Dean Malenko
Psicosis debuted in the United States-promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling in September 1995, facing Mysterio Jr. in a critically acclaimed bout at Gangstas Paradise. Psicosis was recruited by ECW booker Paul Heyman – who was seeking new talent to replace Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko, all of whom had recently left the promotion – at the recommendation of Konnan.
