replies: text: Before ECW was Extreme Championship Wrestling, it was Eastern Championship Wrestling. Shane Douglas became the first Extreme Championship Wrestling Champion on 27 August 1994. Snuka was the first Eastern Championship Wrestling Champion. Hope that clears things up. Donshotwell (talk) 16:02, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

message: As information, the WWE does not call their version of this championship a "World heavyweight" championship but just the "ECW Championship" instead.  It is no longer viewed as having been a world championship at least not the WWE version.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.54.181 (talk) 00:40, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

message: The description of the bankruptcy and related matters is inaccurate. I know this because ECW filed for bankruptcy in the Southern District of New York and my law firm represented the bankruptcy trustee. I personally negotiated the temporary transfer of certain rights to WWE so that they could use ECW trademarks on a national TV show scheduled for the night that we completed the negotiations.Paul Heyman did not "declare bankruptcy." ECW, or its corporate holding company (I don't recall exactly) filed for bankruptcy, not Heyman personally.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.74.18.154 (talk) 03:09, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Description

message: WWE does not and did not acknowledge this belt as a "world" championship.  On their website they simply call it the "ECW Championship".  This should be edited somewhere.  Wrestlers such as Matt Hardy, CM Punk, Christian, RVD, etc should not have this added as an additional "World Championship" reign of theirs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.38.208.77 (talk) 15:04, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Patently false. WWE promoted the title as the "ECW World Heavyweight Championship" upon its exhumation in 2006. Later that year, it was renamed the "ECW World Championship". By late 2007 it was simply the "ECW Championship", yes, but WWE continued to describe the belt as a "world" title. 2A02:C7F:8E0C:6600:8144:9C60:A139:70BA (talk) 00:05, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The physical WWECW title belt read "World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion" until July 2008. Per the links provided above, it was referred to as a world title on WWE.com through its 2010 retirement. The company has never formally withdrawn recognition of the belt as a world championship, and even if they had, retconning/historical revisionism has no place in an encyclopedia. 5.68.197.161 (talk) 22:13, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
