ECW Title Picture - What's Missing?
The ECW has seemed to have the short end of the stick these days, since the days of true extreme have fallen by the wayside. The brand still has the ECW title, and now has major star Matt Hardy, who has done a great job replacing CM Punk as top star. However, what seems to continually hurt ECW is its lack of roster-depth. Right now there's just 3 or 4 viable heels, and that includes Mark Henry who has challenged Matt Hardy many times now. John Morrison has been in the ECW title picture many times, as he battled CM Punk, and now he's more of a tag team wrestler who occasionally gets singles matches. The Miz is another story. He may be competing for the big prize of ECW title some day, but right now he's not an option for contender or even champion. Evan Bourne won the fan popularity vote and faced Matt at Cyber Sunday, making for an interesting match. However, Bourne was injured a week or so later and is now out for 4 months.
So the time is now for WWE to make a roster move or two and help its lesser brand, the ECW. Bring over 2 heels or other competitors for the ECW title. One from Raw, one from Smackdown. Having Finlay vs. Matt Hardy is an interesting concept, but won't carry the brand or make it any more watched. A guy like Snitsky could work well on ECW, so bring him over from Raw. Seeing as Mike Knox just went to Raw, Snitsky makes a worthy similar type heel for ECW. From Smackdown, why not bring over The Brian Kendrick, or even Jeff Hardy. Having a Hardy vs. Hardy title feud might give ECW a huge boost in terms of ratings and add more viewers on Tuesday nights. There's also of course the Boogeyman who is said to be returning soon. He may provide an interesting competitor for the ECW title picture, but WWE needs to really develop him for it.
Whatever WWE does it needs to stop using the same 3 or 4 guys in the ECW title picture. Henry, Morrison, Miz can't continually be up for the title or fighting in contender matches. Finlay may bore fans in the title picture. Adding a few new heels to the ECW title picture may help give ECW a much needed boost on Tuesday nights...
