ECW, was also not so well known worldwide. I can bet you that more people in the world have heard of Martel than Shane Douglas! Any top 50/100/1000/whatever has got to take into consideration the global impact rather than just the US. And lets face it, even in the US, with the whole terratories thing, just cause a guy was big in the southern terratories, doesnt mean those in the mid west even knew them!
Even as someone who was never into old school WWF, I can honestly say Martel was a name I knew long before I ever heard of Shane Douglas!
I'd easily prefer to watch old school ECW over old school WWF (WCW is a different story), but even I have to aknowledge WWF was the real proving ground as to whether you have made it or not!
