As we continue through out 2022, it's time to celebrate another promotion's milestone which is Impact Wrestling. The former Total Nonstop Action Wrestling began in 2002 and for twenty years, has been the little promotion that could as it continues to chug along despite many giving up or calling their demise several times over the decades. Like just about any promotion that's been around this long, it's had it's share of great champions. Obviously, when you think Impact Wrestling, the champions that come to mind include AJ Styles, Gail Kim, Awesome Kong, America's Most Wanted, Eric Young, Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, and Sting to name some. However, they're have been other stars who you may be familiar with that you forgot held a title. We'll begin our celebration of Impact's 20th Anniversary by looking back as wrestlers you likely know but either forgot or had no idea they held a title in Impact. For the record, I will look back at all of Impact's championships including the NWA titles they used from 2002-2007.

ECW Barely Legal: Where Are They Now?

1997 will go down as one of American wrestling's greatest years. Business was booming and creatively, things seem to be at an all time high with much watch television from both WWF and WCW. 1997 saw WCW as the undisputed #1 promotion in the country riding off big success with concepts like the nWo to the cruiserweight division to Sting's reinvention with the Crow gimmick while WWF was slowly but surely putting everything together for a big comeback and had stars like Steve Austin, The Rock, HHH, and Mick Foley ready to burst while Undertaker got his opportunity to run with the championship, Bret Hart was doing his critically acclaimed anti-USA/pro-Canada Hart Foundation stuff, and Shawn Michaels was about to put together D-Generation X. However, while the big two were fighting it out, we saw the number three ECW have their own memorable year with the biggest moment being they were about to make the leap to Pay-Per-View. On April 13, 1997, ECW broadcasted their first PPV called Barely Legal from the ECW Arena in Philadelphia having one of the more memorable events of the year. With this year being the 30th Anniversary of ECW and April 13th marked the 25th Anniversary of Barely Legal, we'll close our 30th Anniversary celebration of ECW by looking back at the participants at that show, the key players, and where they are now.
