The Complete Guide to WWECW


WWECW was a cool little booking vacuum that I missed most of during the initial TV run. I started watching when Finlay and Regal were on regularly, but that was a few years into the run, and much more towards the end of it. I don't think it was very popular at the time, but it seems like it has a cool WCW syndicated vibe. A quick internet search for "WWECW" brings up hilariously whiny web musings, including an article titled "Why the WWECW is a Waste of Time" (sample quote: "Vince McMahon and the WWE has destroyed what was once a great wrestling company and turned it into your typical WWE program.") and urban dictionary defining it as "The WWE's attempt at resurrecting ECW under Vince's control. WWECW will never be as good as what ECW used to be." So yeah. Let's let someone who actually enjoys wrestling decide what was good and bad about WWECW.

En Busca de la Idolo -FINAL

6/20



Very good final, between the top two wrestlers in the tourney. Match was going good with Hechicero throwing Cavernario around early. Cavernario took briefly over until he caught his kneepad on the ring pad and ended up crashing and burning on a dive. Hechicero clearly called an audible and really worked over Cavernario turning this clearly into an underdog fighting to survive match. Cavernario got a couple of big hope spots, including the craziest superfly to the floor yet, but was mostly on defense, absorbing a beating and clawing his way back by biting at the knee, and headbutts. The finish was great, Cavernario survives some big spots, including a Liger bomb and a powerbomb into the turnbuckles, and as Hechciero gets him up in a submission he squirms down and hooks in his knees to the back camel clutch which has been his kill move all tourney. Really great match, with both guys on the fly working in a blown spot into a compelling match. Hell of a finish to a hell of a tourney
