Physical Description

In good condition a well defined athlete. Not a muscular steroid looking freak, but a hard working Texas boy. Short dirty brown hair and clean cut.

Biography & Background

In the sixties and seventies, there was no name bigger in Texas wrestling than Blackjack Lynch. A gruff brawler, Blackjack also had the Iron Claw at his disposal, a feared move that could crack the skulls of even the hardest headed Samoan. Legend has it that Blackjack could bend quarters between his thumb and forefinger.

Eventually, Blackjack settled down, and took to raising his sons. He has five, and three of them are now of wrestling age.

The middle son was James Lynch loved both football and wrestling. He attended North Texas and played linebacker. After his football career ended he entered the Texas Territory with his family.

James the good old Texas boy was popular with the fans. The fathers wanted their daughters to marry him and the mothers wanted their sons to grow up to be like him.

He also established a versified wrestling style that allowed him to match up well against anyone. James is very loyal to his older (Jack) and younger (Travis) brothers. He honors the family name and always ready for a good old fashion brawl.

Now in the AWA he stands beside Jack and Travis ready to bring the Lynch family honor to the big stage.

back body dropOther basic old school moves. He is sort of an all arounder.Three Strengths:

Singles or Tag — Makes a good tag team partner and can go out there and wrestle solo. Not only is James versified in his wrestling style. He seems to carry that over in all things inside the ring.

Three Weaknesses:

In-Ring Style & Influences

Kevin Von Erich with a tad Chris Adams.

Entrance & Presentation

[The heavy machine gun like drums of Judas Priest’s “Painkiller” blare over the loudspeakers. And as the fans begin to boo loudly, out steps the man who betrayed his family, James Lynch.

Lynch wears a long black leather duster, open to show his bare chest beneath. As he strides past the camera, we see that on the back of the duster is a white skull wearing a black cowboy hat and a red bandana. He’s wearing a pair of long wrestling tights, that are currently covered in black leather chaps, held up by a black belt with a silver belt buckle. Both of Lynch’s hands are covered in black gloves, while the lower half of his face is covered in a black bandana with a white skull design. Lynch’s long, dirty blond hair is pulled back into a tight ponytail and his brown eyes stare straight ahead, their gaze cold and merciless.

Lynch makes his way to the ring slowly and first takes off the long duster. Next to be removed are the chaps, revealing that his black tights have a pair of crossed six shooters done in white on the left hip, and a pair of red branding irons on the right. On the backside is the flag of Texas in a blood red color. Lynch’s black and red boots have the classic “cowboy” design so common for wrestlers from his home state.

Lynch pulls down his bandana but leaves it hanging around his neck, as his cold, dead eyes stare straight ahead at the entranceway, waiting for his opponent to come to him.]

In-Ring Repertoire

Finisher

Flying Body Press
Kevin has the widest variety move set of the Lynch brothers. He usually does this from the top ropes. He has been known to do this just off the ropes though.

Signature Moves

Iron Claw
A family signature move. He hasn’t mastered the move like his father or older brother. However Kevin has made men submit as he engulfed his right hand across his opponent’s face.
Body Scissors Submission hold
Dropkicks
Standing, off the ropes, from the top ropes.

Other Moves

Fist Drop
Suplex
Clothesline
Belly to Back Suplex
Figure Four Leg Lock
gutwrench suplex
Body tackle (football charge tackle)
Legdrop
Swinging neckbreaker
Tough
Most beat under estimate James toughness. Like his father and brothers he is very tough and can take a beating.
Versified Wrestling Style
James is probably the most versified wrestler in the Lynch family. He can brawl, hit a suplex, and get on those top ropes.
Barefoot
Wrestles barefoot. Vulnerable to having his feet stomped on!
Risks
Takes more risk then most in this era. Sometimes they pay off. Others not so much.
Family honor
Like most Lynch boys if you mess with their family then you have a fight on your hands. It’s one way to get under James skin and rile him up. Almost a gateway for a heel.
