A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. Its OVW Hardcore Championship was NOT represnted by a BELT at all, rather the championship title was a Trash Can!- T00C00L 12:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC) Reply Yeah, and I just realized this a couple a days ago that there is a difference in colouring of the ECW logo, on the original belt and the current belt, and so i put it up on the main page on 13th July 2006.NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. I totally agree with the guy above me.^ And for User:ECWWrestling, id like to say that just having 'the title BELT' doesnt make one a champion, you all should know that WWe's(affiliated) developmental promotion Ohio Valley Wrestling, Jeff Silvers 20:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC) Reply The only connection the ECW Championship has to the NWA Championship is that they were briefly held by the same person. As far as the NWA thing goes, I don't understand that one at all. Furthermore, as the parent company of ECW, WWE has the right to decide whether or not the current title is a continuation of the original, and they have done just that.
Hulk Hogan still owns the WCW title from the Russo incident at Bash at the Beach 2000, but nobody claims he is the WCW Champion.
Yes, it's a different physical belt, and yes, Rhino owns the original, but that doesn't make him the champion. There has been nothing to indicate that the ECW World Heavyweight Championship currently held by The Big Show isn't the same title held by Sandman and Tazz in the past. Even if the current incarnation is nothing like the original, it is still "officially" ECW. For one, I've never heard anything that says that Rhino was declared the "permanent ECW Champion." Second, WWE owns ECW. The ECW World Heavyweight Championship is still owned by Rhino, who, as part of the legal settlement during the bankrupcy in 2001, was awarded the title of 'ECW World Heavyweight Champion' permanently, thus Rhino is still techinically ECW ChampionĪs the new brand of WWE called ECW has very little to do with the original ECW, and has a brand new championship, this should be given its own lineage and page on the site, with the 1st champion listed as Rob Van Dam, on 11th June 2006 User:ECWWrestling I disagree strongly with this.
