You hush.  If I didn't see it in ECW then it was new to me.  ECW just had too many "matches" that were just two guys hitting each other with kendo sticks for me to give it much attention.  I'm surprised you had a chance to watch it while playing Lineage II or whatever it was.

They did have a lot of that, but then they would also bring in guys like Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Gurerrero, Chris Jericho, Steve Williams, Doug Furnas & Dan Kroffat, Kaientai DX, etc., before WWF/WCW would even give them the time of day.

You should check out Raven's ECW run some time. The WCW stuff doesn't have the same impact because he was midcard 4 lyfe there. Whereas in ECW, he was basically a Ric Flair for the '90s.

I heard after the fact about all the great wrestlers they had at one point or another but back then all I heard about was "hardcore" this and "hardcore" that.  I was actually kind of annoyed because that screwed up the other promotions for awhile, because they tried to get into the act.  I do remember watching RVD and Rhyno there, though, and Taijiri.  On, and Taz.

Maybe I'll see if I can find anything.
