[1] He is best known in the United States for his appearances in Extreme Championship Wrestling where he was part of The Full Blooded Italians faction from 1998 to 1999.
Born in Hildesheim, Germany, Ulf Nadrowski was a local swimming champion in his native country and also did some Judo before he decided to get into wrestling.
In Vienna he began performing for a small promotion, and he wrestled his first match on August 27, 1989, under the name Ulf Ranger, which he won.
[4] He returned to Germany, working for small promotions, but earned a tryout in the World Wrestling Federation as "Herman the German".
On August 16, 1997, Herman was defeated by Marshall Duke in Vienna for the then vacant CWA World Heavyweight Championship.
At A Matter of Respect, Herman and The Equalizer served as Danny Doring's cornermen in his match against John Kronus.
[8] On August 28, 1998 Tommy Dreamer, The Blue Meanie and Super Nova beat Jack Victory, Danny Doring and Herman.
While Herman slowly faded away from ECW in the coming months, he still earned various title shots against Rob Van Dam and Sabu, but the matches did not garner any real interest.
[10] He was among the dozens of challengers who faced Rob Van Dam during his two-year run as ECW World Television Champion.
[1] On September 23, 2000, Hermann defeated visiting American wrestler Bruiser Mastino in Schmedenstedt, Hannover during the ex-WWF star's tour of Germany.
On February 9, 2002, Herman took part in one of the FWA's biggest shows, 'Revival', which featured a "European vs. United States" storyline, where he defeated Brian Christopher at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.
[1] Herman was unavailable for Invincible due to a personal commitment, but he returned to face both Iceman and Martin Stone in a European Deathmatch.
After a heated hardcore match, Herman hit a brainbuster/suplex through a flaming table on Iceman to gain the pinfall and become the 1PW World Heavyweight Champion.
It was later announced that he would defend his title for the last time against Sterling James Keenan in a steel cage match at the 2nd Anniversary Show on October 13, 2007.
Afterwards, Keenan accepted Herman's gesture in handing him the belt, but declared that he would now pillage 1PW for all he could and that he didn't care about the fans or his fellow wrestlers.
Aside from his wrestling career, Nadrowski worked as a bodyguard on tour with bands such as 3 Doors Down, System of a Down, Slipknot and Rammstein.
