WWE ECW

WWE ECW (officially known as simply ECW and colloquially known as Extreme Championship Wrestling, ECW on Sci-Fi or ECW on Syfy, and WWECW, a portmanteau of both "WWE" and "ECW") is an American professional wrestlingtelevision program that was produced by WWE. It aired between June 13, 2006 and February 16, 2010 on Sci-Fi/Syfy. The show was based on the major hardcore independent Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion that had closed down in 2001, and the name also referred to the ECWbrand, in which WWE employees were assigned to work and perform, complementary to WWE's other brands, Raw and SmackDown.
Throughout the shows existence, ECW had been broadcast from over 120 arenas, over 80 cities and towns across four countries: Canada, Italy, United Kingdom and United States. WWE folded the show and the ECW brand overall in 2010, and replaced it the following week on-air with WWE NXT.
