[edit] History
Jennings is the manager of Frustrated Inc.. He is a longtime friend of The Liberal Librarian and made his WNWA debut in December 2006 after The Lib and The Lummox were fired from the bsWo. Jennings was assaulted by Thunderlips and The Insiders. He successfully sued the estate of the late Thunderlips for assault and won a $63 million settlement, forcing Thunderlips' family into a life of poverty and servitude.
Jennings has used his position as judge to overturn several decisions made by WNWA referees and officials. On two occassions he has over turned losses by Frustrated Inc. to Team Agbor and he set up the WNWA World Heavyweight Championship Tournament, rigging matches for The Liberal Librarian.
One thorn in his side as of late has been his connection to pornography, prostitution and drug use- exploited by Carl Bowman and J.R. Ewing. He has also raised the ire of Sheriff Washburn.
