– While online reports suggest the return of ECW has just come about, Slam! Wrestling in Canada had actually broken the story on August 28th of 2005. A piece of the article:
While WWE’s top superstars were Summerslammin’, there was a big buzz outside of the ring.
WWE sources say WWE is prepared to bring back ECW right after next year’s Wrestlemania in Chicago.
And we’re not talking about OneNight Stand 2. WWE, apparently, has talked about putting the promotion on its own — keeping the integrity of ECW, small venues and all.
– Additionally, Declaration of Independents is reporting that the plan to bring ECW back has been carefully planned out since last year and that WWE is planning a major angle for One Night Stand 2. Additionally, they report that one source jokingly said that RVD would win the WWE Title and throw it to the ground, copying Shane Douglas’ NWA Title win that started the “Extreme Revolution.” Take that last bit with a grain of salt, as it was in a joking manner.
