Huge News On The Possible Return Of ECW
Talk continues that Vince McMahon may give the green light to revive the ECW brand name following WrestleMania XX.
The idea right now is to have Paul Heyman get fired from Smackdown and start ECW as a rebel brand. The thinking is that most of the ex-ECW wrestlers will work on the new ECW brand.
WWE would promote ECW as a "rebel" brand and not one of their official brands.
Shane McMahon may also get involved in this story if it happens, using his power to help Heyman start the rebel ECW group. WWE would keep the budget low for the ECW brand and would eventually expect to run one PPV per quarter for it.
The brand would likely get a one hour weekly TV show, probably on Saturday night replacing Confidential or Velocity.
