A man of few words, that does his talking in the ring...
Jerry
Lynn claims that he wrote the book on cruiserweight, light
heavyweight, x-division, style wrestling, a statement not easily
backed up. However it is easily seen in his matches, as Jerry Lynn
destroys his opponents, both gracefully and brutally.
However
wrestling such a dangerous style of wrestling has taken it's toll on
"The New F'N Show", Jerry Lynn. During his lengthy time in
the sport Lynn has broken both feet, both ankles, both hands, his
right arm, his pelvic bone, his nose, as well as suffering (what
would be for others a career ending injury) a torn abdominal as well
as a torn patella tendon.
Jerry
Lynn has been a part of the "big three" (WCW, ECW &
WWE) and currently wrestles for both the World Wrestling Allstars,
and NWA: Total Nonstop Action.
In
Extreme Championship Wrestling, Jerry Lynn actually broke the 23
month winning streak of Rob Van Dam, and then climbed to even
greater heights by defeating Justin Credible, to become the ECW
Heavyweight Champion.
During
his tenure in the WWE, Jerry Lynn would capture the WWF Light
Heavyweight Title from Crash Holly, in his WWF television debut.
Obviously Jerry Lynn is a believer in making ground breaking first
impressions, as his WWA debut was just as memorable, and twice as
surprising!
Jerry
Lynn shocked the wrestling world (as there were few who knew he and
WWE parted ways) by debuting with the WWA at their second pay per
view (live from Las Vegas) Revolution, where only
moments after Eddie Guererro won the WWA International Cruiserweight
Title, Lynn attacked the champion, and challenged him to a match at Eruption.
Eddie
and Jerry would not face each other for the title, as Eddie would
move onto sign with the WWE. However in it's place the world would
first be exposed to, what would later be referred to as one of the
greatest wrestling feuds in recent wrestling.
It
is in the WWA where Jerry Lynn vs. AJ Styles first took place. If
you think their match ups on NWA: Total Nonstop Action, are fast
paced, in your face, and (excuse the cliché) jam packed of total
nonstop action, nothing can beat the original match that took place
at WWA's third pay per view Eruption!
AJ
Styles would defeat Jerry Lynn on this occasion, also capturing the
vacant WWA International Cruiserweight Title.
The
AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn saga continued in NWA: Total Nonstop
Action, where AJ and Jerry Lynn would be a part of the match to
crown the first ever X-Division champion, and would also later go on
to wrestle alongside each other, rather then against each other, and
capture the NWA Tag Team Titles.
Fast
forward to May of 2003, Jerry Lynn captured WWA gold, winning a
mini-tournament in Sydney, Australia (21/5/03), defeating the NWA:
Total Nonstop Action X-Division Champion at the time, Chris Sabin.
However
the celebration would not last long, a successful defense in
Melbourne,
then Jerry Lynn would travel to New Zealand, to compete in a four
way cruiserweight match, that would unify both the X-Division and
WWA International Cruiserweight Title, at The Reckoning.
This match was referred to by some as the best match in WWA's short
history. Unfortunately Jerry Lynn would not be the victor this time,
with Chris Sabin, the X-Division champion, pinned Frankie Kazarian,
using the "Future Shock".
