ECW Reflections

I'm sorry, but anyone who calls ECW garbage needs their head checking when it comes to wrestling. I'll admit I was once a nay sayer cos when ppl started telling me about it, I thought it was just a bunch of guys wanting to hit each with staplers and that kinda stuff for pointless reasons, then when I sat down and watched, I loved it.
I must've seen every ECW encounter between Super Crazy and Tajiri umpteen billion times cos they were that good. The only RVD/Jerry Lynn I haven't seen was I think at a Guilty As Charged that had the insane Tornado DDT.
Lets face it, if it wasn't for ECW, Raven would still be Jonny freakin Polo, amd guys like WWE, TNA and WCW wouldn't know about Rey Mysterio, Psicosis or Juvi (or at least thats my opinion).
As many people have pointed out, ECW also had an incredible workrate and deserves all the props in the world for running as long as it did.
ECW was the innovator of so many things and people need to look back on what ECW was doing and think how the current wrestling scene can learn from it in terms of how to hold a match and a crowd cos they were two things that ECW could do very well. The InVasion and guys like RVD and Heyman prove that the ECW moniker is still very much in the hearts and minds of wrestling fans and if it can touch so many fans so much that they still chant it, then surely its still worth something today and the past superstars deserve as much air time as they can get. Well, thats my take on it.
Joey Styles and Cyrus should get hired for the TV show if the plans go ahead.
