Forget WWECW, lets list 100 reasons why old ECW was da bomb!
(1) "Enter Sandman"
That Metallica tune comes across the PA, and everyone in the crowd knew who it is. They look in the crowds for the beer-guzzling, cigarette-smoking, rugby-playing Sandman, and the crowds sing along to "Enter the Sandman" in an unison of joy.

(3) - The Impact Players
You hated them, besides the fact that they're bastards who cheat/steal matches all the time, with Justin Credible whacking the competition with the cane, and Lance Storm the technical whore.
No, you hated them because they're BETTER than you!

25. Super Crazy Vs. Tajiri - Perhaps the best single feud during the wrestling boom of the late 90s. These two made professional wrestling into a brutal violent art and put on some of the single greatest matches I've ever seen. 26. Billy smurfing Corgan giving Lou E. a vicious guitar shot  |

30. Tables! ECW revolutionized the way tables became used in wrestling matches.
31. The smark audience. Well, maybe "smark" isn't the right term, but you know what I mean: the audience didn't consist of a bunch of marks / sheep who cheered / booed whomever the booker wanted them to, but at the same time, they could appreciate the face vs. heel storylines driven by the bookers. For instance, if the heel pulled off an amazing move (i.e. Rhino, the company's top heel, piledrove The Sandman's wife through a table), the audience would clap and cheer for the heel, despite how much they may have booed him when he initially came out. Such behaviour is in stark contrast to what you see from typical WWF audiences.
32. Giving Steve Austin the opportunity to 'be himself' and plant the seeds of his "Stone Cold" persona. The character didn't fully develop until a little after he settled in the WWF, but if it hadn't been for ECW, I doubt Steve Austin would've developed into such a classic character.
33. Bringing Lucha Libre to North America.

34. Steve Corino: the master of cheap heat. eg. "You cut Magnum T.A's brakes" (to Dusty). "Slant-eyed Jap bastard" (To Tajiri). And my personal fave: "I've got the big one, why don't you put me over you whore!" (To Lori Fullington).
35. Joel Gertner ("WELL! WELL! WELL!")
