Sure let's bring in another once famous company as a "show" and piss all over it once again and then maybe we could bring back the AWA aswell or maybe even let Bischoff be in charge of WCW and have the nWo and the Wolfpac come back aswell as the Four Horsemen and push Lex Luger towards the World Heavyweight Championship? That'd be freaking super.

While the new ECW isn't a duplicate of the original, at least it has some things to offer to differentiate it from WWE. What would WCW offer other than the name? Even if they throw in Booker T, Benoit etc. those guys are equally known for WWE at this point so it's not exactly a treat to see them in "WCW" like it is for someone like RVD who has been very identified with ECW even when in WWE for years.
No bad idead, Very bad idea.
You see the thing is Ecw was brought back because it was different from anything else going on today in wrestling and in someways to compete with Tna, WCW on the other hand was very much a clone of WWE they both basically had the same formula for success and same blueprints for failure.
Wcw will never be brought back as a main brand for professional wrestling because it really has nothing different to offer and it would be exactly the same as watching WWE Raw or Smackdown, The main stars from wcw would probably never work for a Vince led WCW anyway because they have had there difference or are tooo old - Nash, Hall, Steiner, Goldberg, Sting, Benoit, Malenko, Jarrett and so on. All these men are arguably all well past there primes when it comes to wrestling so it would be a bland horrific show.
At least with ECW being a brand again it is offering something that is atleast a little different, but i dont think it will be around very long with WWE making some disasterous decisions like bringing in an army of wwe wrestlers and firing most of the ecw alumni.
IMO wrestling would be better if it was just raw and smackdown with no brand seperation. 2 Shows same stars.

I do think that if they renamed WWE Raw, ECW, and WCW Smackdown into brands, they would be able to diversify the three brands. WWE being mainly wrestling and entertainment, ECW being hardcore and unpredictable, and WCW being a high flying, high energy brand.
Not only that, but they should stop mixing up the brands so damn much.
This wrestler going here, that wrestler going there!
They need to build these guys on their specific brands for years, so they can get a loyal fanbase and a little respect before just getting handed the championship. I won't say any names but..... cough.. cough...lashley... cough.

You couldnt have WCW without Stinger,and he will never go to WWE.
Oh yeah lets bring back the great storylines of the WCW, we can have Goldberg be arrested for being a stalker, David Arquette as World Champion, and Vince Russo & Eric Bischoff being the top heels. And hey we can have those awesome matches like the Hogan vs. Nash match where Kevin fell down for the three from a poke. Yeah, let's definately bring back those creative geniuses!

ECW does make more sense to have around than WCW, but only slightly given the way ECW has panned out.
The main reason ECW being around doesn't make much more sense than WCW being brought back can be summed up in four words: "no more extreme rules". When ECW came back originally I figured every match was gonna be extreme rules, and if memory serves me it was that way for maybe the first couple of episodes. But then WWE remembered how convenient it was to be able to end matches in a DQ and utilized that formula for ECW. Now there's really nothing seperating it from Raw and Smackdown except for that fact that it's a one-hour show and has one title. The whole "extreme" concept was supposed to set ECW apart and did during its original run, but now it's nothing but a gimmick.
What a shame.

i was always under the impression the failed experiment that was the ecw/wcw alliance's bullshit finally settled what happened? Smackdown ended up with the wcw titles that wwe chose to keep and use (heavyweight,cruserweight, U.S.) along with most of the wrestlers one would associate with wcw: Booker T,Chris Benoit,Chavo Guerror,Finlay,Regal..etc..
There is nothing that would set wcw apart as a brand. wcw was (almost) exactly the same as wwe back in the day as opposed to what ecw was.Bringing the wcw name back isnt gonna do anything.Ecw should have been brought back as an alternative to smackdown and raw but i dont really think it is since there isn't anything alternating it from smackdown or raw imho.

I originally wanted Vince to bring back WCW after the buyout, but in hindsight, I'm glad he didn't. After seeing what he did to ECW, it's best to let sleeping dogs lie.

I'm just hoping that ECW dies off, and it just goes back to SmackDown! and Raw, because that's enough WWE for anybody. Take the talented stars from ECW and split them between Raw and SmackDown!, and cut the rest of them.
By the way, WCW would be tarnished if it was brought back under WWE, because WCW WAS the competition for WWE.

WCW had as many high points as any company, but given Vince's track record trying to use other people's talent, he usually always tries to "fix" what isn't broken. ECW is a prime example. If they would've given a show that had even a fraction of the attitude and in-ring proficiency that the old ECW had in terms of action and cutting edge storylines, then ECW's ratings wouldn't have been sawed nearly in half in less than a year. WCW is dead to me. The last thing I'd want is for McMahon to revive it so he can kill it worse. Watching him do that with ECW has been hard enough.

Theres nothing extreme about wwECW. its just another watered down wwe tv show now. The only thing extreme about wwECW is how extreme the ratings dropped since its reinception.
What so we can have vintage WCW match's like Khali vs. Masters? No way. There was a demand for an ECW PPV special. I dont think the demand for a WCW show or PPV is there. I'd buy a one off PPV. But if WWE were to bring it back it would'nt have just former WCW wrestler's like Helms, Booker, Moore, Flair etc. Just keep the ECW name. It's ruined anyway.

Then too ECW is supposed to stand for Extreme Championship Wrestling; they hardly ever get extreme; well maybe for one or two matches out of the month but other than that nothing. TNA is more extreme than any WWE brand hands down.

Hey Yo!
At times I wish WCW had run WWF out of business. If in 1997 I knew what the fate of WCW would be in 2001 I would probably have just watched WCW only. A lot of people think WCW was shit. But when WCW was at the top of the world everyone watched it. If Bischoff would have been able to buy WCW in 2001 then Vince would have been forced to keep providing us with great shows every week, but now he can feed us shit and in his mind we have to like it. TNA is no real competition for him so he can do what he wants, even if it alienates some fans (a lot of fans.) Wrestling nowadays is very hard to watch. There is no excitement anymore, even with TNA. TNA reminds me of WCW 99-00: weird booking and even weirder storylines. But WCW is dead so let it rest. ECW is dead too, so again, let it rest.

Somebody obviously started watching WCW towards the end of it's run. At it's peak,WCW Monday Nitro was 10 times the show Raw was. Hell Monday Nitro in it's dying days was a better show than Raw is now.

I wish somebody else would have bought the WCW. Like I said in my above post,at it's peak Monday Nitro was it. And hell in it's dying days it was still one of the top shows on cable television.

No don't bring back the wcw becouse most of the guys who were in the tna are now in the tna and there rest are in the wwe!!!!
Are you kidding, the WWE should put the WWECW out of its misery, let alone bring back WCW. We got burned on ECW, plain and simple. I loved the idea of bringing back ECW and ONS as much as the next guy, and even Vinces original idea of bringing it back and touring in smaller venues. Very good concept, but they tried to make it WWE. They toured the small venues taht are rabid ECW loyalist, and they shoved C Rate WWE guys along with an aging ECW original roster. It was good in concept, now it simply is ECW in name only.
WCW will never come back. Simply put, Vince wnated it for its Video Library, other then that, it doesn't exist. Vince already has two brands that tour the country in the same venues WCW did. There isn't this loyal fan base out there wanting to see, like jake said, "OH MY GOD, Khali and Masters just jumped to Shane McMahons WCW." It won't work. WCW is gone, get WWE 24/7 watch some old Nitro's and be happy.
My personel opinion. If Vince does go with 5 brands. I'd keep Raw and Smackdown in North America. I'd Send ECW brand to the Asian market, I would contemplate bringing back WCW for the European market, and then have a brand for latin america. Honestly i think that story is full of crap, but you never know.

I agree ECW should be rebranded as WCW. I was actually about to start a thread about it until i saw this one. One benefit of the name change would be that people don't expect hard core wrestling, and perhaps people will be more likely to give it a chance because they expect regular wrestling out of it which is all that ECW has been doing. I also thing WCW has a greater name value than ECW. As popular as ECW was for those who watched it, its audience was very small compared to that of WCW and WWE, and therefore WCW would pull in more people who are chanel surfing because the name will register with more people than ECW does.
