I’ve always found it ridiculous how WWE would bring up bingo halls as an insult toward ECW as if WWE weren’t having to perform in high school gyms around the same time period before they got that Stone Cold money.

I mean most of the times itw as brought up on TV it was by the people that canonically always hated ECW. Vince obviously saw value in it since he was giving them money for years before they died.

Additionally, tons of wrestling companies have done shows in armories, gyms, and even bars, and plenty of other venues without a lot of associated prestige or glamor, the disparagement was more that ECW was doing it a lot more frequently than the WWF or WCW for obvious reasons. Obviously dickish of them, but counterculture segments tend to not command a lot of respect, even when they have more influence than their size would suggest. Hell, probably especially then.
