- Original ECW was pretty garbage
- I despise hardcore wrestling. I love a good fight but dudes smashing each other in the head with garbage can lids and fluorescent light bulbs can
Had to be there I guess... At the time it was revolutionary. It looked, felt and smelled different.
They were the first company to actually acknowledge the other companies in Promo's/Commentary etc., not on some innuendo shyt like "the other guys" and all that, nah they was straight saying "WCW... WWF" doesnt seem like much now but in 93-94 that was some

shyt to me as a kid. Dudes really broke the fourth wall there so nonchalantly. You didn't know what was real and what wasn't.
The move sets were crazy... "Total Elimination"
The Sandman doing a leg drop from the top of a ladder in 93!!!
First time seeing Luchadores!!!
Dean Malenko, 2 Cold Scorpio, Eddie Guerrero with the Mullet!?!?!

those dudes didn't even use weapons my guy. They just put on classic displays of wrestling so your post is kinda null and void.
Paul E. molded so many that would come in and change the tide in both feds WCW/WWF... Austin, Foley.
In ECW you had the blueprint for which the next 10 years of wrestling would be built. This is all in the first 2 years of it's existence.
Not to mention it basically created the entire smark/mark crowd that bytches about wrestling now. All these indie shows u go to, they are all emulating that OG ECW crowd. The crowd was a character on the show damn near.

ECW was the shyt nikka.
Since im here might as well confess.
1. I got back into wrestling because of CM Punk, I think he's the GOAT. He's like the chosen one to me. He could work any era and look good. He's a student of the game, excellent in the ring against ANYBODY, and goes between Heel and Face effortlessly. He respects the OG's, still will throw a Cesaro shirt on and make Undertaker look good. Plus he fukks all the bytches. He's the best all around wrestler ever. Who wouldn't you want to see him wrestle from ANY ERA, ANY FED? Him and 80's Hogan woulda been classic, Him and 80's Flair classic, Him and 90's/2000's Shawn classic, Him and 90's Bret classic, Him and 80's Savage classic... he just works any time frame u place him in. Chosen one.
2. I don't get the Roman Reigns hype, nikkas trash honestly. Sucks in the ring and on the mic... what else is there to see? nikkas just gay for him, shyt is creepy actually. Because behind all these jokes and memes and shyt u see MEN making about him there is some real homoeroticy going on. let that sink in.
3. While on the subject of this era... I dont see all this supposed talent, that the E is flooded with now, maybe im jaded cuz i been watching wrestling since the 80's. Nobody on this roster has "it" to me with the exception of Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper, sometimes Bray but they fukking that alllllll up... As far as being a real Heavyweight champ with longevity and legacy. Big E?

really that guy sucks... Sami Zayn, Bo, Adrian Neville, they all can wrestle but none of the have the Charisma of say a Magnum T.A., you just looked at the man and knew. I will give Reigns that, he is oozing with charisma. nikkas a rock star, so I root for him based off of that alone. But other than that I don't see how the E is "stacked for years to come" these nikkas aint compelling. You can change the channel on these nikkas. You werent changing the channel during a Mick Foley promo, you werent changing the channel during Road Warriors promo. They made you believe. These new nikkas just do flips and shyt. That's nothin.
4. DBry low key corny. Everybody know's it in their heart. Just wont admit it. Need something to root for i suppose...
5. Loved Bret Hart as a kid, can't stand the sight of him now. nikka seems like he thinks wrestling is real or some shyt. Shut the fukk up.
6. Wrestling in general needs to ditch authority figures. Let them boys cook like back in the day. We dont need Commissioners, and GM's and shyt, let the storys work themselves like the 80's... Hulk Hogan aint have to leg drop Jack Tunney to get over.
