Santoni first joined the Full Blooded Italians in the original ECW at Heatwave 1996, introduced as Little Guido's "little" brother. He accompanied the stable members to the ring, and sporadically fought actual matches.
Santoni reappeared on World Wrestling Entertainment's ECW brand's One Night Stand on June 12, 2005 accompanying the Full Blooded Italians to the ring.[1][2][3] Santoni then reappeared on ECW on June 11, 2006 during ECW One Night Stand alongside Tony Mamaluke and Little Guido.[4] On the June 13 edition of ECW, Big Guido took part in the hardcore battle royal and was eliminated by The Big Show, but helped Sabu eliminate Big Show.[5]
In 2002, Santoni, under the ring name Primo Carnera won the International Wrestling Association's World Heavyweight Championship after the title was previously held up.[6] He lost the title the same day to Savio Vega.[6] In the following two months, he held the title two more times.[6]
