What Happened To EVERY ECW Champion?
Спорт
Including the disappointing WWE version of ECW (WWECW), 32 men held the promotions top gold in its lifespan. From ECW icons like Raven and Rob Van Dam, to definitely-not-ECW-icons like Ezekiel Jackson and Jack Swagger, we look back at the title's lineage and find out what happened to every ECW World Champion.

This was recorded before it was announced John Morrison was returning to WWE, so if you're unaware, JOHN MORRISON IS RETURNING TO WWE.

Yes he was, and the last ECW Television champion as well, making him a dual champion. WWE tried to bring Rhino or Rhyno back to put the new ECW championship on him, but Rhino turned it down and remained in TNA instead. I don't know why the WWE didn't bring back the ECW TV title or the tag team titles, last held by Danny Doring and Amish Roadkill before the original ECW folded.

@@harleyfenner1926 because they really didnt care about the brand, look at the rosters actual size of the roster, 11 male wrestlers. Instead of calling up from ovw or bringing back more talent from ecw. Look at December to Dismember. 14 male and female wrestlers were on the brand (not including the hardyz, mnm and khali). Those who turned down going there knew it would be a bad move

Big Show was also build as the only man to have been WCW, WWE and ECW Champion.

Give me Pacittis What happened to that Wrestler intro and i am a happy man for the rest of the day
Crazy how many of these guys are in AEW right now. Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, Swagger, Christian, Chavo Guerero.
Now make a worst to best ECW champion list
Might as well do a ranking video too. Those are always fun
Sabu was underrated as hell
Also about Don Muraco, he started a wrestling promotion called Hawaii Championship Wrestling. Within I think 2 years it was shut down and now on occasion is a guest commentator for a new promotion called Unify Championship Entertainment
5:46 The worst picture of Bam Bam, I've ever seen!
I come for the intro. I stay to get the cat excited.
Ezekiel Jacksons run in Lucha Underground was great and it wasnt even mentioned. Smh my head
Can't get enough of the theme !
Chris candido?? He was underrated
WWE sadly lost Mean Gene this year
I'm beginning to notice a trend of still living people in these lists of Hosting Podcasts.
Christian is also currently a judge on a show about knight fights
The Big Show winning the ECW championship wasn't a terrible idea on paper. The potential of a MASSIVE giant chucking people through tables, hucking steel steps at people, and destroying people with a single massive chair shot, all while tanking Singapore canes, steel chairs baseball bats and more is definitely a great idea. Which is why I wish he won it in the original extreme incarnation. Just imagine him doing that when he was leaner and more athletic. But of course when he did win the title it wasn't well timed or executed.
BEST. INTRO. EVER. PERIOD!
Corino also had a great run in Japan after ECW in Zero One and Hustle.
Matt Hardy's retirement will never happen. The recent Free the Delete videos he's uploaded to his page are absolutely WONDERFUL!
I love the intro
I just saw an Indie card last week advertising Sabu headlining the show sometime in January.
Ok... “What happened to that Wrestler” is a SMASH hit. We’re all thinking it. HILARIOUS! Thanks guys!
That was the absolute best cover song I've ever heard in my entire life
Because of this video, I now know that Ezekiel Jackson works just down the street from me. That makes me happy!
Adam forgot about Steve Corino’s run in MLW as a part of the Extreme Horsemen, if you don’t believe me, check out MLW War Games Extreme Horsemen vs the Funkin’ Army

After the first botched year the WWECW brand was putting on some of the best matches out of the 3 brands. When you had a roster consisting of Morrison, The Miz, Seamus, Matt Hardy, Christian, Dreamer, Punk, and a revitalized Goldust you had a recipe for some damn fine wrestling. It was basically a proto NXT and it deserved far more love than it got.
good video

Surely big show held the big 3 titles before Kane? Or are you classing the wcw title not the same as world heavyweight?
I stopped it at Rhino, he was the last ECW Champ.
So in the original ECW days none of the ECW champions ever became WWE champion interesting but in the ECW revival we saw 8 superstars who won the WWE or world title also win the ECW title well then that's definitely the highlight of the ECW revival
What happened to that wrestler for the entire roster of the PS2 games legends of wrestling 2.
It was nice that WWE ECW finally let RVD hold the belt, even if it was just for a little bit.

IMO the best ECW Champions in WWE were Christian, Matt Hardy, RVD, CM Punk and Tommy Dreamer.
Steve Corino had the best chase to the ECW championship
I always hated the fact they had Christian drop the belt in that last match. Why tarnish his legacy like that? The brand was dead there was no point in crowning a new champion.
Tito Santana was the man. Glad he is doing well.
