Why did ECW really die?

Not many people know exactly why the original ECW went under. Most people think that it was just because ECW went bankrupt, and others think WWE just bought them out. Well, here's the real story. And to be honest, with the matches that the old ECW put on, I cannot understand how they fell under.

ECW lost a lot of money. ECW had a lot of good talent, but because it's ticket sales were always poor, ECW couldn't pay the superstars every time. Paul Heyman made a mistake when he was in business, and never tried to expand and move to bigger area's. Their max crowd never reached 10,000 people. Because of this, they were not making enough money to pay everyone of their superstars, and thus most of the superstars checks had bounced. Heyman had no option but to get rid off all the superstars that were too expensive for him to keep, and luckily for him, he had a great ability to bring superstars on the low end of the card, and make them main eventers. The good thing was, he had cheaper main eventers, but the problem was, he was losing them faster than he could make new ones.

After struggling with that for about a year, Heyman finally decided to file bankruptcy, but he kept it a secret. He had all of his superstars think that the company was still doing well, because on the outside, ECW looked like it was doing well, sadly, behind the scenes, it was dieing. After a few months from filing bankruptcy, Paul, and all the executives finally had no choice but to give ECW over to the WWE.

And that, is what really happened with the end of ECW. If only they had made better choices.
