According to a reliable source, World Wrestling Entertainment plans to put the ECW brand to rest once and for all in the near future as I noted earlier here on the website. WWE officials have had several meetings with the Syfy network about re-branding WWEβs Tuesday night show.

Both sides are in agreement that WWEβs version of ECW has been a bust and plans are already being made for a new weekly series. While several ideas have been tossed around (including a magazine-style recap show), right now it appears that WWE wants to make the new Tuesday night brand a βWWE minor leagueβ and feature young up-and-coming stars.
Β
WWE relaunched the ECW brand back in 2006 after the undeniable success of the βRise and Fall of ECWβ DVD set and later the ECW One Night Stand Pay-Per-View events. After ECW was relaunched as a brand, it quickly became apparent that WWE had no intention of keeping the elements that made the original ECW special and turned ECW into a watered-down, generic βCβ show.
Β
While it may be bittersweet to see the ECW letters go, ECW has been dead for a long time and a brand featuring primarily young stars sounds like it has potential.
Β
Stay tuned for the latest.

Looks like ECW Dies again! :D But perhaps the idea replacing it will be worth the sacrifice.
