THE RISE AND FALL OF ECW: Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) was a revolutionary force in the world of professional wrestling throughout the 1990s. Formed in 1992 by owner Tod Gordon, ECW originally belonged to the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) but withdrew after eclipsing the staid matches of rival members World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Although it amassed a huge cult following with a no-holds-barred style of fighting that included barbed-wire cages and other forms of bloody combat, ECW's success began to dwindle after the WWF and WCW adopted its hardcore format, draining the group's base audience and forcing it into bankruptcy in 2001. Through interviews and archival clips of classic matches featuring Raven, the Pit Bulls, Stevie Richards, Tommy Dreamer, and many more, this documentary chronicles the rise and fall of the company that broke new ground in the field of sports entertainment.
ECW - ONE NIGHT STAND: Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) presents another round of hardcore competition in the no-holds-barred extravaganza ONE NIGHT STAND. Recorded live in New York City, the jam-packed event features highly anticipated meetings between the stars of ECW, RAW, and SMACKDOWN in five electrifying matches: Lance Storm versus Chris Jericho; a luchador match between Rey Mysterio and Psichosis; another luchador battle pitting Tajiri and Sinister Minister against Little Guido; Eddie Guerrero versus Chris Benoit; and a tag-team match featuring Tommy Breamer and the Sandman against Bubba and D-Von Dudley. ONE NIGHT STAND also includes appearances by Paul Heyman, Spike Dudley, Tazz, Al Snow with Head, Dawn Marie, Sabu, Balls Maloney, Danny Doring and Roadkill, CW Anderson, Rhyno, Joel Gertner, Axl Rotten, Justin Credible, Kid Kash, Masato Tanaka, Mikey Whipwreck, Big Stevie Cool, Hollywood Nova, the Blue Guy, and the return of Rob Van Dam with Bill Alfonso.
