Jim Black

Hard-bodied and slim. Bruce Lee in his prime would be the best comparison, though oddly enough you could also say Jim Black looks like a taller Tobey MacGuire from Spider-Man (or Spider-Man 2 if you liked that move better).

This desciption is a little dated, but nevertheless true. And really, it was the best of the three.

Black cargo pants for easy movement.
Jim Black is also known to carry Stick, which is his trademark broom-handle wrapped in black electrician's tape.

Why does he have so many broom-handles? Best not to ask.

Jim Black is cocky and confident. He has a bad habit of getting on peoples' bad sides just by being himself.

He has not changed much.

Jim Black debuted in the FFWA (Later FWA) in 2000. In his first night he won their world title.

Later, much later it was revealed the fed head and he were pals all along, thus casting the legitimacy of his title win in some doubt.

He was the first champion of the FFWA's second era, and he was also the last. When the WWA bought and absorbed the FWA, many of the FWA's roster invaded under the direction of "The Dark Man" also known as the Don (the name "Dark Man" was to given to other people as well, but let's not bore you with plot-holes).

Jim Black ledthe charge, culminating with his defeating the then WWA Champion, Nikodemous Segier, in a title unification bout.

Eventually he lost the title and a whole series of amusing shenanigans occured to put the FWA Invasion out of everone's minds. Jim Black went on to be injured in a match with Kris Kasanova, and the imjury was further aggravated in a match against TJ Donaldson.

And so ended Jim Black's first adventure in the WWA.

Two years later, out of the blue (or black if you prefer) Jim Black returned. His return occured in and about the same time two other WWA legends made their returns. Black, however, seemed to believe only he was rightfully welcome in the WWA and the other two had to be stopped. His solution was to bring in none other than former WWA "star" Showtime. Around this time it was speculated Jim Black was not "altogether there anymore."

Black and Showtime made a fair showing of themselves, at one point even unseating tag champions Havoc. But it seemed Jim Black's dementia seemed to spring up again, and he all but disappeared from the WWA again.

In the subsequent years he moved to Japan where he honed a more brutal strong style to complement his previous moveset.
