WRESTLER SUPERSTAR

Glenn Thomas Jacobs was born on April 26 1967 in Madrid-Spain, making him 36 years of age at the moment. The WWE list him as 7 feet tall, but most sources have him at 6'9". He is currently around the 280-300 pound mark. Jacobs was raised in St.Louis, Missouri & went to college at Northeast Missouri State. He currently resides in Tennessee with his wife & 2 daughters, where he also owns a gym.
The change came in January 1995 when Jacobs secured a position in Jim Cornette's Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW) promotion. He was renamed UnaBomb & won the SMW Tag Team Titles with Al Snow only 3 months later on April-7, when the duo beat The Rock 'N' Roll Express. Snow & Jacobs held the titles for 3 months before falling to the team of Tracy Smothers & Tony Anthony on July-6. It was at this stage that Jacobs' career was about to take a turn for the better. You see, the WWF had their eyes on Jacobs, and it was about at this time, when the WWF had a real affection for huge wrestlers. The first step was to send Paul Bearer & The Undertaker down to their affiliate SMW to get involved in a mini-feud with UnaBomb. On August-4, UnaBomb (Jacobs) wrestled The Undertaker at a SMW event called 'The SuperBowl Of Wrestling'. The Undertaker obviously came out on top of this match, but that match was the last piece of information that the WWF needed before signing Jacobs to a contract. Eight days later, UnaBomb & Snow got their rematch against Smothers & Anthony, but this time it would be in a 'Loser Of The Fall Leaves SMW' match. Needless to say, Jacobs was pinned by Smothers in that match & Jacobs was on his way out of SMW, but on his way into the WWF.
The WWF at this stage basically said that Jacobs & Rick Bogner (the man that portrayed the fake Razor Ramon) could now do anything. So they wrestled for a few months with the gimmick in Mexico's AAA. This resulted in more lack of enthusiasm from crowds, so Jacobs took Bogner with him back to the USWA for another try. Same result fortunately. I say fortunately because it must have finally got through that the fake Diesel gimmick was never, and I mean, never going to work. Jacobs resurrected his Doomsday gimmick & due to it going over fairly well with the USWA crowds, it resulted in a Heavyweight title shot. Doomsday finally won the USWA Heavyweight Title on July-13, 1997. He only held the title for approximately 2 months. Why? Because the WWF came ringing Jacobs' doorbell with yet another idea.
