Um, sure ECW initials mean something, but they don't mean hardcore wrestling, and least not entirely.  Does the name Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio Jr, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrerro, Chris Jericho.... I could go on and on and on mean anything to ya?  ECW was more then hardcore wrestling, it was the innovator of everything we see on TV today.  Not taking away anything from XPW, because it was great.  But it was almost EXCLUSIVELY hardcore garbage wrestling.  ECW wasn't.
