NEWS: ECW Living Dangerously Officially Cancelled in the U.S.
March 9, 2001
By Denny Burkholder
WrestleLine Staff Writer

As expected, Extreme Championship Wrestling has officially cancelled this Sunday's scheduled Living Dangerously pay-per-view, in both the United States and Canada.

I received confirmation early this morning from Jade Levine of DirecTV that "our broadcast of the 'ECW Living Dangerously' event has been officially cancelled."

This news comes one day after it was reported that an ECW lawyer contacted Viewer's Choice and cancelled the event, according to Bill Custers of Viewer's Choice Canada.

It's long been considered a formality that ECW would end up cancelling the Living Dangerously pay-per-view, due to the company being on life support and losing talent by the week. No official statement has come out of ECW yet, but with the PPV cancelled, it stands to reason that ECW's fate is closer than ever to being sealed.

Yup, it was a forlorn conclusion some time ago.

From ECW's Site:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT LIVING DANGEROUSLY
Due to circumstances beyond our control, ECW must regrettably announce that we must cancel this weekend's LIVING DANGEROUSLY pay per view event.


But they have a new CD coming out March 20...

No big surprise with that announcement. I read that in some places, the cable companies will be re-running the January in its place. Hopefully the cable outlets here will show it.

Also on their website, they'll be coming out with their first PPV "Barely Legal" on DVD next month.

Its amazing that here we are 2 days before the Pay Per View and the OFFICIAL annoucement comes now.

Well duh. First off they never announced a site. They never sold any tickets. They have nobody left in their promotion. I think it was pretty obvious many many weeks ago that this Pay Per View wasnt happening.

Thats like The Weather Service confirming today that it will NOT be 100 Degrees out tomorrow. Well duh.

but then again with the weathermen, you never know.

I guess that's the final nail in ECW's coffin. We all knew it was coming but I didn't want to believe it. Oh well.

Yeah cablevision has been running a message all day apologizing for the canceling of the PPV. but without rhino, credible, lyn and tajiri what kinda car could you have?

Plus rhino was the world champion how do you explain his disapperance? Plus last i heard van damme was in japan for a couple weeks and wasnt even interested in wrestling on the ppv.

unplanned for like a scaring over-friendly

& gives us wings where we had shoulders
smooth as raven's claws

I have every ECW Hardcore TV episode and PPV from the years 1997 and 1998. So I can still relive some of the good old days. Back when just about every episode started with the Triple Threat Coming to the Ring with Francine.

mmmm. Francine.

Note to Paul Heyman: Bring in Francine to WWF.
