Sure he said it was just garbage wrestling,nothing but guys bleeding for no reason. Not sure how much is a work though since he did a few shows and a PPV for them. Found this :
James Guttman welcomes Jerry” The King” Lawler back to ClubWWI.com and mentions all the things that have happened since he was last on. For one thing, ECW rose from the ashes…and was dead again a few years later. Jerry is remembered for his work with Extreme Championship Wrestling’s first incarnation. Jokingly James asks if Lawler’s feelings for the company has changed since he showed up in Philly to cane Tommy Dreamer. Lawler responds and gives his true feelings for the company he once called “Extremely Crappy Wrestling”:
“The appearance that I didn’t like ECW and everything is hopefully attributed to my ability to sell what we’re trying to do on the air. A lot of people think I really, absolutely hated ECW, which couldn’t have been further from the truth. If you look back, you’ll see that I was the only one who went and worked with ECW from the WWF. I went and worked their pay-per-views. You don’t work on someone’s pay-per-view and wrestle on their show if there’s genuine bad feelings between the two. I was always… I won’t say a big fan, because I was down in Memphis and I didn’t really get to see firsthand all they were doing. I heard about it. I knew. Because we were trying to keep the Memphis Territory afloat, I knew the struggles and hardships these guys were going through.”
