Pro-Pain Pro Wrestling, or 3PW, was a hardcore professional wrestling promotion based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Considered an attempt at reviving Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), it ran many shows from the former ECW Arena.[1]
The promotion was founded in 2002 by ECW alumni Jasmin St. Claire and Brian "The Blue Meanie" Heffron, later being joined by ECW founder Tod Gordon. Many former ECW veterans, such as Raven, The Sandman, Al Snow and Sabu, made up the roster of the promotion. The promotion closed in 2005 after encountering financial difficulties.
