R.A.W Media

We rarely cover the results, and recaps, of Pro Wrestling television shows (unless they are specific specials like 'Halloween Havoc', 'Battle Of The Belts' ect. for 'The R.A.W Report) but it was EXTREMELY (see what we did there) hard to ignore the NXT brands invasion of the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia!!! For those who don't know (which you should by the way), from 1993 - 2000, the 2300 Arena was home to Eastern/Extreme Championship Wrestling and known as the 'ECW Arena'!!!

Through his, absolutely amazing, interview series 'Chewin' The Fat' he's had the chance to catch up with some of biggest names from ECW's pre-Extreme era such as 'Ironman' Tommy Cairo, Stevie Wonderful, Jay Sulli, Glen Osbourne, Johnny Hotbody, The Super Destroyers and more as they discuss their days in Eastern Championship Wrestling. These interviews give a real in-depth look into what the company was like before Tod Gordon handed the reigns over to Paul Heyman and even what it was like during Heyman's early days with ECW!!! This is a must for fans who want to learn more about the true history of ECW beyond the version that WWE chooses to present to the public.
