The Most Obscure and Forgotten Champions In ECW History

The Most Obscure and Forgotten Champions In ECW History

May 15, 2022

By Ryan Porzl

Continuing my tributes to ECW, we move to the second of the three part series. Like with New Japan and previously with WCW, we'll now take a look at forgotten names in ECW history. ECW may have only been around for nine years and many of their champions have become legends in the industry, they too have their list of champions that would make you go "who?" just like any other famous promotion. We'll now take a look at those obscure names. Once again, I'll only cover the original ECW from 1992-2001.

I don't own any pictures as I found them on Google.

We then see Roddy Piper, Jesse Ventura, and the Hillbillies on the beach with Piper looking out with binoculars saying they're getting their yearly bath while Ventura says he thought he smelled bacon. Piper says he's worried about one thing but Ventura asks what's there to worry about with Piper saying after tonight Humphrey the humpback is going to be out of a job as we go to the intro.
