10 Wrestlers Who VANISHED When ECW Died

10. Chilly Willy

Chilly Willy! It’s funny because it could mean a man’s genitalia is feeling a cold breeze!

He’s not officially retired, as his Cagematch profile lists him as an active professional wrestler, with his most recent outing coming against fellow ECW alum CW Anderson for the Raleigh, North Carolina-based GOUGE Wrestling company in July 2019.

Since ECW folded, though, there’s not been much for Chilly Willy to sink his teeth into.

He joined Paul Heyman’s federation with just eleven matches under his belt, the most recent of which saw him capture the Heavyweight Title of the Southern Championship Wrestling (also operating out of Raleigh) company. You’d be forgiven for not remembering him, as just fourteen of Willy’s fifty-three matches under the ECW banner were ever televised. The rest came by way of untelevised live events.

He did, however, unsuccessfully challenge Rhino for the ECW World Television Title on an episode of ECW On TNN, while the 2000 November To Remember pay-per-view saw him involved in a flaming tables bout alongside Balls Mahoney. Guilty As Charged 2001 would ultimately mark Willy’s final in-ring appearance on any televised wrestling product, as he and Mahoney (Chilly Balls, anyone?) went to a one-minute no contest with Simon Diamond and (Johnny) Swinger.
