Madusa in WCW in early 90s showed quite a lot of skin.
And then there's Missy Hyatt.
People like to believe that ECW were "pioneers", but that's often wishful thinking.
Some people have even convinced themselves that Cactus Jack began in ECW.
Or that ECW created triple-threat matches.

Quoted from: Daniel, April 25th, 2024 10:38 GMTQuoted from: PeteF3, April 25th, 2024 06:43 GMTShane and Russo were both openly advocating that the WWF imitate ECW. And I dunno if Bruce Prichard was actively watching ECW but he and Heyman were friends before they were directly involved in wrestling.
Sorry, not true.
Russo was getting his inspiration from popular culture. Like I said, Stern, Springer, South Park, Seinfeld.
As an example, on Seinfeld got someone else's license that said "Assman". Next thing Billy Gunn is The Assman in WWF.
On an episode of The Jerry Springer Show, Jerry was talking to a pimp who was full of himself, and talking about hos. When Springer asked him about his job choice the guy replied "Pimpin ain't easy". Soon after that Kama Mustafa got a new gimmick.
I'm glad that Russo didn't try to make an angle out out of the Seinfeld episode The Contest.

ECW was not an influence on Russo-Era WWF. Despite what some people would like to believe. Who was ECW's version of The Rock, as just one example?
New Jack

I don't see any resemblance between New Jack and the Rock at all. Not in terms of gimmick, look, ring style, or interview style. Like I said, Scorpio was much more similar.
