QUESTION - Could ECW work as a "niche'd" show? (i.e. devoted to Cruiserweights, etc.)

Do you guys think that ECW would be better off trying to position themselves off as a "niche'd" show? In other words, instead of being branded as a "WWE light" or the "C show", ECW could be something entirely different.....and target a completely different demographic and audience.

Why not have ECW be a "niche'd" show, where you stack the show with....

-A Cruiserweight Division
-The Women's Division (non-eye candy....just women that can legitimately wrestle)
-Hosses (not the semi-talented ones such as Big Show and Kane, but guys like Great Khali, Mark Henry, etc.). These guys can also serve as bodyguards for the women and/or CW's.

One problem with ECW right now (and Smackdown for that matter), is that the show has no continuity. Whenever the show gets a semblance of momentum, a lot of the top talent gets sucked away to Smackdown or RAW (or in Smackdown's case, to RAW).

And let's face it: The chances of guys like Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston becoming a World Champion one day are extremely slim.

By making ECW a niche'd show, you achieve the following:

1) The show gets an identity

2) The show targets a certain demographic and certain audience (i.e. those that love watching the CW style of wrestling and women wrestling)

3) The show would target a new set of talent (i.e. more luchadore's from Mexico, that can have some sort of security in knowing that they won't be "held back" in the WWE since they'll be on a show with fellow CW's).

4) ECW can still be positioned as "PG" and as a "Global Brand."
