How would YOU save ECW?

Question

Simple question, not-so simple answer? Anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

1. Bring back the TV title.
2. Sign RVD and Sabu to long-term deals.
3. Get Rhyno, Raven, and the Dudleys back from TNA.
4. Get rid of Striker.
5. Keep riding CM Punk and Kevin Thorn.
6. Bring back Paul E.
7. Don't ride the coattails of Raw and Smackdown stars-keep it real with ECW only.
8. Make it Extreme-period.
9. The old ECW didn't have Kelly Kelly and others dancing for 5 minutes. Bring back the catfights-am I the only one who wants to hear Styles scream "Catfight"?
10. Get Tajiri and Masato Tanaka from Japan.
11. Record a live TV show in the Hammerstein Ballroom at least once a month, if not, once ever other month.
12. Have Vince and his load of cash sign AJ Styles from TNA.
13. For entertainment and marketing purposes, the WWE tag titles should be lost to a ECW team and supported on Tuesday nights.
14. Remember that Balls Mahoney was an original too and give him some due TV time.
and finally....

15. Lashley must, and I mean must...drop the Title to...the most due, the most used, the one who has never received the credit due------> Tommy Dreamer!!!!!!

Answer 2

The only way I can see ECW being saved is for Vince McMahn to jwipe his hands clean of it and have nothing to do with the product and then give the reighns over to Paul Heymen. Let him run the show. Most of the wrestlers respect him and he knows what he's doing. Personally, I don't see this happening and I see ECW being cancelled before the end of the year.

Answer 3

Simple. Make ECW its own brand for REAL. WWE can still own it, but have all the wrestlers contracted to the ECW brand only show up on that show. They can not appear on any other WWE PPVs or shows. ECW needs to be its own identity.
Also, air it late night and give it a TV-MA rating. Up the violence, the nudity and language.
And most importantly, ECW wrestlers wrestle ECW-style NOT the WWE style of wrestling.

Answer 4

It isn't going to happen, but it breaks away from WWE and goes with TNA. ECW has become the Boston Celtics of pro wrestling because it is an afterthought in Vince's TV schedule. It is almost like a demotion if a wrestler gets sent there (unless he has a title belt).

Answer 5

ecw rocks but not so good since wwe took it over they need to have more extreme rules matches thats what make ecw so great and wwe just doesnt get that the fans want to see the extreme rules maches so i think that ecw should leave wwe and get paul haymen back so they we be the best again Also they should get a couplke more titles like a tag or somthing

Answer 6

Make it extreme. Anyone who has the ECW belt should know how to do extreme things, like Mick Foley style, you know? That's what the whole brand is about.. EXTREME stuff. If it's not like that, then you might as well just call it the minor World Heavyweight belt.

..And put Heyman back in charge. That guy knew what he was doing.

Answer 7

Make ANY match involving the ECW title an Extreme Rules match. I think that it's heresy that the ECW world champion has only competed in ONE extreme rules match since he won the title.

Answer 8

-I would set it up like the first time-Extreme Rules matches, technical wrestling, and Lucha Libre, all under one roof.

-I would bring back the OLD ppvs, like Heat Wave, November 2 Remember, and Anarchy Rulez.

-No doubt, I would have Paul Heyman as booker and GM.

Answer 9

make sure it reverts back to being EXTREME, like the old days, and get Paul E Dangerously Heyman to run his mouth again

Answer 10

All extreme rules, make more titles (tag team, tv, etc), and more originals.
