It's true, guys. Dave Meltzer has just reported that the WWE has just bought ECW. Brand name, logo, video library, etc.

 

 

 

Everything!

 

 

 

So, what does this really mean?

In three weeks: "Why did ECW die?" on Confidential

 

In the future: Second long clips on highlight packages and in spotlight DVDs.

Invasion Pt. 2

It will never happen.

Uhhhh cause ya know ECW guys are already in WWE or in other promotions and ECW isn't around anymore and like ya know they invaded in '97 and were brought in during the WCW Invasion so um why would they?

Damn. He'll just bury the tapes so they never see the light of day again. If he was smart, he'd continue to license them to Pioneer and keep new ones coming out. That way he'd still be making money off of them, yet have someone else incur the cost of marketing and promoting the l ine.

Maybe now they're allowed to use the term "three way dance" and maybe they can do the match right.

I'm sure Vince would release all those tapes with Joey Styles just talking smack about Vince and the WWF...that would be kinda cool actually.

It means it's time for Vince to bury the name once and for all so he can take full credit for the birth of "Attitude."

That got me thinking, If Vince did something like that do you think Paul would give him a big "fuck you" and leave or keep his mouth shut ?

also, now Joey Styles can't bitch over meaningless footage of himself being show in 2-second intervals on WWE television :P

If he did that and they had ECW TV tapings or just flat out tapes, I would cry very happily.

 

It would be interesting to see if they started another training camp under the ECW name...it's much more established and recognizable than OVW. Maybe they'd have Paul E. run it instead of Cornette.

I was a big fan of Joey. But he was a bit of a crybaby.

Not sure. I bet Paul would love to yell at Vince, but I'm sure he likes collecting his salary.

My friend said that maybe, if Vince had balls, he'd give the WCW(ECW) name/company/whatever to Shane and ECW(wcw) to Steph, and see how they do. I mean, really, their own promotion and everything. I know if I was Shane, I would want to prove my dad that i could be as good or better...maybe thats just me though

Pfft. Vince could bury the name of ECW ANYTIME he wanted to.

 

This purchase means the production team will be using ECW footage in Confidential segments, video packages and home video releases, without having to pay royalties.

just thought of something...

 

could this mean the ECW titles might come back?

That's pretty much it. Plus you gotta think that Vince just likes owning as much of his competition as he can.

I don't think that the ECW titles would come back...there really isn't any need for them

Vince WILL NOT waste his time on burying ECW. Heck, he had a working relationship with Heyman dating back to 1997, so he has no ill will towards the company to go and spit on their grave.

 

WCW is a whole different story, though.
