It's been a crazy week at the ECW office, GM William Regal has stated that he has a few MAJOR announcements for the next ECW on Sci-Fi show as well as the completed TV Title Tournament brackets. Also he has said that ECW will go through some roster changes in the upcoming future. He also had this to say about Tommy Dreamer
"It's sad to see how far Thomas has fallen. Once called the "heart and soul" of ECW and look at him now, he's older, slower, and weaker. Last Tuesday, against the real heart and soul Elijah Burke, was living proof. He enlisted the help of that drunken barbarian the Sandman to fight his battles when he knew he couldn't defeat Burke. No matter I will handle you Dreamer! The ECW roster may be in need of a change sooner rather than later..."
What does this mean for Tommy Dreamer?
CM Punk, who did not get on Regal's good graces, will face an unamed opponent of Regal's choosing to determine who will be the number 1 contender to champion Chavo Guerrero's title the following week. Regal had this to say:
"I will not reveal the opponent until the show. Let me just say that it is not who you think it is and Punk, I know you're reading this you better watch yourself sunshine, you do not go against the Regal Regime without expecting serious reprecussions!"
A Regime indeed as Regal added more superstars to his faction, newly crowned ECW Tag Team Champions John Morrison and The Miz have joined the "Regime" and have targeted the No. 1 contenders Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore. Morrison defeated Moore last Tuesday in singles competition. The 2 teams will clash on 2/19 for the ECW Tag Titles. This feud is just warming up!
After a sound victory over Balls Mahoney Charlie Haas had this to say about the TV Title:
"Over the years I have been overlooked. Bouncing around at the proverbial glass ceiling. Well here in ECW I aim to break the ceiling. I used to align myself with other wrestlers, well no more! I am my own man now and I am on a mission, and that is to prove to EVERYONE that I am the best damn wrestler there is and when I win the TV Title everyone will realize that I am the elite athlete here. That's all. I'm not here to prove that I'm the biggest or the strongest I'm here to prove that I'm the best at what I do. Wrestling. "
The roster changes have started already as GM Regal has signed a young superstar named Roderick Strong from the Florida independent scene to an ECW contract. Strong will make is debut at the 2/19 show. Also look for more updates as the roster continues to grow and more talent from WWE Developmental will be called up in the near future
Speaking of young talent, 2nd Generation superstar Harry Smith, son of the late Davey Boy Smith, and his tag team partner TJ Wilson collectively known as the "Stampede Bulldogs" will be making their debut on the 2/12 show in NY. They are scheduled to meet Paul London and Spanky. This is going to be a tough one as a victory over a veteran team could catapult them into Tag Title Contendership. London and Spanky have also made claim to the titles.
William Regal "protoge" and Regime leader Elijah Burke demanded a spot in the ECW TV Title Tournament and Regal has granted his match to take place at the 2/12 show in NY. The opponent has not been named. Burke had this to say
"You're savior is here. Fear not loyal fans Elijah Burke will save you! It don't matter who they face me off with, I thrive on not knowing my opponent. Whoever it maybe you just better watch yourself boy cuz you about to get 4 upside ya head! And Dreamer! I ain't through with you! Mr. Regal has some plans for you boy! It's about to get real ugly for you. You may not have a job for very much longer!"

Another note from the GM's office:
