Is ECW part of WWE ?

for years Vince McMahon has been generously financing the ECW because of its line up of talents and their potential donation to the WWE roster. eventually, ECW became a WWE brand alongside RAW and SmackDown.

WWE brought ECW back because TNA was getting higher ratings every week but WWE isn't allowed to show violent matches and because ECW is under WWE contract none of the ECW matches are proper Hardcore like they used to be so WWE buying ECW was a waste of money.

Yes.

Here's the info that I found:
Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) was a professional wrestling promotion that was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1992 by Tod Gordon, and closed when his successor, Paul Heyman, declared bankruptcy in April 2001.

The company became known for its loyal fan base as well as its tendency to push the envelope with storylines. The group has showcased many different styles of professional wrestling, ranging from lucha libre to hardcore wrestling.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) bought the rights to ECW and its library after its 2001 closure and revived the promotion in a full-time fashion on June 13, 2006 with a weekly television series on Sci Fi Channel in the United States, FOX8 in Australia and Sky Sports 3 in the United Kingdom. Since 2005, WWE has promoted an annual ECW-brand event called ECW One Night Stand and in June 2006, it became a separate brand of WWE programming, along with RAW and Smackdown!.

I hope this helps!

It was bought out by Vince McMahon earlier this year and it is another brand of WWE like Raw and Smackdown...

...a waste of time and money if you ask me!
