I actually learned about ECW from "Pro Wrestling Illustrated" in the mid '90s. The first time I actually saw ECW wrestlers was when they invaded RAW just before Barely Legal. I did some channel surfing late one night and found that their syndicated show played on PASS Sports in Michigan. One of my first vivid ECW memories was of Terry Funk defending the World Title against Shane Douglas and Douglas getting disqualified (!) because Francine wouldn't stop biting Funk.

But PASS Sports got bought out by FOX Sports Net in the late '90s, so I lost my ECW viewing opportunities until they debuted on TNN. I never missed an episode of that show for that very reason. I didn't want to look back and think "Man, I wish I had watched more of it before (insert bad thing) happened."

When we moved to our new house a few years ago, we bought a trampoline, and I used to pretend to do ECW shows with my Hulk Hogan wrestling buddy. Even went so far as to make a Singapore cane of my own. Good times.
