The ECW brand will be put to rest once and for all in the near future.

According to a reliable source, WWE officials have had several meetings with the Syfy network about re-branding WWE’s Tuesday night show. Both sides are in agreement that WWE’s version of ECW has been a bust and plans are already being made for a new weekly series. While several ideas have been tossed around (including a magazine-style recap show), right now the most likely option is that WWE will drop the ECW letters and “identity” (whatever that is) and create a new brand that will feature young and-and-coming stars. The Tuesday night timeslot will likely stay the same.

WWE relaunched the ECW brand back in 2006 after the undeniable success of the “Rise and Fall of ECW” DVD set and later the ECW One Night Stand Pay-Per-View events. After ECW was relaunched as a brand, it quickly became apparent that WWE had no intention of keeping the elements that made the original ECW special and turned ECW into a watered-down, generic “C” show. The first week of ECW on Syfy back in 2006 drew around a 2.4. These days a 1.1 is considered a good week.

While it may be bittersweet to see the ECW letters go, ECW has been dead for a long time and a brand featuring primarily young stars sounds like it has potential.

Stay tuned for the latest.

    You do realize that you have just yped a big @$$ lie. ECW is doing pretty well. ECW has been pulling in solid ratings of 2.5 or higher for the last 2 months and at times it had higher ratings than RAW which is WWE’s flagship show. Plus ECW is the place where WWE grows new talent and since people don’t really care about WWE Superstars (which barely manages 1.6 ratings) WWE NEED ECW and it is one of the most popular shows on SyFi. You obviously got your staement, your evidence. and your info from ECW back in 2006 or 2008 because ECW has not been as bad as you said it was for a long, LONG while

    ECW IS NOT DEAD!!!
