This is true. I noticed that I am able to give more into the storylines and let kayfabe live again with LU.Once you learn to embrace the fukkery, there's no choice but to love it.

Pentagon Jr out here threatening to burn people alive now.
Greatest wrestling show on television! 
@ the way Vampiro sold that kick.

ECW should have been presented like this. They had enough talent and creative writing to make their show really appeal to a storyline driven wrestling audience in a tv season format. Even tho im only catching this on youtube, LU is awesome. The best wrestling programming i've seen in quite some time
Nah, King Cuerno is part of AAA...no way they let him go. He was probably busy in AAA as El Hijo del Fantasma

“El Rey absolutely wants us back. They’ve given us an offer on the table, we want you to come back 40 more episodes, ‘we’d love to have you start airing in October. We want you back.’ Now, what we’re trying to do as an organization, is we want to maintain this certain level of production value.
There’s the amount of money El Rey is giving us, and then there’s this amount of money that we need to spend in order to keep the same level of quality that we’ve established. […] It’s a high production value, we put a lot of emphasis on the production value, we don’t cut any corners.
So now, what we are doing is, myself and the other El Rey executives and the investors and Mark Burnett and the people who work now at the United Artist Media group – there is a combined effort to bridge that gap, between the money El Rey is giving us and the money we need.
All options are on the table, whether that’s Netflix, or iTunes, or a secondary broadcast partner, or DVD sales, merchandise, you name it, every options on the table. The money guys are trying to close that gap, and once we have that gap closed, we’re announcing.”

It won't ever happen but imagine if Vince smartened up and said "We want to put you on the Network" so they stop dropping matches and episodes on Youtube but make them available on-demand through the WWE Network after a week or so.

Should Never Mention Me
ECW was actually presented in a great way, though. They had recaps of the longer matches from the house shows during the week, and hit all the storylines. TNN tried to get them to turn down the violence and turn up the fukkery which would have done better for TNN's tv audience at the time, but was absolutely not what ECW's paying customers were in for. ECW lived off of it's "shoot" culture.
LU's fukkery now is a fresh of breath air because of how long it's been since something like this, but in 1998 we're barely a few years removed from Robocop showing up, and the Yetti making run-ins. This sort of high kayfabe fukkery would have never survived. It's exactly what people were sick of and turned on.
