Only Wrestlers On Both The First And Last Eastern Championship Wrestling Show

ECW Trivia

Most fans consider that “Extreme” Championship Wrestling replaced “Eastern Championship Wrestling” after the events of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship tournament at the ECW Arena on August 27, 1994. That was the first of two shows that weekend at the Arena, with the next show being a taping on Sunday August 28, 1994; and many fans consider this to be the first “Extreme Championship Wrestling” card.

However, ECW did not become “Extreme Championship Wrestling” legally until a few days after that second show on September 2, 1994 (confirmation here). Therefore, the Sunday August 28, 1994 show is considered to be the last official show under the “Eastern” name.

Which two wrestlers on that final show also were on the first-ever Eastern Championship Wrestling show, which took place on February 25, 1992?

Answer:

Stevie Richards and JT Smith were the only two wrestlers on both shows.

Referees John Finegan, Jim Molineaux, and ring announcer Bob Artese all were on this final show as well.
