Ok, I could talk about how ECW sucks, but why pull a Sean O'Haire and talk about stuff we already know. And why bitch instead of trying to help the situation? So we have:
The reinvention of ECW
Step 1: Stop advertising ECW shows and events.
Step 2: Have Lashley drop the title to Punk on a show in the main event
Punk is in the ring celebrating, suddenly No Chance hits and out comes Vince. He congratulates Punk and demands he leave the ring, but leave the title, assuring Punk he'll see it again. Vince gets on the mic and starts to laugh uncontrollably. Once he gets himself together, Vince tells a story. He says that once upon a time, there was this upstart wrestling promotion that challenged his wrestling machine and he buried it. That company was ECW. He boasts about how his machine pulled the plug on ECW and because it brought him such joy, he's going to do it again. Cut the lights, tear down this ring and as for the fans, get the hell out of my building. Lights go off, Taz and Styles are speechless as the show goes off the air.
Vince comes out on Raw the following Monday. He explains his reasons which mainly revolve around ECW being a waste of money and second rate back water promotion. He then says that ANYONE that had anything to do with ECW, even anyone who so much as held a camera, is fired. He talks about how anything ECW did the WWE machine did better. And that why he pulled the plug, again on ECW. It was an inferior product. He reveals the ECW title and drops it in a trash can, and then sets it on fire. Vince says let the last memory of ECW burn into ashes and fall from memory. vince puts a gag order on, if anyone even mentions ECW whether its JR, Coach, King or even John Cena the world champion, their ass is fired.
Weeks pass, not a word is heard from anyone regarding ECW.
A month after the 'gag order' the main event is taking place on RAW. The Hardys against Rated RKO. Just as Jeff goes up for the Swanton, something happens. It Punk and he drops Hardy with the Pepsi Plunge. Rated RKO spots him and goes after him, Edge going after Punk gets cuts off by Bobby Lashley and is speared into next week. Orton, confused, tries to leave only to get the ounce from Monty Brown. The three guys split as security runs down the ramp.
RAW opens the following week with a video documenting what happened. Vince cuts the video and flips shit. "NOTHING HAPPENED LAST WEEK! ECW IS DEAD! I KILLED IT! AS A MATTER OF FACT, I KILLED IT TWICE! ITS OVER! AND ITS NEVER COMING BACK! What? Do you think I'm worried about the champion of a dead federation and his band of rejects? Let them come, they will be dealt with."
Punk is seen in the back and bumps into Sheldon Benjamin. He's talking to Sheldon Benjamin casually. Vince sees this in his office, summons Benjamin and fires him on the spot. Declares that anyone seen even talking to an ECW reject is fired and a traitor. tThe trio seeks out certain guys, some rebuff the offer, some take it. Others seek out the movement and if deemed unworthy, get their asses kicked.
The weeks pass and the run-ins and interference with RAW and SD continue, with Vince acknowledging none of it. People join this 'revolution' Benjamin, Helms, The Hardys after their 'revelation' and two other faces. Kane and Snitsky, who after having the same revelation, decide that their only joy is hurting people. So this revelation starts 'The Movement' led by Punk, Sabu, and Brown. The Movement then takes over a McMahon less RAW and makes Coach their personal bitch.
Vince comes back the following week pissed and challenges the movement to come out and fight, with no reply. Vince orders them to respond with no result. Vince comes onto the stage at the end of Raw to gloat only to be destroyed by Kane, Punk and Brown who pounces Vince off the stage. They get on the mic and talk about how this movement has nothing to do with ECW. The name ECW means nothing, but its ideology lives on, in Punk, in Brown, and in the movement. Punk says that Vince is so desperate to make the people forget the past that he'll do Vince a favor. Hell in the Cell, any 4 guys of Vince's choosing against the movement's Punk, Kane, Brown and Snitsky. If they win, they get funding for whatever they choose, should they lose, they all disappear, never to be seen again, and we know how Vince loves ending careers.
We know how it ends. Punk's team wins in a blood, bloody match. And ECW is redefined with the ideology of extreme as defined by its wrestlers and not what Vince feeds us. It is treated not as Vince's vision of ECW, but a place where those who accept the revelation or those who yearn to be hardcore can go. It becomes a place for the gifted and different as opposed to the watered down WWE.
