I think if they let Paul Heyman do it, fine. If Heyman could prove that using little money, a bit of talent and a just his creative ability, that he can produce a PPV that draws better that Summerslam, he wold get back in the WWE's good books, IMO.
I have nothing against the PPV being a WWE ring, with a WWE intro at the start (just the little intro with all the shows flashing up on it), but I'd hope they'd let the guys do whatever they want. If they all put their heads together and worked their asses off, we could even see a successful brand in the future. Have them call it by a classic ECW name. I'm not sure if they had annual PPVs or not (since I never really followed it), but just give it a name so that it would be more likely to appear in ECW's history than ECW's.
Image the card, though:
Fatal Fourway
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Guerrero vs. Dean Malenko (bring him out of retirement for one night, maybe Lance Storm as well, but I don't know how a five-way would work)
Triple Threat Tag Team Match
Rey Mysterio & Rob Van Dam vs. Rhyno & Tajiri vs. The Dudleys
Submission Match
Tazz vs. Al Snow
Cruiserweight-Style Match
Nunzio vs. Simon Dean (maybe call him Nova just for a night)
Singles Match
Spike Dudley vs. Chilly Willy (I haven't seen Chilly Willy wrestle, so I don't know his style that well)
Singles Match
Dawn Marie vs. Lita
Singles Match
Mick Foley vs. Steven Richards (they don't have much history together, but I think Foley would be willing to give it a go, and a high-profile match like this would do Richards the world of good).
Maybe have Mick Foley, Lance Storm, Dean Malenko and/or Tommy Dreamer serve as referee(s) for the night. Have Paul Heyman and Al Snow or Tommy Dreamer on commentary.
Or basically just let Heyman run it all. They probably won't but it would be nice if they did.
