 How can the sexiest man on Earth apparently disappear of the face of the Earth? |

I was somewhat mildly aquainted with him at one time, although there's no way he would ever remember me.
In 2001-2003, he ran an indy show in Meriden CT and elsewhere. It was in Meriden once a month, every month, for like two years. They often had former ECW guys on the show, and Kid Kash and Chris hamrick were like main stays, and were there for like a year. I met Kid Kash about 12 times there, and he used to stop me and tell me about matches that were coming up on TNA tapings (no spoilers or anything like that, but just good matches) and things like that. I also met Balls Mahoney a few times, and I even hung around and played pool and stuff like that in the basement bar underneith the building with Balls Mahoney and Ron Zombie ect. It was in the middle of no where and you had all these guys that you see on tv just hanging around this small area with no guards or anything. Those were the times.
There would even be former WWE talent there, and even current (at the time) WWE talent there. In 2002(?) I saw Crash Holly and Steven Richards there, who were just hanging around and were with WWE at the time. Crash went into the small bar after the show, and I went too.
-A funny side story on that: I was about 18 at the time, and I was too young to drink, and I didn't drink anyway. There was this blonde girl I used to know, and her and her friend used to make a little fun of me in high school, but she was the nicer of the two. But, whenever something important or fun was about to happen, they would kiss my ass like never before. Like I said, the blonde one was the nicer of the two, but I had little doubt that her friend (the meaner one) had a crush on me, but just didn't know how to handle it.
Anyway, I went to these indy shows and one day I saw this blonde girl there. These two made alot of fun of me for my like of pro wrestling. This was funny. It was autograph time for all the indy wrestlers, and I guess she saw me there, and she came up to me from behind. Yep, it was asskissing time. She didn't have enough money for an autograph, and so she asked me as nicely as humanly possible for $5. I gave her the money, nice guy that I am (although she never paid it back) because I knew that the next her friend was going to make fun of me for liking wrestling, and was expecting her to join in, things were going to be much different indeed.
Anyway, I figured the funny part may have been this: I think he was either friends with, or was related to, a wrestler. Now before I continue, I must emphasize, although I was only aquainted with her, I could tell throughout the couple of years of knowing her that she was definitely not "that kind" of girl, if you know what I mean. She was a very funny girl, but she was innocent enough and she had her standards and all that. So, with that being said, I'm almost positive she got into the show for free.
I didn't know how at first, because after seeing her here and there, I began to realize that something didn't make any sense. She was siting in the front row, and she asked me for $5. Ok, mabe she spent her last dime on the ticket. But, after the show had just ended, I tried to get into the bar, but, they said that you had to be 21 to get in, and I was only 18. No one knew that there was a bar at the bottom, because the bar was new, so no one would bring a fake ID with them to get into a bar that was advertised as any age showing up but 21 only to drink, but then they changed the rules on the spot to only allow 21 year olds into the bar at all.
Anyway, after being rejected, I looked in, and there she was, walking around in the bar playing pool. I figured that she either knew somebody, or all these guys were a real sucker for a pretty face. She was in the middle of this underground dinky bar, in this crappy building on the bad side of town, surrounded by all these rough and tough guys and hanging with the wrestlers while I was stuck outside, and she was not "that kind of girl", and absolutely no one was hitting on her, or even going near her. Hmmmm...
I don't remember how, but I managed to smart my way into the bar and hang out. To this day, I don't remember the interaction I had with her when I finally made it into the bar and came face to face with her. I do remember she tried to remain low key, but this was a very small place, It had one table, a bar, and two pool tables and that's about it. I't was the size of a large living room and kitchen. All I know was that she was atleast as big of a wrestling fan as me. But, I didn't know how she got into the bar, how she stayed in the bar, and if she flirted her way into the bar, why the hell is everyone just leaving her alone? It's like she did everything for free.
Well, It turns out that the only guy that i was seeing her talk o was an Indy wrestler buy the name of Bull Dredd. Alot of us may have heard of him. I spoke with him briefly, and i don't remember much, but I think that the info I gathered within this span of 5 minutes way have implied that this girl is related to this wrestler in some way. Either that, or she's a really big wrestling fan who showed up to these shows so much that they just started letting her go for free. Either way, the bottom line is that she was a hug fan in secret and the cat shooting-star-pressed it's way out of the bag. Only big fans would have even heard of the show even though it was once a month, it was in a section of town that no one even wanted to look at.
Needless to say, the two girls never made fun of me about wrestling again. Also, as expected, the "mean" one of the two did an awful lot of hitting on me during my last 6 months of senior year. I guess time was starting to run out.
Anyway, that's my favorite Jason Knight story (that's the much cooler name he goes buy on the indies). I've met a ton of well knows wrestling personalities and have tons of great stories involving them. Whenever i think of jason Knight, I think of these days of ACW, they were probably nothing as fas as the wrestlers are concerned, but they were cool for the fans.
I am currently looking for Jason Knight right now. I recently found out that I live 20 minutes away for a wrestling school run by Jason Knight. I want to be a wrestler, and I've gone by the school before, but I don't know if It's still open.

I know he was at the first ECW ONS in 2005, but that's the last I can remember seeing him.

I never thought much of him, was he not just a lackey in the original ECW?

Somebody told him they didn't like his suit, he went into a crying fit and locked the door behind him.
I liked the character, he's definitely somebody I enjoyed seeing on TV - even if nobody else did.

He had a short feud with Taz in 1995. He shoved Taz through drywall to "injure his neck" (this was before the spiked piledriver later that year) and in October, Taz was a referee where Jason "wrestled" a debuting Konnan. ("Wrestled" meaning Jason got in Taz's face, mocked him, Taz punched him and Konnan pinned him.)
Then, Taz had an impromptu match with Jason where he locked on the Tazmission (for the first time), and Jason tapped out. Jason cried about how that was an illegal choke hold and he didn't lose, but they dropped the program.
