PWI 1994 Rookie of the Year: 911
“The question asked most when a fan sees the mighty 911 for the first time is: “Where did they find this guy?”
[...]
911 is not only big, he can wrestle. His finishing maneuver is a deadly chokeslam, in which he grabs his opponent by the throat, lifts him into the air, and drives him straight down to the mat. Considering 911 is 6′7″, with full arm extension the hapless opponent falls approximately nine feet before hitting the canvas!
“Yeah, its scary,” explained Donn E. Allen, who should be earning frequent-flyer mileage for the number of times he has been victimized by the maneuver. “This is going to sound strange, but when I’m up there, I can’t wait till he actually drives me into the mat. It’s so terrifying just being up there in the air like that, let alone by your throat.””
Runners-Up
Bob “Spark Plugg” Holly
“Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Bob “Spark Plugg” Holly entered the WWF in early-1994 and immediately proved he can hold his own amongst top-level competition. He has already given many veterans stiff competition in the wrestling ring. Constantly improving with every match he wrestlers, we expect him to get off to a fast start in 1995.″
Abbudah Singh
“This madman from Singapore set the independent scene on fire this year-literally! Singh set out to destroy every opponent he faced, including Abdullah the Butcher, whom he sent to the hospital with severe burns after a WWA match in New Jersey. Singh wants to take the Butcher’s place as the most sadistic man in wrestling. Yikes!”
Mikey Whipwreck
“For the love of the underdog in all of us, Mikey Whipwreck to the rescue! The 187-pound, 18-year-old Buffalo native held the ECW TV title earlier this year and, until recently, was a co-holder of the ECW tag team title with Cactus Jack. He may be undersized and lacking in talent, but he always gives his all, and he’s everybody’s sentimental favorite.”
Votes for Others
“Some of the top vote-getters who did not capture a runner-up spot include: Bryant Anderson, Frank Andersson, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Jesse Hennig, Moadib, and “Jungle” Jim Steele.”

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.
