| Biography | Jeremiah Blackwell is the only child from a single mother who ran a small
convenience store on the outskirts of Plano Texas. Blackwell grew up watching Texas Championship Wrestling on TV and dreamed of being in the ring with the likes of Bobby Starr, "Dirty" Dick Valentine and The Wrangler. Upon graduating high school, Blackwell turned down a football sholarship with Texas A and M so that he could fulfill is lifelong dream and wrestle in TCW. He was turned away due to his lack of talent, but that didn't discourage the kid from Plano. Blackwell went back to Plano where he took a job as a ranch hand by day and spent his nights as a bouncer at the local Plano honkey tonks where he learned to fight with the best of him. In 1989 Blackwell returned to the TCW several pounds heavier and with a chip on his shoulder. This time he was accepted and he started living his dream. But the price was high. During his fifth match in the TCW, Blackwell suffered a serious neck injury by one of the men he idolzied "Dirty" Dick Valentine. The injury kept him out of the wrestling ring for three years while he underwent five surgeries to correct cracked vertabraes and a pinched nerve. In 1994 Blackwell was cleared to wrestler but instead of going back to TCW, he ventured over to Europe and the German Wrestling Federation. There he made a name for himself through his tenacious hell bent for leather attitude and his penchant for injury opponents for no other reason than just for the hell of it. After a bloody feud which saw him win the Germanic Heavyweight Belt off of "The Scourge" Rolf De Beers, Blackwell was persuaded by Bobby Starr to come back to TCW with the promise that he could exact revenge on Dick Valentine but destroying his son JR Valentine. So in the spring of 1995 Blackwell resigned from the GWF and headed back to Texas where he threw himself into a bloody war with Valentine that saw no clear winner. But something else was gained. Respect. But unfortunately things happened too late. In December 1996, TCW closed it's doors and Blackwell was left without a place to showcase his talents. That was until "Le Chien Fou" Henri Chartier and Maple Leaf Wrestling offered him a chance to break bones in the Great White North. With Bobby Starr's blessing Blackwell head north where he soon became the most hated man in a federation that was sorely lacking a good heel. In 1998 Blackwell became engaged in a hot feud with both "The Canadian Icon" TJ Phillips and Curtis Bladehawk that saw the MLWA World Heavyweight and Canadian Championship belts on the line. But the odds were stacked against the Texan, but help finally arrived in the form of a young upstart kid from El Paso named "Shotgun' Garrett Davidson. Davidson stood by the side of Blackwell and helped him win both the World and Canadian belts at the same time. The first person to do that at that time. After dropping the belts at the PPV End Of Days, Blackwell turned to tag wrestling and with Davidson the team known as Southern Comfort was born. Blackwell remained in the MLWA until 2002 where he decided to once again head back to the states in particular the MSWA so that he could be closer to his ailing mother. |
