But Heyman isnt talking about the up & comers, he's talking about the guys who have been around for years.

ECW was a young upstart company full of young upstarts, so is it any wonder that shot on WWF/WCW?
It was only when guys older guys like 2 Cold Scorpio, who had long since hit his peak, that ECW could be seen as being the same as TNA!

ECW could not afford big names, unlike TNA, so for it to take shots at the big two is kinda understandable, but for TNA, Paul is saying that the likes of The Dudleys should concentrate on proving WWE wrong for dropping them, rather than constantly harp on about how they were shit on!

TNA is trying to set itself up as direct competition for WWE, I dont believe Heyman ever deluded himself that ECW could do that, hence his acceptance of aid from Mahon!

If the anti-WWF comments were 100% real for ECW, Heyman & Mahon would never have done business!
The anti-WWE comments from TNA are 100% real!
