After ECW was brought back by Vince McMahon in 2006, ECW has changed considerably. At first there was a great buzz around, and ECW got high ratings. But the new ECW just hasn't been the same as the old one, and many of the old fans have stopped watching the new ECW. The extreme simply isn't there anymore. Recently ratings have been so low, that Vince McMahon that WWE have been forced to merge Smackdown and ECW in order to salvage some form of a fanbase. This was a success at first but again ECW ratings have dropped drastically low. Vince was all for shutting down the show, and the fact Sci-Fi were reluctant to sign a new TV deal didn't help. As an old friend of Shane and Stephanie, they recommended me to Vince and this is how he came to contact me. Here is the letter Vince sent to me.
I was delighted, it was my big chance to enter the business. I had no job at this time anyway, and was living off the pay-off from my previous well-paid job. I met Vince, we talked about how he wanted ECW to come back like how it used to be, EXTREME!! He told me that he had contacted old ECW stars and they would be very interesting in coming back and wrestling. This was my ideal oppurtunity and i signed the new job contract right away. I was working for World Wrestling Entertainment and it was my dream. Vince then showed me a video of how he wanted ECW to be like. It was a compilation video of the old ECW, which was put on the big screen in his office. Click Here for the video...
Let's hope I live up to the job, and make ECW just as popular as it used to be. What a dream this will be to work for WWE, and ECW.

WWE To: Simon From: Vincent Kennedy McMahon said:Dear Simon,
At combination of poor ratings, insufficient matches and unexciting, dull wrestling has made me think seriously about the future of my ECW brand of World Wrestling Entertainment. The fact our show is bringing in very low ratings, and the TV deal with Sci-Fi is likely to be terminated I decided I would be closing the brand. After board meetings on the matter, it was almost concluded and I was preparing my official statement announcing the demise of ECW and when it's closure would take place, when Stephanie and Shane burst into my office. They persuaded me not to close ECW, but i gave them a hard time in doing so. This is were you come into the equation. They told me of an old high school friend, who ran a successful backyard wrestling promotion. But it was forced to close due to personal problems. They told me, you would be the man to salvage ECW, and bring it back to the levels it used to be in the 1990's. Somehow I believed them, and this is how I come to send you this letter. If you are interested in the job of bringing ECW back, as an extreme promotion, one to be aware of just as much as RAW and Smackdown, please meet me at the WWE Headquarters, I will be in my office all day, next Tuesday. Simply go to the reception, and mention your name.
Yours Sincerely,
Vincent Kennedy McMahon
Chairman World Wrestling Entertainment
