After a few weeks, with ECW wrestlers striking, Vince accepts under the condition that it's one PPV and they stop striking afterwards. It would build it up pretty well, and they can use a feud that they have already going on as the main event. Maybe RVD and Eddie.

I think that is the worst way they could handle it. They should just sell it is an anniversary show. I don't think fueds are needed, just sell for the wrestling. Give it the right card and promote it properly and I think that it would be perfect.
They put classic ECW matches on Velocity, Heat and the other shows in the weeks leading up.
They should announce the card by just sending Heyman, or if he's not available someone like Taz, to the ring and talking about ECW, what it meant and just announcing the card like that.
The guys who are being brought in should get some exposure on the shows. Probably interviews and highlight packages would do the trick.
Honestly, the PPV is going to be mostly for the older fans who watched ECW or are more familiar with the workers. In that case you don't need to shove it down their throats, if you give them the matches that they want to see they will buy into it.
