There is talk of bringing back the weekly Kurt Angle Open Invitational once ECW starts. WWE has even given Angle the ok to mention that he wants to challenge anyone who wrestles even if they do so in a 6 sided ring.
The Scifi Network has requested that the WWE incorpirate some science fiction material such as aliens and or vampires into the ECW product.
WWE is hopeful ECW will do well enough that it will be moved to USA once their 12 week deal with Scifi is up.
The plan for Kevin Fertig who was recently resigned by the WWE is to be the leader of a heel faction in ECW.
ECW on Scifi will be live most of the time when it is done on the East Coast and taped when it will be done on the West Coast.
Other names talked about as maybe going to ECW include Charlie Haas, Big Show, Rob Conway, Matt Hardy, Jimmy Yang, and Shannon Moore.
The original plans of having Heyman and Dreamer book ECW alone may have already gone to the wasteside as WWE creative has been booking most of what has gone on with the brand thus far and they will also be booking One Night Stand. Many workers and staff in the WWE locker room already feel that ECW is going to fail because of this and a number of other reasons.
The current ratings expectations for ECW on Scifi by the WWE and NBC Univesal is a 1.0 to start.
Tazz is scheduled to return to the ring to wrestle in a limited role soon and the plan is do to a match between him and Lawler very soon.

Good info HBK.
Nice, Kurt sounds like he's going to be good in ECW. The Open Invitational was pretty cool at times. Maybe each week they'll have a ECW Wrestler challenge him, and he'll work his way up to the top, last being the Wrestler with the ECW Belt, that would be cool.
Lol, Sci-Fi wants Aliens or Vampires in ECW? Lol, maybe they can sign Vampiro then.
Nice, cool their hoping to bring it to USA in the future, they are expecting big things from ECW, nice.
Wow, they definitely need Dreamer and Heyman behind ECW, that is a most and obvious.
Really bad to hear a lot of Wrestlers are arlready thinking ECW will fail, I don't like to hear that. I hope it's not true, all sounds pretty good to me for a start at ECW.
Nice, Tazz will finally be back in Wrestling, and ECW, even better.

WOW Aliens in ECW? That will be really wierd to see. But with wrestling these days I would not be surprised if they did have a couple ETs and Counts battling it out.LOL.

I don't think the fans would buy an alien wrestler. A Vampire, maybe. A redneck that claims to be abducted and probed by aliens, definately.

Well if Sci-Fi is serious and they really want Vampires (or Aliens) in it then I think Gangriel and Vampiro would be perfect.
Forgot to mention before that Matt Hardy would fit into ECW real good I believe. That feud he had with Edge when he stole his girlfriend (Lita) was actually pretty good and hardcore.

Vampiro, Gangrel would be a good combination Plus Gangrel spent time in ECW so wouldn't get booed out of the building for his gimmick and Vampiro's style would fit in well into ECW. Lol they could possiably another member as well and reserect The Brood. If only to see that Cool entrence of theres again.

Gabgrel did have one of the best entrances Ive seen. And to bring the brood into ECW would be really cool. Vampiro and Gangrel would make a great team and maybe have Luna at their side.
