I can't tell you why, but my guess is it's just nostalgia for being in the former ECW Arena, nothing more. People want to "live in that moment" again. I've always thought it was silly, especially when I'd go to independent shows and see guys that had nothing to do with ECW getting those chants for going through tables.
Where is Evan Bourne?
Bourne never returned from a Wellness suspension as he was in a car accident and badly mangled his foot in the wreck. He's recovered and has been working out and is cleared to return to the ring. We mentioned in the Elite section awhile back that he'll return when WWE Creative is ready for him. My guess is he returns by the Rumble.
Is the Urban Wrestling Federation dead?
I've heard that reps for the promotion are still trying to pitch ideas for the concept to different urban-based TV provides but the longer it sits in stasis, the less of a chance it will return to form. So, as of right now, it's dead but if the right deal comes along, Steve Karel and crew will revive it immediately.
Who the hell is EC3 and where did he come from?
TNA's EC3 is actually Michael Hutter, who broke in the business in the Cleveland area and worked for WWE for years as Derrick Bateman, most notably on NXT. He had a lot of bad luck and injuries that hampered his WWE run but so far in TNA, he's done a really good job.
Why doesn't WWE run on New Year's Eve?
The show wouldn't draw.
