You completely missed the Lucha Underground point. Slow clap. The point is that just because a guy isn't writing for WWE RIGHT NOW (!) doesn't mean he hasn't forgotten more about professional wrestling than you've ever known.

Go back and watch Smokey Mountain Wrestling. It's seriously about as good as NXT -- if you can pull your head out of your ass and watch it with a time context in mind. You should also try listening to Cornette some time -- it might open you up about some things.
A company that gave us some of Landell's best work. And the Heavenly Bodies were hot shit. He also introduced the U.S. to Jericho and Storm. Other guys who got noticed? Bob Holly, Brian Lee, The Gangstas (their SMW stuff > their ECW stuff), Candido, Sunny. And one other guy. Oh yeah, KANE.

SMW did as much for mainstream wrestling in the 90s as any other Indy. Including ECW.
