World Wrestling Entertainment issued a press release, finally confirming the return of Extreme Championship Wrestling as a third brand for the company that will be airing on the SciFi Channel.
The first episode of the WWE’s Extreme Championship Wrestling TV series will be taped on 6/13 in Trenton, New Jersey and will air the same evening. The date was confirmed this morning in a Hollywood Reporter article about WWE reviving ECW and bringing it to the network.
Sci Fi Network President Bonnie Hammer was quoted as saying the series would have a test run as a summer series, but could get a longer pickup if it proved to be successful for the network.
