Superstar Recall: The Man That Never Had a Good Name

The change continues as I am not sure that I will heading back to the "Too Little Too Late" series before the end of the year. We will be shifting to another old series and recall one of the lesser known stars of late WCW. Early on in his career Jerry Tuite had some matches as member of Extreme Championship Wrestling on spot show events. However, Jerry's first taste of success would come as a member of WCW under the name of The Wall and interestingly enough he would also work for ECW on two house shows while under contract with WCW.

With names like Hellraiser, The Wall, Sgt Awol, Malice, and others it isn't too surprising that the man named Jerry never really had a lot of success in wrestling. Though most people would probably point to his in-ring ability as the reason his career never took off; based on him never really seeming comfortable in the ring over the course of his wrestling career. I remember The Wall standing on top of a hotel during a WCW Nitro in Florida laughing at Hulk Hogan looking more like a super villain than a wrestler. 

Overall his names were alright and his size really should've given him something to work with, but he was more like 911 and not enough like Van Hammer. Though some of you might think comparing The Wall to Hammer isn't really a good comparison, but I wasn't going to compare him to someone with talent. Now Jerry did go on to have a short run in TNA Wrestling during the early days of the promotion, but it didn't really last.
