Other Facts: -Brother of pro wrestler Lou Perez
-Not to be confused with pro wrestler
Alex Perez
-Allegedly one of the wrestlers that portrayed The
Black Scorpion in
WCW
-While competing in MSW, he filmed a vignette on top of an upscale restaurant with a nameless blond in Tulsa, OK. This was part of a training video implying a connection between his "Perez-Plex I" and success with women. "Perez-Plex I" has reportedly become a slang (though usually idle) threat as a "self-defense reference" among a small group of fans of Perez in the Tulsa,
Oklahoma area.
