The first two editions were reunion events for the original Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion, which was active from 1992 until 2001. WWE purchased it in 2003 and made a documentary, called The Rise and Fall of ECW. Its popularity led to the company making ECW One Night Stand, featuring WWE and former ECW wrestlers.[1] In May 2006, WWE brought back ECW as their third brand, alongside Raw and SmackDown!.[2]
The 2007 and 2008 editions were called WWE One Night Stand: Extreme Rules, as WWE began calling their hardcore matches "Extreme Rules matches" since the restart of ECW. In 2009, Extreme Rules was established as its own pay-per-view, replacing One Night Stand.[3]
