I was thinking on just starting a topic on wrestling reboots in general, but thought one trying to find ones that worked might be more fun.
If anyone has a proper definition of what constitutes a wrestling reboot exactly please feel free to supply it, but for right now I think we can just be pretty subjective in how we determine what one is.
As for me I think for all the good and bad it had, the WWE reboot of ECW was fairly successful. Sure, it gave us the abomination that was December to Dismember, but also had things like RVD and Dreamer finally getting proper heavyweight title reigns.

In before "I thought the title said 'Wrestling Robots that Worked'." Well then I'd have to say Rebecca DiPietro counts. I don't know how you want to define work, but she certainly helped Batista out with a few jobs. |

WWE's reboot of ECW was incredibly successful. People just don't understand that it wasn't meant to be the old ECW forever. You got a couple months of it mostly being old ECW guys and then the rest were slowly phased out.
You could say the NWA in 2002 as well, they gained a lot of steam and became a national name again with TNA.

WWF attitude. WCW got close in spring 00 bu. had no unity of effort so it lost momentum and failed. The WWECW reboot was successful but I lost interest and tuned out

The new ECW had more in common with the old ECW than people gave it credit for - namely, getting over hot new talent, letting them take off the training wheels, get over a little bit before coming to main roster. That's basically what ECW served as for WWE. It may have been about table breaking and technical wrestling, but the main thing it was about was getting over new guys. |

WWECW is the only thing I can think of.
