Major ECW Changes Expected Shortly - Early Details
Partial Source: PWInsider
As I noted earlier today here on the website, there are some major changes in store for ECW in 2010 according to a source. I do know that there have been talks between WWE and SyFy in recent weeks about a major re-branding of the show including dropping the letters 'ECW'. The SyFy network & WWE are both currently unhappy with ratings with ECW being considered a failure among many. WWE producer Kevin Dunn is also not a fan of the letters 'ECW' and never has been.
The plan according to a source is to use the show to promote up and coming superstars. There is a reason why there aren't many big names on the show these days. This is also part of the reason that Tommy Dreamer hasn't been seen in recent weeks.
I've heard more but I'm going to hold off on reporting it until I can get further confirmation. Stay tuned.
