Louis Mucciolo Jr. (February 10, 1971 â€" February 15, 1998) was an
American professional wrestler. He performed in Mexico under the ring
name Madonna's Boyfriend, for the World Wrestling Federation as Rad
Radford, and in Extreme Championship Wrestling and World Championship
Wrestling in the 1990s as Louie Spicolli. He is sometimes credited as
being the inventor of the Death Valley driver finisher and even wore
T-shirts in WCW stating it, though some say it was created by Joshi
wrestler Etsuko Mita.At the age of 17, Mucciolo began training with
"Big" Bill Anderson after the two met at a wrestling show held at the
Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. He debuted in 1988 aged 17, working
as a jobber for the World Wrestling Federation, using the ring name
Louie Spicolli and would continue to use this name in squash matches
until March 1995. His occasional appearances saw him lose to many of
the WWF's top stars, though he did register two victories in 1993,
defeating The White Knight (actually his trainer, Bill Anderson) and
The Lightning Kid. He also picked up a victory on March 13, 1995 over
Greg Davis, his last appearance before being repackaged.In 1989, he
traveled to Tijuana, Mexico with Tim Patterson and his trainer, Bill
Anderson, with whom he formed a stable known as "Los Mercenarios
Americanos" ("The American Mercenaries"). They were a trio of masked
villains who feuded with Los Villanos (Villano I, Villano III, Villano
IV and Villano V). The Mercenarios were forced to unmask in July 1991
and then disbanded in 1992.Spicolli worked on the independent circuit,
appearing with Herb Abrams' Universal Wrestling Federation as "Cutie
Pie". He traveled to Arizona in 1991, where he won the Interwest
Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Championship as "The Zodiac". After
several appearances in the WWF as an enhancement talent in 1992,
Spicolli returned to Mexico as "The Killer Blonde" and made several
appearances with Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling in Japan, before
getting fired by Atsushi Onita for throwing a bottle of urine out the
bus window. In 1994, Spicolli appeared briefly with Smoky Mountain
Wrestling, feuding with Chris Candido for the United States Junior
Heavyweight Championship. He left shortly afterward and joined
Asistencia AsesorÃa y Administración as "Madonna's Boyfriend", one
of Los Gringos Locos along with Eddie Guerrero, Konnan, and Art Barr.
He wrestled in a six-man tag team match at When Worlds Collide on
November 6, 1994, which, as of 2016, was the only pay-per-view that
AAA has held in North America. This exposure led to Spicolli being
offered jobs by many promotions.
