ECW was the hardcore group of the 3, WWF, WCW, and ECW back in the 90s. Of course we all know what happened, Vince bought out WCW and ECW and WWF was changed to WWE cause of legal issues. A lot of great guys got their start in ECW but its not the same now, smaller names, mediocre personalities, with the exceptions of Hardy and Mark Henry, and the matches aren't as exciting. Now I know people might criticize me saying oh I only watched the DVDs of ECW and I don't know what I'm talking about, but that's not true cause I never found it worth my money to buy a pro wrestling DVD or PPV. I miss the days of RVD, 3D, Rhino, and while the lightweight action is still there, it doesn't have the hardcore part that really set it apart from WCW and WWE. Oh well, TNA solves my fix for some hardcore matches, the last PPV, which I watched online, was pretty awesome, especially the match 3D vs Rhino and Christian.
