WWECW was a cool little booking vacuum that I missed most of during the initial TV run. I started watching when Finlay and Regal were on regularly, but that was a few years into the run, and much more towards the end of it. I don't think it was very popular at the time, but it seems like it has a cool WCW syndicated vibe. A quick internet search for "WWECW" brings up hilariously whiny web musings, including an article titled "Why the WWECW is a Waste of Time" (sample quote: "Vince McMahon and the WWE has destroyed what was once a great wrestling company and turned it into your typical WWE program.") and urban dictionary defining it as "The WWE's attempt at resurrecting ECW under Vince's control. WWECW will never be as good as what ECW used to be." So yeah. Let's let someone who actually enjoys wrestling decide what was good and bad about WWECW.

In a lot of ways, WWECW in 2009 was what got me back into modern wrestling after a few years out of it. Especially by the end, it was really just booked for TV, a lot like NXT now, and it was mostly ignored. You had Regal, Goldust, and Christian just tearing things up and a lot of fun younger talent. And, of course, before that you had Finlay, Henry, and Matt Hardy.
