______________________
World Wrestling Entertainment chairman/CEO Vince McMahon has announced the official end of the ECW television program in three weeks. During this week's ECW telecast, McMahon also stated that a new program to represent the next evolution of WWE would take ECW's place in the Syfy timeslot.
The cancellation of ECW on Syfy comes after years of declining ratings as it quickly veered away from Paul Heyman's extreme vision to become a watered down version of the two more prominent WWE brands. Though the new ECW did still feature strong wrestling matches from time to time, there wasn't enough marquee power or promotional support to attract most WWE fans.
The new program is expected to focus on younger performers, the 'next generation' of WWE talent. In some respects, the effort may end up being similar to the current ECW brand but without the history of the ECW name behind it. PWInsider.com reports that the rebranded series will be known as 'WWE NXT.'
What isn't immediately clear is which ECW brand performers will be retained for NXT and which ones (if any) get reassigned to the Raw and Smackdown brands. The status of the ECW title now held by Christian will also have to be clarified in the weeks ahead.______________________

The U.S. Senator targeted by ex-WWE CEO Linda McMahon's political campaign is set to retire. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) surprised political observers with his apparent plan not to run for reelection this year for his senate seat.
Contrary to some early speculation though, Dodd's retirement may actually lower Linda McMahon's chances of winning entry to the U.S. Senate. Dodd was politically damaged goods over his support of bonuses for AIG insurance company executives. By contrast, his expected replacement as the Democratic nominee is the more highly regarded state attorney general.
In any event, Linda McMahon still needs to defeat opposition in her own Republican party to even gain a chance at the Democrat. McMahon remains in a toss-up race for the Republican nomination against ex-Rep. Rob Simmons.______________________
