3	Alfred Poling (born January 22, 1957) is an American {{Professional Wrestl\|ing}}er from UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity best known for his work in Wrestling/{{ECW}} from 1994-1996 as 911. He debuted in 1990 after training under [[Wrestling/LarrySharpe "Pretty Boy" Larry Sharpe]] and competed in the independents before arriving in ECW in 1994. His first role was as [[AscendedExtra the anonymous handler who wheeled]] Wrestling/{{Sabu}} down to the ring, which changed when he was officially named at ''ECW The Night the Line Was Crossed'' on February 5th. He left ECW in early 1996, making only a couple of appearances after. He was a {{Jobber}} in Wrestling/{{WCW}} in 1996-1997 as "Tombstone." He has worked for various independent promotions in the New York-UsefulNotes/NewJersey area ever since. Among his in-ring achievements, he is a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/nj/cwa/nj-nwa-lh.html NWA World (New Jersey) Light Heavyweight Champion]], a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/nj/japw/japw-h.html JAPW Heavyweight Champion]] and in 1994 ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated'' named him "Rookie of the Year."

5	!! "These tropes have been chokeslammed by 911":
6	* ArchEnemy: Wrestling/ShaneDouglas, Wrestling/BillAlfonso, Wrestling/{{Taz\|z}} (after his heel turn).
7	* BashBrothers: Taz, Sabu
8	* BigDamnHeroes: Made the save for Tod Gordon at ''ECW Hardcore Heaven 95'' when Shane Douglas was beating him up after Gordon had "fired" him, chokeslamming Douglas to send him off to WWE.
9	* TheBigGuy: 6'8 and over 300 lbs.
10	* EmergencyServices: That's where his name came from, the idea being that you'd have to call them to help his opponents after his matches.
11	* FinishingMove: Chokeslam
12	* HellBentForLeather: Generally wore a leather jacket
13	* ''{{Leitmotif}}'': "Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group
14	* MundaneMadeAwesome: He's a big guy who Chokeslammed people. That's it, and the fans '''loved''' him.
15	* NoSell: [[Wrestling/{{TPE}} The Public Enemy]] defeated the Tazmaniac and Sabu on the January 31 (taped January 16th), 1995 ''ECW Hardcore TV''. 911 went to chokeslam the ref and Rocco Rock hit him with a chair, which 911 no-sold. Rocco tried again, and this time 911 responded...by chokeslamming Rocco.
16	* PapaWolf: Toward anyone who threatened [[Wrestling/PaulHeyman Paul E. Dangerously]].
17	* PowerStable: Hot Stuff International in NWA New Jersey.
18	* SquashMatch: Of course. The only real move he had was the chokeslam, so his matches would often consist of him just chokeslamming the other guy and pinning him.
19	* WinBackTheCrowd: Invoked at ''ECW Hardcore Heaven 95.'' There was a tag team match with Chad Austin and The Broadstreet Bully (Tony Stetson) vs. Donn E. Allen and Dino Sendoff that featured blown spots, with the crowd turning on it and Joey even ''[[LampshadeHanging saying]]'', "This match isn't very good," and, figuring that the match probably wouldn't make TV, using it to take a shot at ''[=WCW=] Slamboree'', a [=PPV=] which, from 1993-1995, would feature RingOldies along with wrestlers from the regular roster. Then "Frankenstein" hit, bringing out Paul E. and 911. 911 chokeslammed all four guys to the cheers of the crowd.
20	* WouldHitAGirl: He chokeslammed Shane Douglas' valet Angel.
