What did they mean by this
Supposedly had a smark audience
Gabriel Anderson
Isaac Mitchell
they just wanted to see blood
Jackson Miller
i don't think ECW had a smarky crowd... the thing is that after its death wrestling crowds (smark crowds) have been trying to emulate the ECW crowd
Oliver Phillips
>the wrestling
when will ya marks learn that successful pro wrestling isn't about ding-dong diddly good wrestling matches
Asher Watson
They knew it was fake so they just wanted to see dudes hurting each other for reals
Charles Brooks

Elijah Garcia

David Roberts

Logan Myers

Zachary Murphy
>the wrestling was shit
No fuck off.
William Thomas
>believing wwe propaganda
ECW first introduced Lucha Libre, Japanese style and about 20 famous technical wrestlers to the US audience. They had Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit wrestle classics while WWF consisted of Doink The Clown, midgets and Diesel.
Nathaniel Harris
They only got those luchadors, japs, and VMs because of Eric Bischoff. So say "thank you, Mr B.".
Kayden Stewart
yeah and corny said it too
Aiden Martinez
>the wrestling was shit
there were some garbage hardcore matches but to say ALL the wrestling was shit is crass.
Jaxon Murphy
bruv, ECW was notoriously the first ever smark crowd. They were tape traders, Observer subscribers and coined so many memorable chants like "You fucked up!"
Jonathan Green
The wrestling wasn't shit though.
Luis Scott
>RVD/Jerry Lynn
The absolute worst matches in ECW history.
If you think the shit on manletlive every week looks choreographed, just wait until you see these to execute 5 minute long sequences of interpretive dance
James Sanders
*death metal voice*
FUCK YOOOOOUUUUU
Aaron Martinez
Smart mark =/= workrate mark.
Easton Russell
Bzump
Aaron Walker
You know wrestling is fake, right?
Tyler Watson
The wrestling was amazing for a brief period before wcw took all the good wrestlers.
Lincoln Green
You have to go back.
Lucas Perry
wrong. the wcw had jap wrestlers wrestling jap style before the ecw
Tyler Anderson
Fuck you faggot
Not even worked
Carson Butler
member Chilly Willy, Da Baldies, Simon Diamond and the musketeer and the woman that could move her tits?
Carson Roberts
Chilly Willy was a jab to Vince's obsession with big roidy muscular men, right?
Dominic Cox
Fuck you Eric, you arrogant bastard!
Oh wait he was merely working me. What a genius.
Evan Lee
1.) Smarks in the 90s were nothing like the smarks today.
2.) You almost had to be a smark to be into ECW up until the last few years because there was no mainstream promotion and the only way to keep up was through dirtsheets, word of mouth, and tape trade.
3.) Heyman went out of his way to do as many worked shoots as possible to kill kayfabe. If you followed ECW, you would learn a ton of insider shit just by the promos.
Robert Wilson
The wrestling wasn't all that bad
Nolan Brown
So are movies. If I see people reading from a script in the middle of a scene, that's a bad movie.
You seem rather stupid.
Jose Johnson
Upper card was shit wrestling. Lower card was full of great workers who came and went. Heyman was willing to bring in foreigners to work a few shows and light up the crowd.
Cooper Rogers
>in the middle of a scene,
...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKIN' SCEEENE! WHAT DON'T YOU GET ABOUT IT?
Austin Miller
>workrate mark can't comprehend characters and storylines being over
Shocking
Mason Scott
lmao that's anyone who ever wanted to make money in the business, not Vince. all the smarks popped huge when Sid showed up
