TNA announcer Taz posted a new blog today on Facebook reflecting on the end of the ECW brand in WWE, including being “very happy the letters ECW will finally get to rest in peace.”
Taz expressed his frustration with how WWE CEO Vince McMahon announced the end of the brand on last night’s ECW show without acknowledging any of the Original ECW’s contributions to the wrestling business from Paul Heyman or the ECW wrestlers.
“A lot of blood, sweat, and tears were dropped during the original ECW’s life! If you are going to thank cameramen & directors (etc.) than acknowledge the past history because it’s well deserved,” Taz said on his Facebook page.
Taz added that when he was around Vince McMahon in WWE, McMahon acknowledged it was WWE’s “responsibility to recognize the successes of the wrestlers of the past…even if they never wrestled for the WWF/WWE.”
“If you utilized the letters ECW to make a lot of $$$ over the past several years I would assume that your respect the history of ECW?” Taz said. “If you would produce and sell a successful DVD documenting the company’s (sic) history…I would assume you feel that the original ECW history has value…than why not give it a proper send off?”
Taz said WWE showed class giving Tommy Dreamer a proper send-off when Dreamer left the company at the end of 2009 and was given TV time for a farewell speech. He said he hopes WWE will give the ECW name and identity a proper send-off before the show goes off the air in three weeks.
