it should be done at a rapid fire pace, and the announcers shouldn't talk over it. If Dixie wants to get involved fine, but she needs to be slapped by Jacobs. Have a few other indy wrestlers be with Jacobs. The reason I chose Jacobs is because of the promo he cut on Dreamer.
If all this sounds a bit too familiar it is. Remember when ECW was at a WWE PPV? The old ECW was about unpredictability and great wrestling, and paving the way for new stars. THAT'S EXTREME! THAT'S HARDCORE! THAT IS/WAS ECW (at least to me)
