The entire office, production team and creative staff are really burned out from having to do nine-and-a-half hours of first-run TV last week. When it was over, the feeling was that it’s something that shouldn’t be done ever again. Vince McMahon, who prides himself in being something of an Ironman when it comes to endless work and never showing signs of being tied, was said to be showing his last week, particularly since he insisted on being all over television.
The 6/5 ECW with Vince sitting in a rocking chair was largely rewritten by Vince at the last minute and bared little resembled to the show ECW writers Dusty Rhodes and Dave Lagana put together. Their version of the show had no McMahon and no Lashley vs. 3 “ECW Originals” hardcore match.
Umaga didn’t go on last week’s tour of Europe because he was sitting at home to rest his injuries. He has a bad rib and a bad elbow these days.
