• The Final ECW Event Took Place 20 Years Ago
On this day in 2001, Paul Heyman’s Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion hosted its final event ever, before it closed its doors and was sold to Vince McMahon.
While a lot of big names had already left ECW for WWF or WCW at that point in time, they still had a few ECW Veterans on the card that night, like The Sandman & Tommy Dreamer.
Here’s the card:
– Prodigy Tom Marquez vs. Nova
– Christian York & Joey Matthews vs. Hot Commodity
– Jack Victory vs. C.W. Anderson
– Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Super Crazy
– ECW World Title: Rhino vs. Spike Dudley

– Justin Credible vs. The Sandman
– Impromptu rematch: Justin Credible vs. The Sandman
– All the wrestlers say goodbye in the ring
