ECW When Worlds Collide
When Worlds Collide was the name of two professional wrestling live events produced by the professional wrestling promotion Eastern Championship Wrestling/Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in 1994 and 1996 respectively. Both events were held in the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States.
When Worlds Collide was produced by Eastern Championship Wrestling (ECW) on May 14, 1994. The event was held in the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States.
Excerpts from When Worlds Collide aired on the syndicated television show ECW Hardcore TV, while the full event was released on VHS in 1994. It was made available for streaming on the WWE Network in 2020. The main event, a tag team match pitting Arn Anderson and Terry Funk against Bobby Eaton and Sabu, was included on the compilation DVD ECW: Unreleased Vol. 2 released by WWE in 2013.
The title of "When Worlds Collide" referred to the involvement of World Championship Wrestling wrestlers in the main event. The main event of When Worlds Collide came about after World Championship Wrestling approached ECW about cross-promoting its Slamboree pay-per-view, which was scheduled to take place in Philadelphia on May 22, 1994. The two promotions agreed to a talent exchange in which WCW wrestlers Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton would appear at When Worlds Collide, while Terry Funk and other ECW wrestlers would appear on WCW television. ECW later sued World Championship Wrestling for copyright infringement in 1994 after they announced an event also titled "When Worlds Collide". The case was settled out of court. As part of the settlement, WCW agreed to supply three of its contracted wrestlers for an ECW event on November 18, 1994: Kevin Sullivan, Sherri Martel, and Steve Austin (later replaced by Brian Pillman). When Worlds Collide also inspired the naming of a series of WWE events, Worlds Collide.
When Worlds Collide introduced the "Singapore cane" as a recurring weapon in professional wrestling, drawing upon the controversy resulting from the caning of American citizen Michael P. Fay in Singapore on May 5, 1994.
The event was attended by 1,558 people, representing ECW's then-largest audience.
The opening bout was a singles match between Rockin' Rebel and Tommy Dreamer. During the match, Dreamer took a frying pan from a member of the audience and used it as a weapon, starting the tradition of ECW wrestlers using weapons given to them by the audience. Dreamer won the match by pinfall using a Thesz Press after interference from Rockin' Rebel's manager Jason backfired.
In the second match, Mikey Whipwreck defended his ECW Television Championship - which he had won the prior day - against 911. The much larger 911 quickly overpowered Whipwreck with a chokeslam, but instead of pinning him lifted him and chokeslammed him twice more. After referee John "Pee Wee" Moore remonstrated with him, 911 chokeslammed both Whipwreck and Moore simultaneously, drawing a disqualification. After the match, 911 chokeslammed Moore twice more.
