     When ECW made it's return two years ago and everybody was excited.  People thought every Tuesday night, they would be seeing Extreme Championship Wrestling.  That's the way it worked for the first couple of months, then there was the first non-extreme rules match.  D-Generation X(Shawn Michaels and Triple H) vs. The Big Show.  That was a great match, but things started to go down hill from there.  Early the next year, there were barely any Extreme Rules Matches left.  It became a show like Smackdown and Monday Night Raw.  The only difference, they only had one championship.

     The case now is that there are two championships, but the show is still only one hour long.  Also, the superstars are all making appearances on other shows.  The superstars they still have aren't ECW originals.  The only ones they still have are Tommy Dreamer and Matt Hardy.  

     WWE doesn't need a show that is so short and has so little superstars.  What they need is a longer show that is completely extreme.  This will get more ECW fans.
