For those of you active in the internet wrestling community, several sites have been reporting that WWE and Sci-Fi are going to be "Rebranding" ECW. Wonder what that means? Hopefully, the Extreme Rules re-instated? Just a thought...

I dunno what this means, but lets all PRAY that they want it to be like the original a little more... Who knows though? The draft is coming up soon.

Im very happy with the current ECW product personally, i dont see any need for the extreme element to return, especially with the PG rating. Not sure what this could mean, maybe a name change?

I think you are confusing Hardcore with Extreme.  Hardcore is using weapons and beating the heck out of someone...

Extreme is No Limits, Pushing the envelope, over the top, high stops and fast paced high flying action. 

BIG Diffrence!

ECW Rebranding might just be changing the name... which would be a huge mistake on the WWE's part considering how it has built a strong fanbase in recent years dispite having one title and a small rouster. 

We will see what the WWE has in store for the ECW.

Ok, I got the real story:
The branding geniuses at the Sci-Fi Channel think that in 2009, the name “Sci Fi” is just too geeky sounding.  The solution?  Rebranding it as Syfy.  So it's now ECW on Syfy.
