>>18192730There is also the fact that most of the 96-97 WWF roster were full of former WCW-ECW guys who left to Vince because the former treated them like garbage the moment the good ol boys were hired and ECW honed their rage at that situation thanks to Heyman.
Even WWF were promoting stone cold's ECW VHS with him ripping hogan and bishoff.
It was Bret and Michaels who began pushing to more crazier stuff even before NWO happened because at that period you had TV shows and movies showing breasts and other shit at prime time on cable, and mostly because everyone at WWF minus vince were even at ECW events and watching the tapes.
ECW had the trash energy old MTV had that everyone loved it.
