Preach Case. 

Think about it..Without ECW we don't have the following..

Jericho
Mysterio
Benoit
Konnan
Guerrero
Taz
Raven
Shane
Dudleys
Psychosis
RVD
Sabu
Dreamer

All these guys got to WWE/WCW because of ECW..And most of them guys probably wouldn't have made it to the Big Two without being showcased on ECW first..

Malenko :nerd:
 
Without ECW we probably wouldn't have the obnoxious NXT crowd either

I think TNA is who made it so obnoxious. Everything was awesome.

Regarding talents that came out of ECW...cream rises to the top. ECW gave them an opportunity and a platform, but if not them the talents would've found another way in to the mainstream..

Since ECW was the little engine that did, do you think ROH or TNA will ever be looked at similarly?
 
Y'all all taking Mauro's side...

This is the real world and some people are just mean ********. It's a fact of life you will meet and possibly work with people like that.

IMO Mauro needs to just man up and walk away from it. Whining doesn't make you a winner. And being a bully doesn't make you a winner either.

If that's JBL's personality that is who he is. Maybe Mauro was too sensitive?
Victim shaming isnt going to solve anything

Man that doctor on the United Flight should've just taken orders...that's just how United is. Why is the doctor so sensitive?!

man dont put that **** on tna

everything was wrestling related and deserved the awesome chants and duel chants

nxt crowd is the absolute worst crowd ever and chant, sing along, and react to anything just to get themselves over

yall really hate tna for no reason

you wanna talk about the little engine that could? every year people laugh and make fun of tna and swear this is the year they fold. they make fun of how payments to wrestlers are late or dont get paid at all.

what does that sound like?

yet they have lasted for 15 over years

Preach brother Preach
 
ECW is the most influential promotion of the last 25 years..It kills me they don't get more credit for what they brought to the fans in terms of different wrestling styles, promo styles, and angles..Without ECW you wouldn't have the Attitude Era, hardcore matches, "shoot" style/more realistic promos, Lucha Libre, and Cruiserweights..
I agree with this.

A lot of people just saw the hardcore stuff and thought it was only that. They had more realistic characters, storylines, and in-ring work that wasn't being featured in the US anywhere else at the time. I don't want to say that they were ahead of their time, because what they did in their bingo hall changed the rest of the wrestling landscape forever.

ECW was a breath of fresh air for me when I first saw it on Sportschannel America. At first I wasn't interested in seeing Hawk or Jimmy Snuka as heavyweight champs but seeing what the WWF and WCW were putting out, anything else was worth watching. Had the old school feel with it being in a bingo hall and seeing the evolution of Scott Levy and Taz, heel Shane, Austin and Foley before they went to the WWF, but if it wasn't for ECW, we wouldn't have had Malenko/Guerrero, Benoit breaking Sabu's neck, Lucha in the states, especially the east coast. So many to think of right now but they innovators of the game.
 
As far as a creativity and influencing goes, ECW is the best promotion off all time..

You just gonna ignore all the dumb **** TNA has done over the years to warrant that reputation? :lol:

ROH yes, Impact, no

I just want thank y'all for for being the best part of nt. I've been on here for 5 years now and when I found there was a wrestling community within a sneaker community, I was hooked. I know I dont contribute much due to my work schedule but I've been lurking for a hot minute and like I've said before, you guys make it easy to get through my work day and keep me updated in the wrestling world. Thank you all
