On February 27th, 1994 the World Wrestling Network held a television pilot taping in the Manhattan Center in New York. Owned by Jim Crockette and booked by Paul Heyman, the card was a proto-version of what ECW would become less than a year later. Several of the ECW wrestlers and concepts were used for the WWN taping, which included Sabu, The Public Enemy, Tommy Dreamer, and 911.
Even more interesting was that Heyman and Crockett decided to record the pilot in high definition. This would be over a decade before professional wrestler would be made available in HD by WWE (WCW was always broadcast in SD). This very likely was the earliest wrestling taping done in high definition, and for that it would be quite interesting to see.
Has any footage surfaced of this event?
