10 Things You Should Miss About ECW
5. Tables Being On The Endangered Species List
In the WWE, tables get their very own pay-per-view, as one third of TLC (Tables, Ladders, and Chairs). In ECW, wrecking a good half dozen tables or more (sometimes in a single bout, or even spot), was known as "just another day at the office."
This kind of carnage takes a toll on the workers (though it does keep table makers employed), but then, no one ever claimed that ECW was for the faint of heart.
How important were tables to ECW? That's a good question. It's arguable that without them, the promotion - and a couple of its biggest stars, the Dudley Boyz (and the Dudley family as a whole) - would never have been as big without them.
Do you really want to imagine a world without those two moving on to the WWE and without Buh-Buh Ray (by then Bubba Ray) yelling out "D-Von, get the tables!" in it? No. So you have ECW and many of its insane table spots to thank!
While the odd person is still put through a table in WWE, it's just not the same as seeing tables stacked on tables.
