Today would have been the birthday of Old School ECW Veteran “Big” Val Puccio.
Puccio also used to wrestle for the World Wrestling Federation during the early 90s, but only appeared on House Shows and never on TV.
A lot of 90s wrestling fans remember him for his 1995 stint in Paul Heyman’s Extreme Championship Wrestling, where Val was a member of The Full Blooded Italians, short “FBI”.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & REST IN PEACE
June 9, 1965 – January 7, 2011
