Norman Smiley
- Actor
- Additional Crew
One of the most versatile professional wrestlers of all time, Norman
Smiley has wrestled in England, Mexico, Japan, and in the U.S.,
becoming very proficient in each wrestling style. He is most known for
his stay in WCW from 1997 to 2001. He spent the first couple of years
there as a low-card wrestler who mainly stayed unnoticed. He finally
got a push to mid-card wrestler in the fall of 1998. His first notable
feud was with Chavo Guerrero Jr. Norman stole Chavo's stick horse
"Pepe" and threw it into a wood chipper. He began carrying the remains
around in an urn. By the end of 1999, Norman had made his move to the
hardcore ranks of WCW, becoming probably it's most entertaining
champion of all time, regularly gaining undeserved wins with the help
of outside interference. He gained a reputation as a sissy, as he would
regularly, to the delight of his many adoring fans, scream like a girl
when being attacked or chased by his opponents. His patented dancing
move was the Big Wiggle, which he performed in the middle of his
matches, always getting a tremendous cheer. When WCW was bought by the
WWF in 2001, he stayed out of the spotlight for a year. He turned up in
Jeff Jarrett's new NWA-TNA on their debut show in the summer of 2002,
wrestling in their Gauntlet for the Gold battle royal to determine the
new NWA Champion. He has wrestled several more times for that
promotion, and he even wrestled in a few "dark" matches for the
WWE.
