There has been a lot of talk over the Internet the last several weeks about a rivalry of sorts between WWE's ECW One Night Stand PPV on 6/12 in New York City and the Shane Douglas promoted 6/10 event at the ECW Arena. From different sources that I have spoken to over the last 7-10 days, most of (if not all) these accounts are false. At no point was any talent contacted with offers to work for the WWE event and in return not work the Douglas show. WWE is taking a stance that the outside talent that they use for the show are independent wrestlers that are coming in for a short term one week deal and getting a payday to appear on the ECW PPV, as they want to present what was described to me as, "authentic ECW." So, while some talent may work both shows and others may not, depending on who is booked where, there is absolutely no truth to WWE paying talent not to appear on Douglas' event. I don't know where it started but there's nothing to it.

In a move that is equally shocking and surprising, according to TNA sources, WWE representatives (I'm assuming Tommy Dreamer) contacted TNA last week about the possibility of TNA sending Jerry Lynn, Kid Kash, Douglas, and Raven to the 6/12 PPV since all four were major components of Extreme Championship Wrestling during their runs there. It doesn't appear at this point that TNA will be sending their talent to the show at this time. Just the fact that WWE even considered allowing TNA talent to appear can't be seen as anything but a major positive for the ECW PPV, as it shows they are going into the show trying to be respectful to the old ECW talent and not omitting anyone. In all actuality, this wasn't going to happen though due to the political issues at large in the business, but it was classy of WWE to ask.

For those who have asked about whether the longtime voice of Extreme Championship Wrestling Joey Styles will be calling the show, he was approached at the same time Sandman, Justin Credible, and other outside talents were contacted. Styles has been very vocal on his website 1Wrestling that he will only be appearing at the Shane Douglas promoted event on 6/10 (and vocal about WWE in general after turning down a job opportunity with the company several years back), so it will be interesting to see if he appears at the PPV.

NWA Wildside announced on their weekly TV show this weekend that Tony Mamaluke (who works regularly for Wildside) had come to terms with World Wrestling Entertainment and would be appearing at the 6/12 ECW PPV. It stands to reason that Mamaluke will be reprising his great Full Blooded Italians tag team with Little Guido (aka Nunzio in today's WWE) at the show. The pair held the ECW World Tag Team championship in 2000.
