shamelessposer Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 or maby ecw is getting replaced Not when ECW pulls strong ratings by its current network's standards and has better name brand recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklefurball Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Are they gonna do it the same way the late superstars was ran (part recap/part 'behind the scenes') it had some pretty funny moments, ie. mick foley saying the old raw theme song was his wedding song and that the lyrics were I love you, I love you... Or Jeff Hardy in his backyard riding his dirtbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djthefunkchris Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Wonder how this is going to do? I think this Thursday is the first show (or re-installment). They say it's going to have top stars, but I kind of doubt that. Still, it's kind of neat that they aren't going two hours, and that it's one hour, and one hour before TNA (Not going head to head really).

Anderz Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 any idea whether this is gonna be shown in the UK? the WWE Website doesnt list anything.. just wondered if anyone had heard anything.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsiddus2 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 if WGN is shown in the UK then you'll get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidEFC Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 any idea whether this is gonna be shown in the UK? the WWE Website doesnt list anything.. just wondered if anyone had heard anything.. I heard Sky Sports will be picking it up eventually and showing it before Raw on a Monday at 1am and moving Vintage Collection to another timeslot. Although I can't find anywhere that gives a start date from when it will air over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameSnoopy Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 They say it's going to have top stars, but I kind of doubt that. Undertaker vs. Matt Hardy and Christian vs. Finlay have been confirmed in the WWE.com -website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a more interesting show than another B show...spreading talent even thinner. how is talent being run thin? people spend months without going on t.v Sim Solo Snuka, DJ Gabriel etc. Now if they're going to use it to show off those people who don't get used as much on the big three then yes i.e Paul Burchill and others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprinklefurball Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 yeah i know ecw shouldn't really count but it does I was just wondering because I hadn't heard the brands referred to that... Only ECW, WWF and WCW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorBait19 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 yeah I thought about that before I posted it but then I was like whatever, because now Superstars depending on how it's used could be consider a four brand. If the first episode is the big names and then after that it is used to showcase younger talent then that's what the brand would be used as/for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It doesn't sound like a 'brand' to me at all. It's a TV-show. That features all brands. Currently it has big matches. Maybe in the future it'll feature lower card matched like Heat, Metal, Velocity and all of those recap shows. Time will tell. Although I did predict several months back that "WWE will add a 4th brand before they go back to 1." so... I could win a very substantial bet if it does get full-brand status.
