20 ECW Easter Eggs, References And In-Jokes You Never Noticed
10. Cactus Jack Signs With The "WW F'N F"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kIicuwCpy8 By 1995, Mick Foley's run in ECW as Cactus Jack was coming to a close, and the heel heat surrounding Cactus "selling out" was at an all-time high. Not one to back down from derision, one of Cactus' most entertaining moves was to wrestle with an airbrushed t-shirt mocking ECW's "EC F'N W" t-shirt. Talking about potential matches with the likes of Mabel and the Smoking Gunns in promos, he appealed to Vince McMahon for assistance in a match with Shane Douglas. Likely much funnier than the time Cactus wrestled in a shirt putting over his love of Eric Bschoff and WCW's Faces of Fear stable, it's moments like these that showed Mick Foley's growing savvy in understanding the mindset of the Attitude Era wrestling fanatic.
