10 ECW Wrestlers You Don't Remember
You definitely don't remember these ECW wrestlers
3. Sal Bellomo
Another cult favourite from the pre-Extreme days of Eastern Championship Wrestling, ‘Wildman’ Sal Bellomo was a longtime journeyman grappler who was probably best known for being a technically-sound WWE jobber during the mid-1980s.
When he rocked up in ECW in the early 1990s, he was considerably heavier and sported a massive beard. He also wore new gear that made him look like a homeless Roman centurion and completely changed up his wrestling style, swapping headlocks and hiptosses for frenzied brawling.
Before New Jack, Balls Mahoney and the like made it their calling card years later, Bellomo was the first ECW star to truly take the action into the audience and use everything in his vicinity that wasn’t nailed down.
He never won a title in ECW, but he did receive a few cracks at them, including in a tournament final for the vacant ECW Heavyweight Title (which was won by Jimmy Snuka).
Sal wrestled for ECW between 1992 and ’94, left and then came back for a couple of matches as a member of the FBI in ’96. What he lacked in finesse he made up for by being entertaining and unpredictable.
