Desperate times lead to desperate measures. They seem to be hoping that they can catch lightning in a bottle & hit on the next Stone Cold. Ratings are down, not even giving away large sums of cash gave them the boost they wanted/ needed, the return of Jericho fizzled, they've devalued the ECW brand almost completely, their #2 show got dropped by a second tier network & ends up on the broadcast equivalent of a third world country, etc, etc. There's very little good news for them lately and I sense a growing amount of frustration & desperation.
The one thing that might give them the best chance at pulling out of the slump, namely working hard to create a solid product, seems to be the one thing they're most unwilling to try.
