10 Things You Need To Know About The Original ECW Invasion

10. The Whispers Of Extreme

1995€™s King of the Ring is considered one of the worst pay-per-view events the WWE has ever produced. Lackluster and gimmicky matches with poor booking decisions was an unfortunate statement as to how far down professional wrestling had fallen creatively. The KOTR tournament usually produced great matches, but this time, it was riddled with bad matches, convoluted storytelling and poor finishes. Mable wrestled Savio Vega in the finals, and drew a chorus of boos during and after the match when Mable was declared the winner and crowned king. However, there was a particular chant emanating from the live Philadelphia audience that became the real story with insiders and diehard fans. Loud €œECW€ chants could be heard during the match. Fans who only watched WWE had no idea what they were chanting or what €œECW€ meant. On commentary, Vince McMahon acknowledged the chants, believing it was a positive reaction for Savio Vega. Once he figured out what was really going on, the microphones in the crowd were turned down immediately. This isn't the most significant thing to ever occur on a wrestling show. However, fans voiced their displeasure at a product by echoing the name of another company that succeeded where WWE failed in giving them content that didn't insult their intelligence.
