News on ECW's Future

[MTMT]

From NoDQ.com:

There are reports circulating that major changes could be coming for the ECW brand of WWE in 2010. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, the ‘ECW’ letters may soon be gone.

WWE and SyFy have had meetings in recent weeks regarding the future of the ECW brand. WWE would keep the timeslot but a major re-branding is apparently in the works. Stay tuned for more updates!

I am all for this.

ECW is a great brand in that it shows the future, and has some damn good wrestling- both of new and old.

But the fact that it's called "ECW" has been my issue from the start. Now, I never watched ECW back in the day... but I've seen enough clips and know enough about it that I don't blame Paul Heyman for hating the current product. It kind of shits on his legacy. There's nothing particularly "Extreme" about it.

So what should they call it?... Thoughts?

I am sure you are all fans of wrestling. I am too. I love WWE. I grew up in the late 80's, but barely remember them. I watched wrestling in the late 80's and 90's. Those were the days. I also loved the original ECW. It was raw. It was hardcore. It was extreme. WWE's version of ECW is boring. There have been some good wrestlers there, but using the name ECW is stupid. I also think the name Smackdown is stupid. Raw is a cool name. The others are stupid. Not sure what name they will go with, but I'm hoping if they change it, they give it a cool name.
