Birthplace: Providence, Rhode Island Rhode Island is the smallest state, in area, in America, so it's only fitting that their greatest pro wrestling export is someone who made a career out of being the smallest of the bunch. Little Spike Dudley, listed at a very generous 5'8" tall and 150 pounds, was always smaller than his opponents, but he knew how to get crowds on his side by taking crazy beatings. He was never going to win World Titles, but like many "ECW Originals", he had himself a cult following that supported him no matter what.
