A Documentary About Extreme Championship Wrestling


ECW, ECW, ECW! That chant still holds something something to us at Atomic Leg Drop. The mere mention of it brings back that feeling of just seen something you have never seen before. ECW was extreme, revolutionary and the alternative to the big two.

Two film makers, Kevin Kiernan and John Philapavage, have started a KickStarter project to get their documentry of ECW released. Watched the trailer and it looks awesome. The footage is from the 90s all the way up until today including footage from the Extreme Renuion show in Philadelphia. Raven, Sandman, Balls Mahoney, Shane Douglas and more favorites are showcased. In the write up we didn't see two notable names, Sabu or Paul Heyman. If these guys aren't in the film, that would be a little disappointing.

These guys have over 50 hours of wrestling footage and interviews so this should cover some great stuff. If you have any sort of fond memories of ECW (prior to it being bought by the WWE), this seems like a must watch. And it looks like it will happen as they seem to have hit their goal on KickStarter. looks like if you still want to donate, you can get in on some pretty cool swag.
