WWF WCW and ECW 2001 - Tri Branded

At the end of 2000 the World Wrestling Federation was looking forward to 2001 as the top promotion in the world and the strongest the company had ever been. They had demolished World Championship Wrestling in the ratings for a few years and had taken alot of WCW's star workers. WCW were in bad times the ratings drop was huge compared to the glory days of the N.W.O and backstage politics made it increidbly hard to move up the corporate ladder and the company were closer and closer to going bankrupt. Extreme Championship Wrestling was also in financial difficaulty and were losing money and there top stars to the top 2 companies. WWF Owner Vince McMahon saw an opportunity, to own all 3 major promotions and have them all under 3 seperate brands. This way McMahon would be able to continue the success of the WWF but be able to keep WCW and ECW in business under the WWF name. It would increase profits and would give fans a huge variety without having to turn to other shows. McMahon first met with ECW Owner Paul Heyman, Heyman knew that ECW wouldnt last longer without backing and accepted his offer and was giving the job role as the owner of ECW. Next was WCW Owner Ted Turner,this would end up harder then the purchase of ECW because current WCW workers Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff both wanted to put money together to keep the company from going under. McMahon didnt want to ruffle any feathers and asked both Flair and Bischoff to sit down and discuss the possibility of joining the WWF. After weeks of talks between the two Flair and Bischoff agreed to backdown and McMahon purchased WCW from Ted Turner. McMahon had done it he had control of all 3 promotions and could form them into 3 seperate brands. The plan was then scheduled for January 1st 2001 on the first Raw of the year. McMahon told Bischoff and Heyman to book the remaining WCW and ECW shows before the 3 companies merge to help see which superstars are the right fit to the new regime and help get rid of the dead wood.

Raven shouts at Cole and says he has had it with the 24/7 rule on his Hardcore championship and he wants to talk to Commishiner Michaels immediatly to get the rule removed. Raven then walks to Michaels's office and walks in. Michaels asks what he can do for Raven and he explains that he is fed up of the 24/7 rule. Michaels responds by saying that he was going to tell him later that he already removed the 24/7 rule from the championship. Raven jumps with joy untill Michaels explains that the reason was that Raven had been drafted back to his old stomping grounds at ECW. Raven looks on in shock as Michaels smiles.
