[edit] Career
Fullington debuted in Extreme Championship Wrestling in the early 1990s under the ring name Peaches alongside her husband, The Sandman. The name was a reference to the song "Mr. Sandman", which includes the line "like peaches and cream".
In 1994, while temporarily blinded following a match, The Sandman inadvertently struck Fullington. When The Sandman recovered and saw his tag team partner Tommy Cairo assisting Fullington to her feet, he attacked Cairo. The Sandman subsequently became estranged from his wife (claiming "life's a bitch, and then you marry one"), and Peaches became the valet of Cairo.
The Sandman, who had abandoned his "surfer" gimmick in favour of a "pimp" gimmick, claimed that Cairo had neglected to pay one of The Sandman's prostitutes, Woman, who had convinced The Sandman that Cairo had slept with both her and Fullington. The Sandman began harassing Fullington and Cairo, demanding Cairo "Pay Your Bills!" [2]
Following the highly-publicised caning of Michael P. Fay in Singapore on May 5, 1994, Fullington and Cairo faced The Sandman and Woman in an intergender "Singapore Caning" match on May 14, 1994. After Fullington and Cairo defeated their opponents, Fullington caned The Sandman's crotch until Woman threw salt in her eyes, enabling The Sandman to regroup and use his cane on both Fullington and Cairo. [2]
In late 1994, The Sandman was once again "blinded" after a lit cigarette was pushed into his eye during an "I Quit" match with Tommy Dreamer. The Sandman subsequently claimed that he would have to retire as a result, with Dreamer responding by dedicating the remainder of his career to The Sandman, and Woman blaming him for the injury and abandoning him as a result. During The Sandman's retirement ceremony at November to Remember 1994, Fullington attempted to reconcile with The Sandman, but was caned by the returning Woman. Woman threatened The Sandman, drawing Dreamer to the ring, at which point The Sandman revealed that he was not in fact blinded and attacked Dreamer. The Sandman went on to reveal that his "blinding" had been an elaborate ruse.
Fullington returned to ECW in 1996 during The Sandman's feud with Raven, with Fullington and her son, Tyler, assisting Raven in his matches against The Sandman. In early 1997, Fullington teased that she would leave Raven to join the Blue World Order by wearing a BWO T-shirt. The family reconciled in 1997 after Raven turned on Fullington and Tyler and The Sandman came to their rescue.
Fullington returned to ECW once more in 2000, assisting The Sandman in his feud with The Network. In the course of the feud, Rhino gored Fullington through a table at Living Dangerously 2000, piledrove her through a table at Hardcore Heaven 2000 and thrust her head into a toilet at Heatwave 2000. Fullington left ECW once more upon the cessation of the feud in mid-2000.
In 2002, Fullington appeared alongside The Sandman in Xtreme Pro Wrestling.
