A Deep Dive into Extreme Championship Wrestling

ECW, as most know it, sprung out onto the scene in 1992, yanking the world of professional wrestling from its previously tried-and-true concepts. Picture this: you switch on your TV one day expecting to see trademark wrestling moves - body slams, powerbombs and perhaps an occasional steel chair hit or two if things get spicy. But instead, what meets your eye is a surge of wrestlers diving off balconies! Wrestlers wrapping themselves up with barbed wires for matches! We're talking extreme in every sense.
'So couldn't regulators step in?', I hear you asking yourself. Well here's the twist - ECW cleverly operated under 'bingo hall venues', thereby bypassing athletic commission regulations."
This was certainly not wrestling as our grandparents knew it!
In addition to being considered pioneers who pushed boundaries in televised pro-wrestling content throughout the late ’90s, ECW also presented itself as a hardcore alternative among fans looking for something grittier.
