Massive, totally unmissable issues like Tommy Dreamer vs. Daivari.

There's sarcasm dripping out of every syllable in the above sentence, and it's deliberate. As if a soft relaunch of WWE's ECW brand wasn't bad enough with wrestling zombies on the debut episode, along came December To Dismember at the end of 2006. For the record, it sucked.

Paul Heyman palming his forehead during the main event Elimination Chamber match said it all. This was as far away from his original vision for extreme as it could possibly be. The truth is though, that Chamber match didn't kill the crowd. They were already dead following an uninspired undercard starring gems like Dreamer and Daivari.

Following a respectable tag match between The Hardy Boyz and MNM, the card took a nosedive. By the time it got to Daivari stealing a school boy win over an old ECW favourite and The Great Khali beating him up afterwards, fans in Augusta wanted their money back.
