Time to get EXTREME AGAIN!

[Sass]

It is 2001 and ECW is on the brink of bankruptcy. The deal was already in place as Vince McMahon was set to purchase ECW and Paul Heyman was ready to join the WWF. That was until a mysterious investor decided to invest 20 million dollars into the dying extreme company. Now with financial backing, Paul Heyman has ripped up the contract and will be sticking with ECW as it's time to get EXTREME once again!
