Evan Bourne says the WWE version of ECW is superior to the original ECW
By Jason Powell Jun 5, 2009 - 10:18 AM |

Evan Bourne says he's a fan of the original ECW, yet he feels the WWE version is superior. "You can't make a direct comparison between the rosters, as we're so different," Bourne said. "But if you compare ECW now to the old ECW on TNN - we blow that show out of the water. Every week we blow it out of the water.
"I have tons of respect for Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Super Crazy, and Tajiri - as they were the guys I idolized growing up. I loved ECW. So that's why I'm so proud to part of the current ECW, to make sure the name has the same feel and fans feel the same way I did at that age.
"The main difference is that the original ECW's events weren't as large as ours. They were wrestling in front of 4,000-5,000, whereas WWE's arena shows attract 10,000." To read the full story, check out the UK Sun.
Powell's POV: I dig Evan Bourne's work and all, but he's out of his mind if he really believes this and isn't just being a company guy. Keep in mind that WWE wanted their version of ECW to run separate house show events and tapings, but there was no demand. Granted, that was a few years ago, but Evan is still using flawed logic. Honestly, though, I'd rather have him say this than something that would put him in the doghouse with WWE officials.
