Mister Saint Laurent (MSL), born Jared David St. Laurent,[1][2] is an American professional wrestler.
His great-grandfather, Louis St. Laurent, was the twelfth Prime Minister of Canada from November 15, 1948, to June 21, 1957.[3] He is also known for his long running feud with Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose.[4] The rivalry was chronicled in Classic Rock Magazine.[5][6][7] MSL's website (M.SL) is the only one character domain name that has been allowed by the West African country Sierra Leone, which controls the .SL extension. The registration has caused some curiosity among those in the domain industry.[8]
Wrestling career
Mister Saint Laurent began his career in the late 1990s and credits Duke Droese with his initial training. Mister Saint Laurent won the Florida Heavyweight Championship in 2004,[9] but didn't rise to prominence until forming a tag team with "Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko in 2006.[10] Later that year, he began working as a broadcaster for Ring of Honor, using the name "Jared David."[11][12] On April 18, 2008, Mister Saint Laurent won the AWA World Tag Team Championship[13] and was ranked that year by Pro Wrestling Illustrated as one of the top 500 professional wrestlers in the world.[14] His longtime valet is Total Nonstop Action Wrestling star So Cal Val.[15][16]
In 2010, Mister Saint Laurent created Scott Hall TV,[17] a reality series starring himself, Scott Hall, Larry Zbyszko, Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman. The show quickly generated over a million views and attracted attention for showcasing behind the scenes footage starring so many well known wrestlers.[18][19][20][21] Reports also surfaced in 2010 that Mister Saint Laurent had been hired by the famous Wilpon family to help start a new wrestling project.[22][23][24] In 2011, Mister Saint Laurent worked with several former WWE executives on a reality series starring former UFC champion Frank Shamrock in his quest to legalize Mixed Martial Arts in the state of New York.[25][26]
Mister Saint Laurent began hosting a podcast for Major League Wrestling at the beginning of 2012.[27] Notable guests have included Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins,[28] The Ultimate Warrior,[27][29] Montel Vontavious Porter,[30] and Robert Flores from ESPN.[31] In the Summer of 2012, Mexican wrestling legend Konnan joined MLW Radio as MSL's co-host.[32]
Guns N' Roses controversy
In 2007, MSL was credited for leaking “Chinese Democracy,” “The Blues,” “I.R.S.” and “There Was A Time" from the then still unreleased Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy.[33] This began what eventually turned into a several year long feud between MSL and Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose. It was reported in early 2011 that MSL received a copy of Axl Rose's unpublished autobiography as well as several other sensitive documents.[34][35][36] Axl Rose issued a public statement confirming the legitimacy of the material, but insisted everything was preliminary in nature and did not have his approval.[37][38][39][40][41]
