Okay, so its pretty unanimous that ECW is the weak link in the three brands. Its ratings are very very low in comparison to the other shows, and its generally looked on with disdain by smarks and apathy by marks. So what path would you take to try to increase the shows ratings? Would you lengthen it to two hours and add in underutilized talent from other shows like Supercrazy and Helms? Would you give CM Punk the megapush that many on the internet want him to have? Or would you choose another option? This is your chance to vote!
(If you picked Other, please explain what you think would be a good idea).

The show is already on life support with little hope of recovery. Just pull the plug.
Send the ones worth a damn to RAW and SmackDown. Fire Mike Knox, Kelly Kelly, Test, and Kevin Thorn.

Send Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Monty Brown, CM Punk, Elijah Burke and Stevie Richards to the other brands and sack the rest of them.

MORE COWBELL!!!
But seriously, I'd just cut my losses and spread my talent over the RAW and SmackDown brands, and use the 1 hour timeslot on Tuesday nights to bring back Velocity to cable TV.

Even the most cynical of all smarks couldn't have predicted how bad it would be.
Just cancel it.

Kill it, erase it from history, find ever tape and bury it in the desert, rewrite history to say it never existed past 2001.

I would push Punk, but not as a face. He can be an awesome heel, and what ECW really needs right now is an awesome heel champ. The only interesting characters on ECW (at least to most fans) are all faces, so the only way that the main event scene in the company will capture anyone's interest is if they have an awesome heel champ. I like Test, but he will most definitely not cut it.

As usual, the board moves to kill ECW and save "The Good Wrestlers."
Sheesh...

I watch ECW more than RAW and Smackdown...honestly, I'll stick to my hypothesis of If ECW was named something else, people here would love it. I say keep it so I can say I watch one wrestling show currently.

Other. I like the show...and WWE has great marketing skills to improve their product, if needed.

C'mon--it's too simple:
Take it away from Smackdown, put it in smaller arenas like the Hammerstein and Viking Hall, and let Paul E book it. Presto--you've got the best wrestling show on TV.

Sorry, but as of right now I can not join the "ECW is doomed" bandwagon. Maybe a month ago, but I no longer can. ECW was better than Raw these past few weeks. I therefore think a better question nowadays is "What do we do with Raw"

I'm no psychic but there is NO possible way the ECW brand is going to survive. My guess is a brand merge within the next year and just sweeping what little is left under the rug and acting like nothing happened.
Fast forward two years and we'll see posts like this again-
"Bring back ECW! Come on it would be awesome to bring it back again, I know it failed once, but maybe if they did it right this time.. blah blah blah"
The fact is, there beating the dead horse so bad that its starting to look like a pile of mush everyone just wants to ignore.

how is it unanimous this is the worst show, RAW to me is easily the worst show and the WON awards also reflect that so i cant be the onyl that feels that way.At least in ECW you are guaranteed 25 minutes of wrestling on the hour.
