The Resume

    (August 27, 1994-April 11, 2001)
    Defunct
    Originally called Eastern Championship Wrestling, but changed the name to Extreme Championship Wrestling (1994)
    Extremely aggressive wrestling company
    Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Why ECW - Extreme Championship Wrestling might be annoying:

    The wrestling was very violent.
    It encouraged violence, nudity, profanity and beer drinking.
    The fans were blood thirsty and just wanted to see people get the living daylights beaten out of them.
    Wrestlers would do promos singling out fans and bashing them.
    Fans would yell 'SHOW YOUR TITS' to good-looking girls in the audience.
    The company would constantly bash its competition on the air.
    Their security guards would be very rude to the fans and would ruin everybody’s good time.
    Most of their valets were rude to the fans and would rarely sign autographs.
    They had a national TV deal with TNN that turned out to be disastrous, as the station completely watered down the product by eliminating the violence and raunchiness that made it unique from the other wrestling companies.
    The poor results of the TV show led to the company filing for bankruptcy, having liabilities of $8,881,435.17 (2001).

Why ECW - Extreme Championship Wrestling might not be annoying:

    They started out as a small, rinky dink company that turned into a major player, known as 'the little wrestling company that could.'
    ECW is easily the greatest Independent wrestling company ever.
    They had a wide variety of wrestling, from technical to luchadore to violent hard-core.
    Its fans were passionate toward the company and respected all the wrestler's talents.
    The fans were so grateful to the talent that whenever a wrestler was wrestling his last match for the company before leaving for another company, the fans would cheer and thank them for all they have done for ECW.
    A huge reason for their success was that they were the little guys, different from the biggies, WCW and WWF.
    Paul Heyman, the owner and booker of the company, was able to get wrestlers that WWF and WCW couldn’t.
    They were the first American wrestling company that could get recognition for wrestlers from Japan and Mexico without latino or asian fans.
    Live ECW shows were always a blast and fans raved about the shows, saying that ECW put on the best live events.
    Their style was so popular that the WWF and WCW would copy their way of doing things and signed away some of their top wrestlers.
