Ecw gets way too much love in comparison to wcw. Nikkas act like wcw never contributed to the progression of pro wrestling(yeah I know they were terribly ran, but still). Wcw had the hottest angle of all time. It was the nwo that kick started the biggest peak in wrestling; the austin 3:16 stuff just added on to what the nwo`s popularity was already doing for wrestling in the same sense of how austin kick started the attitude era and then the rock made it bigger.
Wcw made goldberg and basically set the standard for undefeated streaks in pro wrestling from there on. The undefeated streaks that samoa joe, crismon, ryback, umaga, moose, and others had was influenced from that goldberg streak.
In hindsight Vince McMahon does everything he can to discredit wcw.
Dx ain't better than the nwo and they never were
It's always ecw this and ecw that and that's not to say that they didn't influence the culture in a good way, but it seems like wcw stay getting sh!tted on. Ecw had a lot of innovative stuff, but they wasn't perfect neither. They always showcased less talented guys like tommy dreamer and sandman. Maybe Vince holds them in higher regards because he saw it as a non-threat. Despite the revisionist history ,Wcw`s presence is still missed to this very day. I just don't understand why ecw gets so much love while wcw gets so much shade. It's as if wcw wasn't even a factor to the business.
