10 Former ECW Wrestlers who are still wrestling

Chris Jericho of the rock band Fozzy was among the original ECW performers

#7: Duane Gill

Duane Gill has had a very interesting career in professional wrestling, to say the least. He made his debut in 1990 and with WWF he was used as an enhancement talent for much of the 1990s, wrestling various matches against The Undertaker, Kamala, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Sgt. Slaughter. He even had a one-off victory in an enhancement match where he and tag team partner Barry Hardy wrestled as knock-off Ninja Turtles known as The Toxic Turtles.

Gill was part of ECW in its early days. He was documented to have been part of shows in 1993, also wrestling alongside Hardy in that promotion.

Arguably, the peak of Gill's career was when he portrayed Gillberg, which was WWF's attempt at mocking Bill Goldberg. Gillberg made a returned to WWE last year as part of Kevin Owens' feud with the returning Goldberg.

Duane Gill remains active on the independent scene, having won the ICW High Stakes Championship back in February. He and fellow WWE enhancement favorite James Ellsworth have since teamed together in matches and won the ACW Tag Team Championships.
