Wrong[edit]

Wikipedia: WCW refused to even mention ECW by name (the sole exception being a passing remark by Scott Hall in late 1996), calling it "barbed wire city" and "a major independent promotion" that wrestled in bingo halls.

Announcers on Nitro 4/10/00: That is Mike Awesome. He's the heavyweight champion of ECW.

Paragraph dedicated to XPW[edit]

@Mt.FijiBoiz: I don't agree with restoring the paragraph about XPW at Heatwave 2000; I purposefully cut it as I believe it's entirely too much text to what in the scale of things was a minor instance. While XPW and ECW disliked each other, Heatwave 2000 was functionally the only actual interaction they ever had. I believe the paragraph should be either cut entirely or reduced to just a few sentences, and I believe the heading "promotional rivalry" should certainly be dropped.

The XPW section has long been included in the article and it's mass removal was done with any previous explanation, so I re-added it. But reading your explanation here, I somewhat agree. The previous description of a "promotional rivalry" does not seem to accurately describe the incident. I think the paragraph should be moved to the newly created Controversies section.
