DX IS BACK!

average age of ECW fan is much higher than the average age of a WWE fan, and all the ECW fans hate Cena, coincidence? i think not, only kids like Cena.

he cant wrestle, he's survived a year as champion on 5 moves, one of which is a punch to the face of a felled opponent. His 'charisma' is tired and old and the only reason he was champion that long is because he sold shirts... shirts that clearly only kids want, as proven by ECW.

when the camera focused on Cena's face you could see clear dejection in his eyes, he put on a brave face and played to the crowd at points, but for long periods he was visibly shaken by the reactions of the crowd.

"If Cena Wins, We Riot!"

Until Triple H decides he doesn't want to be a co-worker anymore, and chases the title again, thus turning heel on Michaels. I give it two months at most.

I don't know what Cena is trying to invade ECW for, the WWE just need to let ECW run alone.

these guyz actually think some of these wrestlers stand a chance in the MMA.

no offense to the whole entertainment of wrestling, i use to be a fan too, but let's be serious...

no way can any of the wrestlers stand a chance in Pride & K1 or even in the UFC octagon.

eyo, Sean o haire is a perfect example

Just because their job is to wrestle, doesn't mean they can't fight.

Let me change the subject really quick, do you guys think Samoa Joe is one of the best wrestlers in the world like goldberg was. I dont like him at all but sadly people say hes arguably the best. What do you guys think

it's entertainment^ he's undefeated right? i heard something about that

best wrestler in the world right now is probably Josh Barnett

others would be:
Matt Hughes, Sean Sherk, Randy Couture, and Rich Franklin.

i'd say kurt angle would hold his own as he has wrestled competively. i dont see why some of them wouldnt.

Sci Fi is ECW...and Jericho, too
By Louie Dee
June 14, 2006

The current ECW wrestlers invade Sci Fi Channel every Tuesday night, but another ECW alumnus will soon be seen on Sci Fi as well. Chris Jericho stars with Joseph Lawrence in Android Apocalypse, a Sci Fi Pictures Original Movie that premieres next Saturday, June 24 at 9 p.m. ET.

So what is Android Apocalypse about? “It’s sort of a modern day Defiant Ones, if you’re familiar with that,” Jericho said in a phone interview. “A guy kills an android and is put in jail, but there’s a wreck when he’s taken out to the prison planet. The prisoner and android then have to co-exist in order to survive. It was originally called 2 Human, but Android Apocalypse has much more of a sci-fi feel to it.”

Jericho plays TeeDee, who despite having a small presence is one of the story’s central characters. “TeeDee is the android that the prisoner kills to get everything going,” he said. “My part sets up the movie; my character’s demise is why the rest of the movie takes place. It’s a smaller part but it’s an integral role.”

Jericho auditioned for the role in Los Angeles, and the film was shot last summer in Saskatchewan. “It’s been about a year in post-production, which I think has to do with all the CGI effects and such.” Jericho then laughed, adding that “it’s been so long I’ve actually forgotten most of what I did. I just remember I had a great time doing it and I’m pretty excited to see what it will look like.”

While Jericho has years of experience performing live all around the world, he is excited about seeing his work on the small screen. “It was very cool to be involved with, and it was sort of a movie making boot camp,” Jericho laughed. “I did a lot of stunt work and there’s a lot of CGI involved, so it’ll be interesting to see how it comes out. (In one scene) I had to fire a machine gun at this crazy robot in the sky, which of course was just a red light I was shooting at. I’m really excited to see what the final product looks like.”

Sci Fi Channel is of course the home of the new ECW. Jericho, a former ECW Television Champion, is excited to see the rebirth of his old home. “It’ll be interesting to see how it works, there are a lot of variables,” he said. “You can’t rely totally on nostalgia, or else it’s just like a reunion tour. They have to keep it fresh and build up some new stars as well, but I think it can be good.”

Speaking of One Night Stand, Jericho says many people wondered why he wasn’t at the Hammerstein Ballroom this year. “A lot of people ask that; I get more questions about that than about not being at WrestleMania,” he said. “I wasn’t really that much of an ECW staple but I guess I was associated with ECW a lot more than I thought. It was the first place I made a name for myself, but it’s not like I was a staple like Tommy Dreamer or the Sandman.”

Still, Jericho feels the presence of his former profession. “I’ve got a movie on Sci Fi and two weeks before that debuts ECW starts up. I can’t get away from it,” he laughed. “It’s like if I turn a dark corner, (wrestling) is right there staring me in the face.”

Overall though, Jericho thinks the new ECW will succeed on Sci Fi. “The way those fans are, it would succeed on pretty much any channel it’s on,” he said. I think it would work whether it was on Sci Fi or the Oxygen network. Wrestling fans will follow it to wherever they can find it. Of course, if we find out that Sandman is really an alien that has plastic skin and eats rats or something, that might be too out of control,” he added with a laugh. “Or maybe Sabu is a Vulcan…actually, that might explain his inability to feel pain most of the time.”

From ECW to WWE to the stage and screen, Jericho has pretty much done it all. However, he did say that he’s happy where he’s at now for one big reason. “After years of being Chris Jericho, it’s nice to finally play a different role,” he said. “It’s the first time I get to see myself in those shoes, so I can’t wait to see how Chris Jericho does TeeDee the android that has no emotions. It’s a big step in my career.”

Jericho also said that another great part of the experience was working with the rest of the cast. “I got to work with Joseph Lawrence, who you might remember from Blossom. He’s been acting since he was a little kid, so that’s kind of cool,” he said. “I learned a lot, but I also taught them a thing or two when it came to the fight scenes because those come so natural to me.”

Fear not, fans; Jericho will be back on the live stage later this summer in Toronto (which you can read more about here). Until then though, be sure to check him out in Android Apocalypse on June 24…and while you’re watching Sci Fi Channel, stick around and take a look at ECW as well.

True, but fighting, and fighting under the rules of MMA competition are completely different things.

After a damn good PPV with one night stand, the WWE sure crapped on their premier of ECW. I wasn't expected much but jesus, they could've at least not insulted my intelligence.

If they want the new ECW to succeed they need to try to separate themselves from WWE, not use stupid invasion angles and bridge RAW and ECW together. And if the WWE isn't going to pony up the dough for Metallica's "Enter Sandman" at least get Sandman some decent intro music!

At least TNA is putting out a good product, though for the life of me I can not stand Tenay and West.

By the way, if you haven't seen this Lex Luger promo...it's probably the funniest botched one ever. I DON"T KNOOOW!

Superbrawl Satuday!?!?!?!?!

😆

I've been watching because of ECW, and I see they brought DX back. It already sucks. How do you bring back DX but not give them the same enterence music? Fission Mailed.

I'm liking ECW though.

Most devestating/favourite (either/or) finishing move?

canadian destroyer, unprittier, musclebuster, dead level(suplex piledriver)

Favourite all time wrestling moment?

when shawn michaels inpersonated hulk hogan on the fake talk-show and super-kicking the host in the end...hilarious

Favourite all time wrestler?

Kane (masked, unmasked...i don't lare cause he's KANE)

Favourite era?

Austin/McMahon era.

Most underrated?

In WWE, super crazy, lance cade

Most overrated?

reyrey, batista(sux)

Most wasted?

finlay...want to say hardcore holly, but he's injured so he can't be wasted

Best promo/s?

the one with the rock and the hurricane where the hurricane saw him naked

Favourite type of match?

elimination chamber

If you could bring back one match of any stipulation what would it be?

boylerroom brawl

If you could make anyone the WWE champ, of any time, who would it be?

hardcore holly or rhino

The only reason DX is back is because Triple H is at the stage in his career where once again he needs someone to carry him or else he's just going to be one pile of sh-.

I'll give it to survivor seris he'll use Shawn to fued with the S.Squad for awhile win the tag titles with him then stab him in the back like he does all of his "best friends" and then they'll be right back fueding again.

But I hear that chick Tori and X-Pac are coming back *sighs* they need to bring the best female wrestler Chyna back then things would get better.

And I don't inderstand all this Backlash Mickeals is getting about his crotch chopping. Just because he has a "new faith" doesn't mean he can't crotch chop. I mean it's not that serious goodness.

Oh well but I think DX might be the stable WWE desparately needs to be the link back to the attitude era.

I doubt you'll ever see that happenin again, not with her and HHH's past, and her problems with WWE before that. Besides, she's fallen off anyway, and has gone a little nutty in her time gone.

Well I've seen her earlier this year and she looked alot better since her stint on the surreal life.

Also I think she's over Triple H I mean it's been what 7 years now.

But yeah I think there could be a small possiblity I mean the WWE has forgiven people who have done much worse i.e. Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, Sable, at one point Brock Lesnar and the lists goes on and on.

Although I doubt it'll happen that's what I would like to see from WWE this summer.
