NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling
ECW was founded within 1992, under the title Eastern Championship Wrestling, & upon its foundation, it was the member of the National Wrestling Alliance. Fallowing creator Todd Gordon had a badness falling retired by owning head booker Eddie Gilbert, Gordon called upon Paul Heyman. Gordon known as Heyman because Heyman was Eddie Gilbert's nearest intimate. Gordon precious Heyman to help him book the large indicate known as ''Ultra Clash '93'' (in September 18, 1993) at the ECW Arena in Philadelphia.

Paul Heyman felt that mainstream agency wrestling got get such as a hair bands. Whilst ECW was diversify, sales person grappler experienced far extra cartoonish gimmicks. A product was marketed further towards toddlers than a 18-35 male demographic that ECW was aiming towards. There were as well far extra taboos such as blood-letting and women getting regularly beaten higher per male matman. Heyman saw ECW when a sales person wrestling same to Nirvana.

Within 1994, Jim Crockett's non-compete agreement with Ted Turner, who purchased WCW from Crockett in 1988, was up & he decided to begin promoting using a NWA over again. Then Crockett attend Todd Gordon & ask him to hang on to the tournament for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at the ECW Arena in August 27, 1994. NWA President Dennis Coralluzzo thought that Crockett & Gordon were attend try to monopolize a title (great deal rather Crockett did in the 1980s) and told the children it didn't stand a NWA board's approval then he took control all over a tournament. Gordon was upset at Coralluzzo for his power plays then Gordon & Shane Douglas, who was booked to win a title against 2 Cold Scorpio, planned to have Douglas throw a title down when he won it & break ECW from either a NWA. Inside the currently classic post-match speech, Shane Douglas said that he didn't want to be the a portion of an organization that "died" septet years earliest (presumptively while Jim Crockett Promotions itself broke out of a NWA to get WCW).

When ECW withdrew from either either a NWA & officially changed its title from Eastern Championship Wrestling to Extreme Championship Wrestling, it became an underground sensation. A class action would showcase several different styles of broker wrestling, popularizing all-fired hardcore wrestling matches and a 3-Way Dance. ECW was universally arranged to exist as counter-culture and a grittier choice to multi-million dollar organizations like WWF and WCW. Grappler like Shane Douglas, Tommy Dreamer, the Sandman, Cactus Jack, Terry Funk, Sabu, Public Enemy and a Tasmaniac helped launch the recently ECW at this period.

History
Fallowing noticing ECW's growing popularity, a "Big Two" (WCW & the WWF) began adopting their ideas and hiring away their talent. Paul Heyman believes that ECW was a number one victim of the "Monday Night War" between WCW Monday Nitro and Monday Night RAW. Piece the WWF got somewhat of a working relationship sustaining ECW (running when far when letting cross-promotional storylines), WCW refused to even mention ECW by title, calling it "barbed wire city" & "a major independent promotion" that wrestled in beano halls.

Vince McMahon claims that he put Paul Heyman on the WWF's payroll when compensation for the talent (videlicet Taz, Steve Austin, Mick Foley, and The Dudleys) leaving ECW for the WWF. Then again, Heyman believes that Eric Bischoff never compensated him for ECW bred talent such as Mikey Whipwreck, Raven, Sandman, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, Steven Richards, Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and Rocco Rock) and Chris Jericho leaving to go to WCW.

Kurt Angle was at a ECW Arena the nighttime that Sandman was "crucified." Angle, world health organization was recently remove of his 1996 Summer Olympic gold medal win was bring back ECW by Taz. Angle claims that he was and so disgusted per incident that he told Paul Heyman that in case his title or even image was seen on the equivalent TV program as a crucifixion, Heyman, world health organization told Angle that he was unaware of what Corvus corax was attend run, would become hearing from either Angle's lawyer.

When a intermission, Corvus corax experienced to are back out & apologize to anyone world health organization was offended by his usage of religious iconography. At long last, a crucifixion incident was never televised because of the nature and severity of the imagination included in it was deemed as well controversial.

Jerry Lawler himself wwhen non the fan of ECW, & possibly went when far as dubbing ECW "Extremely Crappy Wrestling." Lawler was upset at McMahon for generating "valuable airtime" to one of their challenger.

A Manhattan Center around New York was peppered with a big total of ECW fans, world health organization gave the WWF matman "BO-RING" chants while it felt it was warranted. Also, after a ECW performing artist arrived, it popped and introduced the WWF Monday nighttime audience to a few trademark ECW class action chants.

Perchance the virtually all memorable moment from either a ECW/RAW cross-above episode taking part Sabu executing a plancha onto "Team Taz" from either atop a jumbo "R" in the word Birthday suit that decorated a matman's entrance. An additional memorable moment exposed so ECW Tag Team Champions The Eliminators—Perry Saturn and John Kronus—delivering their finisher Total Elimination (two coincidental spin kicks - 1 ingesting out the legs, a more hit a chest) to a pitiable ring attendant. Paul Heyman so entered a ring & told Vince McMahon & Jerry Lawler that their "challenge has been accepted."

At a 1997 Wrestlepalooza event, Jerry Lawler made a surprise appearance at the ECW Arena. ''Wrestlepalooza '97'' featured Corvus corax's final ECW match prior to allowing for WCW. In that match, Tommy Dreamer eventually beat his long instance nemesis Corvus corax.

Viewer's Guide relented fallowing fans repeatedly known as & mailed Viewer's Selection demanding that ECW would make their way the PPV. Viewer's Guide agreed to give ECW a pay-by the-learn from under the problem that it air at 9:00 p.m. like than a common 8:00 p.m. slot.

Mass Transit
In Christmas Eve, 1996, ECW almost misplaced a risk at incurring the PPV due to the blackball publicity surrounding the Mass Transit Incident. Mass Transit was the wrestling title of a 17 month old known as Eric Kulas. ECW held the house show in Revere, Massachusetts on November 23, 1996. Kulas asked Paul Heyman whenever he may fill around for Axl Rotten, who was scheduled to tag by having D-Von Dudley, in a match against the Gangstas, New Jack and Mustapha Saed. A condition was that Kulas experienced got little to there are no last expert training videos, eventually insisted that Killer Kowalski had trained him. He besides lied to Heyman all about his age (claiming that he was Xix) & falsified his documentation. His father too vouched for him.

Prior to a match Kulas asked Just released Jack to blade him since he never had make love himself & Up to date Jack agreed. Future Jack cut Kulas' forehead as well deeply sustaining an exacto knife & cut off ii arteries inside Kulas' forehead. Kulwhen finally passed out as a blood was spraying away from his head. Kulas' personal sued ECW & Just released Jack above a incident, however a jury acquitted Future Jack & ECW. Kulas passed away in May 12, 2002 at the age of Xxii due to complications from either stomachic bypass surgery.

Before long fallowing a Barely Legal PPV, Todd Gordon sold ECW to Paul Heyman. It would so broadcast bi-monthly in PPV. Gordon was continue as a figurehead commissioner. Gordon was at last fired or even resigned (at least based on data from a storyline) due to continuing rumors that he got been working as a "locker room mole", world health organization was portion WCW assure ECW talent.

Finally, Paul Heyman was within the run of suing WCW for the breach of contract of Corvus corax world health organization experienced joined WCW in June 1997. Heyman though, didn't own a legal power & finances therefore he dropped a example awhile & it was never picked higher once more.

The Mike Awesome Title Controversy
In September 19, 1999 at the Anarchy System pay-per-view, in Villa Park, IL Mike Awesome defeated Taz and Masato Tanaka in a 3-Way Dance to win the ECW World Heavyweight Title.

Mike Awesome would hang in to on to the title until December 13, 1999 when he wasted to Masato Tanaka. Ten years late though, Awesome would regain a title from either Tanaka.

Within March 2000, Awesome suddenly left ECW to join WCW even though he was however a regnant ECW Globe Heavyweight Champion. This led to threats of legal action from either ECW, thus Awesome agreed to go to to ECW to drop a title to 'anyone'. This would install inside of the virtually all unique matches in agency wrestling history. It marked the lone period that the WCW contracted matman (Mike Awesome) would wrestle against a WWF contracted grappler (Taz) inside an ECW sanctioned event.

A historic match between Mike Awesome & Taz took place around Indianapolis, Indiana on April 13, 2000. Around the ternary microscopic hanker match, Tommy Dreamer hit the ring to give Awesome a DDT (in revenge for an angle where Awesome tried to collect a bounty in Dreamer) & Taz below it higher by using the Tazmission for the win. Taz so took a mike & explained that he come back because while he left he did business "the right way" & that he upright showed Awesome decently by making him tap out. Awful entered & deceased a arena through a crowd, to refrain from the tense ECW locker room.

At a actual event, Mike Awesome never come to the back. He stayed at his hotel by owning WCW security chief Doug Dillenger & many officer until a match was to lead off. He showed higher at a building Quarter-hour prior to a match, went within, misplaced, & went back out through the crowd & left. 100% call for between Awesome & ECW for the purposes of this match was done on top cell phones.

XPW
Around 2000, ECW decided to promote the PPV inside Los Angeles. It was the number 1 instance that ECW tried to stage a West Coast event. Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW) soon began to produce statements that ECW get on their "turf" & that it would disrupt ECW's coming PPV. ECW was ingesting large fiscal risks by promoting the indicate inside California & felt that XPW was upright a little indy fed (even though ECW fundamentally began retired a equivalent way) world health organization was trying to make their way themselves complete at ECW's expense. Therefore whenever XPW grappler showed higher at a PPV, ECW was quick for the babies.

When a PPV was starting, XPW grappler manufactured their way to the front row in which it managed for tickets for. When you took a PPV, it bore XPW shirts & shouted at a matman. Items alas had as well good whilst one of XPW's man, Kristi Myst, pushed ECW's Francine (Several eyewitnesses claim that Myst grabbed one of Francine's breasts). Chaos immediately ensued as a bunch of ECW matman ran down to ringside seat & began fighting by using a XPW grappler. the fight continued all a way into a park within which a ECW guys defeated the XPW roll in a street fight.

A whole confrontation didn't assist XPW though since virtually all of the fans didn't underst& what was running in and a entire fight was non caught per cameras. Virtually all fans besides believe that ECW did what it got to run & XPW was way away from line originally & shouldn't keep close at hand been there. a week fallowing the fight took place XPW creator Rob Black started making statements about how else the ECW performing artist double-teamed his XPW performing artist & potentially went when far when beating higher a woman & little one. These claims come thought to become traitorously though since a woman & little one around wonder never come intent on confirm a claim.

TNN
Prior to ECW had the national television treat, its independent sources of exposure were on the Sports Channel Usa syndication package, on Own satellite, a Internet and tape trading. ECW would reguarly hang on to the convention known as Cyber Slam, in which matches were broadcast across a Internet & fans can chat on a net by owning the grappler themselves.

Around August 1999, ECW began to broadcast nationally on TNN; however, this signalled a beginning of the prevent. TNN didn't give ECW lot money to develop their program, however required ECW to keep close at hand high-quality production values prefer WCW Monday Nitro and Monday Night RAW. This was the condition inside itself because Paul Heyman didn't obviously vary a look or even compromise a integrity of the ECW brand anyway. Too, TNN badly advertised & promoted ECW -- there were barely any handout or even television ads. A lone period that TNN actually advertised ECW was in a period of the ECW program itself.

TNN besides censored much of a program possibly though the violence & raunchiness were what manufactured ECW and then unique in the number 1 place. TNN didn't need the theme song -- which was the a combination of Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" (the heartbeat that spells out E-X-T-R-E-M-E) & White Zombie's "Thunderkiss '65" -- because according to Paul Heyman, it sounded "too demonic." TNN besides didn't need any information to "hate" (it favorite "intense dislike") & cherished there are no music videos on the ECW program. In a period of the number one edition of ECW in TNN, Paul Heyman was and so unsatisfied by using the shoot that he did for TNN that he instead showed the replay of a match between Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn from the 1999 Hardcore Heaven pay-per-review.

Paul Heyman wwhen thus frustrated by using the way TNN treated ECW that he went when far as cutting a shoot promo and addressed his utter hate for even TNN (or "The Network" when Heyman known as it in television). Heyman believed that TNN utilized ECW when only the guinea pig to see whenever agent wrestling can operate on the network.

Heyman decided to recruit Don Callis, who played a section of Cyrus, to serve as an onscreen metaphor for the real problems between ECW & TNN at that point. Callis played the representative for TNN/The Network, who constantly critizised a violent nature and severity of ECW programming.

Potentially though ECW became TNN's greatest rated indicate, TNN was at a period of Heyman's "shoot" publicly negotiating sustaining Vince McMahon's WWF product. ECW in TNN was cancelled around October 2000 in favor of RAW jumping over to the network.

To this day, Paul Heyman strongly believes that a deficiency of a national television treat (especially fallowing a TNN test) was the independent drive of ECW's death.

Bankruptcy
ECW struggled for months fallowing the cancellation, trying to assure a freshly national TV treat, however may not. Despite support from either a WWF, Heyman may not acquire away from fiscal pain & filed for bankruptcy on April 4, 2001.

A company wwhen used as getting plus totaling $1,385,500. Involved around this total was $860,000 Around accounts receivable owed a company by In Require Network (PPV), Acclaim (video games), and Original San Francisco Toy Company (action figures). the balance of a plus were the streaming tape library ($500,000), a 1998 Ford Truck ($19,500) and a leftover inventory of ware ($4,000).

A bankruptcy filing involved hundreds of claims, including productiin corporations, buildings ECW ran around, TV stations ECW was televised on, travel agents, phone service, lawyer's fees, matman, & more talent. Matman & talent were utilized, using numbers owed ranging from either $0 for Sabu & Steve Corino to hundreds, & inside a select few legal actions, hundreds to thousands of dollars. A greatest numbers owed to talents come Rob Van Dam ($150,000), Tommy Dreamer ($100,000), Joey Styles ($50,480), Shane Douglas ($48,000) and Francine ($47,275).

ECW in WWF
The Alliance
Shortly fallowing ECW closed, Heyman was hired per WWF as an in-air character & writer. When you took The Invasion, the previous ECW grappler "reformed" ECW by using a plot line existence Stephanie McMahon as the creator. Along by using a WCW (by having Shane McMahon being the creator) it joined together to form The Alliance. Heyman & Stephanie McMahon brought together a Dudley Boys, Tazz, Rob Van Dam, and Tommy Dreamer among others.

Throughout a summertime & f100% of 2001, a Alliance & WWF fought back & forth withinside battles culminating in a Winner Choose All Match at the 2001 Survivor Series. The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin were the left survivors for their teams. A Alliance wasted, when A Rock pinned Steve Austin, meaning their faction had to disband.

A Alliance plot line was heavy critizied by fans. In a period of a plot line, the WWF mass produced everthing of their have matman look immensely superior to the ECW & WCW grappler, which diminished people grappler' credibleness.

The Rise and Fall of ECW

Around Summer 2003, WWE purchased ECW's assets inside bankruptcy court, getting a rights to ECW's streaming library.
