Jim Fullington, a professional wrestler more commonly recognized by his moniker The Sandman, achieved a notable milestone on April 15, 1995, by defeating Shane Douglas, the reigning ECW World Heavyweight Champion, for the title at the ECW Hostile City Showdown event.
However, Shane Douglas, the champion, was left disgruntled by the officiating, arguing that the referee had mistakenly counted Shane's shoulders down to the mat while The Sandman was applying a submission hold.
