New ECW World Champion... Big Show?
Well, you gotta give it to Paul Heyman (or whoever is running the booking for ECW right now): putting the ECW World Title around the waist of the Big Show is a gutsy move. It's an interesting attempted resolution of the predicament that RVD caused by getting nailed for drug charges. But is it the right resolution?
Time will tell.
Show has been doing a good job of morphing into the 2006 version of 911. He can go out, effectively squash his opponent, and look like a monster while doing so. Can he carry the show for however long RVD's suspension will be?
Again, time will tell.
Tonight's episode of ECW was much better than what we've seen the last couple of weeks, by the way. A couple of quick semi-squashes (props to Little Guido for putting over Knox, especially since Guido will be around years after Knox has been let go), a much-less-cringe-worthy sports entertainment gimmick for Sandman to cane the bejezus out of, Test's debut (poor Al Snow), and the RVD/Big Show drama. This episode actually lifted my hopes a bit for the new ECW.
