AXL ROTTEN BIO!
Axl Rotten
Hometown: New Castle, England
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 310 lbs.
Year Turned Pro: 1988
Catch Phrase: "Your worst nightmare is back!"
Championships Held:
After a short sabbatical, Axl Rotten, who personifies Hardcore wrestling well beyond the point of sanity, has returned to Extreme Championship Wrestling with a vengeance.
A gifted wrestler who prefers to use brawling as a means to wear out his opponent, as adept with a steel chair as he is a clothesline, Axl has spent years in ECW, yet without the recognition he craves.
After a bloody feud with his younger brother Ian in 1995 which left Axl and ECW world-renowned for their barbed wire baseball bat matches, the surviving member of the "Bad Breed" soon formed an excellent Tag Team with Balls Mahoney.
Chasing after the ECW World Tag Team championships for well over a year with Balls, injuries forced Axl onto the sidelines as he witnessed his partner achieve their dream without him.
Returning to ECW, Axl was quick to challenge his former partner for the championships, teaming with old nemesis New Jack in one of the most hardcore brawls in Extreme Championship Wrestling history.
Wearing the scars on his body as a personal trophy, Axl is intensely determined to add a championship belt around his waist to match. Back from injury, Axl appears ready to do whatever it takes to finally get the respect he richly deserves.

ECW World Tag Team championship (with Masato Tanaka)
Imagine standing in the center of the ring as Balls Mahoney's music begins to blare and you fidget in your wrestling boots. Imagine standing there as you see Balls, steel chair in hand, heading for you, the fear swelling in you.
Now imagine the impact of that chair when it crunches against your skull and the unconsciousness that follows. That's what most of Balls' opponents have to look forward to.
Mahoney is a hardcore competitor, willing to put his body on the line, even if it means going through tables covered in thumbtacks and fire! An old-fashioned slugger, Mahoney does show flashes of scientific greatness at times, and even at his girth, can take to the air if needed!
A self-proclaimed "Chair Swinging Freak" Mahoney is sure to leave his mark on ECW, as well as any opponents who are unfortunate enough to meet his steel chair.
CHRIS CHETTI BIO!
Chris Chetti
Hometown: Amityville, New York
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 227 lbs.
Year Turned Pro: 1996
Catch Phrase: "I feel as good as I look"
Championships Held:
Chetti, is the first graduate of ECW's own wrestling school, the House of Hardcore. That coupled, with the fact that he is the younger of cousin of Taz, put tremendous pressure on him to succeed.
Being Taz's cousin doesn't help him at all, as Taz has taken down his cousin several times, proving he shows mercy to no one.
After struggling through his "Rookie" year (a nickname he has happily dropped), Chetti began to work at improving his skills in the toughest wrestling company in the world.
He developed a unique finisher in the double springboard moonsault, and has used it to compliment his mat wrestling repertoire.
Recently, perhaps out of his growing comfort between the ropes, the formerly stoic Chetti has loosened up in the ring. He has even taken to dancing during his matches and expounding on his handsome appearance.
Don't allow his antics to deceive you, Chetti is a future champion in the making.

Year Turned Pro: Doring: 1998
Catch Phrase: "The coolest there ever was, the coolest there is, the coolest there ever will be."
Championships Held:
With his arrogant behavior and cocky "Dastardly strut", it's hard to believe Doring is only entering his second full year in the sport.
A college football standout, Doring went through the grueling training at ECW's House of Hardcore wrestling school, so maybe he has a reason to be confident.
He's also got to have a high opinion of himself to wear the pink and purple ring garb he sports (usually with the words "Muffin Ass" emblazoned across his derriere).
Doring has impressive mat skills, and is slowly building an arsenal off the top rope. He regularly teams with the Amish Roadkill, in an unusual pairing to say the least.
If belief in yourself was rewarded with championship gold, Doring would hold the triple crown. In reality, he is just starting his ECW career, but it is a career filled with promise for him.

Holding perhaps the oddest family tree in ECW, the Dudleys are always accompanied by their half-brother Sign Guy Dudley, and "The Quintessential Stud Muffin" Joel Gertner. Although well versed in the ring, the Dudleys don't want to wrestle.

After becoming a two time ECW World Tag Team Champion with former Gangsta Mustafa, teamed with old rival John Kronus to win the belts a third time. Whether it's individual or tag team competition, New Jack's style never changes. It's kill or be killed in the ring for him.
