The ECW Originals was a professional wrestling stable that made appearances in various wrestling promotions, such as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
The name of the stable derives from their affiliation with the original independent Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion, with "ECW Originals" being wrestlers who first came to prominence during the first ECW's run. Members of the ECW Originals faction have held the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, World Television Championship, or World Tag Team Championship during their tenure with the original company.
In 2006, WWE relaunched ECW as their third brand, with wrestlers from the original promotions being dubbed the ECW Originals and feuding with wrestlers with no association with the original ECW, dubbed "The New Breed".
In July 2010, the group debuted in TNA under the name EV 2.0[1] (EV being an abbreviation for "Extreme Violence"[2] or "Extreme Version").[3] However, the ECW Originals reunion was only implied and never billed under that name, due to WWE owning all ECW trademarks and properties.
