2006, WWE.

You said this before, that it was nuts. Vince McMahon was desperately trying to figure out what his product was going to be, and the end result was everything. If one attempt doesn't click, we pivot and go totally in the other direction, I guess at least you can say it was never boring. It was very often offensive. To carry on what we have been doing recently, though, let us take a trip down, memory lane, because I am Simon Miller, and yeah, it's the absolute worst of WWE in 2006, number 10, the ECW zombie.

This was always the fear. When WW brought ECW back to life after the super successful one-night stand event,

hardcore fans assumed it wasn't going to be

authentic. They then found out the TV station airing it was going to be sci-fi. I remember the

reaction to that. It's kind of ironic. It was utter terror. It was also strange because a huge reason

for the momentum returning was down to the fall of ECW DVD that WW released. That thing smash

records and told management are high.

There's still a market for this.

Logic would tell you, you just go back to what was.

Nope, let's just use the letters and see what the flood happens.

The first ever episode actually got people pumped because Paul Heyman, Edge, Lita and even

John Sina got involved, but that was short-lived.

And why? Because come the main event, we got a big debut, the arrival of a zombie. Yep. It looked like it had just

fallen out of a bad Resident Evil game and was only there to get caned by the Sandman. It really

did feel like WW had decided this was the right way to cater to both the fans and the TV executives, but that never works. It just got both sides mad. The match, if you can call it that, only went 19 seconds, which sort of felt like you had been shortchanged, but moreover, a zombie. And if we got a zombie on day one, what on earth was next? It also just told these hardcore followers this wasn't going to be the ECW of old,

and that wasn't what they had been sold. It was meant to be a throwback. Instead, it was extreme

wrestling. As per Vince McMahon, it turned out that was very, very strange. Amazingly, it was

Shane McMahon that had the best plan for this. Why don't we make it online only show? Because

then you can get away with more. Talk about being ahead of the game. Number nine, December to dismember. Which could have been the worst pay-per-view of the year known as 2006. I mean, just go online and read about some of the arguments before it did go down between Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon. They had totally different ideas for what the new ECW should be,

and as the company was Hayman's baby, well, he wasn't going to take it lying down. You can see on

the screen right now Paul's face during the Elimination Chamber Main event, because yes,
