WWE doesn't own OVW they just have a deal in place with the actual owner of the promotion (Danny Davis) to use it as a developmental. The purchase that WWE made from them was the rights to all of the tapes with WWE develpomental talent on them stopping OVW from distributing there weekly programs and stopping sites from selling them.
Now as far as WCW goes, even if Vince didn't hat it it wouldn't work. WCW and WWE are to similar for there to really be a difference between them. I mean if you put Ric Flair in a WWE ring or Ric Flair in a WCW ring it is still the same. There is not that much of a difference between the product that would be put out between the two. ECW at least felt different in teh beginning with the Etreme Rules and the way that they shot it and everything but even now all it is is a televised development featuring castoffs from RAW & SD and people from OVW. At last count I think there are maybe 4 ECW originals on the roster and the rest is made up of mostly developmental talent.

how would they bring back wcw? there was nothing that really defined what wcw was, whereas hardcore matches, blood, etc. defined ecw. bringing back wcw would just mean bringing some old wcw stars back. why would they have to call it wcw? they could just sign superstars as the normally do. not only would vince not do it, it's also a horrible idea.

The people that think WCW was better wrestling in 2000 and 2001 are the same people that WWE tries to please by putting World Titles on Cena, Batista and Great Khali. Half of those people probably thought ECW on TNN was "Extreme"

I was a big fan of WCW, there talent pole was so great. Now that's a company that had wrestlers that entertained the fans with angles but also with good wrestling, not the crap WWE is stuffing down the throats of the fans today. Sometimes I think to myself what if WCW were still around today and it was WWE that was out of business? But to answer the question to the topic question, I would rather not have Vince or the WWE Writers kill the legacy of a company that created and rebuilded some of the biggest names in the wrestling world the we know of today. Your probably asking yourself created and rebuilded what is hulk86 talking about? well if you look back at the history of WCW you would have to agree they recreated alot of the BS cartoon characters that WWE had for the 80s and 90s and made some of them bigger stars then they ever were working for vince.

Im just saying since ECW is making WWE a little better... If Vince Mcmahon was wanting more Advertisement he would bring back WCW since it was ALOT bigger than ECW... And then he can even do another thing where Paul Heyman comes back and takes them both over and then makes them FREAKING AWESOME!!! And like another INVASION happens.. But the whole time Vince ownes them all... He should do this with TNA also.
