[8.0] "Johnny Hotbody, real name John Weiss, was one of the most successful wrestlers during the formative years of Eastern Championship Wrestling. Trained by Larry Sharpe at the Monster Factory, he made his professional debut in 1988 and quickly established himself on the Philadelphia wrestling scene. He made history in April 1992 by defeating Jimmy Snuka to become ECW Heavyweight Champion, and later became the promotion's first Television Champion after beating Larry Winters. In 1993, he formed the Suicide Blondes alongside Chris Candido, with Chris Michaels later joining the group, and enjoyed considerable success in the tag team division. Hotbody was also involved in a lengthy rivalry with Tommy Cairo and eventually teamed with former rival Tony Stetson. Although he never became a major name outside the independent wrestling scene, he was a genuine cornerstone of early ECW and one of the promotion's original champions."

[6.0] "Seemed like he was from Memphis but he was East Coast, a bit of a Bill Dundee/Brian Christopher middle ground? Good body language, great facial expressions. Good moving, ability to get quite fast while remaining fluid. S H O R T. So very, very short. Cagematch says 5'10 but he's barely 5'6 if that. Score is a 6.25 though. Again; he moves very well, you won't get zero effort type stuff from him."

[5.0] "Eh, he was nothing special, none of his matches moved me any and his look was just average. His only notable feat was being the first ECW triple crown champion, you will never be able to take that away from him though. At least he has that."
