10 Wrestlers You Didn't Know Worked For ROH
You certainly won't remember these wrestlers in Ring of Honor
7. Nunzio
When Extreme Championship Wrestling went under in early 2001, not everyone was lucky enough to get picked up by WWE for the Invasion storyline.
The Rob Van Dams and Rhynos of the world were safe, sure, but many of the lower-card talents that had bled and sweat for the ECW cause were suddenly without work and needed to hustle hard on the independent and international circuits.
Former Full Blooded Italian Little Guido would end up in WWE, but not until late 2002 so he, like many of his cohorts, began accepting indie bookings.
With his ECW name value and strong mat-based wrestling style, Guido was a perfect fit for a new upstart promotion like Ring of Honor and joined them for their second-ever show.
Choosing to go by his given name (James Maritato), he looked very impressive in bouts opposite the likes of Xavier, Jay Brisco and teaming with and later fighting against his former ECW tag team partner, Tony Mamaluke.
Indeed, it was his short feud with Mamaluke which was the highlight of Maritato’s run. The dispute ended on Maritato’s sendoff at Glory by Honor, where he did the favours for Mamaluke in a match where the winner got the rights to the FBI gimmick.
