News on the ECW Championship

For those who have asked about what this all means for the ECW title, that actually has not been decided yet. The belt may still continue on in some fashion. Some are lobbying to keep the belt, but it's a Vince McMahon call and he hasn't made the call yet. Those pushing to keep the belt feel it can still be used for the undercards of secondary PPVs as an attraction, so we'll see.

They should make it the TV title. Everyone loves the concept.

But how ironic would it be if it was made into the TV title, yet it barely gets any time on TV (knowing WWE)?

[calibancalhoun]

I say scrap it, if they kill off ECW, just kill it off already. I hate loose ends.

[Toates Madhackrviper]

Yeah, I say kill it or make it the TV title.

[D2: Sweet & Sour Edition]

NXT Television Championship.

Sounds decent enough. Given the concept of the show, have it be a deal where whoever holds the belt can be featured on Raw or Smackdown.

[Cyno]

The NXT Championship. Just take the current championship, a few strips of duct tape, cover up the "ECW" logo and write "NXT" in magic marker. None will be the wiser.

[Natalya's Ass Fanboy]

Hardcore title.

[Tapout]

Kill it with fire. The brand is dead-didily-ead.

A Shane Douglas-style trashcan toss wouldn't be a bad way to retire it if the new title is placed on a heel, or if it's simply tossed by McMahon.

[EJS]

So the news is there is no news.

[sam_III]

It'd be a bit silly to have an ECW championsip but no ECW...

[Andrew is Good]

Christian has really brought the belt back up, but again, the ECW program has crashed and burned. I guess they could rename it the NXT Championship, or it could be rechrisened. Or something like that.

Or, they could have a match where Christian gets pinned, like a double pin or something, and then the title becomes vacated, and that's the end of the ECW Title. But then again, it's best for the NXT Champion to have some lineage at least, instead of just being a belt plopped from no where.

At least with the World Heavyweight Championship, it has it's lineage with the WCW Championship, which came from the NWA Championship, which the linage story on that can be told forever.

I also think the news story is kinda funny.

It is not yet known what is going to happen with the ECW Championship.

Gripping news.

I guess today must be a slow news day. Like when it was reported that Maryse went to the dentist awhile back.

Well if they do keep it, I atleast hope they get a new belt. That gigantic silver thing is ugly as hell and was only made for Mark Henry's fat ass.

I don't know. Considering they have been working at changing ECW for months now, have announced the end of the show and, set the date for the new show, I find it an interesting story that WWE has no clue on what they are going to do with Christian or the title.

Seems that is a huge detail they have glossed over.

[BorneAgain]

The ECW title still existing in some form for a while goes along with my idea in another thread about a controversial pin involving Christian and his opponent with the former up and quitting the brand and taking the belt with him, and being the independent/renegade champion who's challenged by various people on different brands.

[derrtaysouth95]

I've never liked the new title since they got it.

With ECW going away completely and the brand changing gears in a huge way I say just give Christian whatever the new "big title" for the new brand is. Or make him a similar title and move him over to Raw/Smackdown. You can't just take his title away....though they did with Lashley.

[hajimenoippo]

I'm all for title unification for whatever title edge doesn't go for or maybe edge chooses both the world and ecw champ

WWE just doesn't completely decide anything till the last minute.
