Had a random thought today watching back ECW ONS 2006. Seemingly WWE had a formula for WWECW from its debut return to TV. They clearly wanted a veteran on the roster that could help put over new guys. It was Angle in 2006 before he left, and it was Benoit in 2007 before... well.
But given that Mick was decently on TV at the time between the feud with Dreamer/Funk and Flair in 06 and coming back for a few matches in mid 2007, I can't help but think he'd be the perfect choice for ECW champ around Summer/Fall 07. Having Punk chase heel Foley for a few months in the summer of '07 would have been way better than what we got with JoMo who felt like he came out of nowhere literally. Then you could have had guys like Burke, Morrison, Miz chase in the Winter with an even more established star in Punk.
Random thought thats terrible or something that could have been decent?

I think it could have been decent. Good mind games could have been played

It might have worked - but Foley's TNA title run still leaves a bad taste in my mouth, so I'm glad it didn't happen.

Maybe in 2006 it would have worked when Mick was heel with Edge feuding with Dreamer and Funk. But as the time frame went on, I don't see it working out that great.

Bringing him back in 2007, I'd say no. If they'd went the route of him as champ when he was feuding with Flair rather than him feuding with Flair then yeah it would have worked, would have been better than Big Show at least. I honestly think the thing was doomed from the start once RVD lost it, Lashley did a great job and I enjoyed the Punk/Morrison rivalry but if we're talking "old school ECW originals" having the title then it was inevitable that it wouldn't go well.
