10 Forgotten Wrestlers From ECW's Early Days

These are 10 early Eastern Championship Wrestling performers who, whilst playing a role in the promotion, got lost in the shuffle and have today slipped from the mind of many fans. 

Griffin Kaye Up to 1994 when Shane Douglas’s famously threw down the NWA belt, Eastern Championship Wrestling was little more than a regional independent promotion who happened to have a TV deal. Bankrolled by Tod Gordon, he was still able to get some notable names on programming such as Terry Funk, Kevin Sullivan, and Jimmy Snuka, although elsewhere, the card was propped up by little-known,…

Thank you so much for asking! I'm sorry this took so long, I wanted to be able to add as many visuals as I could ^^;

Angle: Sandman's entire development, especially the plot of winning Tyler back from Raven. It went on exactly as long as I wanted it to, and it really pushed me over the edge from liking him a lot to unabashedly loving him. Seeing him come out with Tyler on his shoulders is easily in the top three most gratifying moments in the entirety of ECW for me thus far. Sandman in general added something to the whole Raven-Dreamer feud that kept it fresh as I was just starting to get sick of seeing those two. I've been going back and rewatching early '94 to get clips and whatnot and man, he's come such a long way from yelling at Tommy Cairo to PAY HIS BILLS! And I haven't even seen his surfer gimmick yet (I'll be watching the years I inadvertently skipped once I get to the end).

Card: This was definitely the hardest one to answer. I have no clue how many matches are "supposed" to be at an event/on a card, so bear with me lol.

Al Snow v. Rob van Dam. I also want Jerry Lynn in the mix somehow but idk who I'd replace.

Giant v. Tiny - Mr. Hughes or Bam Bam Bigelow for the giant and Mikey Whipwreck or Spike Dudley for the tiny

Rey Mysterio Jr. v. Psicosis or Juventud Guerrera, I'd be happy with either

Cactus Jack v. Sabu

Finale: Three-Way Dance between the Gangstas, the Eliminators, and the Chair-Swinging Freaks

Maybe not the most creative matchups, but I consistently love these guys. For the structure, I like majority bloody/destructive matches with one or two skill matches to satisfy both parts of my brain.

Catchphrase: BANG BANG!

Also, not technically catch"phrases" in the literal sense, but Kronus's laugh, Sabu's point, and Cactus's/Mankind's pigsqueals delight me to no end.

Must be nothing.

Gear: The Pitbulls are my favorite, hands down

Also Rhea Ripley. This outfit especially is honestly just something I'd wear.

Least favorite would have to be the Dudleys. It works very well for their characters, I just can't stand tie dye for unknown reasons.

Generation: Well, aside from one-off things from current WWE/AEW, I've only seen 94-97 ECW thus far (and segments from 96-97 WWF), so that's the only answer I can really give ^^;

Luchador: Rey Mysterio Jr.! I don't really have a solid explanation as to why, or at least no explanation that couldn't apply to other luchadors. I love his speed and agility, and his matches with Psicosis were some of the ones that would make me go silent because I was so enraptured by the skills on display. I also just love the attitude he gives off, both when he is and isn't speaking.

Run-In: Does the Gangstas debut count?

If not, 911's entire existence. Especially him chokeslamming Bill Alfonso!

Save: Rey Mysterio saving 911 from the Eliminators. Despite how much I love Kronus, watching 911 get his ass kicked really fucked me up, so this gave me relief like no other save did. Plus, the four of them setting up for Chicken just for Rey to jump off 911 and take Saturn down off of Kronus's shoulders was nuts!

Shows: I've been to one! There was an indy wrestling event (AXW) at the Legends Fanfest I went to on September 16th this year. I genuinely loved it! I was worried that I'm too used to ECW and I'd be lowkey bored, but they put on an excellent show! I consistently picked the loser lol, but so be it. The show culminated in a Royal Rumble that was a total blast!

Someone I met there said he's taking me to Wrestlemania next year, so I'm obviously looking forward to that. I also really want to start looking into local indies, especially since I live less than an hour from the ECW Arena, which seems to have semi-regular wrestling events (one of which is actually coming up next weekend, so I might be going to that 👀)

ECW Barbed Wire Hoodies & Chokeslams 1995 | ECW Sunday Night RetroView

@MarkBlakePWP returns with his first #ECW RetroView of 2021! | ECW Barbed Wire Hoodies & Chokeslams 1995 | ECW Sunday Night RetroView

I’m BAAAAAACK! Yes folks, your resident ECW analyst (and I use that term very loosely) has returned! For those of you that follow me on my socials, you know that my day job recently has left me with no time to write at all. But all that has changed with the new year and once again I am back to educate and entertain. And again, I use both of those terms very loosely 😉 And with that out of the way,…

PWI 1994 Rookie of the Year: 911 “The question asked most when a fan sees the mighty 911 for the first time is: “Where did they find this guy?” [...] 911 is not only big, he can wrestle. His finishing maneuver is a deadly chokeslam, in which he grabs his opponent by the throat, lifts him into the air, and drives him straight down to the mat. Considering 911 is 6′7″, with full arm extension the hapless opponent falls approximately nine feet before hitting the canvas! “Yeah, its scary,” explained Donn E. Allen, who should be earning frequent-flyer mileage for the number of times he has been victimized by the maneuver. “This is going to sound strange, but when I’m up there, I can’t wait till he actually drives me into the mat. It’s so terrifying just being up there in the air like that, let alone by your throat.””

Runners-Up Bob “Spark Plugg” Holly “Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Bob “Spark Plugg” Holly entered the WWF in early-1994 and immediately proved he can hold his own amongst top-level competition. He has already given many veterans stiff competition in the wrestling ring. Constantly improving with every match he wrestlers, we expect him to get off to a fast start in 1995.″

Abbudah Singh “This madman from Singapore set the independent scene on fire this year-literally! Singh set out to destroy every opponent he faced, including Abdullah the Butcher, whom he sent to the hospital with severe burns after a WWA match in New Jersey. Singh wants to take the Butcher’s place as the most sadistic man in wrestling. Yikes!”

Mikey Whipwreck “For the love of the underdog in all of us, Mikey Whipwreck to the rescue! The 187-pound, 18-year-old Buffalo native held the ECW TV title earlier this year and, until recently, was a co-holder of the ECW tag team title with Cactus Jack. He may be undersized and lacking in talent, but he always gives his all, and he’s everybody’s sentimental favorite.”

Votes for Others “Some of the top vote-getters who did not capture a runner-up spot include: Bryant Anderson, Frank Andersson, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Jesse Hennig, Moadib, and “Jungle” Jim Steele.”

[shitloadsofwrestling]

It always blows my mind to recall the amount of talent that blew through ECW’s history. Tully Blanchard, for example, taking on Shane Douglas for the ECW Heavyweight Championship is a very interesting bout that doesn’t seem like it would have taken place. I’m also laughing at “Steve Richards”. Makes him sound like such a regular everyday dude rather than a daisy dukes-wearing near psychopath that he truly was.
