WCW/WWE/ECW

I tried this with a different title, but did not get to many responses.

There is another thread about the idea of a WCW One Night Stand. That reminded me of a idea me and some of the boys discussed a while back.

With the three shows WWE is running now. Why not drop the whole Smackdown/Raw thing? Why not make it WCW Smackdown or Thunder , WWE Raw, and ECW well ECW.

Now each of the different "real" brands shows can have a different rating.

=====================================

WCW could be PG.

WWE could be R.

ECW could be NC17.

=====================================

Or something like that.

Also they could run the shows in different venues to cut costs.

And the production value could be different between brands both to cut costs, and to give the appearance (Kayfabe) that they are three different company's.

WCW could have a well for lack of better explanation WCW style production.

WWE would use the High end HD production.

ECW could be done in a more gritty, almost public access style, much like EC dub was.

I think the three "brands" would go a long way in establishing a real difference between the shows. And it would make roster swaps seem more meaningful. The way it is right now I really don't care if someone goes from Smackdown to Raw or ECW and what not, because it's all under the WWE banner. It's like switching shifts at the same job.

What do you think?
