I don't understand... (ECW SPOILERS)

Plus, he will probably get a 10 minute match every week. Did you see Punk/Regal on Raw? If you did, I rest my case.

Of course hell get more mic time. There's like ten people. It still goes back to "who cares?" Christian on ECW won't boost the rating. Christian speaking a lot on a show with less than a sixth of the market of one of the other WWE shows doesn't equate to anything effective, unless his only problem is he can't speak and needs time to practice before the big leagues.

A feud with Jeff would likely have elevated him better than that.

Any lack of mobility in WWE is internal, not because of placement on the show. Christian himself, for example, was mad over before he quit, but Vince saw him as a midcarder. Oops. Matt Hardy? Could have been easily retooled on Raw or Smackdown. Even now, he's jealous of his brother, who has real gold. Do they even talk about Kane's run? I haven't noticed, but....

Vince was going to push CM Punk no matter where he was, especially based on circumstances. Cena got over on his own, even with the big names he was competing aginst for TV time. Miz and Morrison are both cases of "would be pushed regardless," as well.

More importantly, the people it "brought us" are yet to be proven, save for Punk. The list of people ECW has "fed" other shows looks like, whether you like the guys or not, a veritable who's who of "future endeavors." And I like Kofi, and I hope he doesn't get fired, but I'm pretty sure he's either going to be a midcarder or FEd in the next year or so. Knox will probably be around for a while, but in the generic hoss role he could have managed on Raw or Smackdown to begin with, and...Well, with Bourne, my feelings are about the same as Coffee.
