AHA!

 

Shootfighter Jerry Flynn, from the World Combat Championships!

 

Jerry Flynn is LEGIT!

 

From DVDVR #96:

 

 

WORLD COMBAT CHAMPIONSHIP

Jerry Flynn v Fred Floyd
(NAIMARK)

Yep, THAT Jerry Flynn, WCW jobber extrodinaire and drunk-driver!  Back in
1995, Flynn looked identical to his current incarnation, save the presence of
that gawdawful "mullet" haircut that Ernest Miller thankfully severed.
Longtime Friends of Foghat will remember the 340lb Fred "The Mangler" Floyd
from his ability to catch multiple punches with his face against Igor
Vovchanchin in the International Fighting Championships in Kiev.  Prior to
the match, they show a vignette with Flynn training in...his apartment?  Who
remembers the old days of wrestling-mag "apartment wrestling" Ah, for the
days when a jailbait Nancy "Woman" Daus used to pull hair and grimace
against "Lady Vixen" on the pages of Inside Wrestling.  Anyways, the match
starts and Fred Floyd is a house of fire!  Well, maybe a house of warm
blubber, but that's enough!  He swarms Flynn and throws wild, flinging
punches with both hands, several of which connect!  Flynn gets smothered in
a flabby waistlock and taken to his back.  Floyd continues to flail away,
realizing that if the match goes more than 3 minutes, he's screwed anyway.
Flynn tries desperately to defend, but he lacks the groundfighting skills to
rebuke the assault of a guy who outweighs him by 100+ lbs.  Flynn finally
flips over to his stomach, which is a safe move against a plodding no-talent
like Floyd.  In a sudden burst of energy, Flynn manages to reverse his
position, scooting out from under Floyd's gelatinous bulk and taking HIS
back!  Will Flynn go for the rear-naked choke?  The elbow strikes to the
back of the head?  The MulletSault?  No, for some bizarre reason, Flynn
wants to reach all the way over Floyd's bloated carcass and grab a wrist.
His balance thrown off, Flynn is easily shrugged off of the bulbous Floyd
and finds himself exactly where he doesn't want to be - with a big fat
sweaty meatball on top of him, throwing punches.  Poor Jerry eats more
strikes, gets his arm twisted in a hillariously butchered keylock, and
finally taps out.  Once again, Jerry Flynn proves why he is the best jobber
in pro-wrestling today!  Even in a shoot, he's totally focused on making his
opponent look good!  That's the "Eye of the Jobber" for ya!

In the Goldberg thread - it was posted that Flynn was 2nd on the list in most matches against Goldberg during the streak.

 

He and Perry Saturn each had 10 matches. (The Giant was the run away leader with 21)

This has to be included in this thread. It starts with Stevie Ray and Perry Saturn. Then, you've got David Flair, Jerry Flynn, Buzzkill (Brad Armstrong), and Tank Abbott. On commentary, Mike Tenay and Juventud Guerrera. Everything about it is so random and what the fuck, but that's what makes it awesome.
