What if the ECW title stayed on Raw?

[dffan86]

So my buddies and I were talking about the draft last year and how Kane was drafted to Raw as the ECW champion. So if Kane never lost the title to then drafted Mark Henry, what would really happen to the ECW title and ECW show in general. Would Matt Hardy's then US title be the highest title on ECW or would they rename it? And would Raw have two world titles and the IC title? Any thoughts?

It wouldn't of lasted long, as it would make no sense to leave the show without a champion.

And even if they did, it'd be just as likely they'd have Kane pull double duty, or unify the belt with the World championship.

I'm pretty sure at that point or maybe it was just a little bit after ECW superstars were always showing up on Raw so I'm pretty sure Kane would have just pulled double duty eventually losing it to an ECW Superstar.

I asked myself that same question when RVD had both the ECW and WWE titles.

What if Lashley were never stripped of the ECW title?

That's true, I wonder if the WWE is going to keep this tradition of moving the ECW title to Raw at every draft, lol. They should move it to Smackdown this time just to "shake things up again" lol.

ECW would be even more of a joke then it is now

This idea would probably be wasted on the ECW belt, but it could make for an interesting storyline if either RAW or SD 'stole' or otherwise had possession of the other brand's world title - could have both faces and heels from the one brand showing rare unity in invading the other show to get it back, backstabbing each other in the process, etc.

So far it's been pretty standard for champions to get drafted to other shows and the WWE to "suprise" us with other guys winning the titles, who just happen to be drafted to the show that the title was from originally.

By the way, I happened to catch the ECW replay while recovering from a hangover on Saturday Night on Universal HD... the Henry ECW Belt looks stupid as hell on anyone that's not Henry....

[Vince's Torn Quads]

Wasn't the new ECW belt supposed to be HHH's custom WWE title? Being silver and with the iron crosses and all.

Matt Hardy says HI!

well... missed it by a week or two

I thought Lashley was the only champ to be moved while still champ(as far as I can remember)

What if Bobby Lashley turned into a pterodactyl, and the ECW Title a glass of milk?

ECW title on Raw means too much Jack Thwagger exposure. Too bad he didn't have a father in the biz, he would fit in great with Cody and Manu

ECW with a silver belt is just another reminder to all who have try to dethrone Vinny Mac...you will be made to fall in line with Vinny Mac or suffer the consequences...resistance is futile. This is not the same ECW that gave Vinny Mac some decent competition back in the day. And every time I see that belt it reminds me who won and it wasn't the ol ECW...
