There will never be anything like prime ECW in wrestling ever again
No more Tommy Dreamer, Raven, Sabu or New Jack . When you could do whatever.
Is it true ECW is responsible for kicking off the attitude era and the NWO?

Russo was just sharking ECW shyt and filtering it through his B-Movie taste.
Stuff like the dumpster angle were lifted wholesale from ECW storylines.

YOu forgetting about ROH
94/96 ECW on the New York channel at 3am was majestic as hell for the young marsupial

ROH from 02-08
ROH is what got me back into wrestling after WCW and the real ECW folded. A friend, then manager, introduced me to it sometime between 2007-10 and I went on a DVD buying spree. If he hadn't introduced me to ROH I likely would be on like a 20-year run of not watching wrestling.

Just because ECW was bigger doesn't mean ROH wasn't great. They had a nationally syndicated weekly TV show and was the prime feeding and training ground for a lot of WWE and AEW talent.
A resounding yes
As most said, Vince and Bischoff took from ECW heavy and cashed in

I loved RoH. But it's one of ECWs kids. We're talking derivatives. You're not wrong but that's also not what I'm arguing.
Wasn't Vince paying Heyman when he was running ECW?
