Trivia
The original ECW championship belt is still in the possession of Rhino. On July 13, 2006, during TNA iMPACT!, Rhino came to the ring with a sack that he claimed contained the original ECW World Heavyweight Championship title belt, but noted that he couldn't bring it out due to threats from WWE's legal department. He ended up taking it outside and destroying it in a trash can.
Mike Awesome was still into his second reign as the ECW World Heavyweight Champion when he unexpectedly showed up in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It was due to this fiasco that Paul Heyman was forced to sign a match with Awesome and Tazz (who at the time was signed to the World Wrestling Federation) to defend his title, which Tazz eventually won. This was the only time that a WWF contracted wrestler faced a WCW contracted wrestler in an ECW ring.
The belt was known as the NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Championship from 1992 to 1994. On August 27, 1994, after severing ties with the NWA and claiming world status on their heavyweight championship, the belt became known as Extreme Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship
