ECW Wrestling: Extreme Evolution

ECW or Extreme Championship Wrestling was a professional wrestling promotion that was originated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1992 by Tom Gordon. The promotion functioned until the year 2001, when his successor, Paul Heyman, declared bankruptcy.

The company became popular due to its loyal fan base and its tendency to push the envelope with storylines. The group has shown many different styles of professional wrestling, from lucha libre to hardcore wrestling.

The rights to ECW and its library were purchased by World Wrestling Entertainment after its closure. So, WWE revived the promotion in a full-time fashion in June 2006 with a weekly TV series in the United States, UK and Australia.

In 2005 and 2006, WWE promoted an ECW-brand event – ECW One Night Stand, and in June 2006 it became a separate brand of WWE programming. So, it took WWE almost a year to promote ECW after the start-over.

Now, WWE can use ECW to give its developmental wrestlers experience in front of larger audience. In particular, C.M. Punk could become a big star in the new ECW. This time, the WWE should stick with ECW, even if ratings get off to a slow start. With a little patience, the WWE could create a new generation of fans who will glorify ECW for another 10 years. Divas of ECW Wrestling

Although Extreme Championship itself is regarded as a phenomenon, a little more is even better. So the stage was set for the ECW girls to shine on. A vivid example is Kelly Kelly, who began striptease sessions for the audience that took part every week. Kelly Kelly was later joined by ECW divas Layla El and Brooke Adams.

The event was named Extreme Expose and the divas' dance troupe now performs on a weekly basis. A different song every week and a different costume as well – that is how the event goes on. In April 2007 the three along with Torrie Wilson, Ashley, and Maryse filmed the music video of Throw It On Me by Timbaland, making a sensation and bringing a large chunk to Extreme Championship Wrestling ring.
