Dreamer once said that working with Jerry Lawler was one of his favorite moments of his career. He said he has never seen another wrestler get so much heat from the fans that Lawler did when he went to ECW. It made him proud to be part of it.

[@fergalstackstreams]

The issue between Heyman and Lawler was not just because Heyman refused to take a bump. He had been asked if he would do it weeks beforehand, and assured Lawler that it was no problem. Then when it came time to take the bump off the scaffold, he chickened out. When they got backstage, Lawler punched him in the face and broke his jaw.

[@jelissajamison1386]

That's what was great about wrestling in the 90's you could see your favorite wrestler pop up in WCW WWF or ECW before becoming a huge star.

[@CaptHowdy-ym8px]

I remember being in school I the early 90s when people started talking about a wrestling organization called ECW that wasn’t anything like the WWF or WCW. My classmates were talking about how violent, bloody, and real it was compared to the other two. But it came on early in the morning like at 1 or 2 am or something like that at the time. When I was able to finally watch it, it was more than I could have imagined. ECW was a much different animal than I was use to from what I watched in the 80s of the WWF, WCW (Jim Crockett Promotions), and stuff from the NWA.

[@greatheightsu]

This stuff usually goes unnoticed, but your audio skills are top of the game.

[@shaquessejones9947]

Man you make the best videos. So I’m depth but still entertaining.

[@roryslaine7896]

I grew up on the WWF. I knew what ECW was but never had access to watch it. First time I saw RVD was in the second Invasion story angle in like 2000/2001. He instantly became my favourite wrestler. He maybe didn't have the same charisma as other superstars on the mic, but in-ring he never disappointed.

[@FozzQuaker]

[@MatthiasPowerbomb]

Great video. I really regret missing out on this as it happened. I didn't start watching wrestling until early '98, right after Wrestlemania 14. I believe the first RAW I watched was literally the next night. There are several epic things I missed out on in '97 and the beginning of '98. Fast-forward to now and I haven't watched wrestling in what feels like forever. I got burned out somewhere around 2014 or 2015. I don't remember exactly.

[@ShubhamMishrabro]

You must have burned around when authority and roman were always in tv I hated that period except cena and Lesnar. I loved 16 when aj styles came

[@MatthiasPowerbomb]

@@ShubhamMishrabro I guess It might have actually been later than I thought because I remember AJ coming in, so was that 2016?

[@ShubhamMishrabro]

@@MatthiasPowerbomb yes 16 royal rumble he debuted. SmackDown was tremendous that year whereas raw was carried by Jericho and owens feud

[@MatthiasPowerbomb]

@@ShubhamMishrabro That must have been about when I checked out because I vaguely remember what I guess were the beginnings of the Jericho/Owens angle. If I remember right, KO was just starting to show signs of being something when I stopped watching. I think by that time I was watching sporadically as opposed to religiously like a few years earlier. Starting right after WM14, I watched every RAW, and then Smackdown, and usually Heat and some of the online stuff religiously for well over a decade. At some point in the early to mid-2010s I started to taper off until I eventually stopped watching entirely. Not for any particular reason, I guess I just got burned out, plus the product was starting to get really stale and wasn't holding my interest.

[@ShubhamMishrabro]

@@MatthiasPowerbomb I started watching around 2012 but got fed up by roman push as he wasn't ready and bryan got injured

I do remember the ECW invasion of 1997 wow head was born lol I hadn't too long been watching ECW back in like right around 96 and I loved it the WWF was amazing but ECW just pushed it to that next level which eventually help them win the Monday night wars.
