Well RVD is a fucking druggie, for one.
Two, Vince wasn't willing to let Heyman just do what he wanted.

Punishing RVD (who cares if he did drugs, they pushed HBK forever, he should have gotten the push regardless)
December to Dismember
Pushing Bobby Lashley

Benoit went berserk. Also RVD couldn’t stay off the weed.

Yes. All stoners should be sent to a sensory deprivation chamber until they either quit or die. Verification not required.

Nostalgia isn't a long-term strategy. Should have always been what it was at the end, a mix of veterans like Regal and Goldust with rookies and greenhorns.

Quoted By:

It was the first definite instance of WWE forcing a square peg in a round hole using nostalgia-bait.

The ECW documentary they produced sold well so they did ONS to milk the brand some more. When that went well they just went ahead and revived ECW as a third brand. Problem was ECW couldn't have existed on national TV, within the confines of WWE's bass-ackwards corporate structure. Everything that made ECW, ECW was toned down and the show essentially became 205 Live/Velocity/Shotgun Saturday Night.

Vince couldn't keep his hands off it and it was obvious from the start that it was the C-show. ECW had a decent start but it got really bad, really quickly.
I still occasionally jerk off to the Kelly Kelly strip teases.

Aside from the usual WWE problems? The issue was branding it as ECW. It made people expect everything that it wasn't, which was basically developmental.

the arena, the ecw arena and it's crowd were as much of the show as the show, without that they started to struggle, should have just stayed and played where it worked and broadcasted that

It was clear in the debut night it would to be ECW but some bizarre Velocity-tier show with ECW branding. It was like your cool drug addict cousin who would show up and do wild shit at family cookouts, but now he was older and had a kid. He's trying to force himself into a corporate job while still injecting heroin into his nuts. It was a disaster.
Unironically got better when they dropped the pretense of being ECW and was just the C-show.

They wanted to build the whole show around Kurt Angle; a guy who hated ECW and was barely being held together by any painkillers he could get his hands on
