Paul James and cross promotion with the JWF and MCWA (1996-1997)

Storyline-wise, Vincent Anderson first became "aware" of ECW in 1996 JWF Monday Heat episode in ECW's home base of Philadelphia. During a promo of Mabel and James Vega, the crowd suddenly started to angrly chant "ECW ECW ECW!". On September 14, 1996, at the JWF September Slam event in Philadelphia, ECW stars: The Sandman, Taz, Paul James, and Tony Screamer were in the front row with Sandman even interfering in one match.

Disputes with Frontier Target Wrestling (1998)
Extreme Championship Wrestling sued Frontier Target Wrestling because of copying the content of the promotion, but according to the owner of FTW, "Frontier Target Wrestling is not copying the content of Extreme Championship Wrestling, We only have different types of Hardcore wrestling". Paul James replied to John Scranton, "Frontier Target Wrestling is copying ECW's content of Hardcore wrestling, they even have the blue mat on their ring, even black turnbuckle pads and black ropes, They even have the matches that ECW only have, So, what is his point on not copying Extreme Championship Wrestling?", So, John Scranton officially admitted after 1 week that FTW is actually copying the content of ECW, according to him, "FTW is actually copying ECW, We copied the ECW ring, we copied the matches ECW only have, and we copyed the Style of ECW, from now on, FTW will change the ring, FTW will change the matches, and FTW will change it's style"

in a ECW Hardcore TV episode in 1999, FTW challenges ECW to a Inter-promotional event on August 1, 1999, ECW scored 5 and FTW scored only 2, ECW won the final match of the event and closing FTW
