Back in Extreme Championship Wrestling, it is like the Sandman never left.
A three time former ECW World Heavyweight champion, the Sandman is the ultimate anti-hero in the world of professional wrestling, and that's just how loves it.
With a pre-match workout of firing up a cigarette, popping open a cold brew and smashing the can against his head to draw blood, the Sandman epitomizes the Extreme Attitude of ECW.
An incredible popular mainstay in Extreme Championship Wrestling from it's birth, the Sandman truly is ECW's Hardcore Icon.
He lets it all hang out in the ring, preferring to rely on his primal brawling instincts rather than wrestle.
It means nothing for the Sandman to crack his opponent with his trusty Singapore Cane, or suplex a table on their head, or wrap his body in barbed wire to create a human barbed wire battering ram.
The Sandman's wars with Tommy Dreamer were a turning point in the "Innovator of Violence's" career, and the two maintain a strong friendship to this day deriving from that mutual respect.
The Sandman's wars with Raven took mental and physical pain to an all new extreme, as Raven enlisted the Sandman's exwife and son as a way to defeat the Sandman.
The Sandman's wars with Sabu created some of the most violent and brutal encounters ever seen in wrestling.
In the end, the Sandman reigned supreme, all the while teaming with Dreamer to protect the borderlines that separate Extreme Championship Wrestling from other promotions.
When Justin Credible became the fastest rising star in ECW, he needed to defeat the Sandman in order to rise to the upper echelon.
After a short feud with the Impact Player, the Sandman found himself bowing out due to a myriad of injuries.
Credible adopted the Singapore Cane and the "Hardcore Icon" moniker as his own. It appeared the Sandman would never be seen again.
The definition of "Never again" was changed forever on a fateful evening in October 1999 when the Impact Players and Rhino had attacked Tommy Dreamer and Raven.
The lights in the ECW Arena went out, and in the Eagle's Nest of the Arena, the Icon had returned home! Clearing the ring, the Sandman and his old friend Tommy Dreamer celebrated by chugging a few cold ones as the ECW faithful roared in approval.
Since his return, the Sandman has gone back to what he does best, dishing out hardcore punishment to the likes of The Impact Players and Raven.
Like he had never left, the Beer Chugging, Cigarette Smoking, Cane Swinging Son of a Bitch is back in Extreme Championship Wrestling, looking to reclaim his proper status as "Hardcore Icon!"
