After a back surgery in the early 90s during a break from wrestling, Jason received a call from
Paul Haymen.
Haymen wanted Jason to work with ECW, then Eastern Championship Wrestling. His first match with The Public Enemy vs Jason knight & Ian Rotten. This proved to Jason that two months after a back surgery was not enough time to heal.

the record it's wasn't "In The World" or "Alive" it was "On Earth" and Paul would correct you if he heard otherwise .
Jason would become the mouth piece for The Pitbulls The Eliminators, The Impact , and others . Unlike many managers Jason could wrestle and unlike his self indulged alter ego, he never minded whatever it took to make a match look good win or loose.Keep the crowd entertained and wanting more.
