I agree with that statement. Some of their stuff (ex. New Jack,etc..)
was just complete "garbage" in a lot of people's views, but others did
enjoy it. That was what made E.C.W. a good company -- there really
was something for just about everyone who went.There was some of
the 'garbage' stuff,some 'lucha' style,cruiserweights,'old-school' style,
comedy,tits and ass,and even the big 'hoss' matches.

I remember a bunch of quality ECW matches coming to town (except
I had been going to ECW shows since 1995)...Shane Douglas (before
he got lazy) taking on Tully Blanchard for nearly an hour. Others with
Mikey Whipwreck, Dean Malenko, Stevie Richards, Chris Benoit, Public
Enemy, Kendall Windham, Marty Jannetty,and plenty of others.Actual wrestling bouts.

Later seeing ECW with Christian York & Joey Matthews, Little Guido &
Tony Mamaluke, Nova & Chris Chetti, Jerry Lynn, EZ Money, Hamrick,
Julio Dinero, Bam Bam Bigelow and lots of the others.

Sure,ECW did a lot of crap matches and angles,and had a lot of crap
performers (New Jack,Danny Doring,etc..); but every single company
that has ever existed has had their shares of that stuff.

Overall,on a ratings scale of 1-10,I give ECW a 9 1/2.....
