Gordon founded Eastern Championship Wrestling in 1992, and the promotion became an NWA affiliate the following year. He hired Paul Heyman as his booker in 1993, and rebranded as Extreme Championship Wrestling following a controversial split from the NWA in 1994. Gordon was inducted into the 2300 Arena’s Hardcore Hall of Fame in 2009, along with Sabu, and posthumous inductions for ECW’s original booker Eddie Gilbert and Chris Candido.
In 2023, Gordon along with Sean Oliver published “Tod is God: The Authorized Story of How I Created Extreme Championship Wrestling.”
