Your take on my logic is fuzzy. Hell, while we're at it, I guess that means that Sean Waltman is still Global Championship Wrestling, right? and Larry Z (a guy I can't personally stand) is still AWA. :foc:
You misread the part where I said that... He's a WWE Guy with an ECW shirt slapped on him. That's no different from slapping an Alliance T-Shirt on Steve Austin or Kurt Angle from 6 years ago. Just because someone SAYS they are "not a WWF/E guy" doesn't suddenly MAKE them not a WWF/E guy.
ECW, to many fans, is more than three letters slapped together and chairs and tables. It's a mindset, it's a standard of quality. What's going to be shown in less than an hour will be a good television program, but it would do better if it wasn't called ECW. That brings forth certain expectations that it could never, and boy do I mean Never, live up to.
Vince owns the right to the letters to be used in that combination. He has the contracts of some of their former stars, but what we will be watching is NOT, by any means, ECW. He has no grasp on the atmosphere. His vision is what the crowds will have a problem with, and he'll solve that issue by giving us MORE of his vision.

Your examples with Sean and Larry don't quite work. If ANYTHING, you'd be saying that Larry isn't a TNA guy right now, and that he's actually an "AWA guy but with the letters TNA slapped across his microphone."
(and I hate that, because I'm of the opinion that Big Show isn't true ECW as well)
