ECW One Night Stand (2006)
2006 World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per-view event
The 2006 ECW One Night Stand was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) via. its Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) brand. It was the second annual One Night Stand and took place on June 11, 2006, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York for a second consecutive year. The event was primarily held as a reunion show for wrestlers from the former Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion, the assets of which WWE acquired in 2003, and featured hardcore-based matches.
Like the previous year's event, wrestlers from WWE's Raw and SmackDown! brand divisions also appeared. Just prior to the event, WWE established a third brand dubbed ECW for wrestlers of the former promotion and newer talent. It was in turn WWE's first PPV event to feature the ECW brand.
The main event was Raw's John Cena defending the WWE Championship against ECW's Rob Van Dam in the latter's Money in the Bank cash-in match, which Van Dam won by pinfall after performing a Five-Star Frog Splash following interference from Edge. The predominant match on the undercard was SmackDown's Rey Mysterio defending the World Championship against ECW's Sabu, which ended in a no contest after Sabu executed a Triple Jump DDT on Mysterio through a table on to the floor rendering both men, in kayfabe, unable to continue, with Mysterio retaining the title.
