Breaking News- ECW being resurrected for PPV?
Although little is known as of yet, it appears that WWE is set to revive ECW from the dead to put on a pay per view show. The ECW PPV is going to take place on 6/5/05 in New York City at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The ballroom was the site of ECW's final two PPV events.

Many are pushing for Tommy Dreamer and Paul Heyman to be at the wheel of this operation, as this could be a make or break experience for old and new fans of Extreme Championship Wrestling.

I for one have mixed feelings about this. While ECW is a forgotten but still remembered tribe of wrestling and has a lot of fans, if the WWE are thinking of bringing it back on a part-time or even a full-time basis, I can't help thinking it would be watered down and will not have the ECW feel (even with it being in an arena where previous ECW events have taken place). What are your views?

The chosen one

I'll cream myself if this happens. HOWEVER, for this to work Paul E. and Dreamer have to run it. It has to have no restrictions, they have to be able to wrestler the ECW style, and they're going to need to sign guys like Raven, Corino, Saturn, Kronus, Tanaka, ect to one night contracts.

If ECW does come back I hope that it's all that it can be, however I have feeling that it will be a weak copy of itself.

It was the wrestlers that made ECW, not the name.




I haven't seen ECW before, but it is obvious that just because you name something the same doesn't make it the same.
