I dont think it would work
Ive said this a million times, btu I dont think the ECW fanbase that existed would support an ECW product that was owned buy the WWE. The illusion that ECW was fighting against these two corporate giants is what really gave it its appeal. Under the WWE umbrella that appeal would be gone.
In terms of logistics, they would have to add another day of tapings, which is an extra cost that they dont need at this point.
Also, in terms of workers, a lot fo the guys who would make up the ECW roster could be used to fill out the depleted RAW and SD rosters. I dont think they have enough stars to fill up three different rosters.
Then there is the deal about PPVs, which I dont think would work. At its peak, ECW only drew a 1.0 rating on cable, and I dont think thats a large enough audience to sufficiently sell PPVs.
A better idea might be to take all the ECW guys, put them on one show, and make them a rogue faction that fueds with the other guys on the show. I know thats kinda NWO-ish, but I think a group led by Heyman could do soem good business.
