ECW NEWS AND NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2014-11-22 10:21:15
Yes, even in 2014, I am writing that headline.

As we noted on PWInsider.com this week, Joey Styles, Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie filmed host segments for the ECW Unreleased Volume 3 DVD and Blu-Ray release, which will hit stores in April 2015.

On his Facebook page, Meanie noted one of the matches would be ECW World TV champion Chris Jericho vs. Shane Douglas from Allentown, PA, which was a great 30 minute draw at the time.

WWE posted the ECW Exposed Part Two with Paul Heyman and Styles talking ECW online for free. This was far and away the better of the two episodes since it was just the two talking and there was nothing over-produced for comedy:

Former ECW World champion and current TNA announcer Taz is launching a podcast in 2015. For more details, you can follow the show's official Twitter, @TazPodcast.

With the Royal Rumble in Philadelphia, there's already been talk of trying to use an ECW alum or two as a surprise to pop the crowd. Obviously Rob Van Dam or Tommy Dreamer fit that bill, but more interesting to me would be that Bully Ray and Devon, who have as much history as anyone in that city and haven't worked for the company since the first ECW One Night Stand PPV in 2005. That could make for an interesting scenario.
