I miss ECW brehs...

[DaHNIC82]

I was watching ECW hardcore TV and I miss the hell out of that FED. TheIr the reason why I didn't quit Wrestling all together in 1995-96 when WCW and WWF wont hitting on shyt.

I try watching a lot of these indie feds today and while these guys can "work" and put on "5 Star matches" They don't have that magic ECW had or the mastermind of Paul Heyman to develop characters.

ECW had EVERYTHING for everybody. You wanted blood baths and fukkery?(The Rotten Brothers, Balls, Sandman, Terry funk) You wanted that shoot fight feel(You had Taz, Rhyno) You wanted real life storylines involving whores cheating on wrestlers?(Dreamer, Shane Douglas and Raven) You wanted tag matches that turned into street beefs(The Dudleyz, Gangstas, Eliminators, Baldies), You wanted straight up kick ass wrestling(RVD Vs Jerry Lynn, ) You wanted crazy cruiserweight action(Super Crazy, TajirI, Nunzio, Kid Kash was killing it) Plus you had straight up Off the Cuff shoot style promos which helped wrestlers build characters.

Its hard for me to watch these guys today cuz. Dudes like Axel Rotten was more entertaining than the majority of these guys in Ring of Honor or Lucha.

It's hard to watch the ECW on the network now because it just doesn't really capture the feel the show had...for me, it was the actual real music mixed with the add promos and the informercial commercials

I knew as soon as i heard that Thunderkiss song in the intro it was




and the music videos they would put in the middle were

peep how sick this enter the sandman promo from 1995 was...all of this is gone from the Network

That was another part of the appeal was that it came on real late before DVRs...that made it feel extra underground and gritty

Was a special time in wrestling I dont think it will be duplicated because someone would have to have the resources to challenge wwe and try to dethrone them.

Perfect way to describe it.

Never realized Rosey and Samu were in ECW as the Samoan Gangsta Party.

ECW overrated.

Highlighted a lot of trash wrestlers that really shouldn't have been in a wrestling ring.

I'll giving em props for giving a lot of up and comping talent a launching pad tho.
