On December 15, 2000 the Dudley Boyz returned from WWE (then WWF) to ECW for one night to the Elks Lodge in Queens, New York. Their return was announced ahead of time on this website as an attempt to help the promotion plus give the ECW fans one more appearance of the Dudleys.

Quotes from Buh Buh Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley were found on the Wayback/Archive of this website at this link:

The last time the Dudley Boyz were seen on ECW television was the show from August 26, 1999 when they both won, and lost, the ECW tag team championship that evening.

Here is more information about that December 15, 2000 show, which happened to be ECW’s last show at the Elks Lodge in Queens:

Shortly after ECW’s last pay per view event of 2000, Massacre on 34th Street, this website – when it still operated as the official website for the promotion – posted recaps of each match and TV segment. That night there were two dark matches before the main PPV started.

One of those matches featured two referees against each other: HC Loc vs Danny Daniels

The event took place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, NY on December 3, 2000.

In order to preserve as much of ECW’s original history, we will link out to archives of this website from when the promotion was still active. Not many of the original pages and photos are accessible via Archive.org (Wayback Machine), but when we find interesting ones then we will include them in this blog post category:

Original ECWwrestling.com website content

Even though ECW’s last show was held on January 13, 2001 the website continued on for a few weeks afterward due to the uncertainty of the promotion’s future at that time.

This post (from the March 9, 2001 archive/snapshot) was the website’s official fan poll for the wrestler of the year for 2000: Click Here

Obviously, you cannot vote for the wrestlers now (!) – but many fans may like to see the list. Those names include:

Jerry Lynn
Justin Credible
Kid Kash
New Jack
Rhino
Rob Van Dam
Sandman
Steve Corino
Super Crazy
Tommy Dreamer
Yoshihiro Tajiri

It is unknown at this time if the promotion ever made an official announcement on its 2000 “Wrestler of the Year” as a result of this poll or by any other determination.
