I saw them about six years ago, and it was a blast even for a small Southern crowd. Sabu landed practically in my lap, and the haunting smell of jasmine has stayed with me since.

Wait, that might have been the haunting smell of Jazz.

No Florida shows at all??? Fuck that shit son! I thought they said they were gonna hit all the old venues, and Florida was practically ECW's home away from Philly or NY. They better be here before the end of the year or else..... i'll just have to wait longer.

motherfracker, man.
can't they at least once a year come to the west coast... to the bay area more specifically... to san jose.
I'm not a fan of wrestling anymore but the one thing I was always wanted to see live is a ECW event. Heck I went to two wrestlemanias and a royal rumble and I'd trade that for some ecw action.

I only got to see 1 ECW event before they went under and got bought up by WWE. It was even a taped show. That was honestly the most fun I've had being at a live wrestling event. So...I'm totally down for this...even if it is possable that it may be tainted by the touch of WWE...but I'm willing to risk it to see some ECW fun and action.

No shit. I think Vince realizes that ECW will be a money maker for him IF HE STICKS WITH IT.

The only one that I saw was the Anarchy Rulez PPV in 99 and that fucking ruled. It was simply the most fun that I had at a wrestling event.

All I'm waiting for now is the announcement of a regular PPV scheduel, possibly every two months like the old ECW.

Also, like the total geek that I am, I'm excited to see what the redesigned belts will look like.

I'm just really excited for this.

Holy shit, I didn't even think of that. It never occured to me that they'll ressurect the TV and Tag Titles along with the World. Damn. I just got excited in all the right places.

I'm already calling Matt Hardy as TV Champ, possibly to support a feud between him and CM Punk.

It sucks i know. I'm gonna try and hit up the one in Racine. Racine is like halfway between Kenosha and Milwaukee, so that's like maybe a 40-50 minute drive for me?

July 8 - Racine, Wis. – Memorial Hall

How big are the venues though? ECW should be hitting up the smaller clubs for that intimate feeling, not giant arenas like the Target Center...

Main Auditorium

The Memorial Hall Main Auditorium is ideal for concerts, theatrical productions, special presentations and more. With seating for 1,500, this multi-use room can be easily adapted to suit a variety of functions.

With 8,400 square feet overall, the Main Auditorium measures 70' x 120'. This impressive expanse has a ceiling height of 45' at the center and can accommodate 1,000 for banquets, 1,200 in a theater setting and 700 in a classroom configuration.This should be awesome. Depending on ticket prices and if my buddy Dave wants to go, I'm totally going.

I wish they would come to New Orleans. Why can't they tape at the house show locations? It seems more ECW.
