Vermaat, I think we should perhaps address the fact you've completely misunderstood what ECW was.
To the layperson ECW was about 'garbage wrestling', and many were drawn to it by the appeal of violent, no-holds barred wrestling from the likes of New Jack, the Baldies, Cactus Jack and the Pitbulls. However, ECw is better known in the wrestling community for being hardcore.
Now, please don't misinterpret the word 'hardcore' here. I do not refer to 'garbage wrestling', chair shots, broken tables, balcony dives (and in the case of CZW recently) broken lightubes, thumbtacks and water-containers. I refer to the Hardcore attitude. The Hardcore attitude refelected the 'up yours' attitude of the 90s, which as you might know, was replicated to some degree by the WWE.
ECW wasn't about garbage wrestling at all. And many within the industry would detest any similarities being drawn between CZW and ECW. If there was any exisiting federation around today which could be comparable to ECW in the 1990s it'd be ROH. Because at least ROH is thinking outside the box, against the convention of storylines, angles and gimmicks and breaking the mould just like ECW was 10 years ago.
