James Fullington, better known as The Sandman, is an US-American professional wrestler.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Fullington first entered the wrestling world as part of the Philadelphia-based Tri-State Wresting Alliance in 1989. He joined what would become Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1992, where he also formed his trademark gimmick as a chain-smoking, beer-guzzling tough bastard that stomped into the ring to a gentle lullaby from Metallica. His personality (and fondness for beating the crap out of people with his 'Singapore Cane' kendo stick) made him a popular pick for long and often brutal feuds against other wrestlers like Tommy Dreamer and Steve Austin.
Tempted by higher pay, The Sandman left ECW for World Championship Wrestling in 1999, but no longer being allowed to either smoke or drink beer in the ring meant he returned to ECW after a mere year. When ECW finally dissolved for good, The Sandman began a long chain of on-off associations with WWE/WWF, TNA, and various smaller roles in the independent circuit. Despite of his 'official' retirement from wrestling in 2008, he still makes sporadic appearances to this day.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
The Sandman solely appeared in 8chanmania X, where he formed a tag team with fellow ECW legend Big Dick Dudley. For all of their strongman antics, the two wrestlers were immediately cut up by the combine edge of Postal Dude and Coldsteel the Hedgehog.
