ECW was known and still remembered to this day for being a promotion that helped revolutionize the wrestling business by blurring the lines of what was real and scripted while introducing a more edgier in-ring product with a focus on hardcore and technical wrestling matches.
Whipwreck worked for ECW from 1993 to 1998 before having a stunt in WCW in 1999 and returning until the promotion went out of business in 2001. He has worked on the independent scene since then.
While with the promotion, he was a triple crown champion as he won the World Title once, was a two-time World TV Champion, and three-time ECW Champion. Whipwreck’s last match was in mid-December.
In a post on Twitter, Whipwreck noted that he is dealing with post-concussion syndrome. He wrote the following:
“Woke up feeling like my brain is underwater. Combined with the near constant headache behind my eyes, it means a day of wishing shit was over off and on all day. Lifetime of post concussion syndrome makes for a lovely existence.”
We wish Whipwreck a speedy recovery.
