ECW When Worlds Collide 1994 (Full Show 1080p)

Promotion: Eastern Championship Wrestling Date: May 14, 1994 City: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US Venue: ECW Arena Attendance: 1,558 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 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.
