WWF Wrestlers Who Had a Bad 1996

WWF Wrestlers Who Had a Bad 1996

As I covered and is well known, 1995 was not a good year for the WWF. They reportedly lost money that year, business was down, creative was weak, some of their shows were among the worst in company history, and WCW began breathing down their neck with the debut of WCW Monday Nitro and the start of the Monday Night Wars. 1996, in some ways, was almost worse. The product would begin to turn around and it was certainly considered better but at the same time, WCW only got stronger and by the end of the year, there were legit fears on the WWF's future. However, the WWF itself wasn't the only thing to have a lousy 1996. In this article we'll look at ten wrestlers/teams who also had a bad year.

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.
