I actually never watched ECW at this point so not fully sure what to expect, but liking this so far! It'll be interesting to see if there are guys you bring in from other companies that fit the ECW style. I think there's a few from those mid-'00s ROH days that come to mind.

Liking where you're headed with the Rhino and RVD feud - it's one that even if RVD can pull the first one out, you can run it back because there's a lot of cool things you can do with those guys.
Pulling for Awesome to keep the belt but I think there's a shot you put it on Sandman to flip it over to Raven. Just a hunch!

- PROMO: The ECW TV Champion Rob Van Dam and Bill Alfonso talk about how much of a threat they see Rhino is to the TV title – but the “Whole F'N Show” has been Champion for nearly two years and has seen off bigger threats than this one; Rhino can take all the cheap shots he wants but when the bell sounds at Living Dangerously - “Mr. Pay-Per-View” will live up to his name.
