Found em' on a super local channel that would play them randomly on Saturday afternoons and sometimes evenings. My older cousins would make fun of wrestling until they watched some ECW and literally would be on some "Oh that's real right there!" at table spots and chair shots.

I started checking it out after mankind debuted in wwf, he was doing crazy shyt . I had to know where he came from. Western mass had em on 2am on the Spanish channel fri or sat night. I missed their best years but i still saw the legends that made them. First one i recorded was insane. Its when newjack went solo and went banans on everyone, jumped from the rafters on to someone on a table. He came out to cube n Dre. I lost my mind.

I was 10 or 11 at the time (guessing 1999?). My friend told me about it when I was living in Jersey. He made an E-C-W sign with his hand and I thought it was cool.He actually ended up moving to Philadelphia. But I didn’t watch until I was channel surfing late at night. All I remember is seeing a Dudley Boyz match and Fred Durst in the intro. I didn’t give it a chance and didnt watch past that until I got the internet and downloaded old matches after seeing RVD in WWF.
My siblings and I would watch Rollerjam on TNN though.
Bro I was a Rollerjam stan
That was the best TV to me. They had a bootleg Goldberg and a bootleg Hogan shyt was great. Had storylines and erreythang. Had a lil PCP skating round the house messin up the floors. That plus Rocket Power being hot at the time was hell on the house
My parents used to buy me the magazines and it used to come on here late night. PWI used to cover everything. I used to have a big stack of wrestling magazines.
Dudleys promos was like a Smack battleStayed up late one night and caught a Dudley Boys promo, saw they were swearing and holding no punches (almost literally)
Side note, Dudley Boys had more members on the team than No Limit Records

VHS tapes and seeing promos or actual recorded events at 1 AM in the morning.
ECW felt creepy because it was so home made.
the WWE and WCW had a bigger production crew ..
it really sucks that WCW and ECW both closed down.

Same way any 6-7 year old gets put onto anything they not supposed to be: the cool Uncles and Older Cousins.
First image of ECW I can remember is Tommy Dreamer having Raven cuffed to a cage in a crucifix pose then bashing his shyt in with a steel chair.

back then, at 1 AM, for cable Television, you had a few choices, soft core porn or creepy wrestling .

TNN was the shyt back in the day. Roller Jam was dope too, I was interested mainly because I used to blade as well. Crazy how TNN was still a channel for wrestling despite the it rebranding several times before dropping it totally when it became the Paramount Network.
