I remember that WCW had Jeff Jarrett go through Triple Threat Theater against three legends on a Nitro and the following happend: Tito Santana botching and the match makes "that Gayda match" look like Flair-Steamboat a shitload of outside interferences from legends

last night's Piper's Pit aka the death of the Pit.
Would have been better off as a highlight reel with no Piper
If you can reply to this, you're smarter than me for still being here. I had so many second chances that they became third and fourth chances. And what did I learn from them? NOTHING!
Please don't be a halfwit like I was. It won't help my cause much because I won't know where to respond to. Thank you.
How has the first episode of ECW on Sci Fi not been inducted yet? The highlights:
-Believe it or not it, the run-up to the show actually started out pretty promisingly. First, Tazz gets in the middle of the ring and practically says, "Screw Smackdown, a Vinnie Mac creation, I'm going to announce some place better. I'm going to ECW." Then RVD, a non-Vince creation, beat his golden boy John Cena (who actually played heel this match) for the title. You can say that McMahon looks down on ideas that weren't forged on his shows, but it looked like he was willing to put that aside for ECW. Oh...how we were fooled.
The Show itself. --Starts out with Paul Heyman presenting the ECW championship to RVD. Rob, is now sheepishly still holding the WWE title and the fans know what's being foreshadowed here. He's going to channel Shane Douglas trashing NWA title. The fans are chanting "throw it down." Heyman even teases the crowd by pointing to the WWE belt and says "what are you going to do with that one?" RVD can only do one thing...he says, "Oh, I'm going to keep this one too." Immediately boos cascaded down, onto the man who got one of the biggest pops just a few mins earlier.
And that was the moment the show, and all of WWECW, went horribly wrong. 7 minutes, that's all you got. That everyone knew that this wouldn't be the new ECW. This would be Vince's vision.
So who would be the first wrestler announced for a match on ECW? Tommy Dreamer? Sabu? Hell, even Stevie Richards??? If you picked The Zombie congrats, step right up and get your cookie. But its all right because some familiar music started playing over the speakers. The tune that tells everyone that the Sandman is coming down to make everything right again. Just kidding, it was some generic stuff that no one knew or could react to.
Next up is a hot blond named Kelly telling us that she's "an exhibitionist." In case you're unsure of what that is, she tells you that she's going to take off all of her clothes for us tonight! Now if you're saying "don't be silly, its never going to happen because this is the Sci Fi channel. They can't show that" you're quite wrong. It doesn't happen because she's physically unable of taking off her clothes. Seriously, she does a strip tease and turns her back to the camera and spends 30 seconds failing to undo her bra (yes, I actually timed it. I took the time to research the piece, and I did it all for you guys, naturally). Surprisingly, the girl manages to save the bit by pulling the front of her bra up and putting her hands over her breasts before spinning around to the audience and we all felt horrible.
Finally, we get a 10-man EXTREME battle royal that suddenly becomes an 11 man contest when Big Guido decides to enter...and does very little.
I could go on and on (hell, this thing is half an induction already). But this, my friends, is Wrestle Crap. The world is a worse-off place because this has not yet been inducted.

I think the Zombie is inducted, could be wrong. I actually liked it as a swipe at Sci-Fi.

Yes, the Zombie was previously inducted. However, it wouldn't be the first time a character that was previously inducted appears on a show that also makes the land of the crappy. Its definitely one of the worst shows ever, which is even more disappointing considering the build up it got.
Suicide. Turning a character from a video game into a wrestler. Turning a charactr from a crappy video game into a wrestler. The feeing of discomfort as you watch a character called "Suicide" descend to the ring on a zip line. Putting two of your more over talent under a mask to portray him. An angle about his identity that only made sense to people who knew enough not to buy the angle.
Royal Rumble 1995. No fewer than 13 wrestlecrap inductees in one match. Having two of your best workers (Owen Hart and Bob Backlund) both thrown out inside of 20 seconds of entering. New entrants every 60 seconds so everything feels rushed. A 49 year old Dick Murdoch. A Dusty finish. A guest appearance by Pamela Anderson who clearly could not have been any less interested.
