New Name for ECW?
 

<font color=goldenrod>There are reports circulating that major changes could be coming for the ECW brand of WWE in 2010. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, the ‘ECW’ letters may soon be gone.

WWE and SyFy have had meetings in recent weeks regarding the future of the ECW brand. WWE would keep the timeslot but a major re-branding is apparently in the works. Stay tuned for more updates!

Any ideas on a potential new name for the C-brand?</font>

WCW

<font color=goldenrod>Because somebody will inevitably say it: Velocity

Which, honestly, I'd love. Great name, bring along the green color scheme too.</font>

FCW

The new slogan is "We got the F back".

Tuesday Night Thunder. :shifty:

Thank god, finally.

WEC!

WEC is owned by Zuffa, won't happen.

How about "The Sports Entertainment Show we DON'T give a shit about."

or

"We are tea-bagging Heyman at this point, heh heh heh"

MLW: Minor League Wrestling.

Raw is something that is pure and unadulterated.
A Smackdown is a reference to one of the Rock's catch-phrases, it referred to "kicking someone's ass.".
"put the smack down on your roody poo candy ass."

I think they should bring back "Nitro".

Well, following your logic: (not saying you're wrong btw)

The perfect name for the show is already taken - Star Search. So that leaves us with Regal's Rejects.

Oh God. We're going to get "WWE HLR" now, aren't we?

FCW

Tuesday Night Titans

Well, since the WWE have hardly been creative with their ppv names, i think they're going to change ECW to...' the brand we always forget about'.

Actually, I'm thinking a show called "Thuglife" would follow it, if it weren't for the fact that Cena hasn't used the word "thug" in forever.

ECE: Extreme Championship Entertainment

:shifty:

So what happens to the ECW title?

Rhino threw it in the trash.

'Tuesday Night TNA x .5'

As long as it continues to be the best hour of wrestling in WWE, then I don't care what they call it.

Maybe they should call it TPWW :D

WWE: This Tuesday in _____(insert town name)____

Tuesday Night Toilet TNT

I just had a thought that they should just run from the Manhattan Center weekly.

:drool:

Won't happen, but it would make it original and the crowd would always be hot.

Welcome to WWE H.L.A. Hot Lesbian Action

honestly even that was a better attempt

lol

The Christian Cage Variety Hour

Monday Night Raw

'The Abe Washington Show - Now with LOWER Ratings!'

- Tuesday Night Heat
- Extra Championship Wrestlers :lol:
- Tuesday Night Power Hour

"Welcome to WWE Ohhh Yeeeaaahhh Almost Forgot About That One. Named after Vince's response in a board meeting regarding ECW."

Turn it into the European Title.

Or the McDonald's title.

The Peep Show

Just throwing it out there
 

maybe Heat or FCW. It all depends on roster space and how much they can fit into that hour

It's The Rookie & Demoted Show!

Because ECW is so terrible...

Oh wait, it's not.

Definitely the best WWE show every week :y:

I would actually call it 'Velocity' (with green color scheme) IF the WWE went ahead with my original idea and turned the entire show into a haven for

-Cruiserweights
-A women's division consisting of women that wrestler
-Oversized hosses with no wrestling talent (i.e. Khali, Henry).

It would be a 'niche'd' show that would target entirely different demographics from the main shows (RAW and SD).

Wormhole X-Treme

Shotgun

Taboo Tuesday

UCANTCIT

I'm all for Velocity, honestly. It's just that it carries a lower-stature connotation than ECW already does. I mean, in its decline, Velocity was an online-only show.

Truthfully, I would definitely get behind Velocity and its green color scheme. We'd have the primary colors (red, blue, green), which isn't a bad thing at all.

The Flagship............ none of the bullshit crap from raw or smackdown

You're starting to sound like a broken record.

Tuesday Night Cooked

Get it? "Raw" and then "Cooked"? :rofl:
















:shifty:

i loved shotgun sat night with jim cornett hosting it too bad they can't do that on tue

I'm sorry to be "this guy" but green isn't a primary colour. You get it by mixing blue and yellow.

But still, velocity would be ok

It's going to be called OMEGA. That's why Matt Hardy hasn't done much lately and why Jeff pretended to get arrested.

When you're talking about the light spectrum, red, green, and blue are the primary colors. When you're talking about the mixing of pigmentation, it's red, yellow, and blue.

"Yo ECW I'm really happy for you, though I'm not going to let you finish, but WCW had the best jobber show name of ALL TIME! World Wide!"

"YEIRHFYTINGTLYFBWHTBJSNOATWW!" for short.

I knew there was the number 9 in there

just couldn't remember where

I will not rest until someone acknowledges that this is hilarious dammit. :mad:

Yeah, sorry, I'm a graphic/web designer and think in terms of red/green/blue (RGB). Should've been clearer. :)

Still not resting!

Xtian's Rock n' Wrestling

<font color=goldenrod>So an idea being kicked around is to OFFICIALLY make it WWE's minor league. Dunno if it'd replace FCW or what, but the idea would be only non-established guys would be there, even moreso than now (No Christians, Regals, Sheltons, etc....literally a show of solely guys who haven't yet been on Raw or SD)

Could be interesting. Lots of cuts though as people get "promoted". Maybe the annual draft could be just like a real sports event.....where you actually DRAFT the young guys to your brand. I dunno.</font>

I don't know about having ALL minor-league wrestlers on the show. I could just see the ratings plummet as a result

ECW "ShutDown?"
 

According to a reliable source, World Wrestling Entertainment plans to put the ECW brand to rest once and for all in the near future as I noted earlier here on the website. WWE officials have had several meetings with the Syfy network about re-branding WWE’s Tuesday night show.

Both sides are in agreement that WWE’s version of ECW has been a bust and plans are already being made for a new weekly series. While several ideas have been tossed around (including a magazine-style recap show), right now it appears that WWE wants to make the new Tuesday night brand a “WWE minor league” and feature young up-and-coming stars.

WWE relaunched the ECW brand back in 2006 after the undeniable success of the “Rise and Fall of ECW” DVD set and later the ECW One Night Stand Pay-Per-View events. After ECW was relaunched as a brand, it quickly became apparent that WWE had no intention of keeping the elements that made the original ECW special and turned ECW into a watered-down, generic “C” show.

Tuesday Night Talent
Motto: This isn't Raw

I was just thinking about this.

It makes good marketing sense to change the name from ECW to whatever they are thinking of. The new product is by no means what ECW represented, extreme matches with the most hardcore wrestlers you could see anywhere. By changing the name, they can sell old ECW DVD's, merch, etc... and not dilute the brand any longer.

They have been hyping the current ECW as a place for new and rising superstars, a place where HHH or Undertaker would not even think about stepping into. It fits the WWE style more than the old ECW style, but it's fresh and unique every week because the young guys are hungry to get to the top. They could go with that kind of branding statement (they won't).

totally beat ya

No one though it was funny, you stupid fuck.

Go fuck yourself "esse".

I really don't have a problem with ECW, and I can't really think of anything better to call it.

Only if Abe Washington's new gimmick is as a Kanye impersonator. Plus has he even wrestled yet?

Yes! Bring back the old TNT talk show with the Superstars as guests! :y:

There are also some reports saying the Tuesday night show might just be a recap show.

I wonder if they made it a true minor league if the ratings would stay as they are now, or if they need the top star like Christian to bring it in. I am not sure to be honest. I would say if they made it special and kick ass they could get away with no stars, and bring those guys to Raw and Smackdown.

Thanks Terran. Sorry Juan, I was kind of drunk.

What no Fried or Baked? :roll:

We had this idea with the ECW Arena/Hammerstein Ballroom...

:(

Bring back Shotgun and call it Saturday Stir Fry. :D Kung Fu Naki and Jimmy Wang Yang could co-host.

From the sounds of it, they are looking to revamp it in such a way that it is basically FCW. To do this, I imagine they would get any good or ready for Raw/SD talent traded off (Christian, Regal, Ryder, Shelton, Hurricane, Goldust, Kozlov, Zeke) and keep everyone else there. They'd probably bring more guys up from FCW as well. The title would remain on the show and there would be no danger of ever seeing it on a PPV again, which is good. More space for the US/IC/Tag.

Fixed.

:( 2nd is the best

<font color=goldenrod>I actually can see the ECW brand being written off in the next draft (or perhaps a mini draft BEFORE the legit draft, I dunno). Raw and SD take turns selecting everybody off the show...then ECW dies and is rebranded as something else where the FCW guys hone their skills.

The Raw and SD rosters will become hella overcrowded as a result...but it would give them an excuse to cut some guys like Tyler Reks.

From there, maybe every year...or bi-yearly...or something...Raw and SD are allowed to "draft" a couple of superstars from FCW deemed to be ready. I dunno.</font>

The truth is you can't have Christain, William Regal, Goldust and Shelton Benjamin on a WWE "farm team" they would have to be traded to Smackdown! or Raw, which I think would be a great idea (Christian and Regal to Smackdown, Goldust and Shelton to Raw).

With that in mind, Syfy wants the 2.0 rating that ECW got when it first started airing, now it's a 1.0. If WWE takes off the ECW "stars" will they at least even keep the 1.0 much less rise above it? The Farm League would have to kick some serious old school ECW type of ass to get that big. And I know FCW does not contain an old school ECW or ROH or WCW or anything feel. It is WWE's farm team and it shows. I don't know how they will succesfully pull that off.

I would call it WWE Underground... I would get a small arena deal like TNA does with Orlando Studios and tape once or twice a month with a small audience and smaller production. They would save money and going to a Smackdown! taping won't take four hours.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah. Then I'd say bring back the WWE web shows in some capacity. Maybe not in full force, but say 2 matches per brand, post it on WWE.com once a week, gives guys left off that week's main shows a chance to be seen.

So before you go to a live Raw/SD show, before the main show starts you'll get the two "web matches" and a Superstars match (and maybe a local guy in a dark match as well)...so no matter which show to go to you are getting 3 hours.</font> :y:
