Though ECW only existed for about nine years, its influence, and its cultivation of spectacle, has allowed for perpetual life post-mortem. Whatever wrestling you watch today is likely, in some small way, impacted by Paul Heyman's Extreme ethos. Decades after its demise, Extreme Championship Wrestling continuously finds itself in the contemporary conversations of fans and analysts alike. When one considers the promotion's total history and their defiant approach, that's not at all surprising.

This is The Complete History Of ECW.

These long form documentaries have been incredible. Can’t wait to get your take on ECW! One of my favorite time periods in wrestling.

I was at the last ECW Queens show and got a ride home from the person who stole the belt. I’d known them for a quite a while and they were a lifelong wrestling fan who saw an opportunity while Taz was in the ring talking about security not getting paid, and the locker room was empty, and they took it. Literally. Fun fact about them: Years later they worked in a film with one Phil β€œCM Punk” Brooks. Small world indeed.

Honestly did not know that HBO was thinking about airing ECW. That would've been perfect considering shows like The Sopranos, Oz, The wire, boardwalk empire, true detective, detective,

Blows my mind and warms my Pro Wrestling Fan Heart that shows still take place at the ECW Arena and Hammerstein Ballroom. Bully Ray is correct when he said ECW was to Pro Wrestling, what Napster was to Digital Music.

It's ONLY 2 hours? Y'all are slipping over there. Seriously, thanks for these quality videos. Best wrestling channel on YouTube by far.

Great video . I was at that ill fated first TNN taping in Toledo Ohio .Spike and Balls Mahoney beat the Turkey's for the tag titles. During the taping Paul Heenan was seen yelling at someone at TNN about the production . Another crazy thing to note was the fact that they let the people in first that they gave tickets to before the fans that actually paid for there tickets. The chant we paid money echoed the arena as the crowd filed in.

ECW made their own stars. I had no idea who any of them were. My brother saw a commercial on direct tv. He said..”I think you would like this wrestling. Watched 1 episode and was hooked. Easily as good talent as anywhere. Half the ECW roster are legends now. Great video.

There have been so many retellings of ECW history you can almost begin with the whimsical song lyrics, "Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme..."

Seriously these documentaries are amazing. I hope we see the same for the New Generation Era, Attitude Era, Ruthless Aggression Era, and the PG Era. These are absolute gold and hope they continue.

This was great! Thanks Sam and the whole crew. I knew most of this, but it was great to hear little tidbits like why Benoit is The Crippler, and the origin of the Guerrero frogsplash. Thanks!

I saw ECW at the Rosland Ballroom in NYC in 1997. I live in Connecticut so it's basically a 1 hour train ride away I was 15 years old and the show was absolutely outstanding and completely out of control. I will always love ECW

Got to see a number of shows live at the ECW arena when I was in high school. My older cousin lived in Philly. When I told him all about how much I liked it would would love to see a show, he was like β€œThat place is 15 mins from here” I got yelled at by Terry Funk, saw New Jack get slammed through 3 stacked tables, Taz β€œbreak” Sabus neck, and a bunch of other memorable moments. It was an amazing experience each time.

My years of watching ECW are easily my favorite years as a wrestling fan, and its insane to realize that time was only 2 years long (if that) πŸ˜‚ Great work! Loved every second of it!

Heyman gets credit, rightfully so, for making ECW what it became that so many people enjoyed.
