10 WWE Shows That Should Have Been Season Finales
7. ECW (February 16, 2010)
WWE's version of ECW was at long last put out of its misery in 2010. Few mourned its disappearance either. Fans, wrestlers and probably Vince McMahon himself had been trying to see off the C-Show for years by this point.
There was a certain inevitability about it since the aforementioned December To Dismember catastrophe. That derailed a train that was already starting to rock on the rails. This, sadly, cleared away a mess that had been there for years.
It was a shame, really - distaste and disdain had morphed into disinterest. The inflection on the "F'N" in "EC F'N W" had changed substantially from what it had once represented - it was just more g*dforsaken content to sit through no matter how much you wanted to see Christian or had heard good things about Vance Archer.
But it didn't lift the curse left behind. ECW was gone, but in its place McMahon provided the original NXT. A putrid hybrid of bad wrestling and bad reality show, this somehow conspired to be even worse at creating stars than the wretched show it replaced.
