Eastern Championship Wrestling/Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) is a defunct professional wrestling promotion based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that operated from 1992 to 2001. Over the course of its existence, ECW staged regular supercards and, beginning in 1997, pay-per-view events. From February 1992 to August 1994, events were promoted under the Eastern Championship Wrestling banner; from August 1994 to January 2001, the Extreme Championship Wrestling name was used.
In 2003, World Wrestling Entertainment (now known as WWE) purchased the assets of ECW, including the video libraries of all previous ECW pay-per-views, and the ownership rights of the names of these events. To date, as of 2024, WWE has only promoted one event using the name of a former ECW PPV, Heat Wave since 2022 for the NXT brand and has since rotated between an television special and an live-streaming event as WWE ceased airing NXT pay-per-views from 2022 and has aired solely on the WWE Network and Peacock.
Beginning in 2014, nearly almost all of ECW pay-per-view events were made available on the WWE Network and Peacock.
