As in the brand was emptied pretty badly after the 15 superstar trade. I apologize if there is already a thread about this.
Let's look at who ECW lost first:
The Heart Dynasty: Two up and comin guys that are a great tag team. And Natalya of course. She will get to compete in the divas division on smackdown and Smith and Kidd might have a better chance at tag team gold as well. But it's two heels that were on ECW every week. They would get more time and develop better I think if they stayed on ECW at least till the next draft.
Mark Henry: I think this guy had another ECW title reign still in him. I think he could have worked well as a face too there if given a chance. One of ECW's bigger names and its a blow to the brand to have him leave.
Finlay: He wasn't ever going to win the ECW title, but he was great for the brand putting over young guys like the Heart Dynasty and it looked like Zack Ryder too. What will he really accomplish on smackdown? They have better guys that do that job already on smackdown, they don't need him.
Evan Bourne: This was a stupid move. If he goes, it should have been to smackdown. But this guy should have stayed on ECW, Untill the real draft. This guy is what the new ECW is all about. He could have been ECW champion. On raw he will get lost in the clusterfuck that is their midcard.
Jack Swagger: This was the bigget blow to ECW. He was the top heel on ECW. He should have won the title from Dreamer at The Bash. Him and Evan Bourne could have fueded over the title when his thing with Christian and Dreamer got old. On ECW he got mic time every week and was developing immensly. On Raw, he will be a midcarder, and on Raw that means you job to the main eventers all the time.
ECW lost alot of good talent, now lets look at who they gained:
Shelton Benjamin: Probobly the best aquisition. Most likely to replace Swagger. There is potential here, but he has sucked really bad lately.
The Bella Twins: I like them, but....why are they here?? There are no other divas on ECW except Katie Lea who hasnt been seen for a long time anyways. Waste of space on ECW.
William Regal: I pray to God that he tags with Paul Burchill because that is all that he is good for on ECW. He will not be ECW champ and he will most likely just job to people. He will do Finlay's job, but worse.
Goldust: This could be good. WWE could actually push Goldust, I would mark out if they did. Most likely he will flop though and just job to Koslov or something though.
I used the term empty because right now, talent lost>then talent gained. Who's left? Christian, Dreamer and Hurricane are all great. But those who complimented them are now gone. What made ECW great the last few months is ruined. What does everybody else think about this?
