6.2. Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW)

ECW began operating in 1992 as Eastern Championship Wrestling. In
August, 1994, the name was changed from Eastern to Extreme. It
operates in Philadelphia, with spot shows in the surrounding
Pennsylvania area. The wrestling operations are currently handled
by Tod Gordon (who also finances the promotion) and Paul Heyman
(manager Paul E Dangerously) It is currently available on the
Sports Channel America syndication package and on AIN satellite.
Current top stars are Shane Douglas, 2 Cold Scorpio and more. ECW
does not rely on the traditional face/heel structure. Instead,
uses high-impact, fast paced action to get its wrestlers over.

Regular ECW reports and updates are posted by Tom Misnik (Mr.
ECW), MadDogJMF and Dave Scherer. Ed Zohn, an ECW promoter, is
also a member of the net. The fans who attend live shows
regularly and participate on the net are too numerous to list.

Additionaly, ECW maintains it's own WWW site at:
