I think this just boils down to more CZW yard tards liking ECW due to the fact that is was closer to that shit garbage wrestling than anything else.

AWA had a far more expansive TV and PPV market. They did shows overseas. THis whole argument is fucking retarded and incorrect. You make assumptions based on the fact that you didnt see them, probably because you are 13.

AWA was very much international. They ran shows all across North America, and would frequently bring in Asian wrestlers. The AWA also had T.V deals in Europe and would venture there. An example is the infamous Otto Wanz Heavyweight Title reign. Mr. Saito also won the AWA Title over Larry Zbysko in Japan.

LOL!
Showing a syndicated TV show doesnt make it an international promotion. They never left US soil and had little to no international ties other than a piss poor limited talent exchange. International Promotions have established business ties around the world, do shows from multiple countries. |

I think the wrestlers went to Japan, but i don't believe the actual promotion did. kinda like a talent exchange.

AWA had Ricky Choshu and Saito as a tag team at one point. The Guerrero Brothers frequently did stints in the AWA too.

lots of wrestlers you wouldn't even think of have done AWA shots one time or another. Like Gertner said, there were constant talent exchanges going on within all the NWA promotions. Fresh Faces brought in $$$$.

Being as I wasn't alive for AWA's era, I can't pick. Love ECW to death though.
They ran shows in Japan. As a matter of fact, I have a Hardcore TV that details one of their Japanese tours. So yeah... Last edited by Kami Raki; 08-20-2009 at 11:18 PM. |

I'm bumping this...
I'm actually surprised ECW is winning this poll, because based on the thread I really thought AWA was going to be killing it. ECW is responsible for making wrestling industry the most profitable it ever was. Late 90's boom happened primarily because of the big 2 companies ripping ECW off. ECW can't compete with the AWA roster, but ECW still made a ridiclious impact with 1/3 of the talent AWA had. That's really impressive. |

I will not give ECW that credit.
ECW drove WWF/WCW to their finest and changed the landscape. AWA drove WWE/NA to their finest. They are very similar. I will neither say that ECW had a worst roster. AWA had anaoming chance. They had Hogan before he was Hulk. They has the most amazing wrestlers ever come through. but ECW roster over the years was just as good. AWA had Hogan ECW had Austin AWA had Perfect ECW had RVD And so on |

AWA had Bockwinkel, Hall, Hansen, Brody, Rhodes, Murdoch, Ventura, Verne Gagne, Von Raschke, Road Warriors, Robinson, Martel, the Rockers, and so on. ECW had The Dudleyz, Guerrero, Benoit, Malenko, Mysterio, Douglas, Bigelow I'd take the AWA roster any day of the week. |

It still doesn't measure up to the AWA's talent roster. Anybody who was anybody came through the AWA.

I'd put WCW ahead of ECW. WCW during its peak was tremendous.

but that was like 10 percent of their run. Think of 1990-1995. and 1999-2000
ECW was solid its whole run |

After 2000 it wasn't that great, especially in its final years.

Consider the time frame though. ECW had teams like the Impact players, Eliminators, Gangstas, RVD/Sabu, Dudleyz. No way any of those teams would have come close to winning the belts( I'm aware FBI held the belts when it was smothers and Guido.)
