Is it Groundhog Day? Nope, just a reupload. This episode of Bell to Bell was originally uploaded on February 16, 2020, but later received a copyright notice.

It's back online and to make it a bit better, I added in a little fantasy booking I originally left out. It's nowhere near Adam Blampied's How WWE Should've Booked but hopefully, it's alright. If you just want to see the new stuff, jump to 6:44.

Christian really carried WWE ECW on his back for a year just to lose to Ezekiel Jackson on the final episode

[DRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]

The only good thing about ECW was that Christian actually got some well deserved recognition

As someone who stayed up late to watch the original ECW as a kid. The WWE's ECW was a totally watered down version of an organization that could never be replicated and never should've been tried. I was, however glad the original ECW got the recognition it so deserved. I'll never forget those school nights watching in awe as the crowd would throw weapons into the ring and seeing guys almost kill themselves by jumping 20 feet onto concrete. It was awesome.

ECW was 10 years ago?!... I'm getting old

I agree with the idea that Yoshi Tatsu vs Christian as the final match for the ECW Championship would've been amazing and great for Tatsu's WWE run as a whole just by winning the title

Ezekiel Jackson is still the champion. His reign didn't end after those three minutes. He's still the last champion ever and he's never going to get beat unless the title gets reinstated somewhere.

I feel like the new ECW would’ve been liked if it wasn’t called ECW

[SethColby]

i like how ecw is a show revolving around doing things extreme aka things not appropriate for kids yet somehow vince turned it into a pg show

[Smashtonkane]

Am I the only one who wants to see a Carlitos bell to bell

ECW ended up being fine, it’s just the fact that it wasn’t ECW by the end. If it had any other name it might still be around as the 3rd brand. It could’ve served as place where guys from NXT who aren’t quite ready for RAW or Smackdown can go, and throw in some veteran mid carders like what they did on ECW with Christian, Matt Hardy, Mark Henry etc.

3:08 Stand back there's a Hurricane coming through !!

ECW without blood is like setting the gore settings off in a video game: It's still playable, but you might as well have just been playing Mario or Tetris to kill some time

[noahtalley]

ECW was a great move for WWE and I thought although it was rather weird to see Extreme in a PG era they still put on a fairly decent run. The only wish I had was that the old ECW title wasn’t changed.

I liked WWE's ECW reboot, because it managed to keep it alive for a little longer.

The sawdust after the kendo stick to the head was awesome

[DRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]

i really like this series. have watched every episode.

[DaveCeron]

I loved ECW, it was a great opportunity to show new talents, new storylines and Divas too just like Raw & SmackDown

[Superb_wl]

I think what made things worse was that not a single ECW legend appeared on the final ep not even Tommy Dreamer who got released 2 months prior

[GoroGoroGoroAwome]

Christian, Yoshi tatsu and Zack Ryder and a few others was the only reason I even watched new ECW
