In my eyes he is not a celebrity. Has nothing to do with profession. Guys like John Cena or Mysterio are celebrities, Raven....I just don't see him as one. Raven is a celebrity. He may not be a big one, but between ECW,WCW,TNA, and WWF/E he has had long term national exposure to a wide audience. I say that if there are at least a million people out there who you've never met, yet they know who you are then you are at least a minor celeb infamous, or famous. Anyway IQ is way overrated, as is Mensa. Yeah, anyone who was a wrestling fan in the late 90s (and that's a lot of people) would likely remember him. He's Z-list for sure, but he's still a celebrity.

He hangs out with Cousin Oliver and Kathy Griffin in the sewers of Hollywood.

One of the cooler stories I heard about Geena Davis was that she took up archery on a whim in her mid-30s. After only a few years of playing the sport, she was good enough to compete in the Olympic trials. She didn't qualify, but she ended up finishing in the top 20, which considering her age and lack of experience, was amazing. I'm pretty sure that I'd completely bomb the Mensa test. My ADD does me no favors when it comes to IQ tests.

He's had action figures made of him, was not only in video games but was on the cover art for them. He's a celebrity, even if not a super-mainstream one.

IQ tests are really only all that valid in the young, it is more learning potential than what you know, or so it is supposed to be.

Nice. Out of the ones with their IQ listed, the only one with a higher IQ than me(176, but I'm too damn lazy to do anything with it. ) is James Woods. For some reason, it just feels right. I feel ya buddy, I'm wasting somewhere between 165-170 over here.

Is CZW that indie promotion that just does crazy shit, like in that scene in "The Wrestler" with neon light bulbs and staplers and such? I don't care much for that kinda backyard style wrestling.
