In comments to WWE.com, Vince McMahon says he has big plans for the relaunch of ECW. "We are taking the ECW brand global," said McMahon.
Plans are underway to have Merchandising and Licensing, International Sales, Live Events, and Pay-Per-View exclusive to the ECW brand.
McMahon also stresses the new ECW will be different than the ECW fans remember from the old days. McMahon plans to bring in some of the familiar names from the original ECW, but "it can’t be the same. That’s pretty much impossible. It’s now five years later. A lot of the performers now have five more years under their belt, and the ECW style has taken a great deal out of them. This is something that the ECW audience already realizes. They know that if ECW was still in business today, they would be very different from what they were five years ago.”

McMahon is going to commercialize ECW. Guys like Sabu, RVD, New Jack, etc were crazy in the old ECW. They won't be able to do the same stuff now. It's going to end up more mainstream and safe and lose its cult following. |

Probably and I always felt if you are not gonna do it right don't do it at all. ECW is not the WWE. Vince wants more money which is fine, but all he is probably gonna do here is tarnish the old ECW. |
