This week, we go extreme and dive deep into the very first ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view from June 2005. While this was a WWE-produced show, it still had many elements of the original Extreme Championship Wrestling that we all knew and loved back then … a lot of which does not hold up today.
However, there was some WWE flavor in this one as superstars from RAW and SmackDown would “invade” the show. We’d be another year away from the ECW reboot, but WWE definitely felt it necessary to add this into the 2005 show to try and get more people to buy it, no doubt. Of course, Stone Cold Steve Austin would make an appearance, as well.
