again, ECW at the height of WWE/WCW war with both of those promotions getting record ratings (mostly by stealing ECW talent and ideas) was still able to manage to go from some local bingo hall in the philadelphia slums drawing some few 100 people PHilly crowds, being aired at 2am on saturday nights was able to build such a buzz that WWE showcased them on one episode of raw, from there they took that momentum and by 1999 were a legit third brand on national television ..... do you realize how amazing that is.... that would be like evolve or some sh*t today having a national tv deal, getting a video game and turning into a legit major brand....
again if ECW only had one major show they would easily surpass all-in , what they were able to do for how small they were is 1000x more impressive
