NICKNAME/EXTRAS: "The NEW F'N Show"
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5' 9" / 210 lbs.
FROM: Minneapolis, MN
FAVORITE MANUEVERS/WRESTLING STYLE: Lynn is a technically sound mat
wrestler and a noted high flyer, a combination that makes for some truly excellent
matches, and that means he pairs up well against a wide variety of opponents. Lynn
catapulted to stardom with the creation of his new finisher, the Cradle Piledriver, which
sees Lynn stuff his opponent into the mat in vicious fashion.
CATCHPHRASES/INTERVIEW STYLE: Lynn doesn't speak much, prefering
let his in-ring performance do his talking for him.
HAVE I SEEN HIM BEFORE? Lynn was "Mr. JL" in WCW for a
few years back around 1995-96. Lynn wrestled under his own name a few times for the WWF as
they got their Light Heavyweight Division in order in '97 before signing on full time with
ECW. If you remember the GWF that aired on ESPN about 10 years ago, you might have seen
Lynn early in his career as a major player in that organization, where he feuded memorably
with the Lightning Kid (now known as X-Pac).
KEY FEUDS/MATCHES: Lynn's first real feud in ECW, after years as a
preliminary wrestler, is his current issue with Rob Van Dam. It's been this series of
matches, in which he's been the first to take TV champ RVD to the limit, that has helped
his star rise to its current status. Other than that, Lynn's most memorable feud probably
was his GWF feud with the Lightning Kid, which produced some great matches and memories
for the otherwise lackluster ESPN-produced wrestling show.
WHY SHOULD I WATCH HIM? You'll be seeing a star of tomorrow today.
In the past year, Lynn has deservedly gone from an underutilized preliminary wrestler to a
hugely over babyface contending for the TV Title. And he's done it all on the strength of
his in-ring performances. Give him another year, and have him get comfortable behind the
mic, and Lynn could be a future ECW World Champ.
