4	Jeremy Lynn (born June 12, 1963 [[UsefulNotes/TwinCities Minneapolis, MN]]) is a retired American {{professional wrestl\|ing}}er best known for his work in Wrestling/{{ECW}} from 1997 until the promotion closed in 2001. He debuted in 1988 and worked in various independents in the Midwest and as a TV {{Jobber}} for Wrestling/{{WWE}}. He first got noticed for his series with [[Wrestling/SeanWaltman The Lightning Kid]] in the [[UsefulNotes/DFWMetroplex Dallas]]-based Global Wrestling Federation. Wrestling/{{WCW}} picked him up in 1995 as a masked jobber named "Mr. JL." While he was not pushed, he did get to make his [=PPV=] debut in a loss to Wrestling/{{Sabu}} at ''WCW Halloween Havoc 95.'' He debuted in ECW in September 1997 and went right into a feud with the debuting Justin Credible. His most high-profile work in ECW was his series with [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-tv.html ECW World Heavyweight Champion]] Wrestling/RobVanDam in 1999. While he never defeated Van Dam for that title, he ''did'' defeat Credible for the ECW World Heavyweight Title at ''ECW Anarchy Rulz 2000''. After ECW closed, WWE brought him in and he debuted by defeating Crash Holly for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/mexico/uwa/wwf-lh.html WWF World Light Heavyweight Title]]. He lost the title to Wrestling/JeffHardy a little over a month later and WWE released him in February 2002.

He has also competed for Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, Wrestling/{{SMW}}, Wrestling/RingOfHonor, Wrestling/{{MLW}}, Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} and many independent promotions.
