(Redirected from ECW December to Dismember)
Professional wrestling event
Professional wrestling pay-per-view event series
December to Dismember was a professional wrestling event. It was first held by the former Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion in 1995 as a non-televised supercard. After World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) acquired the assets of the former promotion in 2003, December to Dismember was revived as a pay-per-view (PPV) event in 2006 and was promoted by WWE for its new ECWbrand division. An event was planned for 2007, but was canceled as WWE discontinued brand-exclusive PPVs following WrestleMania 23 in April 2007, resulting in the reduction of yearly PPVs produced.
In 2003, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) acquired the assets of Extreme Championship Wrestling. In May 2006, WWE launched a third brand dubbed ECW in which alumni of the defunct promotion, as well as newer talent, would compete—brands were a subdivision of WWE's roster where wrestlers exclusively performed; WWE's other two brands at this time were Raw and SmackDown!. WWE then revived December to Dismember as a pay-per-view (PPV) for their ECW brand, and it was scheduled to be held on December 3, 2006, at the James Brown Arena in Augusta, Georgia. This was the only ECW branded pay-per-view WWE produced before the decision was made to discontinue brand-exclusive PPVs following WrestleMania 23 in April 2007, which resulted in WWE reducing the amount of yearly PPVs produced. Before the change, an event for 2007 had been planned.
