Jamie Noble began wrestling in 1995 after being trained by ECW alumni Dean Malenko.

Noble appeard in WCW as part of the “Jung Dragons” faction under the name of  Jamie-San alongside Jimmy Yang and Kaz Hayashi.  Noble eventually unmasked and competed as Jamie Knoble to form a tag team with Evan Karagias.

Jamie Noble joined the WWE as a heel in June 2002 where he won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship and feuded with former ECW favourite Tajiri, The Hurricane and Billy Kidman. He was released in September 2004 when his steroid usage came to light following a staph infection.

After leaving the WWE he competed in numerous organisations including New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor (where he became ROH World Champion) as James Gibson.

Noble returned to the WWE in December 2005 and soon formed a tag team with former ECW competitor Kid Kash until Kid Kash was released from the company in September 2006.

With Noble’s status in Smackdown somewhat unclear, it would be a good opportunity for him to showcase his unquestioned talents if ECW was to expand. ROH fans would certainley like to see Noble and CM Punk go at it again!

Canadian born Ian Richard Hodgkinson rose to fame in Mexico’s CMLL promotion, where he overtook former ECW star Konnan as the companies #1 headliner.

In the late 90s, Vampiro was signed by WCW. He formed a stable with the Insane Clown Posse and Raven.  He would later form an alliance with Punk Rock Legends The Misfits.

In WCW Vampiro competed in several gimmick matches.  Vampiro had encounters with Sting, including a First Blood Match and Human Torch Match.  He would later face The Kiss Demon, in a Graveyard match.

After WCW went out of business, Vampiro appeard in CMLL and  All Japan Pro Wrestling.  In 2003 Vampiro competed in TNA for a short period of time, facing Raven in a Hangman’s Horror Match.

Vampiro has an intersting wrestling style, combining martial arts and a Mexican influenced arsenal of wrestling moves.  His attributes would bring something different to the ECW product and he has gained great experience in different match types over the years. However the prospect of Vamipro appearing in ECW are slim. Vamipro earned a reputation of being a moaner in WCW and has stated that he has no plans work for WWE. 

Val Venis is Sean Morley’s wrestling persona of well-endowed porn star. Before wrestling proffesional in the uSA, he compted in Canada, Japan and Mexico.

Val Venis debued in the WWF in May 1998. When he first enterd the federation he fueded with Japanese stable Kaientai (which inclued ECW alumni TAKA Michinoku).  He later won the Intercontinental and European Championships.
In 2000, Val joined the Right to Censor faction (headed by ECW original Stevie (then Steven) Richards. The group disbanded right before the Invasion storyline, Venis shortly disappeared from the WWF. He returned to WWE TV in 2002 and formed a tag team with Chuck Palumbo, before he sidelined due to injury.

After a stint as “Chief of Staff” under the name of Sean Morley, he began competing again as Val Venis, but has since become used as a jobber to the bigger stars in the federation. He has achieved some success in tag team competition, with Viscera, Lance Storm and more recentley Snitsky.

The ECW fans would welcome Val Venis to the roster, his porn star persona would certainly fit the brand and his in ring ability would make Val a useful addition.

Virgil Runnels III, known as Dustin Runnles to many in the wrestling world and Goldust to WWE fans, could certainly be a great addition to the ECW roster.

Before joining the WWE (then WWE) he competed in World Championship Wrestling, primarily in a tag team, before  winning the United States Title.

The character Goldust began in 1995 as a sexually ambiguous movie star, Goldust won the Intercontinental Championship and regulaly appeard in the later part of Pay Per View events. In 1998 Goldust began dressing up as different people, (such as Shaftdust, Manson Dust and Baby New Year) with Luna Vachon by his side. In 1999 Goldust feuded with Jeff Jarrett and former ECW favourite The Blue Meanie. Goldust was also planned to be behind the now infamous “GDTV” angle, but was released.

After a two year abscense Goldust returned to the WWE in 2002. He enjoyed success during this time period, winning the Hardcore Title 9 times and the tag team championship with Booker T. Goldut’s character evolved into a comedy character, much to the delight of the WWE fans.
After a brief stint wrestling in Japan and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Goldust returned to WWE Raw in 2005 and mainly competed in tag team action with Snitsky. He was released from his WWE contract after missing a scheduled appearance to deal with a personal court case between Runnels and his ex-wife (Terri/Marlena) without informing WWE officials first.

During his time in WWE, Dustin showed many different aspects to the Goldust character and competed in many different match types and styles, perhaps one day Goldust will bring shatterd dreams to the likes of The Sandman and Sabu?

Marty Wright’s was offerd a WWE contract after due his outstanding performance in the Tough Enough reality TV show. 

After learning the trade in OVW, Smackdown fans were introduced to the Boogeyman. For a while The Boogeyman would appear backstage on and continue recite different nursery rhymes and screaming his catchphrase.
