10 ECW Wrestlers You Don't Remember
You definitely don't remember these ECW wrestlers
5. Tommy Cairo
Because ECW became so popular as the ultraviolent, anti-establishment cult promotion of the mid-to-late 1990s, people tend to forget its pre-Extreme life as NWA affiliate Eastern Championship Wrestling.
Eastern Championship Wrestling had a whole other roster and a bunch of stars that fans of the table-breaking revamp may not have heard of.
Such as Tommy Cairo, a former professional bodybuilder who became one of only two men (along with Tony Stetson) to hold the ECW Pennsylvania Championship during its fleeting five-month lifespan in 1993.
The most memorable thing Cairo did during his ECW tenure was feud with The Sandman.
Their personal rivalry saw them start as partners, before drawing in Woman and Sandman’s wife Lori (AKA Peaches) and leading to various matches revolving around the so-called ‘Singapore’ canes.
‘Ironman’ Tommy Cairo wasn’t a dynamic promo and didn’t really do anything flashy in the ring, but his contributions to the early days of ECW shouldn’t be overlooked and he was one of the hottest wrestlers in the Northeast independent scene of the day.
