It appears as though the ECW TV show has been canceled for the time being. The WWE has recently enforced talent exclusivity clauses in Superstar's contracts that prevent Superstars from appearing on the main WWE and WCW shows as well as on ECW. This talent exclusivity enforcement left ECW with approximately three Superstars on their roster (Kurt Angle '06, John Cena '06 & Rob Van Dam '06). As a result, ECW has reached a deal with the WWE Attitude brand as well as WCW that will see those ECW Superstars appear on both of those shows.

Match #7

Non-Title

Normal Match

William Regal vs Ric Flair

Winner by submission: Ric Flair (Figure Four Leg Lock)(3 ½ * Great)

Ric Flair has defeated the current WCW World Heavyweight Champion. However, he owes this victory largely in part to attacking Regal from behind. Can Flair get it done fair and square in their championship rematch at WCW Slamboree?

ECW ARRIVES

Following the cancellation of ECW, Kurt Angle '06, John Cena '06 and Rob Van Dam '06 have arrived on WCW Nitro. They will be representing ECW as they compete on the WCW battlefield.

CONTRACTS CHANGING LANDSCAPES

Several Superstars will no longer be competing in WCW due to contractual exclusivity clauses kicking in. For example, the WCW World Television Champion, The Big Show's talent contract is with the WWE main roster. WWE officials have been lax with their Superstars appearing on shows such as Nitro and ECW up until this point. Now with these contract enforcements, most Superstars will only compete for their main brand barring unforseen circumstances. This move has rendered several WCW championships vacant and has left several contender's spots open.
