The Hardest ECW Quiz EVER - Test Your Knowledge
Beat this quiz if you can, survive if it lets you!
As beloved as it was despised during its lifespan, Extreme Championship Wrestling was destined to burn out after burning bright, but remains to this day - a quarter of a century after its doors closed for the final time - a promotion that will never not be mythologised.
The evidence is audible. There are still wrestlers or spots that generate an "ECW" chant from audiences thanks to just how indelible the legacy is. As recently as 2024 and 2025, NXT and AEW ran the old ECW Arena on the corner of Swanson and Ritner St and marketed their shows as having that specific hardcore Philadelphia flavour, such was the admiration/adoration for Tod Gordon and Paul Heyman's vision of 1990s wrestling. Through some parts judgment but mostly luck, no other promotion was ever given a red-carpet nostalgia run by a Vince McMahon-led WWE, resulting in a show so utterly brilliant that it resulted in the letters (if not the spirit) being rebooted for a weekly television show years a lot one.
Arriving at a time where wrestling desperately needed its influence and intrigue, ECW was so much more than the weapons-based localised product it was often cast as. Capturing the zeitgeist before WCW could steal the wrestlers and WWE could steal the concepts, the only thing more extreme than the action was the devotion its most ardent supporters felt for it.
