Jay Sulli, a devoted wrestling enthusiast, was selected to be the inaugural play-by-play announcer for Eastern Championship Wrestling's initial television broadcast in 1993. At the time, the organization was still in its early stages of development, and Sulli's appointment marked a significant milestone in the company's history.
Sulli's partner in the commentary booth was Stevie Wonderful, who served as the color commentator for the show. The duo's chemistry and banter added a unique dimension to the broadcast, making it an entertaining experience for viewers.
Jay Sulli's journey to becoming the voice of ECW began with a chance encounter with his friend, Stevie Wonderful, who was also the sound technician for the company. Stevie's connection in the organization led to Sulli being offered the position, which he readily accepted due to his deep passion for professional wrestling.
As the play-by-play announcer, Sulli brought a level of enthusiasm and energy to the broadcast, which resonated with fans and helped establish ECW as a major player in the world of professional wrestling. His tenure in this role lasted from the show's debut in April 1993 to September of the same year, when he was succeeded by Joey Styles.
