Looks like Tazz and Tommy Dreamer are the only ECW originals still around. Who shall be next to go?

And here come the original ECW marks to BITCH and COMPLAIN about how now "the original ECW is officially dead" even though Balls was worthless

Kelly Kelly is sure going to be upset

i guess we finally found out how his date with kelly kelly went.

WWE has no balls.

I absolutley hated Balls Mahoney.

Posted By: Ramon Aranda (Registered)  on April 28, 2008 at 03:35 PM

 
 
I like Balls...

OH, Mahoney, never mind... i don't like him.

I thought you were talking about something else.

That sucks. As much as I like Balls Mahoney, though, I have to admit that there wasn't much use for him. I mean, it would be nice if they could have kept him at least so SOMEBODY from the REAL ECW could still be around, but he really wasn't much of a singles competitor. He never ammounted to much in singles action. He was best as one half of the Hardcore Chair Swinging Freaks, so without Axl, there wasn't much for him to do. Dreamer and Tazz are left. I think Nunzio (Little Guido) is still there. Stevie Richards is still there too. I think that may be it. At least Joey Styles is still employed by WWE, but not for ECW anymore.

Mahoney was and is one of the most underrated performers in pro wrestling today, and I guess he'll remain such for the foreseeable future.

OH LAWD IT'S BLACK MONDAY!

"WWE has no balls" Damn classic. Good thing they cleared up his whole thing with Kelly. I like seeing an angle come to a close like that, with all loose ends tied up. This just in, Balls Mahony was driving the White Hummer. Points for anyone who gets the referance.

THE "FUTURE ENDEAVORS" SEASON IS UPON US!

Posted By: Jamal (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 03:47 PM

 
 
Wait... what? He was still with the company? Didn't they get rid of him back in 2007?

Posted By: Peers (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 03:48 PM

 
 
Balls is gone but Mike Knox and Snitsky are still around.

FUCK YOU VINCE AND YOUR FUCKING HARD ON FOR BIG JACKED MONKEYS.

Captain Caveman for life

Amen Ramon, I hope he gets bankrupt and loses his house

@ the mad redneck - Bischoff?!

god, WCW sure did suck at the end.

4-28-08: The Day the Original ECW Died. Let's all have a moment of silence..

Ha ha go fuck yourself, natedoggcata. Smartass.


Posted By: MP (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 04:03 PM

 
 
PHOENIXZERO speaks the truth. I wonder who else today will be wished the best in their future endeavors.

Posted By: JJ (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 04:04 PM

 
 
Dont forget about Stevie Richards.

Posted By: SaveECW222 (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 04:04 PM

 
 
"Future TNA Champ"
More like "Future ROH champ"
Don't think Gabe won't book that.


Posted By: Sean B. (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 04:31 PM

 
 
Right, the next TNA champ. Watch TNA sign him and try to bill him as the hottest free agent around and have Angle job to him or something.

Posted By: Lucid (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 04:49 PM

 
 
It's kind of for the best I think that he is gone. WWE never used him properly and it's said they didn't but hopefully he does better elsewhere were people care.

Posted By: SMRPG1 (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 04:55 PM

 
 
So they release Balls and yet they're still paying the Boogeyman.

That sucks.


Posted By: Sanchez (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 05:06 PM

 
 
Finally, an official admission of what many of us have merely speculated upon for years: The E has no Balls.

Posted By: McLovin (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 05:20 PM

 
 
I would care more, a hell of a lot more, if Balls was worth a damn.

He had some entertaining junkfests in the original ECW, but he wasn't fit for WWE or their style. Much like Dreamer, and most of the originals he is better off elsewhere.


Posted By: CarnivoreJ (Registered)  on April 28, 2008 at 05:29 PM

 
 
This sucks. Balls seemed like he was trying hard to be a company man by dropping weight and generally being an all around good sport. I guess this isn't too suprising since he hasn't been seen on TV in months. Guess we're down to Dreamer, Richards, Nunzio, and Tazz now.

Posted By: Wesgr81 (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 05:48 PM

 
 
That sucks, the Balls/Kelly storyline was my favorite angle in years (I'm a sucker for wrestling romances for some reason).

Posted By: RepoMan (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 05:55 PM

 
 
Where's cena going to get his jean shorts now?

Posted By: Scrotum Pole (Registered)  on April 28, 2008 at 06:48 PM

 
 
This sucks Balls! Balls Mahoney is the shit, I'd actually love it if he went to TNA.

Why do they even call it ECW? Change its name to Smackdown Jr. or something.


Posted By: Diarrhea Moustache (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 06:49 PM

 
 
see ya in XPW. balls mahoney is a badass. so that means we have dreamer and stevie left. they should just combine ecw and smackdown and drop the ecw name all together.

Posted By: hellboysetsfire (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 06:50 PM

 
 
I want to see tons of "WWE has no Balls!" signs in the near future

Posted By: Diarrhea Moustache (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 06:50 PM

 
 
I didn't know he was even still on the roster.

Posted By: Mark 4 CM Punk (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 06:56 PM

 
 
Eh..it was bound to happen. Too bad I was a fan of his back in the day.

Posted By: JayPayDay (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 07:13 PM

 
 
Balls was fun to drink with!

"Looks like Tazz and Tommy Dreamer are the only ECW originals still around. Who
shall be next to go?


Posted By: Kristian (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 03:30 PM"

I believe we still have Stevie Richards and Little Guido kicking around somewhere, too.


Posted By: The Informant (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 11:00 PM

 
 
Considering he was a hardcore expert who never truly adapted to WWE's clean style I don't see why they should've kept him. besides he looks too indy to market. basically he was a little fish in a big pond.

Posted By: Davy (Guest)  on April 28, 2008 at 11:18 PM

 
 
I'm not suprised, but I am dissapointed. I still think Balls could have been a good enhancement talent, along with perennial jobbers Val Venis and Little Guido.

Oh, well. Sandman was a bigger loss.


Posted By: G-Walla (Guest)  on April 29, 2008 at 12:20 AM

 
 
WE LOVE YOU BALLS!

Posted By: Balls' Fans (Guest)  on April 29, 2008 at 08:27 AM

 
 
I am curious to see if all the ex-ecw originals will show up in PWG or XPW. I am sure eventually a few like rvd, sabu or maybe dreamer might show up in TNA, but I dont think that they are suited anymore for TNA than they were for wwe.

Posted By: asz420 (Guest)  on April 29, 2008 at 09:28 AM

 
 
Na na na na Ball Sacked. And about time too

Posted By: Ball Sacked (Guest)  on May 02, 2008 at 05:59 AM

 
 
Stevie Richards and Nunzio aka little guido are also ECW originals

Posted By: Jake (Guest)  on May 05, 2008 at 02:16 PM

 
 
my favourite ecw original is gone yeah nice move lets start ecw originals countdown i hope he signs with tna

Posted By: Guest#4522 (Guest)  on May 06, 2008 at 02:55 PM

 
 
yeah they can call it velocity
