The leader of the Full Blooded Italians, The "Sicilian Shooter" Guido Maritato is one of the most well rounded performers in Extreme Championship Wrestling.
Once upon a time, Maritato was overlooked as a mid-card performer, but that time is far behind this shooter. In the last few years, Maritato has worked his way up the ladder of success, proving each and every detractor and critic wrong by stringing together an impressive series of victories.
Bringing a strong amateur wrestling and shootfighting background to the ring with him, Maritato was trained by the legendary Billy Robinson and has competed in the UWFi in Japan.
Possibly the best conditioned wrestler in Extreme Championship Wrestling, Maritato can take you out from all angles. Whether he's forcing you to tap on the mat, knotting up your body with kicks or flying through the air, Maritato can adapt to and excel in any wrestling style.
Always accompanied by the massive Sal E. Graziano, Maritato was once overlooked by his opponents because of his past associations, but now, when he steps inside the squared circle, Guido Maritato shows his scientific prowess and no one is laughing anymore.
