ECW
was a wrestling promotion created in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1992 by Tod Gordon, and closed when his
successor, Paul Heyman, declared bankruptcy in April 2001. WWE bought the
rights to ECW and its video library after its 2001 closure. ECW was the first
of its kind. It was best know for a loyal fan base as well as its tendency to
push the envelope with storylines. The group has showcased many different
styles of professional wrestling, ranging from lucha libre to hardcore
wrestling. Paul Heyman’s goal for ECW was to beat WCW (WCW is now owned by WWE
also). ECW was the first wrestling promotion to do a lesbian storyline in
wrestling (between Beulah and Kimona Wanalaya). You readers may not be
wrestling fans (and I know its fake don’t worry), but ECW really helped the
wrestling business. ECW is now on the Sci Fi Channel (with the help of the
WWE). ECW will never die, because the fans will make it live on!
