WWE's ECW Title Future, WWE Changes Chamber Name in Germany

- WWE has changed the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view name back to No Way Out for fans in Germany. This was likely done out of concern for the "Chamber" name being seen as politically incorrect in the country.

- As noted before, WWE officials still aren't sure what to do with the ECW Title. While ECW is going away, the belt may be kept around in some way. Some within WWE are lobbying for the belt to be kept around but the final decision will be Vince McMahon's. Those in favor of keeping the belt feel that it can still be used as an attraction for secondary pay-per-view undercards.

Sooo the match itself will be called The Elimination No Way Out where 2 superstars start the match and the other 4 superstars are held in their own respect No Way Out's?? Every 5 minutes a No Way Out is selected at random and that superstar is released from his No Way Out into the match. The match ends when all of the superstars are released from their No Way Out's and through elimination rules one man is left standing in the Elimination No Way Out becoming the ultimate winner.

What about an official retirement ceramony for the ECW Championship on the final ECW. Speaking of which, I hope Vince can make this a big as event you possibly can with 1 hour on a Tuesday. That might be asking too much from him though.

The Elimination Chamber name sucks and No Way Out doesnt make sence in the PPV, I had actually voted for the name "WWE Heavy Metal"

I hope to see a nice send-off by Vince and the WWE, but like Spider said, Vince couldn't give a flying fu## about ECW.

SimpPhom: I voted for WWE Heavy Metal too! That would've been a badass name for a ppv with 2 matches in the Elimination Chamber.

But, there goes WWE creative writing again.

My fellow guitarist and I were talking about how sh##ty WWE creative has been with the whole Hart/Vince/Batista/Cena story so far and we came up with something simple that practically writes itself.

It involves Batista. Batista is supposed to be this guy who just wants to dominate everyone and take over right (as he proved by helping vince and taking out hart/cena in the story)? So, why not team him with Ezekial (however you spell his name...) Jackson and Vladimir Kozloff and call them Total Domination. They could go onto each show breaking the roster rule, gaining heat all over and just take guys out for their own gain. Batista could even help Orton win the title with Orton enlisting their services, and then they turn on Orton so Batista could win the title and they would be the most heated faction in recent memory beside SeS. Think about it, it's so easy. You have The Animal, The Russian Bear and The Black Predator. Oh, and just get rid of Regal...

Yet....WWE creative can't think of simple sh## like this that will easily boost profiles of certain guys thus, providing the conclusion that they're so lazy to even come up with a good ppv name... such sad times...

maybe make the ecw title on superstars i reckon it will make people watch it and olny have the title be defened on the show superstars and have it for all three brands to go out it. another way to build young guys like jack swagger or even bourne or other young guys  but dont have the title be defened on other shows like nxt or raw or smackdown olny the show superstars

I don't see a need for the ECW title to remain, there are plenty of belts already.

The only way I could see it working is if a heel were to win it from Christian and claim himself an unsanctioned world champion...much like the Million Dollar Championship.

That couldn't last for long though.
