10 Forgotten ECW Wrestlers You Totally Don't Remember

This might sound like a shocking statement considering Chris Daniels' skillset, but forgotten ECW man Julio Dinero was just as good as him in-ring during the late-90s and early-00s. In fact, the ex-WCW and WWF job guy seemed to have the world at his feet when ECW picked him up in 2000 and dubbed him Julio Fantastico.

The name change happened when Julio started hanging around with EZ Money and Chris Hamrick. Their cash-obsessed faction (Hot Commodity, which was an excellent name) was a sporadic highlight during the dwindling days of Heyman-led mayhem. There's just one problem with Dinero.

Not many recall how good he was.

TNA noticed his value, and Julio got to team with a young CM Punk on shows a few years later. Sadly, his time as EZ Money's bestie and his big-bumping style for workers like Balls Mahoney, Roadkill and Kid Kash in ECW has been forgotten. Go back and watch some of his work via WWE Network/Peacock whilst you can.
