Nah, this was a little bit after most of that had slowed down.

Like I said, I loved ECW as much as the next guy, but I don't see it as "traditional wrestling". You had guys using insane amounts of profanity, wrapping barbed wire around dildos, throwing fireballs at each other, and never getting disqualified.
I mean, come on. If you get past all the banned moves, the lackluster storylines, and the five minute repetitive matches, the WWE is a lot like traditional wrestling right now.
