I heard the rumors about ECW returning, and I truly hope that it comes true...
Does anyone here believe the same? Or is not, I'd love to hear some feedback...

Hi there! and Welcome.
To be honest this topic has been done to death. I'm of the opinoin that what Vince did was the better way to go, as he didn't want to buy out all the bigger guys contracts, if he had kept WCW going it would have been a skeleton roster and wouldn't have gooten the ratings (although low, the majority of fans tuned in to see the Stings and the Goldbergs, not the Sean o'Haires and Sugar Shane Helms) So in the situation that Vince was in he did what he thought was the best way to go. In theory the invasion angle should have been HUGE! but because of the restricted talent he had to work with it was ultimatly a disaster.
Plus imagine that WCW was kept as a seperate brand? i doubt Vince would have used a Raw or Smackdown time slot as they were garetneed ratings and we fine the way they were, a new spot would ahve needed to be created and TNN at the time were not interested in another wrestling show on there network. Which is pretty dam stupid considering the fact that RAW is the biggest ratings puller for TNN.
As for ECW, yes i've heard the rumours about it coming back, i've also been eharing these rumours for about 2 years now. I'll be the first to admit that i would want it back, but i doubt, scrath that i'm sure it wont be the same ECW. I can't see Vince bringing in any more talent so they would be working with the ECW style wrestlers that they currently have on the rosters (RVD, Lance Storm and the Dudleys) Plus with the crack down on moves right now ECW would be plain boring without it's rough around the edges fast pased high impact hardcore wrestling i came to know an love.
I've heard rimours that it's going to get the confidentail spot if it were to get a deal, which means the ratings aint gonna be very high either. So yeah i would want ECW but not this way as it's just another WWE show with an ecw name
