Titles Held WWF Light Heavyweight Champion
ECW World Heavyweight Champion
Short Bio
Jerry trained in Minnesota with Eddie Sharkey, and made his debut in the local PWA indy fed. He won every title there, before moving on to Dallas and more indy glory. Received a try out for the WWF, before signing to WCW.
Was mainly used as a jobber, before being masked and called Mr JL, and getting a mid-card push. Indeed, he had a match against a certain Robbie V (RVD) but with things unlikely to improve, he jumped to ECW, where he found his spot.
Got over big time with the fans thanks to his high flying ability, and mat-work, combined with his immense work rate, it wasn't long before he was involved in main event level feuds with Chris Candido, Lance Storm & Justin Credible, and then moved on to work with Rob Van Dam again. The two guys ripped house shows across America apart with their five star matches, before being set loose on TV.
The matches were even better than previous ones, and with ECW now being the 'in-thing' both Lynn & Van Dam were huge stars. The PPV blowoff matches between the two will go down as all-time classics. Unfortunately, before either man could capitalise on it, they both suffered major injuries at nearly the same time.
While RVD did TV work, Lynn was nowhere to be seen, rehabbing as quickly as possible. While doing some exercises at his local swimming pool, he saved a local boy from drowning, and was giving a bravery award from the Mayor of Minnesota. Held off TV until RVD was ready to renew their feud, he finally took a win off RVD at the Hardcore Heaven PPV, and used that victory to springboard himself into title contention, taking the strap from Justin Credible at last.
He held the title briefly, before passing it on to Steve Corino. Had one final match with RVD in ECW's farewell show, and that was all she wrote with Jerry's ECW career. Signed for the WWF and in his first match on TV, won the Light Heavyweight Belt from Crash, which he still holds.
Has yet to be put into any proper feuds, but has shown he is a force to be reckoned with in the WWF midcard. A strong feud could put Jerry to the forefront of everyone's minds once again.
