First Archived Snapshot Of Original ECW Website

April 28, 2020 by ECW Website

This website (ECWwrestling.com) appeared live in 1998.  Archive.org (the Wayback Machine) takes random snapshots of sections of websites for the purposes of maintaining a sort of “history” for all websites.  The original website’s technology used frames and other pieces of code which may not translate well to the current internet browsing device technology (the world was using Internet Explorer 5.0 back then); so this first archived snapshot of the website may not display well on your device.

Nonetheless, here is the link to the first archived snapshot of what ultimately was the main internet presence (after the various pro wrestling online fan discussion forums/boards at the time) for the official wording coming from ECW:
