-Today, we take a slight turn and look at ECW Super Sumer Sizzler Spectacular from 1993.
-The Super Summer Sizzler Spectacular took place on June 19, 1993 from the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There were 650 people in attendance.
-ECW had its origins in 1990 under the banner Tri-State Wrestling Alliance owned by Joel Goodhart. ECW would, in fact, continue to use the former Tri-State Heavyweight championship belt to represent its own Championship, although the ECW title was not considered a continuation of that title. In 1992, Goodhart sold his share of the company to his partner, Tod Gordon, who renamed the promotion Eastern Championship Wrestling. When Eastern Championship Wrestling was founded, it wasn't a member of the NWA. At the time, Eddie Gilbert, the lead booker of Eastern Championship Wrestling, had managed to secure television time on Sports Channel Philadelphia starting in April 1993. Gilbert, after a falling out with Tod Gordon, was replaced in September 1993 by then-28 year old Paul Heyman. Heyman, known on television as Paul E. Dangerously, had just been fired by WCW and was looking for a new challenge.
-We start out with a TV-MA label. Jay Sulli and Tod Gordon are in front of the ECW Arena with some fans to welcome us. This looks like it was shot with a VHS camera.
