I was visiting w/my grandpa last night and professional "wrestling" was on. It was actually somewhat entertaining. I found myself LMAO many a time.

ECW...Extreme Championship Wrestling...greatest wrestling promotion ever.


They folded years ago... that sucks since WWE blows cow dung.

ECW = small-time, hardcore, crazy, dangerous, barbed-wire, fire, tables, wrestling organization which was gobbled up by WWF/E years ago.

ECW was the little wrestling federation that could. Many of the greats today have spent time in ECW. It was known for hardcore wrestling(breaking tables,etc)and many other things. Its rabid fanbase piled into auditoriums and such just to see their favorite wrestler that night. I got to see an ECW show before WWE bought them out. Truly was a sad day :(

Nope. WWE bought all the rights to ECW. The name, all recordings, music and I suppose wrestling character names. WWE is putting on an ECW "one night only" reunion type of show since ECW had a very loyal fanbase..so they are trying to cash in on it.

I went to a ECW event years ago and I gotta say it was total insanity. I don't see how these guys can survive. We were in the second row and Tajiri jumped from the top rope right over us where his opponent, (the skinny Italian guy from FBI) was "hiding" (along with several security guards, probably to prevent someone in the crowd from getting hurt.)

He used my shoulder to brace himself as he catapulted himself to the floor near the ring on his way back in. At the end of the night we were all covered with green 'slime', powder, beer, water, sweat, spit and table splinters. It was pretty gross.

First and last wrestling event I've been to. ;)

the nWo was kind of annoying like a soap opera... they never resolved anything, ever, and there were too many stupid twists that i just got annoyed.

my favorite storyline was stone cold vs vince mcmahon, leading up to wrestlemania XV. i was interested in wrestling for about a year after that until wwf bought up all the companies, now its just lame.

I miss nWo :( Huge stables like that were awesome back in the day. Now, the biggest we get is a 4 man team :(

And yes, we know its all scripted..doesn't make it any less awesome. I loved seeing a small ECW show right when Raven came back. The entire crowd was into it and chanting and everything

Austin vs. Mcmahon also spawned the best stable duel WWF ever had, Team Corporate\Corporate Ministry vs. De-generation X :) The WWF's answer to nWo vs. WCW

WWE is gettin to be more about the story lines than the sport itself... and I think that may people are letting them know this... Althought there are lots of women that like the little story lines so they are gonna try and get the best of both worlds, WWE for the people that like the soaps, and ECW for the peeps that like the sport..
