This was known for the imfamous incident when rival promotion XPW had a few of their Wrestlers (Supreme, Messiah, Kid Kaos and valet Krysti Mist ) sitting in the crowd and just before the main with Tommy Dreamer and Justin Credible in a Stairway To Hell Match 1 of the wrestlers touched Francine therefore the ECW locker room clears to escort the XPW contingent out but not before a huge brawl breaks out between the 2 companies . Remember watching and have the video where XPW owner Rob Black addresses that situation stating that some of the wrestlers went after ring crew guys and flyer girls outside the venue along with Paul Heyman and lawsuits were filed for the situation along with lawsuits between both companies over the use of the EXTREME label and XPW using Sabu who according to ECW was still under contract but according to Black had yet to see a dime of it and he had the BALLS to use Sabu and a few years later after ECW went bankrupt XPW tried to lay claim to their old stomping grounds aka ECW Arena renaming it the XPW Arena only to go bankrupt and shut down after Black was charged with selling snuff films and going to jail for a few years . The only good thing about XPW was the fact they used just about every wrestler from ECW during the time they were in business and aside from the forementioned wrestlers that were in the crowd that made that company somewhat decent wasn't much else decent about XPW .In all honesty they were ECW West Coast for lack of a better name .
