Guilty as Charged (2001) was the third and final ECW Guilty as Charged professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). It took place on January 7, 2001, from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, New York. This was the final nationally and globally broadcast event held by the original and independent ECW before it filed for bankruptcy two months later that year.
Rob Van Dam versus Jerry Lynn was included on the 2005 WWE DVD release Rob Van Dam: One of a Kind. The Unholy Alliance (Yoshihiro Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck) versus Kid Kash and Super Crazy versus The F.B.I. (Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke) was included on the 2012 WWE DVD and Blu-ray release ECW Unreleased: Vol 1.
The main event was the first and only Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Canes match in ECW history for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, in which Steve Corino defended the title against The Sandman and Justin Credible. Sandman won the title but then immediately defended the title against Rhino, who defeated Sandman to capture the title. Rhino issued an open challenge which was answered by Rob Van Dam, but Van Dam was attacked by Jerry Lynn, leading to an immediate contest between the duo, which Van Dam won.
Advertisements aired by Time Warner Cable and In Demand originally promoted Scott Hall as appearing at the show until Paul Heyman had him pulled.
