For quiet some time now i feel that ECW is the better of the 3 shows, ECW put's on average about 3 matches each week atleast 2 of these are always good and worth watching, take alook at ECW this week with the Nitro Vs Cena and Punk Vs Burke 2 Out 3 Falls match both where good matches.
There promos also in my opinion to be good and flow well most of the time.

The other 2 brands tend to be stale and the big one i think is lacking direction, yet ECW tends to be the one that is bashed and criticized alot more than the other 2.

Thoughts?

ECW has like 5 people and all but one are heel, dont really need to see every show to keep up either. Raw is the true show, combining wrestling with storyline and wrestling. And SD is pure wrestling. So there 3 different shows and it just depends what mood your in. But if you look at all the aspects, Raw is the best show.

well i just started to watch the old ecw about 1 year ago but already i think during the 90's that was the best brand as it is like roh the now it where the big boys start and get better.personally i think they should bring back barbwire matches,flamming table matches etc etc if the wwe want to make money get the hart foundation 2.0 to work on ecw.

I wouldnt mind ECW if it wasnt called ECW. If it was called...like...Tuesday Night Mayhem or something then it would be cool but it just CANT be called ECW because it just isnt that. It also can get very boring at times and if its called ECW then we should at least see some more Hardcore matches!!

I can go on and on about the problems with ECW if I wanted to, clearly it is not the best brand IMO

You know what, i tend to agree in some respect. Certainly its not the old ecw, and certainly it doesnt have your big name stars and veterns. But ECW is offering something different to what wwe fans are used to. THats why i like. The show features great young talent, in good matches, and they let them go at it. The wrestlers have more freedom in ECW. I get tired of seeing Booker T for over 10 years. A lot of the big stars are like that.

ECW also has another BIG advantage that RAW and SD doesnt have, and its the best booker in pro wrestling in Dusty Rhodes.

I dont know if i would say ECW is the best show, but they go above and beyond expectations. Certainly each show has their advantages and disadvantages. IF ECW gains a few more new stars like Burchill and Colt, look for them to really be entertaining.

I think that of the 3 shows, Raw is still the best because they got the best and most famous names in wrestling, and they have enough people to rotate feuding with. Comparing SD and Ecw, i think right now, ECW is better because they got marcus cor von, burke, thorn, nitro and punk. But they got too little faces and the wrestlers have all fought each other before. I think that cor von and thorn will turn face and that will create new match-ups, but they need more wrestlers to rotate having feuds with

I agree, I think more work should be put into it to make it even better, like a Finlay, or some other high profile (or new future wrestlers) moved to the show. A name change to like Mayhem or New Breed, etc. And possibly 2 hours if they really want to put it up there with RAW/SD.

I think ECW is really good, but I think RAW will always be better for me, IMO, just because of the names.
