During the match, however, he injured his knee, and after aggravating the injury in subsequent matches with Awesome and Lance Storm was forced to take several months off to recuperate. He was also in the main event on some occasions, such as the 2000 Guilty as Charged pay-per-view, where he faced Mike Awesome for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, in a losing effort. Teaming with multiple people, including Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman, New Jack, and Nova, he defeated them to win the ECW World Tag Team Championship with his partner Balls Mahoney on two occasions in 1999.

This incident was incorporated into the ECW TV introduction for years.Īfter his storyline brothers, D-Von and Bubba Ray turned on him, he was involved in a scripted rivalry with them for several months. The fans caught him and proceeded to body surf him around the ECW Arena. In one memorable moment in not only Spike's career but in ECW history in general, Bam Bam Bigelow threw Spike from the ring, over the top rope, and into the crowd. A storyline with Bam Bam Bigelow saw him on the end of two pay-per-views defeats, however, at Hardcore Heaven and As Good as it Gets.

He quickly gained the nickname "The Giant Killer". His initials (LSD) and finishing move (a corner-running three-quarters facelock bulldog named the "Acid Drop") were both drug references and, at times, he would stare at his hands waving in front of him as if he were on a trip. His in-ring persona was that of the "runt" of the family. Hyson debuted in Extreme Championship Wrestling in August 1996, and gained fame as "Little" Spike Dudley, as a part of the Dudley family. He quickly began training to be a wrestler as well, and spent the next three years wrestling on the California independent promotions.Įxtreme Championship Wrestling (1996–2001)

In May 1993, Hyson entered All Pro Wrestling's "Boot Camp" in Hayward, California to train as a referee and manager. During the documentary Beyond the Mat, a heavily bleeding Hyson delivers the line "I shall, I do" (Henry IV of England's response to a request by Sir John Falstaff in the Shakespearean play Henry IV, Part 1) when questioned regarding his favorite quote from Shakespeare. Prior to his wrestling career, Hyson received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, and was a third grade English teacher.
