Look, I live in Philly.. Been through the original ECW generation in the 90s and loved every moment. I'm gonna give a little insight.

For starters, the "ECW Philly crowd" is still around. We were teen/20/30 year olds who loved the unique style. It's been over 14 years from the "good" times in ECW, and now some are over 40. Their time of the dudes in tights dancing (even if it's hardcore) didn't go away, but the uniqueness did. It's like EVERY other organization out there is "hardcore" and has that "we can do whatever we want" attitude. The problem is its not any different from each other.

Secondly, the original ECW was a once in a lifetime thing. We loved the feeling of going to Front Street to see a three hour dance that will live in our minds and hearts forever. We know it can't be relived, and it won't ever.

Speaking of reliving the past ... As soon as the new ECW (even as soon as the WWE purchased their assets) came about, it was just another hour of WWE programming. Others tried and are still trying to imitate the past, and it can't be done.

Why have we died down? Well, for exactly what reasons are not known, but I can say we need different, we need uniqueness; we can't have another ECW lookalike.

CZW was cool at the begining; ROH was really awesome at the beginning; 3PW at its time was almost there, EVEN TNA had something going the first time they came. But nothing will ever capture our hearts as 1993-2000 used to.

No matter how old we are now, we still love the dance, and always will. We just need something different.
