Am I the only one who still calls ECW "ECW"

[GrantM]

And not that stupidly retarded "WWECW"

[Joekishi]

nope I do too...doesn't this belong in the WWE section though?

[JMA]

I've always hated the term "WWECW," and I often pointed out how stupid it was, on this board and on others. Real ECW fans would come up with a more creative term for the new ECW.

The WWE writers don't bother being creative when it comes to WWECW ... so why should we?

1. A better name would most likely end up being censored/filtered on this board

2. Why do you need to think up a good name when they dont think up a good show?

WWECW is great, or, we can always go with Jerry Lawler's "Extremely Crappy Wrestling", which after 10 years is finally true.

If it weren't for having to quote Puppies Boy, I might be inclined to go with that.

Eh, I don't know. I've just never cared for the "WWECW" name.

But, in a final analysis, you're right. Why should fans even bother mocking the brand? It does a good enough job of that on its own.

I could go for that. Funny that the name was actually used by a real promotion.

[skskillz]

Um, isn't it kind of simple? The brand has ECW's name, but it's completely written like a typical WWE show. Hence, WWECW.

What were you expecting?

I don't think it's retarded at all, it's a WWE version of it, so it's WWECW. Sounds silly to say, but on here it's easier to type it.

It's a WWE-influence over it, so that's why it gets that name. Calm down a bit, geez.

[JMA]

It's definitely not an issue to get worked up about. After all, no matter what it's called, it still sucks.

[hollywood]

WWECW seemed pretty appropriate to me, and even a little clever. People call it that because they want to differentiate it from the original ECW.

But if you want a different nickname, how about "Extremely Corporate Wrestling?"

"stupidly retarderd"

[MGH]

That's what it is to me, WWECW.

Shouldn't it be "Retardedly Gay" ;D

WWECW seems to be the right name to call it anyway. *shrug*

[Richard]

I still call it ECW but, on occasion break it down into different eras like so:

• ECW 1.0 (Eastern Championship Wrestling. In the NWA)
  
• ECW 2.0 (Extreme Championship Wrestling. The one everyone remembers/thinks of)
  
• ECW 3.0 (inVasion angle ECW)
  
• ECW 3.5 (The current ECW)

you're not the only one, it's still ECW to me... WWECW just sounds like a smark's way of making fun of it... almost the same way as if you heard a stereotypical Stars Wars fan to say something like "Jar Jar Binks? more like 'Man this stinks'!" followed by a really nasal laugh...

I would appreciate it, my good sir, if you did not refer to my fellow Star Wars fans and myself in such a derogatory manner!

you'd appreciate it?! i'd appreciate it if you took your fat, smelly, no good, star wars watchin', anakin larpin', naked leia fan fiction readin' ass out of my face!*

Well, we use "WWECW" because it's simple and to the point, and rasslin' fans know what you mean when you say it. Although, I really don't care what I call it as long as I distinguish it from the original (read "real") ECW somehow; to not distinguish the two is a great disservice to the original.
