As previously reported, WWE allowed the "ECW" trademark to expire and another organization based out of New York has trademarked the letters. Paul Heyman was asked about the news on Twitter and responded:

"Yes. Dumbshyts who think they can recapture the magic. Some people never learn!"

Heyman then posted the following rant:

"Letters don't mean anything. WWE's #ECW wasn't ECW. Any1 can buy letters. Big deal. ECW was based on ORIGINAL IDEAS! It's called "having an imagination." Obviously, trying to be a duplicate ripoff of the past is not "new" or "original" nor "game changing." #ECW was a product of its time. When I wrote @WWE #Smackdown in 2002/03, I didn't try to duplicate ECW. You move on with the times, people. #ECW One Night Stand was supposed to be a ONE NIGHT STAND. Not a way to re-marry your ex. If someone wants to take a try at re-doing #ECW, knock yourself out. Go for it. Maybe ur investment is smarter doing something NEW!!!"

Heyman's exactly right. It's always sad when you hear about some relic who peaked in the mid-90s in Philly trying to start up some new ECW-like promotion. Not denying it was great in its time, but it was completely played out more than a decade ago.

WWE loves owning copyrights, and they probably still own some pretty useless ones, but even they realized the ECW name wasn't worth anything in this day and age.

Lawler calling it "extremely crappy wrestling" always made me laugh. The ring Lawler used in Memphis for his TV show down there in the late 90s looked like it cost about 20 bucks. It was about about the size of a phone booth, and the ropes looked like cooked spaghetti.

copyrights "fukk ecw" and "home of the bounced check"

I'm siding with Paul E on this one. The 40 ounces were poured out a long time ago for ECW, let that shyt rest in peace. Cop a old dvd or vhs and shut the fukk up.

Look what happened to the franchise wrestler turned franchise employee. This motherfukker thought he was going to get a ecw wave going on some 2pac back shyt and flopped.
