RO: Absolutely not. ECW is going in the right direction with its New Superstar Initiative. They should leave the show for what it is: the proving grounds for young talent.

Kofi proved himself on ECW, and now he’s the Intercontinental Champion on RAW. Evan Bourne (formerly Matt Sydal) is proving himself and is on pace to become a No. 1 contender down the line. Besides the fact that it is just a one hour show, ECW is heading in the right direction, so no more championships are necessary.

 

ND: I agree with Ryan on this one, but for another reason. ECW stars are bouncing between their show and SmackDown! so much that another championship isn’t necessary. ECW has the ECW Championship and the United States Championship thanks to the WWE Draft.

Since the talents bounce between shows anyway, there isn’t really much need to add more gold to the Land of Extreme.

 

AW: Tough question! Many think ECW is a joke, but I have to disagree. Yes, it isn’t the old school "ECW," but it’s still not a joke. It’s where we get to see brightest young stars.

As for another title, I say YES…but only if it had some sort of stipulation. Either the Cruiserweight or Hardcore Championships would be a great fit for ECW.

 

RJ: As I look at the current title standings in WWE, nothing would make me feel better than knowing that ECW will return to its roots. I say this because ECW has become more technical than hardcore.

RAW has the World Heavyweight Championship, Intercontinental Championship, Women’s Championship, and World Tag Team Championships. If you combine ECW and SD!, they have the ECW Championship, WWE Championship, WWE Tag Team Championships, United States Championship, and Divas Championship.

No other championship is necessary unless they shake things up between ECW and SmackDown!

 

Topic Three: Will Kane answer the million dollar question about who “he” is?

ND: Eventually it will come out, but it makes better ratings to not say it yet. Everyone will continue watching to see if he will say who “HE” is.

 

RO: I agree with Nadene. Eventually, we’ll find who “HE” is. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but my money’s on Vince.

 

AW: There are three options to this one. Option one is The Undertaker for either a feud with his brother or helping in the resurrection of the tag team division.

Option two would be Paul Bearer because the last time anyone saw him was ironically enough The Great American Bash.

The final option would be…KANE! The original Big Red Monster who used to set people on fire and leave a path of destruction everywhere he went. By the way, my answer is yes, he will answer the question.
