ECW Guilty As Charged 2001: Where Are They Now?

ECW Guilty As Charged 2001: Where Are They Now?
February 23, 2026
By Ryan Porzl


Over the decades, there are many years that left an impression such as 1984 with Vince McMahon changing the course of American wrestling by beginning his conquest. 2001 was another year that will be remembered as it marked the end of the late 90s boom period in wrestling and closure of two of the three major promotions in American Wrestling in WCW and ECW. ECW formed in 1992 and in it's nine years of business was the underdog #3 that changed the industry and fought tooth and nail for success and sometimes just to survive. As 2001 began, ECW was on death's door with checks bouncing becoming a common occurrence while having lost their national TV deal with TNN. Before closing their doors, ECW would hold three shows in 2001. While the last two were live events, the first would be the promotion's final PPV in the 2001 Guilty As Charged. This January 7th marked 25 years since the event and having done a "Where Are They Now?" on ECW's First PPV in 2022, I decided to look at the participants of not only ECW's final PPV but their final televised show and a show that, to many, was their last memory of the land of Extreme.

WWF Wrestlers Who Had a Good/Great 1995

WWF Wrestlers Who Had a Good/Great 1995
December 31, 2025
By Ryan Porzl


In my last article, I talked about 1995 and how miserable it was especially for the WWF. In many ways, it was the worst year the WWF had in the 1990s and many wrestlers had a terrible year. However, despite 1995 being a nightmare for many, did anyone salvage the year and have a good one? Well, surprisingly, yes. In fact, I've been able to find some names of talent who actually not only had a good year but some would see 1995 as the year they took that next step and for two guys, it was easily the best and biggest year of their careers. In this article, we'll look at the fortunate ones in an unfortunate year for many.

WWF Wrestlers Who Had a Bad 1995

WWF Wrestlers Who Had a Bad 1995
December 17, 2025
By Ryan Porzl


Anybody who knows wrestling history knows 1995 was not the best year for the WWF. In fact, many would consider it one of the worse in the promotion's 70 year history. It's not hard to understand why with an outdated approach to wrestling, bad booking, lackluster events, and cartoonish gimmicks, 1995 didn't have much to look forward to. Unfortunately, there were several wrestlers who really had a worse year than others and we'll take a look at them. 

Two years ago, I did a list similar to this regarding 1998 and have been thinking of doing it with other years as maybe a series.

Wrestlers and Personalities Who Had The Worst Attitudes And Did Damage To Their Careers
November 1, 2025
By Ryan Porzl

Professional Wrestling is truly an interesting business with interesting people. There are plenty of wrestlers who can be cool to deal with. There are certainly plenty of wrestlers who know how to play the game to advance their careers. Then there are wrestlers who are their own worst enemy. Talent who could've went even farther than they did only to damage their careers due to their behavior. In this article, we'll look at wrestlers and personalities who wrecked their careers and/or did damage to it with their attitudes and being headaches. I will point out this won't feature wrestlers with addiction issues so no Scott Hall or Jake Roberts.
