Tommy Cairo

In 1993, Cairo joined Extreme Championship Wrestling. Cairo was originally an ally of The Sandman, assisting him in his feud  with Jason. The alliance crumbled after The Sandman was temporarily blinded following a match and inadvertently struck his wife, Peaches. When The Sandman regained his sight and saw Cairo assisting Peaches to her feet, he attacked Cairo. The Sandman subsequently became estranged from his wife, and Peaches became the valet of Cairo.

Cairo and Peaches faced The Sandman and his new manager, Woman, in an intergender "Singapore Caning" match on May 14, 1994. After Cairo and Peaches defeated their opponents, Peaches caned The Sandman's crotch until Woman threw salt in her eyes, enabling The Sandman to regroup and use his cane on both Cairo and Peaches. The feud led to a "Cane on a Pole" match on June 24, 1994 at Hostile City Showdown that The Sandman won after retrieving a second cane from beneath the ring, and a "Dueling Canes" match on July 16, 1994 at Heat Wave 1994 that was also won by The Sandman.

In late 1994, The Sandman was once again "blinded" after a lit cigarette was pushed into his eye during an "I Quit" match with Tommy Dreamer. The Sandman subsequently claimed that he would have to retire as a result, with Dreamer responding by dedicating the remainder of his career to The Sandman. Cairo began mocking The Sandman, which led to Dreamer heavily beating him in a match on November 5, 1994 at November to Remember. During The Sandman's retirement ceremony, The Sandman reconciled with Peaches (Woman had abandoned him upon his blinding) before revealing that he was not in fact blinded and attacking Dreamer. The Sandman later revealed that his "blinding" had been an elaborate ruse concocted to trick Dreamer into hurting Cairo on his behalf. Cairo left ECW in 1995.

WCW Hall of Fame

The **WCW Hall of Fame** was a hall of fame maintained by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It was established in 1993 to honor superstars who began their careers long before the 1990s, mostly WCW alumni. Inductees received commemorative plaques that had their names and portraits inscribed on them. They were inducted by Gordon Solie, a senior commentator, and received their plaque during the "Legends Reunion" segment at WCW's May pay-per-view event, Slamboree. The WCW Hall of Fame was the second hall of fame established to honor superstars, after the creation of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) Hall of Fame in February 1993. After the 1995 Hall of Fame ceremony, WCW stopped the production of the Hall of Fame without a formal announcement. In 2001, the WWF acquired all of its assets; this led to the formal stoppage of the WCW Hall of Fame. The WWF, however, stopped producing its Hall of Fame ceremony after 1996. In 2004, the renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), reinstated the WWE Hall of Fame, which included inductees that were alumni of WWE and WCW.

The first Hall of Fame ceremony was held on May 23, 1993, at Slamboree 1993 in Atlanta, Georgia. The following Hall of Fame ceremony occurred on May 22, 1994, at Slamboree 1994 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The final ceremony was held at Slamboree 1995 on May 25, 1995 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Overall, there were 17 inductees.

Trinity made her return on October 7, where she lost to Jazz in a singles match at a house show. She lost to Jazz in a rematch the next night. On the October 31 episode of *ECW on Sci Fi*, Trinity won the first ever *ECW* Diva Halloween Costume Contest after being voted over Kelly Kelly and Ariel. On January 13, 2007, Trinity teamed with fellow *ECW* Diva Kelly Kelly in a losing effort to Michelle McCool and Jillian Hall at a house show. The following day, Trinity wrestled her final match in WWE, as she and Kelly lost to McCool and Hall in a rematch.

The NWA

### Members

Jeff Jarrett, Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, Barry Windham, Bombastic Bob, Bodacious Bart, Dan Severn

### Managers

Jim Cornette

On January 5, 1998, Jim Cornette brought Howard Brody and Dennis Coralluzzo to *WWF Raw is War* and made a match between Jeff Jarrett and Barry Windham for the new NWA North American Heavyweight Championship. Jarrett defeated Windham to win the title after Cornette interfered. On January 12, The Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) debuted and joined Cornette and Jarrett. The Rock 'n' Roll Express were awarded the NWA World Tag Team Championship and successfully defended the titles from The Disciples of Apocalypse by losing by disqualification on the January 12 *Raw*. At the 1998 Royal Rumble, Jarrett entered the Royal Rumble at number eighteen, but was eliminated a minute later by Owen Hart. The following night on the January 19 *Raw*, Jarrett successfully defended the North American Championship against Blackjack Bradshaw. After the match, Blackjack Windham turned on Bradshaw and joined the NWA.

By February 1998, Jarrett and Windham began to feud with Bradshaw, while The Rock 'n' Roll Express began to feud with The Headbangers. At No Way Out, Bradshaw defeated Jarrett by disqualification. Two days later on February 17, The Rock 'n' Roll Express lost the NWA World Tag Team Championship to The Headbangers. In March, the NWA lineup changed as Jarrett left the group on March 2 and reverted to his "Double J" persona and vacated the North American Championship. Cornette then awarded the vacated title to Windham. On March 17, after The Rock 'n' Roll Express failed to win the NWA Tag Team Championship from The Headbangers, they were kicked out of the stable after Cornette's new team The Midnight Express (Bombastic Bob and Bodacious Bart) attacked them. At WrestleMania XIV, the Midnight Express competed in the fifteen-team battle royal and finished as the runners-up. Barry Windham also appeared during the match and eliminated Bradshaw's partner Chainz, thus costing Bradshaw the match. The following night on the March 30 *Raw* *is War*, The Midnight Express defeated the Headbangers to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship. After the match, NWA World Heavyweight Champion Dan Severn debuted and joined the NWA by attacking the Headbangers.

After winning the titles, The Midnight Express feuded with The Rock 'n' Roll Express over the titles throughout April, with the Midnights coming out on top in every encounter, most notably at Unforgiven: In Your House. By May, the group began to shrink as Barry Windham left the WWF and Severn went on his own in the WWF. The NWA's last hurrah occurred at the 1998 King of the Ring, where they challenged The New Age Outlaws for the WWF Tag Team Championship, but lost. The NWA stable disappeared from television soon thereafter.

Trick Williams

On February 24, 2021, Williams signed a developmental contract with WWE and was assigned to the WWE Performance Center and subsequently the *NXT* brand. Later that year, he made his first appearance on the September 14 episode of *NXT* as the bodyguard of Carmelo Hayes. Williams made his in-ring debut on the October 5 episode of *NXT*, teaming with Hayes in a fatal four-way elimination tag team match for the NXT Tag Team Championship, where they lost to MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee).

Throughout 2022 and 2023, Williams accompanied Hayes in most matches. On the August 1, 2023 episode of *NXT*, Williams told Hayes that they needed to part ways so he could achieve his own accomplishments, amicably breaking up the Trick Melo Gang. On the September 26 episode of *NXT*, Williams became the number one contender to the NXT North American Championship by defeating Axiom, Dragon Lee and Tyler Bate in a fatal four-way match. A few days later at NXT No Mercy, Williams won the title by defeating The Judgment Day's "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. However, just three days later on *NXT*, Williams lost the title back to Mysterio after interference from Mysterio's Judgment Day stablemates Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley, as well as their associate JD McDonagh, marking it the shortest reign in the title's history.

Facing Nikita Koloff in a series of Russian Chain Matches, they eventually kayfabe injured Koloff's neck with the help of Dick Murdoch in April. They also had a series of matches with then-WCW World Tag Team Champions the Rock 'n' Roll Express, The Fabulous Freebirds and Jimmy and Ron Garvin. They would again lose to Ron Garvin and Barry Windham in a tournament for the vacant WCW United States Tag Team Titles and were eliminated in the opening round of the Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup by Bob and Brad Armstrong.

Later during the year, he would wrestle single matches against Barry Windham and Todd Champion during the year before losing to Jimmy and Ron Garvin in a tag team match with The Barbarian at The Great American Bash on July 4, 1987. Joining Paul Jones' Army with Ivan Koloff in late 1987, Petrov feuded with Ron Garvin, although he would lose that feud too.

Mamaluke debuted in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1999 as an unnamed fan of wrestler Lodi, debuting in a *Nitro Party* clip then appearing in an outdoor segment when Lenny Lane and Lodi were arriving at a show in New York. He then appeared as a fan invader during many of Lodi and his brother Lenny's matches until the angle was dropped when Lenny and Lodi were removed from television in late 1999.

He returned shortly as **Tony Marinara**, a New York mobster who managed the team of Big Vito and Johnny the Bull, who became known as The Mamalukes. His storyline included a feud with Disco Inferno, who owed his "family" money. At one point, the feud also involved Lash LeRoux. His last appearance came at the 2000 Souled Out pay-per-view. In an interview with Gene Okerlund, he said he had to take care of some business and then left, never to appear in WCW again.

Not long after his release, he started working in Extreme Championship Wrestling. He took on the name **Tony Mamaluke**. He joined The Full Blooded Italians, which consisted of Little Guido and Big Sal E. Graziano. His debut match was against Mikey Whipwreck on *ECW on TNN*, in which Tony Mamaluke took a couple hardcore bumps. Mamaluke was initially a member in training, until he became a full-fledged member when the tandem captured the ECW World Tag Team Championship from The Unholy Alliance on August 25, 2000, on day two of *Ballroom Blitz*. The two teams feuded for several months, with their respective managers, Big Sal and The Sinister Minister creating further conflict. They lost the titles, however, on December 3, 2000 at Massacre On 34th Street to Danny Doring and Roadkill. During this time, he also feuded with Super Crazy and Kid Kash. He stayed with ECW until the company was declared bankrupt in April 2001.

During 2005, WWE held a reunion ECW show entitled One Night Stand. Little Guido and Mamaluke appeared with other original Full Blooded Italians at the pay-per-view. In April 2006, WWE decided to revive ECW as a new brand, and Mamaluke was among several ECW alumni that signed contracts with WWE to participate as full-time competitors for the new *ECW*. Mamaluke debuted on June 7, 2006 at *WWE vs. ECW: Head to Head*, participating in the battle royal between ECW and a contingent of *Raw*/*SmackDown!* superstars.

Mamaluke made his pay-per-view debut at One Night Stand 2006, reviving his role as a member of the Full Blooded Italians with Little Guido; the duo was accompanied by Big Guido. The duo faced Yoshihiro Tajiri and Super Crazy in tag team action, picking up the victory. From there, he continued to team with Guido and was accompanied by Trinity. He only appeared sporadically on *ECW on Sci-Fi* in losing attempts in both singles and tag team action against the likes of Sabu, The Hardys, Mike Knox, and Test. The Full Blooded Italians appeared on pay-per-view once again on December 3, 2006 at December to Dismember, in a losing effort to Sylvester Terkay and Elijah Burke.

On January 18, 2007, Mamaluke was released from his WWE contract.
