# List of Extreme Championship Wrestling attendance records

The following is a list of Extreme Championship Wrestling attendance records. Established in 1992 by Tod Gordon as Eastern Championship Wrestling, the promotion was part of the National Wrestling Alliance for nearly a year before breaking away from the organization in August 1994. The split occurred under controversial circumstances when Shane Douglas infamously threw down the NWA World Heavyweight Championship moments after winning the title in a championship tournament. The promotion was subsequently rechristened "Extreme" Championship Wrestling and, under the creative direction of booker Paul Heyman, saw its most successful period during the 1990s wrestling boom. By the end of the decade, ECW had successfully transitioned from a Northeastern U.S.-based independent promotion to a nationally touring company and was widely considered part of the 1990s-version of the "Big Three" with World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation.
