This is so awesome. The era of WWF/WCW/ECW back then will never be matched. For a "fake sport", a lot of these guys look a lot worse physically than other aging guys from other sports. I remember watching a documentary with all these guys all talking about how much of a shitty wrestler the Ultimate Warrior was, and how nobody wanted to fight him because he would always perform moves wrong and get people hurt, etc. You have to respect the McMahon hustle, and back in the day Bischoff was a BOSS to go head-to-head with RAW on Nitro...gotta give him props for short term successes back then....because the WWF/Mcmahons were dominating the game.
I grew up around the OH/PA border and I will never forget going to small "venues" watching CRAZY ASS ECW shows outside of Pittsburgh lol. Bunch of drunk dudes and teenagers. ECW took "hardcore wrestling" to another level, dudes falling from the balcony through tables, ladders, strippers running around naked and fighting, audience members throwing shit at wrestlers and getting involved lol. Sabu and New Jack were my favs from ECW then, also Sandman and "Balls" Mahoney(sp?) and the "Dudley Boys" lololol.
