im guessing you are 14 or younger.... 21. The NWA style of wrestling appeals to me more than the hardcore or high flying action that ECW produced. NWA style wrestling should have stayed dead when ECW attempted to kill it. NWA style matches ALL THE TIME are boring. also WWE has no more passion. ECW did. if you say the new ECW had passion, then you really need to recheck everything cuz since when is making Vince the most despised man in wrestling ECW Champ, ppl like bobby lashley champ, hornswoggle, the zombie, big fat oily guy and Batista and Big show in the Hammerstein Ball Room passion? that was a spit in the face to ECW. That's why I loved last night because I did not want the last image of ECW to be Ezekiel Jackson holding the ECW title. So summerslam and Vince McMahon!

Not with the Mattel lines. Which sucks because I'd have loved Mattel versions of Taz, Shane Douglas & Impact Players to go with my Tommy Dreamer.

WWECW > Paul Heyman's ECW WOW! How is that crack you're smoking? EDIT: to be fair I can understand liking the NWA style wrestling over hardcore, but that is not Extreme Championship Wrestling therefore making WWECW nothing but a joke. And ECW had more than just high flying and hardcore, they also had your NWA style. They had it all except the money of the WWE or TNA.

But as I said, its wrong to say that ECW's bigger guys are 'stuck' in TNA. I wanted to say "stuck with Jakks," but I didn't want to incite another war, lol. A proper Taz is my top wish. (That black towel that came with Elite Kane is such a tease.) For now I just have to wait and hope Mattel comes out with a Ivan Koloff to act as a base for a custom.

I'd like to see:
Lance Storm Sandman Sabu 2 Cold Scorpio Bam Bam Bigelow Mike Awesome Shane Douglas Tajiri Justin Credible Chris Candido
considering I know they'll never make guys like RVD or the Dudley's any time soon.

Zombie was one episode and it was a joke that PAUL HEYMAN made. Big Dick Johnson did not appear more than once that I can think of. And again that was still under Heyman. Didn't Heyman want to push Lashley? Yeah he sucked as champ. But I'm sure there were some champs who sucked in the old ECW. And regarding Show/Batista, ECW never had two big guys go at it and suck or a match that didn't fit in with the ECW name?

Would be cool to have a Mattel RVD one day.

yeah when did sabu even puke in the ring? and my last image of ECW is all the original guys in the ring and Tommy saying "that was one hell of an F'n Pay Per View!" and the fans thanking dixie and saying F*ck you vince! Just because you guys are marks for a garbage WWE product that isn't about pro wrestling anymore doesn't mean you can hate on the real ECW and TNA.

Yeah, a bunch of losers chanting "thank you" at a MILF with a rich daddy at the end of a crappy PPV is real "extreme." Ericmw92, you're a very silly boy. The "real" ECW died almost a decade ago. It had its funeral in 2005. TNA's show was just digging up the corpse, and the corpse stank. Now Dixie's done with her grave robbing, she can get to trying to improve the actual TNA product. For us real, discerning fans (ie not blinkered fanboys like yourself), that would be tremendous.

Lol, in the HCJ thread I made similar comparisons, except I called TNA's ECW a hideously mutated zombie.

I laugh at someone talking crap about NWA with Dr D in his sig.......WOW.
Also "most" people's version of ECW was Steve Corino on TNN....Sorry kiddies but that wasnt ECW. ECW wasnt allowed on cable tv.

The collection of ECW guys that Jakks put out were some of my favorite parts of my collection. Getting Mattel upgrades of those guys would be a dream come true. As long as all of them don't sign contracts with TNA, I don't see why they wouldn't get figures.
Sabu and Sandman are my two biggest available wants. But a Taz in Elite style is one of my most wanted figures. Any classic ECW guys they make, I'll buy

Hey, I don't dispute that at all. But as I said, its wrong to say that ECW's bigger guys are 'stuck' in TNA. For the ECW guys, TNA is a good deal. WWE is definately not the place for the ECW originals. What would you rather do? Come in for an angle and then be thrown off afterward because the angle is over. Or Have a bigger pay check and maybe job, but you still get to wrestle every week and you have a steady paycheck and job. And neither company is going to make you World champion. RVD is the current TNA World Champion and hed probably be tagging with Santino in WWE (i dont wanna knock Santino but hes not exactly the main focus of raw)

I don't think what took place at the ppv will have any sort of effect on a particular superstar being made. The ECW guys are just doing what they're told, so I doubt Vince would harbor any ill will over what was done or said.
BUT as long as they are on TNA, they won't be made.

This depends on what you mean by "ECW figures". We already have figures of:
Steve Austin Dusty Rhodes Chris Jericho Rey Mysterio Terry Funk Jack Swagger Christian CM Punk Kofi Kingston The Miz John Morrison Big Show Kane Chavo Guerrerro Mark Henry Finlay Matt Hardy Koslov Ezekiel Jackson Sheamus Yoshi Tatsu Goldust Evan Bourne Tyson Kidd Hornswoggle Hurricane Mike Knox
and probably more that I cant think of right off. These guys have all wrestled for ECW at some point in their careers, even if it was the watered down WWECW version. Now, if you mean "have Mattel contacted the ECW originals that are in negotiations for working with TNA right now, or other Heyman era ECW guys who have no talent and haven't been seen in years", then the answer is almost definitely NO, atleast not for a long time. Dont get your hopes up, but then again, there's only a small list of talent that I think would even really sell from the older ECW days.
