7 Forgotten ECW Personalities

Long after the heyday of barbed wire bouts and Singapore Cane matches, the memory of the promotion known as ECW lives on. To this day, wrestling fans still love ECW icons like The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, and Rob Van Dam.

10 Best ECW Wrestlers, Ranked By Likability

ECW had a very passionate fanbase that loved their determined wrestlers. These were the wrestlers that the loyal ECW fans loved the most.

Beyond these household names, there were several more competitors that comprised the ECW locker room. Though these wrestlers were lesser known than the Ravens and Sabus of the world, they nevertheless played a part in Paul Heyman's blueprint to revolutionize the industry under the ECW banner.

In a promotion that wasn't exactly known for honoring vintage '80s wrestling, C.W. Anderson was able to make a name for himself. As a purported offshoot of the famous Anderson family—the same clan that includes Gene, Arn, and Ole—the North Carolina native stood out in ECW thanks to his power, technical prowess, and intensity.

Notably, Anderson wrestled at the very last ECW pay-per-view Guilty as Charged. At the end of a hard-fought "I Quit" match, Anderson picked up the L after being forced by Tommy Dreamer to say the two denigrating words. For what it's worth, Anderson went on to have a short-lived stint in the WWE-sanctioned ECW, where his one and only televised match was against a youngster named CM Punk.

6 Chris Chetti: Homegrown ECW Product

Once upon a time, ECW had its own training facility called the House of Hardcore. Among the few graduates of this in-house wrestling school was Chris Chetti, who happened to be the cousin of ECW original Taz. In 1996, Chetti debuted in ECW under the name GQ Gorgeous and partnered with Pat Day to form the Erotic Experience tag team.

Chetti would spend a significant chunk of his ECW run as a tag team wrestler. His partners went on to include Tracy Smothers, Jerry Lynn, and Nova (who adopted the Simon Dean gimmick in WWE). Chetti, however, could neither capture tag team gold nor excel as a singles competitor.

5 Scotty Anton: Friend And Foe Of ECW's Biggest Star

Throughout the '90s, Scotty Anton, better known as Scotty Riggs, toured the independent circuit and even won the WCW World Tag Team Championship alongside Marcus Alexander Bagwell. Though his stay in ECW would last just months, Anton got to wrestle in high-profile matches, thanks to one Rob Van Dam.

Anton and RVD were friends outside the squared circle, and as expected, Anton presented himself as an ally of the Whole F'N Show when he joined the ranks of ECW. Anton, though, had a change of heart and proceeded to betray Van Dam, costing him his 23-month undefeated streak. The two locked horns at Heat Wave on July 16, 2000, in which RVD vanquished his former buddy with a cool new move called the Van Terminator.

4 Simon Diamond: A Vintage Heel

He Learned The Ropes From An ECW Original

Not a lot of fans remember the wrestling career of Simon Diamond, and even fewer realize that his in-ring name is a tribute to his mentor. The name "Simon" comes from Dean Simon, the real-life name of technical genius (and ECW original) Dean Malenko.

Though Diamond picked up the fundamentals from The Man of 1,000 Holds, he had a penchant for using underhanded tactics to defeat his opponents. After a three-year run in ECW and a much longer stay in TNA, he transitioned into the role of Director of Talent Relations for NWA (where he is known by his real name Pat Kenney).

3 911: An Inexplicably Popular Giant

This Man Stole Every Segment He Was In

Sometimes, performers get insanely over with the fans with little to no effort. Such was the case with 911, a towering behemoth who was hired to ensure the safety of Paul Heyman. All 911 had to do was to chokeslam every ECW competitor in sight, and the fans in attendance would go ballistic.

From 1994 to 1996, 911 competed in ECW against the likes of—believe it or not—Ron Simmons and Doink the Clown. He even got to challenge Mikey Whipwreck for the ECW Television Championship. Though 911 never won a title in ECW, he certainly secured a spot in the hearts of the ECW faithful.

2 Brian Lee: A Tommy Dreamer Nemesis

Prime Time Vs. Innovator of Violence Was A Fun Matchup

In the '90s, Brian Lee was a journeyman who had stops in WCW, WWE, and Smoky Mountain Wrestling. By the time he joined ECW in 1996, Lee was already an eight-year veteran that could be relied on to have a memorable feud with a top star. Going by the monicker "Prime Time," Lee would have an opportunity to prove himself when he entered a rivalry with Tommy Dreamer.

On multiple occasions, Lee viciously chokeslammed Dreamer through multiple tables. The Innovator of Violence, though, would get the last laugh at High Incident in October 1996. At the end of their Scaffold Match, it was Lee who was crashing into a stack of tables after being thrown off scaffolding suspended above the ring.

1 Danny Doring & Roadkill: Unlikely Partners

Success Strengthened Their Bond

Up until December 1997, the only common ground between Roadkill and Danny Doring was their stint in the House of Hardcore training school. Apart from that, the two competitors were quite different: Roadkill liked to wear Amish attire and Doring was a notorious flirt.

Despite their differences, the two House of Hardcore graduates decided to join forces. Their battles in the tag team division included encounters with Nova and Chris Chetti, as well as Simon and Swinger. Roadkill and Doring hold the distinction of being the very last tandem to hold the ECW World Tag Team Championship before the company folded in 2001.
