WCW weren't the only brand to 'invade' WWE during the aforementioned invasion. Vince McMahon also acquired ECW and they too merged with the pro wrestling juggernaut, bringing some of their own stars along with them.

Years after the invasion had come to an end, WWE had the novel idea of bringing back ECW. At its height in the 1990s, it was a groundbreaking wrestling company and one that revolutionised the business.

ECW became WWE's third brand, and it did not go well. Trying to capture what made ECW great during its heydey proved more difficult than WWE had initially thought and the watered down version of the hardcore brand was a pretty big failure.
