And WWE wants to make the illusion that ECW is it's own entity. It could be on Lifetime and I'd still Tivo it. </p>

<p>ecw will have its first telecast on tuesday june 13 </p><p><a href="http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/scifi">http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/scifi</a></p><p>&ldquo;After keeping the ECW concept alive and creating an enormous cult-like following for all things ECW from DVD&rsquo;s to PPV&rsquo;s to books, we feel that now the time is right to officially launch ECW as its own stand-alone franchise,&rdquo; said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman.</p><p><u><font color="#0000ff"><a href="http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/ecwlaunch">http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/ecwlaunch</a></font></u></p>

It's going to be OVW with cookie sheets and chair shots. My hopes aren't up.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I'm giving it a shot.&nbsp; I would like to hope that treated right it will be successful, however, I still don't know why they aren't immediately starting tapings at their old venues instead of before Smackdown shows because they aren't the same crowds and the smaller venues are guaranteed to sell out every time.

<p>I have to agree with Jerry Lawer</p><p>Extreamly Crapy Wrestling.</p><p>I just cant sit down and watch it. I dont enjoy the story lines at all. </p>

[Bill From Yorktown]

<p>it's bad enough that they switch to infomertials in the wee hours of the morning, when I could really use ANYTHING to watch (insomnia).&nbsp; This is just bravo sierra.&nbsp; It doesnt belong on sci-fi.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sheesh.</p>
