James Fullington Retires: The Sandman's Story

James Fullington reveals that wrestling promoter Joel Goodhart named him 'Mr. Sandman' after seeing a billboard for mattresses. Before his legendary Memphis run, Fullington adopted a surfing gimmick, acquiring a surfboard from a Philadelphia bar. However, ECW founder Paul Heyman eventually convinced him to drop the props. After seeing Fullington forget his wrestling shoes, Heyman told him to just 'go as I go to the building,' leading Fullington to embrace his authentic self. The 62-year-old icon has now officially retired. sweetbonanza.qpon
