Eric Tuttle (born July 15, 1982) is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with Extreme Championship Wrestling from 1999 to 2001 under the ring name Towel Boy. He is also known for his appearances with independent promotions such as Ring of Honor, Combat Zone Wrestling and Pro Pain Pro Wrestling.
In the summer of 1999, Tuttle was hired by ECW as a part of their ring crew constructing and dismantling the ring before and after shows, In late 1999 at a houseshow in West Virginia, Tuttle was timekeeping the show when he was asked by Paul Heyman to get in the ring in between the matches and clean/wipe the ring ropes to make them less slippery for the highflying wrestlers like Yoshihiro Tajiri and Super Crazy. Immediately the crowd started chanting wooo wooo!, as he was doing this. Due to the crowd reaction and Tuttle's likeable backstage personality, Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer came up with the "Towel Boy" name. After debuting the gimmick on several houseshows during the fall of the year, On December 3, 2000, at the "Massacre on 34th Street" pay per view live from New York City, "Towel Boy" made his official ECW live PPV television debut interfering in a match between Tommy Dreamer and C.W. Anderson. "Towel Boy" also made a cameo at ECW's final PPV "Guilty as Charged" once again getting involved and helping Tommy Dreamer in his battle with CW Anderson.
Towel Boy made his debut at the very first ROH show in 2002 The Era of Honor Begins wrestling Prince Nana, after the show Prince Nana formed an alliance with Tuttle as Nana was going to take him straight to the top, however Tuttle had to become his servant, Nana & Tuttle were unsuccessful at the next ROH show against Da Hit Squad and immediately parted ways.
