1994 – Shane Douglas would win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from 2 Cold Scorpio. Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, and Osamu Nishimura would make their ECW debut during the same tournament. At the same event, Cactus Jack (Mick Foley) and Mikey Whipwreck would defeat Public Enemy to win the ECW World Tag Team Championship. At the time of winning the titles, ECW was meaning Eastern Championship Wrestling, which would change it’s name just 6 days later to Extreme Championship Wrestling.

1999 – ECW debuted on TNN and would begin just a 14 month run, when they were cancelled due in part to WWF securing a broadcast contract on TNN. The first episode was a recap episode of ECW history.
