WWE News Evan Bourne says the WWE version of ECW is superior to the original ECW By Jason Powell Jun 5, 2009 - 10:18 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing 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."

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. HELP SUPPORT DOT NET!
