At the beginning of the main event, the XPW contingent ( The Messiah, Kid Kaos, Supreme, Kristi Myst, Homeless Jimmy and Kris Kloss) donned shirts emblazoned with the logo of their home company, gaining the attention of security and Tommy Dreamer. The tickets for the show were given to a cadre of XPW talent, as their mission was to make it clear that ECW was on enemy turf.
In 2000, Rob Black purchased six front row tickets for ECW's Heat Wave pay-per-view in 2000. In this period, the promotion's main stars were homegrown wrestlers, but many former stars of Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) passed through XPW following the fall of that promotion.

Rivera often sided with Rob Black, calling him the Donald Trump of the pro wrestling business, and his trademark announcing consisted of referring to Kloss as "chico", using "chico" in nearly all of his sentences, and occasional wandering into Spanish announcing. Kloss's trademark was screaming expletives or shrieking a high pitched scream when something shocking occurred in a match. The announce team for XPW consisted of Kris Kloss and Larry Rivera, with Kloss doing the play-by-play and Rivera taking on the role as a heel color commentator. The first show was on Jat Reseda Country Club. In addition, XPW kept a huge focus on the soap opera aspect of wrestling, as the storylines involved porn stars, alternative lifestyles, profanity, and sadistic violence. The promotion based its style on hardcore wrestling, featuring many very violent matches. XPW was founded in summer 1999 on the West Coast, particularly Los Angeles, California. History Original West Coast version (1999–2002) Zicari relaunched the promotion out of Rochester in 2021 after it was featured that same year on Dark Side of the Ring. Big Vision Entertainment held two XPW reunion shows, Cold Day In Hell in May 2008 and XPW X in August 2009. Thanks to promotional efforts on the part of Shane Douglas and Cody Michaels, the East Coast invasion featured XPW garnering some success in cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh before closing in 2003. In 2002, Shane Douglas returned to XPW, and the "All-New XPW" was relocated to Pennsylvania. From 2000 to 2002, XPW held an annual deathmatch tournament called Baptized in Blood. The promotion focused on hardcore wrestling and had connections to the Los Angeles porn industry, as Zicari was the real life owner of Extreme Associates. He appeared on shows as the on-camera owner under the name Rob Black alongside his wife Lizzy Borden. Zicari originally ran the promotion out of Los Angeles from 1999 to 2003.
