All they need to do is take some cameras to an ECW house show throw Styles and Taz at ringside and put it on tv. It would be perfect because house shows kinda have that dark ECW show feel to it anyway

So will that mean separate audiences and locations as well? The ECW audience is dead enough from two hours of Smackdown. Fixed.

What I want is for ECW to move to The CW, and CW Anderson to debut on their premiere show. That way we can finally hear Joey Styles say: "CW is making his debut tonight on ECW on the CW." That might just top "Harcore Heaven.......'97!"

With Kevin Thorn not even being on TV Tuesday, and with the upcoming debuts of Shannon Moore AND Renee Dupree, there simply isn't enough time to squeeze all these new people in(Angle, Show, Knox, Test, Punk, Thorn, Moore, Dupree) and still have time for the originals(Dreamer, Sandman, RVD, Sabu, Guido, Credible). I also have yet to see some of the originals on TV at all(C.W. Anderson). Unless of course Vince is intent on killing ECW and slowly weeding out the originals. Still even, there seems to only be time for four matches per Tuesday given the massive amount of commercial time thrown in. Ok, so we might not see Doring, Roadkill, and the rest of the former mid-carders. But you can't hope to take RVD or Sabu off, they're a big portion of the ECW ratings. Even with only the top ECW stars and all the new guys they're investing money in, there still isn't enough time to get them all on TV. I agree on a second hour but not for Doopree or The Reject (aptly named). If Smackdown and RAW get 2, ECW should as well. Problem? Roster size. GIve it time. When ECW signs up for more episodes with Sci Fi, it'll probably happen.

Having another brand really does create a lot of new revenue for WWE. That's why the brand split has not and will not end. They have lower attedance than in the 90's boom, but they have good attendance at 3x as many house shows this summer. Individual wrestlers, on the other hand, are working less than in any boom period because they only appear on their brand's show instead of all house shows. This means less injuries, unless you are on Smackdown, which means stars stay bankable longer. They get more PPV money by running more shows and more ad money from more TV. So having a third full fledged brand would only help make more money. I think Vince can't wait to add a third taping. It won't be a financial detriment.

ECW needs zero hours instead of 1 or 2, and get off the sci fi channel

Do you understand that a 2 hour slot makes for at least 2 kellys expose Don't you threaten me with that! (Just kidding. ;D) They got rid of the Kelly Exposes. Now they just have Mick Foley destroying what was left of his manhood and Manlina dry humping him. Oh and Kelly was flailing in the background too. Did you check out the flash lighting they were using to disguise that non dancing broad? 2 hours mean less Kelly dancing and more kendo sticking Kelly in the head. Now who can argue with that?

Forget the second hour. They need a SET location every week. Like the Hammerstein room or Chicaco. Someplace like that. That way CM Punk and others would be OVER every single week.
