Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Heyman has done the impossible. It is common knowledge that he is not the greatest business man with his trial and tribulations in the original ECW. But now, he has taken control of Extreme Championship Wrestling once again! Shane McMahon has re-hired Paul Heyman to save ECW and this will all start in October with the first ECW Supershow, "The Resurrection of the EXTREME!" The wrestling world is buzzing as Paul Heyman has been given a HUGE budget to sign some of the brightest wrestlers in the entire world. Stars from the WWE, TNA, ROH, and Japan will all be apart of Extreme Championship Wrestling.
Without furter ado, here is the official press conference in which Shane McMahon gives the reigns of ECW back to where they belong....Paul Heyman!
Shane McMahon: Ladies and gentleman, thank you for joining me here today and I know a lot of people are wondering why I have asked the press to be here today and it is because I have an announcement that will shake the very core of the World Wrestling Federation and the wrestling world in general. One thing that my father and I always disagreed on was the fact that there should always be another show in town. For years, my father prided himself on taking out all of the territories throughout the United States. And then more recently, taking out the likes of WCW…and the reason I am here today…and that is E…C…W!
Shane McMahon: As you know, I have always been a fan of competition and one of my closest friends at the moment is none other than Paul Heyman! Paul has opened up my vision for the business in a completely different light. He has been to nearly the top…and he has been to the very bottom. Although my father is telling me that this is a huge mistake, I am here today to officially announce the immediate return of EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING! Not the watered down Sci-Fi version that my father fed to you, but the way ECW is supposed to be! I am taking the handcuffs off of Paul Heyman…and we’re going to make history in the wrestling business. And to be honest with you, the only involvement that I am going to have is…the money! I will provide the funds necessary to have ECW become a standard in professional wrestling…and I will also do everything in my power to make the World Wrestling Federation rule the sports entertainment industry like never before. So without further ado, I bring to you the Messiah of EXTREME…Mr. Paul Heyman!
[Paul Heyman walks out and up to Shane McMahon who stands up and shakes hands with him. Heyman waves to everyone and then stands at the podium.]
Paul Heyman: First of all, I’d just like to thank Shane McMahon for being the true man that he is. He thinks completely out of the box and is giving all of the wrestling fans what they want…when they want it. When I took my position as a top consultant with the World Wrestling Federation, I was out to make changes. I was out to bring the world back to what we all know and love and that is professional wrestling. Believe me, there is a place in this industry for Sports Entertainment…but that place is the World Wrestling Federation. Mr. Shane McMahon has given me the opportunity to resurrect ECW the proper way. The way it should have been done in the first place. Shane, thank you! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
Paul Heyman: NOW! We have signed a television deal with USA to bring you LIVE ECW wrestling each and every Thursday night at 9 pm eastern time! We will bring you one three hour ECW super-show per month. We will bring ECW back to the small, intimate venues that ECW is famous for. We will bring you the most exciting, action packed professional wrestling in the world and we will do it for each and every fan that has stood by us throughout the rough times! On Thursday, October 23, 2008, we will bring you our first show back…LIVE from the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania titled…”THE RESURRECTION OF THE EXTREME” This will be a 3 hour show, and fans will get to witness what we are all about LIVE on USA. Fans, I brought the ECW Championship back to World Wrestling Federation television with the vision of having a taste of ECW in each WWF broadcast. At The Resurrection of The Extreme, four men will do battle in a little match entitled…DOUBLE JEOPARDY! Four men in the ring at the same time competing in two separate matches…the winners of said matches will compete immediately in another match to determine the ECW World Heavyweight Champion! And the participants in these matches will be Jeff Hardy taking on The Samoan Submission Machine…Samoa Joe! The winner of that match will take on the winner of Lance Storm and “Mr. ECW” Rob Van Dam!!!
[Another round of applause is heard…]
Paul Heyman: Mr. Shane McMahon has allowed me to choose some talent from the World Wrestling Federation roster, and in return, I will continue to provide my creative to WWF programming for the next year. Just recently, the Intercontinental Championship has become vacant because of the brutality involved in the epic battle between Chris Jericho and Sabu…well, on October 23, Chris Jericho and Sabu will go one on one in the ECW Arena and the winner will become the NEW ECW World Television Champion!
[Jericho vs. Sabu on October 23, 2008!!!!!!!!]
Paul Heyman: There will be many ECW wrestlers of the past…and many wrestlers that you have never seen in an ECW ring before! I promise to each and every one of you that on October 23, you won’t have to worry about seeing sports entertainers boring you with the same old shtick each and every week. Extreme Championship Wrestling will be cutting edge, hardcore, and up in every single wrestling fans face!!! Ladies and gentleman, The Resurrection of ECW is officially upon us! Thank you!!
WOW! ECW is coming back with a vengeance! Now, after RAW airs on October 20, 2008, ECW is set to broadcast a one hour special hyping up the HUGE debut of the new ECW Thursday Night Show entitled, “ECW Presents: ECW Uncensored!” Paul Heyman is your host…and he will be unedited, uncensored, and in full hype mode for the biggest show in the history of ECW!
