Sean Allen Morley (born March 6 1971)[2][1] perhaps best known by his ring name of Val Venis, is a Canadian professional wrestler.[2][1] He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment wrestling on the Raw brand. During his career in WWF/E, Morley has held the Intercontinental Championship twice,[5] European Championship once[6] and World Tag Team Championship once with Lance Storm.[7]

Early life

Before becoming a wrestler, Morley was a motorcycle racer.[2]

Career

Training and early career

He began his wrestling training in the early 1990s under the tutelage of Jason and Dewey "The Missing Link" Robertson and debuted on the Canadian independent scene before making his way to the international circuit, finding work with All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) in Japan, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in Mexico and World Wrestling Council (WWC).[2] In Japan, he was known as Sean Morgan as the name Morley was difficult to pronounce due to the lack of phonetic differences between the L and R in Japanese. In Mexico, he adopted a robot-like mask and gimmick, changing his name to Steele and won the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship.[8]

World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment

Porn star (1998-2000)

Morley was signed to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the late '90s and given the gimmick of a (well endowed) porn star named Val Venis, something which grew out of Morley's own sense of humor. The character was introduced with a series of vignettes that showcased Venis' life style on and off the set, the most notable of these featuring Venis in bed with prominent real-life porn star Jenna Jameson.[2]

He debuted on May 18 1998 edition of RAW is WAR, defeating Scorpio.[2][9][10][3] Almost immediately, he was involved in an angle with the Kaientai stable, involving him having an affair with the wife of Kaientai's manager, Yamaguchi-San. As a result, the members of Kaientai had a series of unsuccessful matches against him.[2][11][3] Venis made his pay-per-view (PPV) debut at In Your House 23: Fully Loaded, defeating Jeff Jarrett.[2][12] On August 3 edition of RAW is WAR, his tag team partner TAKA Michinoku would eventually betray him, which led to him and Kai En Tai tying him up backstage where Yamaguchi-san attempted to castrate him with a sword.[13] The next week, however, he reported that he was saved by "a little shrinkage" and help from his friend, John Wayne Bobbitt.[14] He then challenged the four Japanese wrestlers to a match, which they accepted under the conditions that it must be a gauntlet match, meaning that Val would have to fight all four of them individually in one match. The match ended with Taka executing the Michinoku Driver on Val and getting the three-count, ending his undefeated streak.[15][10][2] The feud ended a week later, after Val fought Taka to a no contest.[16][2][10]

After feuding with Kai En Tai, Venis got his first title shot in the WWF at SummerSlam 1998 against European Champion D'Lo Brown for the European title. Venis was disqualified and as a result, Brown retained the title.[17][2] Venis got involved in a storyline where he slept with other people's wives. He started a feud with Dustin Rhodes, on September 14 edition of RAW is WAR when Venis showed Rhodes his new porn movie, including Venis in bed with Dustin's wife, Terri Runnels and she became his on-screen girlfriend. [18] The feud culminated in a match at Breakdown, which Val won.[2][19] After Breakdown, Dustin began using his original gimmick, Goldust again. On October 12 edition of RAW is WAR, Val participated in a tournament for the Intercontinental Championship, defeating Marc Mero in the first round before losing in the semifinals to the eventual winner, Ken Shamrock.[2][20] Venis continued his feud with Goldust and the two had a match at Judgment Day 1998, which Goldust won.[2][21] The two faced each other again at Capital Carnage, and Val went on to win the match, to end the feud.[2][22]

At the end of the year, he formed a short lived tag team with The Godfather, unofficially dubbed "Supply and Demand".[2] They began teaming on December 7 edition of RAW is WAR against The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw).[10][23][2] Their team only lasted a week, including a match against Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown at Rock Bottom,[2][24] and a match against Brood (Edge and Christian).[10][2][25] On February 1 1999 edition of RAW is WAR, he started a feud with Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock after Venis made a film starring him and Shamrock's kayfabe sister Ryan called Shaving Ryan's Privates.[3][2][26] At St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Venis defeated Shamrock with the help of Special Guest Referee Billy Gunn to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship.[2][3][27][28] The next night on RAW is WAR, Val however defended the title against the guest referee himself Billy Gunn and retained the title.[29][30]

A few days later, he broke up with Ryan and eventually lost the Intercontinental title to Road Dogg after only one month reign as champion.[3][2][29][31] Venis began a feud with Road Dogg and made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania XV, where he challenged for the Intercontinental title in a Four Corners Elimination match which also included former champions Ken Shamrock and Goldust but all the three of them failed to win the match.[2][32] Throughout the rest of the year, he found himself having "woman troubles" with Nicole Bass,[33] Chyna[34] and Debra[35][36]. Venis reunited with Godfather and they began challenging for the Tag Team Titles. On July 12 edition of RAW is WAR, they faced the champs Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff) for the titles, but Hardys retained the titles by getting disqualified.[29][2][37] Venis and Godfather started a feud with Droz and Albert. The next week on RAW is WAR, Venis & Godfather, Droz & Albert and Acolytes challenged Hardys in a fatal four way elimination tag team match for the titles, where Hardy went on to retain the titles.[2][29][38]

He started a feud with Steve Blackman and defeated him at Unforgiven 1999.[2][39] His next feud was with Mark Henry, whom he beat at Rebellion 1999.[40] He engaged in feuds (and wrestled) with several main eventers including The Rock,[2][41][42], Mankind[2][43][42][44] and Stone Cold Steve Austin.[2][42][45] In late 1999, Venis started a feud with European Champion The British Bulldog over the title. At Survivor Series 1999, Venis teamed up with Mark Henry, Gangrel and Steve Blackman to face British Bulldog and Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas and Joey Abs) and his team went on to win the match.[2][46] At Armageddon 1999, Venis defeated the champion British Bulldog and D'Lo Brown in a triple threat match to win the WWF European Championship.[2][47][3][48]

On February 10 2000 edition of SmackDown!, he dropped the European title to Kurt Angle, ending his two month reign.[2][49][50] At King of the Ring 2000, he participated in the King of the Ring tournament where he was defeated by Rikishi in the semi-finals.[51] This culminated in a feud between Venis and Rikishi which lead to Venis turn heel by aligning himself with then heel, Trish Stratus. With Stratus as his manager, and a new look - including a haircut, white boots and trunks - and the near total disposal of the porn star gimmick, he defeated Rikishi to win his second WWF Intercontinental Championship,[3][2][49][52][53] and aligned himself with Test and Albert.

They continued their rivalry as Venis defended the title in a rematch at Fully Loaded 2000. During the match, Venis was put over by taking a splash from Rikishi from the top of a 15-foot high steel cage and still going on to defeat Rikishi later in the match to retain the title.[53][54] Val's manager, Stratus, inadvertently lost Venis' Intercontinental title to Chyna in a mixed tag match involving Venis, Stratus, Chyna and her partner Eddie Guerrero at SummerSlam 2000.[2][55]

Right to Censor (2000-2001)

Main article: Right to Censor

Shortly after, Venis underwent a complete change in persona and became a member of the Right to Censor (RTC) stable.[2][56] Venis joined RTC after being kayfabe abducted by Bull Buchanan and The Goodfather (Venis' former partner, "The Godfather").[56][57] He became a censorship-based character, directly contrasting with his previously provocative on-screen character. RTC feuded with Acolytes and Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von), culminating in an eight-man tag team match at Unforgiven 2000, which RTC won.[58] At No Mercy 2000, Venis teamed up with Steven Richards to face Chyna and Mr. Ass. After interference from Eddie Guerrero, RTC picked up the win.[59] Venis started a feud with Chyna, culminating in a match at Armageddon 2000 which Val won.[60]

At WrestleMania X-Seven, RTC faced Tazz and APA in a six man tag match which RTC lost.[56][61] The next night on RAW is WAR, he faced the champion Kane for the WWF Hardcore Championship but lost the match.[2][62][63] Val stayed in RTC until they disbanded right before the Invasion storyline, feuding with Chyna and "The One" Billy Gunn during his tenure with the group. When RTC broke up and The Invasion began, Venis disappeared from WWF television while recovering from surgery on his hip to remove bone spurs from his motorcycle racing days. After recovering, he was kept off television along with several other wrestlers, for whom WWE bookers could not come up with any storylines.

Big Valbowski (2002)

Venis returned to action back in his old gimmick, at Royal Rumble 2002, where he participated in the Royal Rumble match at #20 but was shortly after eliminated by Stone Cold.[2][64] before going on to Raw. On Raw he had two very short feuds with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mr. Perfect before being drafted to SmackDown! during the brand extension. In May 2002, WWF was renamed World Wrestling Entertainment due to a lawsuit with World Wildlife Fund for Nature.

On SmackDown!, he began calling himself "The Big Valbowski" and he aligned himself with the likes of the babyface gimmics of Edge,[2][65] Randy Orton,[2][66][67] Billy Kidman[2][68] and Hardcore Holly[2][69][70] and feuded with Chris Jericho,[68] Deacon Batista[67] and Reverend D-Von.[67] However, he was soon sidelined after a legitimate injury caused by gym equipment falling on him at a gym in Australia during late July 2002. After his accident, he was removed from television until doctors cleared him to return to in-ring action.[2]

He returned to working SmackDown! dark matches in September 2002 and made one last televised appearance as Val Venis on October 26 2002 at Rebellion, where he returned to team with Chuck Palumbo in a losing effort against Reverend D-Von and Ron Simmons.[2]

Chief of Staff (2002-2003)

Lance Storm (left) and Morley (right) were Tag Team Champions for one week.

He returned to TV on November 18 edition on Raw under his real name, Sean Morley. He was appointed "Chief of Staff" by Raw General Manager, Eric Bischoff, turning heel once again by acting as Bischoff's assistant and going by Chief Morley.[2][71] Morley began a feud with Dudley Boyz in March 2003 and on March 24 2003 edition of Raw, he officially became one half of the World Tag Team Champions with Lance Storm after Storm's partner, William Regal, was sidelined with an illness.[2][72][73] Storm and Morley successfully defended the World Tag Team Titles on an edition of HEAT prior to WrestleMania XIX against Rob Van Dam and Kane with help from the Dudley Boyz,[2][74] only to lose them to Kane and RVD the next night.[2][75]

Mid-card status and work on Heat (2003-2008)

Morley was "fired" from his assistant job by Bischoff after he lost a Raw match to Jerry "the King" Lawler in which Jim Ross' job was on the line.[2][76] He was quickly "rehired" by co-G.M., Steve Austin as Val Venis. After returning as Val Venis, he participated in a battle royal at Judgment Day 2003 for the vacant Intercontinental Championship, won by Christian.[2][77] Throughout mid-2003, 2004 and the first half of 2005, Morley became a face again, once again using the name Val Venis, but did not get much in the way of a push. Venis began wrestling as a mid-carder on Heat and on an edition of Heat, he faced IC Champion Christian in a match for the IC title which Christian won.[2][78] He reformed his previous tag team with Lance Storm as faces, but the partnership faded and Venis became utilized mainly as a "jobber to the stars".[2]

In the summer of 2005 he formed another team, V-Squared, with Viscera.[2] While wrestling on HEAT, they squashed a number of other tag teams including the World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch in a non-title match.[2][79] On December 5 2005 edition of Raw, V-Squared participated in a fatal four way match for the World Tag Team Championship, including the champions Kane & The Big Show, The Heart Throbs and Snitsky & Tyson Tomko but were defeated.[2][80] Venis and Viscera continued to team in 2006, getting another shot at Kane and The Big Show's title, while occasionally having solo matches.[2][81] In March 2006 Venis suffered a kayfabe injury at the hands of The Spirit Squad which allowed him to take time off for legitimate elbow surgery, during which about a dozen more bone spurs were removed, six others were shaved down, and a nerve was transplanted.[2][82]

Daivari wrestling with Venis.

While he was out, Viscera began teaming with Charlie Haas, leaving Venis to team with Snitsky upon his return in a team that didn't last long.[2] Venis began a feud with Eugene on Heat when Eugene interrupted and attacked him during a "Kiss Cam" segment on December 4.[2][83] On the following edition of Heat, Venis and Eugene had a match which Eugene won.[2][84] On December 18 edition of Raw, Val participated in a #1 contender's battle royal, won by Edge.[2][85] In February 2007, Venis was given a video program entitled Sex University on WWE.com, which lasted until April when it and its archives were removed from the site for unknown reasons. On March 19 2007 edition of Raw, he participated in a Money in the Bank (MITB) qualifying battle royal, won by Edge.[2][86]

In late 2007, he began a feud with Santino Marella. During the feud, Marella gave Venis a sneak attack, causing him an injury.[2][87] The two had a match on October 15 edition of Raw, which Marella won.[2][88] On February 18 2008 edition of Raw, he lost to Mr. Kennedy in a Money in the Bank qualifying match.[2][89] It was announced that at WrestleMania, 24 superstars from all the three brands of WWE would compete in a battle royal and the winner would face ECW Heavyweight Champion Chavo Guerrero for the title. Val Venis was one of those superstars. On March 25 edition of ECW, he participated in a twelve-on-twelve tag team match involving all the participants of the battle royal.[2][90] At WrestleMania XXIV, he participated in a pre-show number one contender's battle royal, with the winner facing ECW Heavyweight Champion Chavo Guerrero later at that show. Kane went on to win the battle royal.[2][91]
