ECW being brought back full time?
WWE has made the decision to bring back Extreme Championship Wrestling as a full time entity and has begun talking with former ECW talent about returning to work for the new version of the legendary promotion. As of right now, WWE is targeting a September return for the promotion. No decision has been made as to exactly how the company will be brought back yet. It's possible that it will take over the present OVW territory, that it will be a promotion that gets matches on the Raw and/or Smackdown promotions or possibly in some other manner. Sources have told us that Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer will be booking ECW when it starts up.



WWE has already contacted a number of ECW wrestlers and contracts will be sent out to them this week. The talents are being offered three year deals which consist of a series of one year contracts, with rollover clauses. A number of wrestlers have been contacts so far. We can confirm that WWE has talked with The Sandman, Francine and Balls Mahoney and will be sending contracts out to them this week.
We will have more information on this story later today or tomorrow.

Woah, pretty weird. They're not even sure how it will happen yet though so it's all up in the air but if they get enough talent, it will just be awesome.

Team 3D, Raven, Rhino, Sabu, Lynn...history has shown Raven and Lynn won't work with WWE again in any way shape or form, and let's be honest Sabu is a come and go guy in TNA, Rhino is over but in no way a major player, the only real lose would be Team 3D...which as "tragic" as losing those 3 guys could be, TNA would move on eith ease without them.

No they would not be screwed. Say what you will about TNA, but has done a great job of creating a lot of their own stars.

I don't believe it.

I don't think they are going back to Vince, but seeing as how I had no proof if that they would or wouldn't work with McMahon Inc. I didn't want to make assuming statements.

If they do do it, my guess would be that they'll replace the SmackDown! brand with it.

They can use it to get wrestlers over, especially if Heyman were booking. Not everyone from ECW has to be in the new ECW.

I hope this is a joke. ECW is done for. This re-make will only be seen as Vinny Mac's version of ECW. The original ECW had a glorious run, and the time was right for it..not anymore, the landscape of wrestling is different and new in today's time.

I wonder if this is just a reason to keep Heyman signed with WWE and to keep other talent from TNA or have people like Sabu defect???

If this is true, they should use this as a springboard for talent coming from OVW, but aren't ready for a full time run on RAW/Smackdown!

If this does happen, I wonder if RVD would still be part of the Raw brand or of the ECW brand, he's meant to be getting a WWE title push soon, and i want him to be a success on Raw.I can't imagine this happening for that reason alone.As others have said, ECW has had its time.

Weird doublethink material.
If this turns out to be true, people will SO gloat about it to you.

I don't believe it or disbelieve it. I'm just open to hear what happens next. I never watched ECW and was mildly entertained by One Night Stand.

It won't work.

The reason ECW was the way it was is because of the fans. Those north-eastern fans are insane, and they were obsessed with the wrestlers, and they were hardcore when the word hadn't become pop culture yet.

An ECW under WWE is going to alienate all the old ECW fans. Sure it might be an "ECW" show, and it might have some of the wrestlers from the old ECW, but will it be the same thing? No way.

It's like throwing a party at your house while the parents are gone. Paul Heyman and all the Extreme Championship Wrestling fans were throwing a huge party while Vince McMahon and Ted Turner were out of town. They were having a blast and McMahon and Turner frowned upon them.

This is the equivalent of the parents allowing you to throw the party as long as it's kept under their watchful eye. It's just not the same thing.

ECW is dead. Let it RIP.

There's one way this will be good, one way this will work, and one way that they MIGHT be able to get the people to sign who "refuse" to work for WWE. ANd that's if, and only if, this line is true, and stays true.

" Sources have told us that Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer will be booking ECW when it starts up. "

Another thing. Ignoring how "ECW" like it really is compared to old, we have to remember something else.

It's another "brand" IE, a chance for guys who wouldn't get over normally to get over. Even if the product is only slightly better than WWE, if guys like RVD, CM Punk ( I could see him going there), Nunzio, Dreamer, etc, can shine there, and do more than WWE would ever allow them to do, is it really a bad thign?

Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer booking it is the only positive thing in this news.

Also, look at the key word in that sentence which was 'when' not 'if'...

The way it sounds to me is that the WWE are trying to create a small scale brand to get guys over and are using the ECW name to market it. Basically they are renaming OVW ECW and then trying to bring in some old ECW guys to make it more marketable while keeping the OVW roster as the centerpiece.

Another thought, they've always been talking about a wrestling channel in North America. I don't know the status of that plan but maybe this is a move to get more programing on there.

Paul Heyman booking and running the show so far is a plus. His bringing up of new talent is a plus. But if this is also designed to dip into the TNA locker room to bring back wrestlers, who would you get? The One already stated that Jerry Lynn and Raven won't come back. Team 3D would be 50/50 since Paul Heyman sorta burned bridges on the tradmark situation. There's also the timeslot. I heard that Vince wants to bump RAW AM to a night slot and put ECW there. But like the millions of people who post here, "I'll believe it when I see it."

Paul Heyman didn't burn any bridges in regards to trademarking.

Paul Heyman, when THe Dudleys left ECW, gave them/allowed them the use of the name. They never copyrighted it. THey went to WWE, and Vince then copyrighted it. Paul gave it to them, they fucked up.
