Valente, a native of
Tracey Smothers and Tommy Rich departed the company, leaving Graziano to manage Little Guido on his own. He feuded with Spike Dudley.

Together, managed by Graziano, the group feuded with Mikey Whipwreck and Yoshihiro Tajiri, a team led by The Sinister Minister, over the ECW World Tag Team Championship. Graziano defeated Balls Mahoney at Heat Wave (2000) making it his only pay-per-view victory.[2] His biggest victory was when he defeated Scott Hall on November 11, 2000.[3]
After ECW was bought by World Wrestling Federation in January 2001, Grazinao left the wrestling business and retired.
