The WWE Vault's YouTube channel has done it again!!! Whilst WWE's relaunch of ECW, in 2006, was considered a huge failure, by fans of the original, the first few months of the brand did have a few positives within it. One of those was the ECW brand's return to the originals home of Philadelphia or, more specifically, the 'ECW Arena'!!! On June 24th, 2006, the building, on South Swanson Street, once again reverted back to the 'ECW Arena' by actually hosting an ECW branded event!!! Featuring a mix of originals such as Rob Van Dam, The Sandman, Sabu, Tommy Dreamer and more) and newer talent on the ECW brand such as CM Punk, Kurt Angle, Big Show and Mike Knox!!! The video also has interviews with wrestlers and fans, before the event, such as Justin Credible, Little Guido, Francine and, the ECW legend himself, 'Hat Guy'!!! Footage, from the live event, has been somewhat of a holy grail for fans wanting to catch some of WWE's EC...

The WWE Vault continues to be the gift that keeps on giving for the Pro Wrestling community!!! The Vault will be celebrating all things ECW, on their YouTube channel, and from the preview it doesn't look like its going to disappoint!!! Paul Heyman tells us all about what to expect from 'ECW Week', during the video, and it looks like it'll be a mix of classic matches and interviews, with ECW legends, however the one that caught our attention was the, previously unseen, match between Rob Van Dam and Kurt Angle from WWE ECW's June 2006 show at the ECW Arena!!! The June 2006 show was the only time that WWE's version of ECW visited the Arena so this footage is absolute gold especially as RVD was ECW Champion, at the time, and Kurt Angle was doing his awesome extreme shooter gimmick!!!
