Getting Rid of ECW

**Evil Vito** · 02-01-2010, 01:46 PM

I mean, in a perfect world I would keep ECW and have it booked as a viable brand...but realistically that's not going to happen. Christian is all but a lock to be drafted away next year, as well as several other "stars" like Goldust and Yoshi Tatsu. I know they have that "New Superstar Initiative" thing to fall back on, but again if the whole point of the brand is to build guys for the other two shows, I'd rather them not even attempt to call it an equal brand. With these "trades" that have happened in the past I've been left to assume that from a kayfabe perspective Tiffany is either a really dumb blonde or she got to sleep with the Raw/SD superstar of her choice to sign off on such a lopsided move.

Definitely think ECW and Superstars could serve in the same role that heat and Velocity did - shows to keep guys fresh, let people try new things, showcase guys that didn't work on the main show that week, etc.
