I will tell a good story. He used to talk Filsinger games with me on occassion and wanted to start playing eventually. (He was a fan of the old superstar pro wrestling game)
One night he called me and said “I wonder if I could get them to do a release of myself, Brian Christopher and Kevin Lawler as the YellowJacket”
Like two days later, Brian was released in the promoter prime set, lol.

Indy hardcore wrestler Supreme passed away Supreme used to team up with Joey Kaos (who is in the game as vOodOo kAos with an official CWFH card) as Supreme Kaos. Here is sime more information about Supreme from the SoCal Uncensored website earlier today: Supreme (real name Lester Perfors), one of the biggest stars in Southern California pro-wrestling of the 1990s and early 2000s, and easily the biggest star of deathmatch wrestling in the region’s history, died earlier today due to a heart attack. He was 49 years old.
Supreme started his wrestling career in 1995, Supreme gained early notoriety teaming with Kid Kaos (Joey “Kaos” Munoz) and feuding with his trainer Crayz and Tech IX. The feud between the two teams took place throughout California in the late 1990s, ending with the formation of XPW.
With the formation of XPW, Supreme became known on a national level. He won XPW’s first King of the Death Matches Tournament and was awarded the promotion’s King of the Death Match Championship. He would hold that championship four times in total.
During his time in XPW, Supreme went on his first tour with the legendary Japanese promotion FMW. In FMW, he teamed with Homeless Jimmy to win the WEW Hardcore Tag Team Championship. Supreme also made it to the finals of XPW’s second King of the Death Matches Tournament before losing to Vic Grimes and won their third tournament.
After the close of XPW in 2003, Supreme traveled throughout the world, continuing to compete in deathmatches. He has appeared in Big Japan, IWA, GCW, AWS, and NGX, among others.
On July 20, 2019, Supreme was one of the inaugural inductees into the Santino Bros. Death Match Hall of Fame. While he wasn’t as active in recent years as earlier in his career, Supreme was still actively wrestling. He was scheduled to wrestle Eli Everfly in a death match at the March Santino Bros. event before the show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supreme is survived by his wife Karen and son Kano.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help Supreme’s family as well. |

 Former Indy Wrestler ‘Sexy Baby’ Jamie Jackson Passes Away at 44 Former independent wrestling talent ‘Sexy Baby’ Jamie Jackson, who worked the Ontario area during the 1990s and early ’00s, has reportedly passed away. WWE referee Darryl Sharma revealed on Twitter that Jackson, real name Jamie Asher, passed at the age of 44. No cause of death is yet known. Asher never made it to the international stage as a wrestler, but he did come close a couple of times. Born in Winnipeg, he was trained by and debuted for Steve Buckley’s Renegade Wrestling Alliance, working his first match for the company as “Wildcat” Jamie Jackson in September of 1995. He would eventually join the stable known as the Hollywood Hunks, who at one point had a meeting with WWF Canada president Carl DeMarco although no deal was ever reached. Jackson worked out of Ontario, including runs with the HWF in London and Apocalypse Wrestling Federation in Toronto. He was a three-time RWA Heavyweight Champion and held the HWF Tag Team Championships along with his Hollywood Hunks stablemate Custom Made Man. He worked a tag team dark match for a 1999 WCW Nitro taping in Cleveland, Ohio and got work for a couple of larger wrestling-adjacent projects: an extra in NBC’s 1999 TV movie The Jesse Ventura Story and the music video for Bif Naked’s cover of Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” that was part of the Ready to Rumble soundtrack. REPORTED ON FACE BOOK BY MIKE "FORTUNE" DELVE He posted this I found out yesterday that one of my former Indy wrestler brothers passes away. Jamie Asher aka “Wildcat” Jamie Jackson or “Sexy baby” Jamie Jackson as he was also known. When I first turned pro in the RWA Jamie was the champ and was one of the first guys to come up to me and try to get to know me. He was a great worker and a great guy and I wanted to work with him in the RWA. He had a storyline that he needed a tag partner so I wore this sign around bugging him. We never did work together in the RWA, but we did do a few matches in another promotion where we traded wins back and forth. When he quit wrestling he dropped off the map and put that part behind him. I will miss him and think about our time together in and out of the ring. |
