Extreme Championship Wrestling

In April 1992 he arrived in Eastern Championship Wrestling, the precursor to Extreme Championship Wrestling, changing his name to The Sandman. After a brief period where the Sandman gimmick was that of a surfer, Tod Gordon suggested that Fullington channel his own personality into his character. Fullington agreed and evolved into the Extreme Icon, Sandman, a harsh, abrasive, anti-social brawler who smoked cigarettes and drank beer on his way to the ring, and sometimes even during a match, often crushing the can on his forehead and thus causing himself to bleed. As The Sandman, Fullington began carrying a Singapore cane to the ring during his 1994 feud with Tommy Cairo as a reference to the caning of Michael P.

His most notable storylines in ECW included his feud with Cactus Jack, which culminated in a series of Barbed-Wire matches. He also spent the time period from December 1995 through May 1997 engaged in a bloody war with Raven. Raven "brainwashed" Sandman's son to join his cult-like following and turned him against his father. Raven got at Sandman by having his son deny his relationship with his father and perform Raven's taunt to slowly eat away at his father. This led to many bloody matches, in which Sandman's son interfered to help his father. After the match, the two embraced, but Raven came from behind with a Kendo Stick, and smacked his enemy. Steven Richards and the Blue Meanie came out with a giant wooden cross, tied Sandman down to it, and then lifted it up and "crucified" him.[1] At the time, Kurt Angle was backstage and the offensive angle caused him to leave and threaten a lawsuit if his name appeared on the same episode as the "crucifixion".[2] Raven came out and gave a questionable apology for his actions. To this day, Raven claims that the angle wasn't an insult to Jesus Christ, but an insult to The Sandman, by using religious iconography to convey an artistic standpoint. The footage of the "crucifixion" was never used by ECW and was not publicly seen until it appeared on the WWE DVD The Rise and Fall of ECW. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Rob Van Dam (born Robert Alexander Szatkowski on December 18, 1970 in Battle Creek, Michigan), is an inactive American professional wrestler. ...


World Championship Wrestling

In 1999, he joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He first appeared in vignettes promoting Raven as a spoiled rich kid and Fullington as his preppy friend, but the original plan to debut under this gimmick were scrapped due to negative fan reaction. He later debuted under the name Hak. Many believe that this name was derived from his longtime nickname "Hack", although speculation exists that the name was given to him because WCW's higher powers considered hardcore wrestlers to be "wrestling hacks".

Return to ECW

After leaving WCW in late 1999 The Sandman returned to ECW remaining with the company until it's demise in March 2001. On January 7th 2001 at ECW's last pay-per-view Guilty as Charged at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom, The Sandman won his 5th ECW World Heavyweight Championship in a three way dance with then champion Steve Corino and Justin Credible. However after The Sandman won the title the then ECW World Television Champion Rhino came out to the ring and challenged The Sandman to a title match right there and then. The Sandman accepted the challenge of Rhino and after a 60+ second match Rhino defeated The Sandman to become ECW World Heavyweight Champion, at just 25 years old, unifying ECW's two singles titles.

At One Night Stand, when Eugene made his way to the ring to read a poem expressing his love of ECW, The Sandman came out with his Singapore Cane and canedEugene to the back. Sandman received a great reaction from the fans at One Night Stand but his actions were vilified by Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler the next night on RAW, thus making him a heel on RAW but a face on ECW.

This gimmick escalated when Sandman confronted regular ECW fixture Mike Knox while he was attempting to stop his exhibitionist girlfriend, Kelly Kelly, in the middle of her weekly "exposĂȘ" strip show. The Sandman began a feud with Knox over this and eventually began teaming up with fellow ECW original Tommy Dreamer to take on Knox and Test in a feud that many felt symbolized the original vision of ECW (Sandman and Dreamer) vs. the "new" vision of ECW (Knox and Test).

RAW

On June 17, 2007, Sandman was drafted to the RAW brand via the WWE Supplemental Draft, making him the first ever original ECW wrestler since the rebirth of ECW to be drafted away from the brand. On the June 18, 2007 edition of RAW, Sandman debuted, going after Carlito with his singapore cane after Carlito ran his mouth too long for Sandman to bear, but Carlito ran away quickly. On the July 2, 2007 edition of Raw, Sandman had his first match on Raw, facing Carlito. Carlito won the match due to a disqualification when Sandman struck him with his cane after Carlito tried to use it on him. This started a feud between the two. Sandman did a similar thing next week when he lost to William Regal by disqualification, after hitting Regal and Carlito with his cane. The next week, Sandman faced Carlito again, this time winning when Regal attacked him. The Sandman was saved when "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan (who had a confrontation with Regal earlier that night) came down to the ring. At The Great American Bash he lost to Carlito in a Singapore Cane on a Pole Match. The Sandman lost in an battle royal to determine the new General Manager of RAW where he was the last one eliminated by William Regal.
