Real Name: Jerry Lynn Also Known As: Mr. JL, The New F'n Show Date of Birth: ... From: Minneapolis, Minnesota Height: 5'9" Weight: 212 pounds Finishing Move: Cradle Piledriver Famous Quote: ... Jerry Lynn was one of wrestling's best kept secrets for several years. Making a name for himself on the independent circuit, Lynn criss-crossed America, making stops in several of the top wrestling territories. Lynn's first major exposure came while wrestling in Jerry Jarrett's CWA promotion based out of Memphis. Lynn left Memphis for the Mid West where he primarily competed on indy shows in Minnesota and Michigan. It was while competing in the Minneapolis-based Pro Wrestling America promotion that Lynn first gained critical recognition for his high-flying matches with Sabu and the Lightning Kid (aka Sean Waltman). From there, Lynn moved on to World Championship Wrestling, donning a mask and going by the name of Mr JL. He faced Sabu at Halloween Havoc '95, one of the few PPV appearances he made while in WCW. After being mindlessly misused, Lynn left WCW and briefly appeared in the WWF where he took part in light heavyweight division matches. Once again his talents were misused, so he then went to ECW. Competing primarily in tag team matches his first few months, Lynn gained glowing praise from hardcore fans for his fantastic feud with Rob Van Dam. A well-travelled veteran, Lynn has toured Japan several times, incorporating aspects of Japanese Puroresu with an accomplished mat game and an aerial assault. He's known for putting his body on the line in order to win, and his "never say die" attitude has resulted in fans referring to him as the "new f'n show".
