The original plan last night was to have Sandman come out and cane an alien, but Sci-Fi was fearful that this may turn away their (sci-fi) fanbase by having Sandman beat up on an alien, so a zombie was inserted instead.
Following up on that, it appears that there will be many more supernatural characters appearing on ECW in the following weeks.
In addition, Paul Heyman scripted last night's ECW show and fought with Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn on many aspects of the show, but in the end Vince and Kevin won out and what we saw last night is what we got.
