I bloody well hope so! It still has it's moments though, when it comes to wrestling, but just terrible for what ECW stood for, to have Bobby Lashley as champ. He's so not ECW. All the new ECW wrestlers do not know the ECW-style of wrestling at all. They are all trained the more safety-conscious WWE way. If only Lashley used risky-looking suplex's. Also, if he's agile enough to jump over the top rope from the apron to inside, then he should be able to jump over top rope to outside. Plus with a third brand is too much in the first place.

I don't know...MAYBE. Even though everyone hates it, I kinda want to see it succeed so guys like Punk, Marcus Cor Von, Elijah Burke, and Striker can get some exposure.

it's a landslide so far, 5 votes for No, 0 to yes.

Yes, it's not like Sci-Fi is a huge network where a 1.6 rating sucks. Plus, I'm sure it's cheap enough to produce since it's filmed with Smackdown. They've made enough money off the ECW name with DVD's and Shirts that there's no point in getting rid of it.

the brand hasn't established itself enough yet to warrant it being called a failure

I don't think so. Not at this rate, anyway.

I think as ratings now it will stay. However don't expect much ECW now is just a nationally televised developmental territory. Just a tool to get exposure to wrestlers before they are ready to come to RAW or Smackdown. Think of it this way. Many wrestlers when they came from OVW and DSW were very green. Now with ECW they are given more experience and will be far better than when they were out of those territories. So in short:
RAW & Smackdown=Big Leagues
ECW=AAA of WWE
OVW=AA of WWE
DSW=A of WWE
I think it is a good idea and makes better use than Velocity did, however I hate them using the ECW name just awful if they called it World Class Championship Wrestling or World Championship Wrestling I wouldn't have minded or kept Velocity but this time as a brand.

It'll stay but it'll still suck.

I don't know. ECW's show this week was very good I found, and seemed to be taking a step in the right direction.
