ECW Was the pinicle of underground wrestling for many years before Vince McMahon's mega power Titan Sports took over the professional wrestling scene. The debate here is a 3 peice debate.
 
1.) Is the current ECW Product a solid product?
       B.) Does it have potentiol for growth as is.
 
2.) ECW of Old V.S. ECW Of New, which is/was the better product.
 
3.) What should be done differently with the current ECW OR if you don't feel anything should be done differently, why is the current way the right way?-

1.) Is the current ECW Product a solid product?
First off I dont see ECW now as a solid product. They are trying to promote like they used to but now it is run basically as a WWE storylined company. When it used to be nothing like that. I dont think it can last much longer as a solid product to be honest with you all. Either let it go, and bring the wrestlers back to WWE nuff said!!

       B.) Does it have potentiol for growth as is.
The way I see it yes and no. Yes, being how they are bringing in people from the past, and trying to give some of them second chances. No, because They are not well produced. Look at them, they are trying to hard to fit them in, when RAW and Smackdown are cleaning their clock. The only thing is, if your going to have ECW, keep it as the old ECW.
 
2.) ECW of Old V.S. ECW Of New, which is/was the better product.
The old ECW by far. None of this regular match shit!! It is either hardcore wrestling, or its nothing at all. ECW was based to be hardcore, and nothing else. Extreme rules all the way from what I remember it. But now it is shot down to WWE standards and it is nothing like it used to be.
 
3.) What should be done differently with the current ECW OR if you don't feel anything should be done differently, why is the current way the right way?-
 
I feel it needs to go back to where Hardcore should be. Not some oh your gonna get DQ'd if you hit some poor fucker with a chair. This is ECW not WWE. This is where rules are thrown out the fuckin window. These wrestlers like Sabu and Sandman, gave it their all, and they are hardcore. You can see it when they wrestle now, they are not into wrestling as much even though wrestling is still a part of the show.
 
Now thats my piece i know you can disagree and thats fine, but this is what i am seeing as of late

1.) Is the current ECW Product a solid product? not as solid now as it was when Paul Heyman was running it...when they restarted...they had the raings they needed and the fueds despite the rvd/sabu mess

       B.) Does it have potentiol for growth as is. it does have potential to grow and could be a major brand but unless the owner allows it to be a major brand it wont and as far as what they are doing with it now it wont grow.
 
2.) ECW of Old V.S. ECW Of New, which is/was the better product. they are both completely different products with different wrestlers even though most of the old ecw stars are on the new one now it still is different but i will choose the old over the new
 
3.) What should be done differently with the current ECW OR if you don't feel anything should be done differently, why is the current way the right way?- i feel that they should go back to the old heyman style it worked it was clicking and everybody was into the product...now they have it as a water down version of smackdown which is pathetic
