When was ECW/WCW bought out?

**Xero** · 09-03-2004, 02:36 PM

I've heard that someone from ECW (I think Joey Styles) still owns, or owned after they debuted in WWE, the ECW library... Obviously, WWE would have to own the library now with all the ECW stuff on the DVDs... Although I could be getting mixed up w/ styles not giving up the rights to resell stuff with his voice...

When was ECW officially bought out by WWE, and what was ECW's last show?

Also, when was WCW OFFCIALLY bought out? How long before the infoumous last Nitro/RAW simulcast? Because there were rumors a few days before saying that they werent bought out, that WWE had bought them out, that someone else bought them out, etc... And, when did WCW announce, on air, that they would be going under? Because I'm wondering if they had advertised the last Nitro as being the last, or it was just announced THAT DAY that they were bought out...
