[edit] Trivia

• Jason Arhndt was real life friends with the Hardy Boyz, and came up with them on the independent wrestling circuit. Jason, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, and Marty Garner carried Mabel and his throne out to the ring the night after King of the Ring 1995.

• Rochester Wrestling Assocition (RWA) Wrestler A.I. Carruthers (Andy Boccacino) was supposed to be a play on Joey Abs- as he was the leader of the group spoofing the Mean Street Posse. The group also payed homage to Jason by naming one wrestler Mikey Pecks- an obvious play on the name Joey Abs.

• Worked as an "enhancement talent" for the WWE in the mid-1990's. Towards the end of his run with the company, he managed to defeat Stonecold Steve Austin (in a handicap match).
