I was there, attending my first & only ECW show. Two vivid memories: 1) RVD debuted his Van Terminator move (aka Coast-to-Coast kick); and 2) workers from Rob Black's XPW had front-row seats. During the main event, ECW's crew poured out of the locker room and fought XPW's guys into the parking lot.
