Bill Alfonso (1995-2001)

  • Hot-Blooded: He was loud and angry.
  • Lawful Evil: This was his whole shtick as the evil referee: He was a heel who pissed off the fans by attempting to enforce the rules in a promotion that generally avoided them.
  • My Name Is Inigo Montoya: "I'M BILL ALFONSO, AND I'M THE SENIOR OFFICIAL HERE IN ECW!"
  • Non-Action Guy: Has said that the reason he and Tod Gordon put so much effort into their matches was because neither guy could wrestle and they didn't want the fans to think that they were half-assing it.
  • Only Sane Man: He was the only one who could keep RVD and Sabu on the same page if they were having a disagreement about something.
  • Perma-Stubble Of Evil: He always had a dirty, grubby stubbly beard.
  • Power Stable: The Florida Clique, in NWA Florida in the 2000s.
  • Red Baron: "Fonzie," "The Manager of Champions," "The Man Who Calls It Right Down The Middle"
  • Too Dumb to Live: He banned 911 from using the Chokeslam. During the third fall of the ECW Gangstas Paradise 2 out of 3 Falls Double Dog-Collar ECW World Tag Team Champions Raven and Stevie Richards vs. The Pit Bulls Match, Raven sent PB#2 through two tables, which, by 1995 ECW standards, was enough to get him stretchered to the back. Tommy Dreamer walked to the ring, put on one of the collars, low-blowed Raven, hit him with a DDT and pinned him. Dreamer and PB#1 celebrated the win and ring announcer Bob Artese was unsure whether to announce the Pit Bulls or PB#1/Dreamer as the new Champs. Alfonso came down and said that he approved 2 out of 3 Falls, which wasn't in the contract, and that the match was over because the Pit Bulls couldn't continue, which meant that they would have had to split up as a tag team. ECW Commissioner Tod Gordon came down and declared that the match was over when he said it was over. Meanwhile, Big Dick Dudley, then a member of Raven's Nest, made his way to the ring on crutches. Tod restarted the match and Fonzie knocked him down. Big Dick Dudley entered the ring, Chokeslammed Dreamer, and walked away. Alfonso said, "I'm allowing the Chokeslam tonight, because Tommy Dreamer, you're dreaming baby, you've never pinned Raven. The Chokeslam is on!" Cue The Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein," and heeere's 911. Fonzie protests but 911 finally gets his hands on him and FINALLY Chokeslammed Alfonso.note 
  • Would Hit a Girl: Yes, though Beulah definitely hit back.
  • Wrestling Family: His cousin is Dave "Fidel" Sierra aka The Cuban Assassin.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amishroadkillecw_551.jpg
  • Amish: Actually a case of off-camera Character Development. He started as a generic Jobber named Roadkill. Al Snow told him that he looked Amish.

  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: When she appeared in 1998's Living Dangerously, she interviews Justin Credible and he tells her he already has Beulah McGillicutty and he doesn't need her. Jenna tells Credible that she only tried to interview him because she was asked to. Now, Jenna says, she’s going to talk to who she wants to: Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer comes out, kisses Jenna, and walks to the ring to a massive pop.
  • Two Guys and a Girl: Her first appearance in 1997's Hardcore Heaven was being the valet for the Dudley Boyz, being even known as "Lady Dudley" that night.

Steve Corino 1999-2001

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/judgejeffjones_2400.jpg
  • Ascended Extra: Started as a ref.
  • Face–Heel Turn: And a doozy at that. He started as a generic referee. On October 18, 1997, he simply stood by and did nothing as the Dudleys ran in during the New Jack/John Kronus-FBI (Smothers/Guido) match for the ECW World Tag team Titles, beat up Kronus and threw Guido on top for the pin. He more or less disappeared until he reemerged in his "Judge" gimmick at ECW Guilty As Charged 99, January 10, 1999 and unleashed the debuting SID VICIOUS on Kronus. He later atoned for this by bringing in Uganda (Ben "Giant Kamala II" Peacock) and, more significantly, the returning Mike Awesome at Anarchy Rulz.
  • Hanging Judge: He'd randomly walk out before a match and declare some jobber "Guilty," and have Sid squash the poor guy.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thedupps.jpg
L-R: Jack, Puck, Bo

    Debuted in 2000 

Scotty Anton (Scott Antol) (2000)

  • Arch-Enemy: At first it was Rob Van Dam. After RVD's injury he became a Network sycophant without an arch enemy until Steve Corino left the Network, at which point Corino became the arch enemy.
  • Face–Heel Turn: Came into ECW as Rob Van Dam's friend, but backstabbed him to join up with The Network.
  • Finishing Move: The Clapper (Sharpshooter)
  • Heel–Face Turn: He faked one. He and Steve Corino were turning face against the Network, but while Corino's was genuine, Anton was just waiting for a chance to inflict maxiumum damage with a backstab.
  • Power Stable: The Network, led by Cyrus the Virus.
  • Tag Team: Spent some time teaming with Steve Corino while they were in the Network together.

Chilly Willy (William Jones)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chillywillyecw_6.jpg
  • Arch-Enemy: Da Baldies
  • Bash Brothers/Odd Friendship: With Balls Mahoney. A Soul Brotha from North Carolina and a Garbage Wrestler from New Jersey don't make for a typical team.
  • Gimmick Matches: At ECW November To Remember 2000, November 5, 2000, he and Balls Mahoney defeated Da Baldies (Angel and DeVito) in a Flaming Tables Match.
  • Red Baron: "Everybody's Favorite Homeboy." Rather than have a specific hometown, he'd be billed from wherever he was wrestling that night.

Tony Mamaluke (Charles John Spencer) 2000-2001

  • Big Applesauce: Legitimately born and raised in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.
  • Meaningful Name: Averted with his post-WCW name Tony Mamaluke. Mamaluke is an Italian insult translating roughly to 'knucklehead', but Tony got the name from Joey Styles' attempts at finding a better last name for him than Marinara.
  • Napoleon Syndrome: He didn't have it as bad as Little Guido did, despite being even a little bit smaller than Guido, but he didn't appreciate being mocked for his lack of size.
  • Power Stable: The Full-Blooded Italians in ECW and WWE, EV 2.0 in TNA.
  • Tag Team: The Full Blooded Italians, with Little Guido. The FBI had at various times other members, but post-ECW the core duo was always Guido and Mamaluke. He also had The Purists with John Walters in ROH.
  • Throw It In!: His name became Tony Mamaluke because ECW forgot to pick a new last name for him, and Joey Styles declared that 'Marinara' was too stupid to use. After stammering for a couple seconds he settled on Mamaluke after the team Tony had managed in WCW, and it stuck.
  • Took a Level in Badass: When he was brought in he was booked as somone who's bark was bigger than his bite, but he steadily improved, to the point that he and Little Guido won the ECW Tag Titles and Guido declared him a full member of the FBI. One could also see a second level in badass when he switched from non-wrestler in WCW to wrestler in ECW.
  • Writing Around Trademarks: TNA called him "Tony Luke" at their Hardcore Justice show since WWE owned the trademark on the Tony Mamaluke name.

The Musketeer 2000

The Prodigette (Angel Orsini) 2000-2001

Swinger (Joseph Dorgan) 2000-2001
