The Sandman Retires: Origin of Iconic ECW Gimmick

Fullington says Philadelphia promoter Joel Goodhart gave him the name after seeing a billboard for 'Mr. Sandman Box Spring.' He acquired a surfboard for his Memphis run by asking a bouncer at a Philadelphia bar to take one off the wall. Upon returning to ECW under Paul Heyman, Heyman famously broke the surfboard and told him to wear whatever he wanted, leading to the iconic 'no wetsuit, no shoes' persona. asg-reflektory.pl
