10 Things You Should Miss About ECW

8. Joey Styles Screaming "Oh My God!"

Joey Styles trademark "Oh My God!" catchphrase may run afoul of the WWE's recently leaked rules and suggestions for announcers, but it's still a greatly missed highlight from a bygone era.

Styles was great not because of his technical abilities as an announcer - which isn't to say he wasn't a good announcer, mind you - but because of this enthusiasm. Styles made it seem like he was just another fan. When you watched the show, and took in his commentary, you were seeing professional wrestling through the eyes, and in the words, of a fellow fan.

Jim Ross had a similar ability while being more of a traditional announcer; Styles, meanwhile, was almost perfectly suited to ECW. And it's his enthusiasm and love of the action that you miss.
