Please add your comment and send a get well wish to Chick Magnet Mike Tobin. Mike was injured at Saturday night's show. (Note: All comments are moderated before published.)
Magnum sends well wishes to Mike Tobin
Magnum would like to send well wishes to Chick Magnet Mike Tobin. A weapon of mass seduction myself, Magnum knows first hand what it's like to be swarmed by women wherever you go. I'm guessing Mike is making the bold and courageous move to surgically implant a negatively charged rod in his arm so that, if the crowds of women prove too much to handle, he has a device handy to repel parts of the doting fans. God speed, Mike! And good luck.

Get Well Mike Tobin, from Ace Darling
I wanted to take a minute to make sure Mike Tobin knows how much I am pulling for him to make a fast and full recovery. He has always been the guy to help put smiles on everyones faces in the back. He has always done everything he can to help out the show and help out whoever needs it. You're a true pro. I am sure he is feeling pretty down right now, but soon this will be a thing of the past and you will back making us laugh. It's important to try and stay positive and focus on getting better.
By the way, how do you snap your arm literally in half and not scream like a little girl? I mean that's what I would have done! You were hardly selling it! You're a man Mike!
Your Friend,
Ace Darling

Alec Chance speculates on the Freak Nastty attack
Freak has been around a long time, and looking into the way he treated his superstars at the last show it’s no surprise that someone attacked him. The assault on the other hand was brutal and very violent as Freak did not move after. The dominance that the attacker had to display left the entire locker room in a frenzy. The real question is, do you look to the superstars with the greatest motives or do you look to the quiet ones who haven’t gotten their CHANCE at the top with guys like Freak Nastty in charge?

Jim Shorts on Nana vs. Vida Loca
Wow … you think some masked superstar is gonna put a hurtin' on the Prince? You ARE mistaken! All I know is that a mask limits your vision and you’re gonna need eyes in the back of your head luchadore boy …
Hey Nana … if you’re reading this … one good eye poke should finish the job! And Loca Vida, Vida Loca, whatever your name is … pack your bags, grab your green card, and head south of the border where you belong … and on your way grab me a chalupa. Ill meet you for spring break.
Insincerely,
Jim Shorts

Photographer Joe Zanolle on what's developing
Hey, this is Joe Zanolle. I am the photographer for ECWA and a contributing photographer for Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) magazine. I am just checking in on the new ECWA blog here with some thoughts on the May 10 show at the Newark Boys & Girls Club.
I am very excited about this upcoming show. The show will host one of the best main event match-ups in a long time when the new ECWA Champion "The Beast" Glen Osbourne meets with the new Mid-Atlantic Champion "The Indy Icon" Ace Darling!! I always liked when the two top single champs faced each other, like when the WWF/E Champ would wrestle the I-C Champ. It's something special you don't see too often. I have known Glen since 1990. He is a true veteran on the indy circuit, and he has the respect of every guy in the locker room. However, the same can be said of Ace Darling. He has been around almost as long as Glen, and is every much a respected veteran that Glen is. This match-up will be a real treat for not only the fans, but for the guys in the locker room too, as they watch two guys they admired and looked up to breaking in the business. As far as the match itself, both are equal on experience, but Glen has the edge when it comes to power, while Ace may be the more technically sound wrestler. Also, Ace won't think twice when it comes to bending, or breaking, the rules to gain an advantage. I have to go with Glen on this one. Glen's career has just gotten a second wind and a definite confidence booster with the title win over Mr. Scott Wright, after Wright managed to finagle a couple of questionable victories over Glen. Also, Ace has the tendency to become overly confident, and cocky, as evidence of J.J. Cruz's recent win over Ace. If Ace gets too cocky, Glen will exploit it and pick up the win!
The tag team title match is also interesting with the Logan Brothers, Matt and Bryan, taking on the massive Nigerian Nightmares. I like the Logans a lot. They remind me of old school tag team tandems like the Rock and Roll Express, the Rockers, or the Midnight Express. You see them as a unit and not as two individuals in a team. They do a lot of cool double moves that seems to be a lost art. Also, both have had great success in their forays in singles competition, as Bryan recently vacated the Mid-Atlantic Title when he and his brother won the tag titles, and Matt did great in the Super 8, where he beat Rob Conway in the first round, and gave Jerry Lynn everything he had and then some before eventually being pinned by the ECW vet. The Nightmares are in a league of their own. These two behemoths will have the psychological advantage right off the bat. The face paint, the music, the handler, their entourage, etc. They have a surreal aura about them. Surprisingly, they are quite athletic and agile for men of their size. The Logans need to avoid locking up with these guys. They need to stick and move, hit them with running momentum based attacks, make quick tags, do a lot of double team moves off the tags, and keep these guys off balance and on the mat. Also, the Logans can use the size of the Nigerians against them if they get them winded. The longer the match goes, the better chance the Logans have. If the Nigerians get a hold of the Logans, they could be in for a long night of hurting. However, since this match is now a No-Disqualification match, I don't like the Logans’ chances.
