What would be the sitiuation of Vince never bought WCW/ECW back in 2001.
Who would be on top right now? With the highest ratings/ Best wrestler

wwe would be on top, wcw was doomed as soon as the aol time warner merger happened, and ecw was also on it last legs. wcw would be where tna is now and i really don't know about ecw but i don't think they would still be open today.
Both wcw and ecw where not making any money at all, theres no way they could have survived if Vince didn't buy them.

Valid points but Im just think fans are getting pissed with the whole PG era. WWE still would have lots of viewers with all the kids and that.
There is only TNA that can fight the WWE. But a full up and running WCW and ECW with no financial difficulties would be making the WWE sweat.

Well a full up and running wcw did make wwe sweat they nearly put them out business, Vince had to start the Attitude Era just to stay alive, if wcw from 1996-1998 was still up and running today, wwe wouldn't be as pg as it is right now.

ECW and WCW would have died anyway, and the WWE wouldn't have owned their tapes which would have sucked. But if WCW somehow managed to stay afloat with financial backing they'd probably be competing with TNA for second spot (or TNA wouldn't have started cause Jarrett was a WCW guy), their production quality had gone down considerably towards the end and their ratings too so the WWE would have stayed dominant. Hell, the WWE might have actually been better off without the Invasion, because they were on a roll with great shows in 2000. WCW would have revolved around the likes of Steiner, Booker T, Jarrett, the Natural Born Thrillers (O'Haire, Jindrak etc) and possibly Rey Mysterio down the line. In the WWF Austin would have had a better heel run, Angle would still have been pushed hard as the top babyface, Jericho would have had a bigger push. Had ECW stayed alive, they would have remained the third company, in 2001 they lacked star power and interesting storylines that they used to have, that special feeling was gone a bit. RVD probably would have been picked up by the WWF anyway in 2001/2002, the show would have revolved around guys like Tommy Dreamer, CW Anderson and Japanese wrestlers such as Masato Tanaka; i.e. guys they knew wouldn't be picked up by WCW or WWF anyway. ECW could have been incredible in 2002/2003 though with new guys like Low Ki, Christopher Daniels, AJ Styles, Bryan Danielson.
