The Rise & Fall of ECW2004

Al Snow:
The best thing for me about ECW was I found Head. 'Cause, you know, due to the grace of God and a plastic head, I'm here today. If I hadn't found that head and if I hadn't had the opportunity that Paul Heyman and ECW had given me, I really don't know where my career would have ended up. I honestly don't. And for that, I owe Paul E. no end of an amount of thanks. And to ECW and those fans.

Paul Heyman:
We were in the right place at the right time in front of the right audience that wanted something different.

Al Snow:
Came backstage one night at the ECW arena, um... where, uh... a lot of people don't realize that that's a bingo hall, but also on the other side they build the floats for the Mummer's Day parades. And... I was just rummaging around in the junk and we were taking a picture for the- a Japanese magazine and I picked up a styrofoam head, um... and I thought "Well," you know, I remembered back to a car ride that Mick and, uh, Sid Vicious and Bob Holly and I had where Mick was kind of fooling around with a styrofoam head that he had for his Mankind mask. And he was acting like it was his girlfriend. And I thought "I've been talking to myself but nobody's been getting it. I'll take this to the ring and I'll talk to it like it's a human being." And that was where the Head gimmick started, there in ECW.
