Jay Ross

Jay Ross is a former professional wrestler from Southern California, best known as Blitzkrieg.

Career

He debuted on November 7, 1994 and received bookings in Mexico (and purportedly Japan, though little to no record of a Japanese tour exists) before returning to America and signing with World Championship Wrestling.

Blitzkrieg made his WCW debut on Nitro in 1999 wrestling against Rey Mysterio Jr. Over the next few months he wrestled the likes of Juventud Guerrera, Billy Kidman, and Silver King on Thunder. Blitzkrieg would face Guerrera for a second time at WCW Spring Stampede. He also unveiled a new ring attire at Spring Stampede, different to the one he had used since his debut. Blitzkrieg officially made his way into the record books on an edition of Nitro later in the year. On an edition of Nitro, Psicosis defeated Blitzkrieg, Rey Mysterio, and Juventud Guerrera on Nitro for Rey Mysterio's Cruiserweight Championship. Although Blitzkrieg neither won or lost the title in the bout, he was involved in a match where a title changed hands, writing his name in history. He would be involved in WCW for a short while longer, engaging in more battles with Mysterio and on an edition of Saturday Night, he had a match with Eddie Guerrero. Blitzkrieg left WCW in late 1999 to work his main job at a computer company where he made more money but still worked on the independent wrestling circuit, primarily in Southern California, for a short time.

On December 12 2004 he handed his gimmick and mask over to Jack Evans. Jay Ross now works as a computer technician.
