The above post on Reddit highlighted Paul E.’s thoughts on ECW’s business status heading into what became the company’s final pay per view event, Guilty As Charged. The event took place on January 7, 2001.

Heyman said he would be willing to walk away from the business side of ECW if the right offer came along to save the company.  (read the full recap of Paul’s comments through the above link)
