I've heard about it, but I never really got to know it. Can any of you tell me what the XPW is, and as I've heard from some people how it sucked?

Crappy wrestling promotion run by Rob Black in California. They thought they were ECW, but in reality, they were just crap.
Of course thats just my opinion.

It definitely wasn't wwe current but yeah, a company that (badly) tried to cash in on ECW dying.

What the hell was XPW? This should answer your question. The video is less than 2 minutes and tells you all you need to know. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB8cSPfrNiUYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd rather pass kindey stones than watch XPW for 10 minutes. I hope that helps you.

Ah, I see why, it was just a terrible rip off of the original ECW, well believe me, no hardcore wrestling promotion can ever beat the old EC F'N W and now we have to face Vince taking constant dumps on the legacy of the greatest rasslin' brand of hardcore.

Hulk Hogan and Flair never had to do stunts like that to get over.

They thought they were ECW, but in reality, they were just crap. Of course thats just my opinion. I'd rather pass kindey stones than watch XPW for 10 minutes at all. I hope that helps you. Take your pick. Also, they tried to invade ECW at HeatWave and failed miserably. Which is hilarious since it was in XPW territory in Los Angeles.

Run by porn director Rob Black. Built up a cult following in LA in the last 90's with deathmatch/peep show wrestling. They actually were running the LA Sports Arena for a while because attendance was good (the indy scene in SoCal at the time was strong so they got their fans).
They were lucky in that WCW and ECW closed during their time so they got a good crop of wrestlers to come in. And they smurfed that up with stupid booking, putting over terrible wrestlers, and doing business like it was a back alley. Black sometimes paid wrestlers in porn. He also promoted stars like the Great Muta to show up.
Shane Douglas got his hand in it in 2002, brought it to the East Coast they did okay. Then Black and his porn company was in a scandal,in which they made some movies that featured some sick and twisted stuff and were indicted by the feds and XPW died. The case is still pending after it was initially thrown out, but brought back up by appeals.
A promotion that was utter crap, but got tons of breaks that came with the times and it still only lasted five years.
