    Paul Heyman and ECW's Books

    Two entirely different dialogues. ECW was outspending, but drew enough for what it needed to be. ECW needed to cut back on the production and let guys asking for more $250K a year go to WWE. Then he needed to hire someone to run the books to get his payoffs and enforce his contracts.

    Paul Heyman and ECW's Books

    ECW was drawing in what it needed to. It sold out the smaller arenas and did adequate ppv buys. The issue was attempting to compete with mainstream wrestling on a production level. Paul was just spending too much. And he was incapable of holding people to contracts. That includes talent, PPV...

    I'll have to disagree with ECW. They were selling out their buildings in 2000. It went out because Paul sucked at business. He lost his tv deal to WWE and then couldn't get Viewer's Choice to release his ppv profits. Had he had a decent lawyer ECW would have lived.
