ECW One Night Stand 2005 was a special pay per view produced by WWE, taking place in the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Rob Van Dam approached Vince McMahon about holding an ECW reunion event after the WWE released the incredibly succesful "Rise and Fall of ECW" DVD documentary. Feeling that an ECW reunion on pay per view could make money, Vince McMahon agreed to put Extreme Championship Wrestling back on television for one night only.

ECW One Night Stand turned out to be a very interesting and entertaining wrestling show. Booking duties were handed over to Paul Heyman, and those who competed inside the ring were guys who only previously worked for ECW. Some ECW originals made surprise appearances to make the show feel more authentic, and the WWE even went out of their way when it came to the overall production of the show... ECW One Night Stand 2005 actually felt like a ECW show and not a WWE event. So succesful was the first ECW One Night Stand that the WWE done it again the following year, leading to the creation of WWE ECW.
