10 Years Later: ECW

But seriously, ECW was awesome back in the day. However, due to all the reunion shows we get now, and how ECW stars are still advertised at indy shows as big names, it leaves a horrible taste in my mouth because most of them now are scar-riddled drunks who are way beyond past their primes.

Although, some of the smaller, low key guys can still go, in particular people like Tony Mamaluke and Nunzio (the last time I saw them anyway).

Here's two things I was wondering though:

1. It would be interesting if ECW was around today to see the contrast in styles between WWE's PG product and ECW's 18 product (or whatever it is in American, Rated R?).

2. I often wonder why companies like CZW are so terrible, but yet we all loved ECW. Granted, I hate all that garbage 'king of the death match' crap they put out, but it's not really about comparing ECW to CZW, more about why no other hardcore federation has gotten over like ECW did.
