I was a very big WWECW fan. I remember for a while I got miffed when they'd do the draft and stuff and ECW would lose all of its big names and get reclamation projects...but then I eventually accepted that that was the entire point of the brand and I ended up digging it.
As much as I love the cruiserweights, half the crowd leaves before 205 Live and the few that stay don't make a peep. I think people would stick around to watch NXT after SmackDown. Just have a dozen or so dedicated NXT regularly featured on the show and replace them once they get "drafted" to Raw or SmackDown.
