Powell's POV: Black ran the ECW-wannabe promotion XPW out of California. The group is arguably best known for disrupting the ECW Heatwave 2000 pay-per-view. Black and his wife ran a pornography company, which is what led to the prison sentence listed above. The recent XPW reunion show was not promoted by Black.
