I never watched ECW mainly because it wasn't available in my area until it debuted on TNN[pre-Spike TV era], as by then, most people say ECW was dead by anyway.....

I didn't see any of Taz's ECW matches[but, heard they were good] and didn't see guys like Malenko,Jericho,Benoit, Raven, and Guerrero in their ECW tenures.....

So, I really don't have any ideas as to what it[ECW] was like before the TNN ECW era. However, I did see guys like Rhyno, Corino, and RVD in their ECW primes. Rhyno was a good champion, but, probably nowhere as good as past ECW Champs. Corino was decent. And well, RVD was RVD. The one thing I never understood about RVD was why he quit doing the "Van-Terminator". That move was freakin' awesome and got the ECW chant or "Holy Shit" chant from the crowd everytime. Guess it's the safety issue that the WWE is so worried about.....

I also liked Justin Credible in his ECW days. His run in WWE sucked completely and he was watered down WAY more in WWE than he was in ECW. In ECW, Credible kicked ass. He was one of my fav champs from the TNN/ECW era and was easily one of the best heels in ECW[during the time I watched ECW on TNN anyways].

I've heard the ECW PPV will take place in July. So, I may consider buying it to see how much better[if any] it will be than the ECW/TNN type TV was.
