Extreme Championship Wrestling

In the summer of 1999, Tuttle was hired by ECW as a part of their ring crew constructing and dismantling the ring before and after shows, In late 1999 at a houseshow in West Virginia, Tuttle was timekeeping the show when he was asked by Paul Heyman to get in the ring in between the matches and clean/wipe the ropes to make them less slippery, Immediately the crowd started chanting wooo wooo!, as he was doing this. Due to the crowd reaction and Tuttle's likeable backstage personality, Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer came up with the Towelboy name. After debuting the gimmick on several houseshows during the fall of the year, On December 3, 2000, at the "Massacre on 34th Street" pay per view live from New York City, "Towel Boy" made his official ECW live PPV television debut interfering in a match between Tommy Dreamer and C.W. Anderson. "Towel Boy" also made a cameo at ECW's final PPV "Guilty as Charged" once again getting involved and helping Tommy Dreamer in his battle with CW Anderson.
