Possible Problems for WWE with ECW Replacement NXT
By Ric Stevens
PW News Now Staff Writer
February 3, 2010
WWE announced Tuesday night that they would be shutting down the ECW brand in three weeks in order to debut a revolutionary new show on Syfy.
The company trademarked “NXT” recently and promises that the show will be the “next evolution” of pro wrestling.
The problem for WWE is that NXT Wrestling already exists.
PWNN reader Steve Wilson sent in the following:
Here’s a “Did you know” fact for the WWE.
There is already a NXT wrestling company, which also stands for NXT Generation.
Their website can be viewed via http://www.nxtwrestling.com
According to their site they have been around since 2008. The indy fed is based in Rutherglen, Scotland. They have their own wrestling school, produce DVD’s and run shows on a fairly regular basis. The next show is scheduled to be this Saturday February 6th.
Apparently someone at the WWE didn't do their homework (or didn't care)
Scotland. Don't rule out a connection the proximity to Loch Ness. I have a feeling the pandas are going to get involved before this is all over. Vince better prepare for invasion, or at least planned colonization.
The Truth Is Out There
Wow I was expecting a more generic name like the ppvs. I hope they retire the ECW title.
P.S. Juan you fool they did change the name artard :foc:

'The problem for WWE is that NXT Wrestling already exists.'
Seriously, is that likely to be a problem? I think not. Especially if they were able to trademark.

What??

Couple of my mates wrestle there. Before it was NXT/SWA etc it was BCW, which was where Drew trained. Just a shame 90% of the guys there are absolute spastics!

Looks like the RAND Corporation and the reverse vampires are in cahoots again.

Not to mention that NXT or "next generation" makes absolutely no sense in some aspects. I mean...are Christian and Regal not current generation...or past (in Regal's case?) It is not like these guys are there to grow and then graduate up to RAW or Smackdown. They are just stuck there because creative has nothing better to do with them.

Maybe they'll move everyone off who's been around a while.
At this point Christian's a veteran. And that makes me feel old since I remember his debut. :-\

Maybe they should just call it "WWE Evolution." No? Cool.

I know some of you really want to hate this, but why can't we just let it debut before we start shitting on it?

Maybe Bryan Danielson will be on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as do I sir, LOL @ The Brood. Kind of funny how Gangrel was the leader of that group and now he is the only one that is not with the company. Also, the only one to never hold a heavyweight title.
Also funny how Edge lost the "Blade/Vampire Hunter" gimmick, but kept the trench coat...

I like when wrestlers incorporate stuff from their old gimmicks into their current gimmicks (like the trench coat). They're sort of paying homage to themselves.

Like HHH dropping the "blue blood" gimmick, but keeping the nose.
I'm telling you...the nose plays

Well, he does still call his finisher The Pedigree.
They never invite Triple H to coke parties.

Yea, Steph had to have an episiotomy so they could get the baby's nose out...
What??
The whole "ECW brand change" thing is only a rumor at this point, so to start speculating on this already is kind of pointless.
That was 3 months ago, you faggot.
Another successful outing from Guru Dave.

just change the N from Next to New like they used to call the mid 90's roster.
That was 3 months ago, you faggot.
I remembered. And the word is "Gay" buddy ;)

It's going to be really hard to keep track of the belt when they keep referring to the champion as the "Next Champion."
Time to retire that belt, anyway.

They could have always gone with Next-GenerationX
NX!

Well I dig the name, I think it's better than anything I thought of so I am down with it tell they change my mind otherwise. I just hope it changes a little bit from ECW, something different. I don't even mind a sc-fi influence if it isn't totally retarded.

As long as the product itself stays the same, as in the amazing matches and feuds that are going on, then I really don't care what they call the 'brand'.
it is a worst name then nwa
NXT Wrestling overseas posted the following on their website regarding WWE's new show using the NXT name:
"WWE was proactive in working with us to come to mutually agreeable terms on the release of the NXT trademark once it learned of the potential conflict. The timing was right for us as we were planning on renaming the NXT brand to SWA:Source to be closer aligned with the SWA parent brand."
