JRH Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yeah, there's a guy you pretty much never hear anything about. While watching some old Thunder episodes, i came across a match with Blitzkrieg vs Kidman. I remember being impressed with this guy when i first saw him, and while the match was pretty good, im not sure if his style still holds up as he basically did the typical cruiserweight stuff, and in fact Kidman seemed to carry the match. Are there any matches out there from his brief run (i think was only around from February 1999 to September 1999, and then he literally disappeared from wrestling altogether) where he really shines?

NotJayTabb Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 The opener to Spring Stampede 99 with Juvi is generally considered his career peak, I believe. Blitzkrieg kept up with Juvi pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I remember him being a big smark favorite at the time, but then he disappeared into thin air. What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkdoc Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I remember him being a big smark favorite at the time, but then he disappeared into thin air. What happened? went back to the indies for a little bit, gave his gimmick to someone there, became a computer programmer IIRC. i think Meltzer said he was the only person to win Rookie of the Year in the WON then get out of the business by next year.

goc Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I thought I remembered reading that he quit wrestling due to injuries but can't find anything to back that up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bierschwale Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 He gave Jack Evans the gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 And then in his first match wearing the Blitzkrieg gear, Jack promptly slipped off the top and fell on his head and damn near killed himself. I think he took it as an omen, he only used the gimmick on two or three other occasions when he was doing comedy matches with a masked partner. IIRC, the guy's job as a computer tech actually paid better than his WCW salary, so he just decided that wrestling wasn't worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bierschwale Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Blitzkrieg: the only person ever underpaid by WCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
