Some thoughts

Maybe Vince MacMahon has had less wrestling over the past few years because so many guys were dying or being crippled forever for wrestling long, spot-filled matches (and also living the "pro-wrestler lifestyle").

I wonder if Paul Heyman had to book on the short-term in ECW because he always had to wonder when the next guy was going to leave. Maybe he is a creative genius and was just naturally able to fly by the seat of his pants.

The current TNA/Impact Wrestling product looks and feels a lot like WCW. Somestimes they look like the Monday Nitro type show from '95 - '98 where it felt like there was so much action and you never knew what was going to happen next. Sometimes it looks like utter crap (like '00 - '01 was) where nothing makes sense and things look like they were thrown together litterally at the last moment. Not to mention that they have a rich Southerner investing in the company. The comparisons are somewhat funny.

The WWF/E Attitude Era and the original ECW can never be replicated. There just something about that time and people that made it what it was. Its best to just remember those times fondly than to ask for a return of those times.
