"Talk continues that Vince McMahon may give the green light to revive the ECW brand name following WrestleMania XX.
The idea right now is to have Paul Heyman get fired from Smackdown and start ECW as a rebel brand. The thinking is that most of the ex-ECW wrestlers will work on the new ECW brand.
WWE would promote ECW as a "rebel" brand and not one of their official brands.
Shane McMahon may also get involved in this story if it happens, using his power to help Heyman start the rebel ECW group. WWE would keep the budget low for the ECW brand and would eventually expect to run one PPV per quarter for it.
The brand would likely get a one hour weekly TV show, probably on Saturday night replacing Confidential or Velocity."

Sounds good to me. ECW would be brought back, people like RVD would stop being wasted and new talent would get more space in WWE.

Yeah, I guess they might ruin it but he'd hand control over to Paul Heyman...Heyman couldn't ruin it.
True Raven, i forgot about how McMahon would ruin ECW like he's managed to do with RAW. Like you said i very much doubt he'd allow them to go as extreme as they used to or be able to get all the old talent back like Whipwreck, Kid Cash, Simon Diamond etc etc. Probably will suck as much as a HHH match.

This is a hideous idea.
WWE will of course own ECW, and I am guessing they will do a poor job promoting it as a seperate brand. They will also NOT have the balls to go as extreme as ECW.
I actually feel sick at the thought of this idea.
Here's a comparison:
Main Event for Saturday's one hour(bah) ECW show:RVD vs Rhyno for ECW title. "ECW rules" Meaning a chairshot or two. Match will have to be kept VERY short due to the show only being an hour in length. Probably about 10 mins. Also, if the show is the same timeslot as Velocity, the violence and swearing will be ZERO.
Remember Rhyno telling RVD to "go back home and smoke your f**king joints"
in the REAL ECW?
Main Event for Raw:Chris Benoit vs Kane for the World Title. Normal rules, but a bitter Triple H attacks Benoit with the Sledgehammer after a stunning 20+ minute match.
Main Event for Smackdown:Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle vs Eddie Guererro for the WWE title.
A delicious match, packed full of the usual wrestling skill on Smackdown!
WHAT would you choose?

"Will ECW get over here?" - No idea
WWE owns the ECW name the last time I checked so they would own the new ECW.

Be quite embarrasing for the WWE when this ECW stomps RAW and Smackdown in the ratings :-D
Very Nice. Rhyno will actually get used.
I have 2 questions.
1) Will we get ECW over here?
2) Will WWE own ECW?
You probably won't know those. Cheers for the info.
