Recap of The Messiah on America's Most Wanted
Submitted by Robert Fallon on Sunday, September 22, 2002 at 1:02 AM EST

Last night Americas Most Wanted did a feature on wrestler The Messiah getting attacked. To open the segment they show clips of a WWE event from a feature they had last season that involved a WWE fan getting attacked.

Indy wrestling is explained, showing how wrestlers will do anything to get noticed and make it to the big time. They talk about the life of a wrestler and how most have normal day jobs and even help set up the rings themselves.

William Welch aka The Messiah is interviewed and clips of him wrestling is shown. AMW mentions he has a cult following, they show a fan with a Messiah tattoo. Welch says that fan may regret that.

The story of his attack begins. Welch was playing video games at home, he heard people come in and thought it was his friends. Turns out it was two attackers who put him in a chokehold and held him down. Then he saw garden shears, they cut his thumb clean off. He tried to getaway but was hit with a chair and a fishtank was thrown at him. He mentions they wanted to cut off his penis, but he fought them off and they ran away.

He has no idea who the attackers were or were his thumb is. Investigators were looking at indy feds and at his the real life troubles with indy promoter Rob Black. Welch claims he and Blacks wife (porn star Lizzy Borden) had an affair.

Rob Black wouldn't comment. They show Welch coming back to indy wrestling at a tribute show set up for him. He said something like this is not going to stop him of living his dream as a professional wrestler.

They ended the segment by showing artists drawings and descriptions of the suspects which can be seen here:

Answer 3

cryptoscripto is exactly right.

Although it has never been proven that Rob Black had anything to do with the attack, its pretty clear he did.

Rob Black is a scumbag of a human being and he and his wife were heavily involved in the pornography industry which is notorious for having dealings with the Jewish Maffia. This kind of thing certainly fits the M.O. of a contracted hit, and the Messiah was very lucky to survive that attack.

Answer 4

Rob Black is a scumbag that got raped in prison.
