This week was the last week of ECW :( and to make matters worse for people like me, Ezekial Jackson became the new and last ECW champion defeating Christian just before the end of the show. Jackson has also now officially become the shortest reigning champion in ECW history with a title reign of 2.59 minutes.
The reasoning behind this title change was because Vince McMahon wanted 'Big Zeke' to have some momentum going his way on his way to Smackdown. There was talks of leaving the title with Christian but these were shot down.
Personally, this has annoyed me. I really would've thought it'd be better to leave the title with Christian instead of changing it just before the show ended. What kind of momentum is that! I don't like Ezekial and I think that this is another reason I don't like the fact that he won. Also, it would've been nice for Christian to have the title till the very end. Give everyone something to cheer about! I do miss the old ECW now though :( I think it will definatly be missed. RIP ECW!

Speaking of the old ECW, Joey Styles has posted a blog on the WWE Universe about his thoughts on the end of ECW.
"I feel both ECW and my announcing career should have been retired after the ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view back in 2005.........The Original ECW was a gritty and underground pro wrestling alternative to WWE's perfectly produced global entertainment product."
Now Joey has been very outspoken in the past about WWE and how scripted it is and how it's entertainment but, he does in his blog, give WWE some credit for giving some stars a global fanbase.
".....launching pad to RAW and Smackdown for young talent like CM Punk, Sheamus, Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger and many others."
"...the greatest thing that came from WWE's ECW was ECW originals Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman and Sabu finally wrestling for a global TV audience and earning the career validation they deserved when they joined Rob Van Dam at Wrestlemania 23 at Ford Field in Detroit."
He thanks Paul Heyman at the end of his blog for giving him the chance to be in pro wrestling and to Vince McMahon for letting him call ECW when it became part of WWE.
