PROFILE
CAREER Joel Gertner started out as a ring announcer in ECW , but thanks to Shane Douglas , Gertner became a heel and started taunting or making fun of the 'good guy' wrestlers during their introduction to or in the ring. Most wrestlers usually made Gertner pay for his insults. He was turned into a Color Commentator by Taz and Bill Alfonso to counter-balance the influence of announcer Joey Styles , who they regarded as being biased against them. During this time, Gertner would become popular with the fans for his introduction which would consist of multiple sexual innuendos. Gertner later became the manager & ring announcer for the Dudley Boyz . He had to wear his now-infamous neck brace when he has hit by the move, ' Total Elimination ' ( Calf Kick & Sweep) by Perry Saturn & John Kronus (The Eliminators) at ECW Barely Legal in 1997. Despite the 'injury', Joel led the Dudley Boyz to 8 ECW Tag Team Title reigns until they left for the WWF . Joel then became a broadcaster of ECW on TNN along with Joey Styles. That led to a feud with broadcaster/manager/wrestler Cyrus "The Virus" . They fought each other in a match at ECW Anarchy Rulz 2000. Gertner came out victorious. When ECW went out of business, Joel went to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling for a short while. He was a part of ECW One Night Stand 2005 and Hardcore Homecoming . Both times, he came out as a surprise with his "Well, well, well!" opening. |
