Jerry Brisco

Floyd Gerald "Jerry" Brisco (September 19, 1946) is a former American professional wrestler known for his time in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
In the course of his career, Brisco wrestled for several National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) member promotions and won dozens of championships. Although, in the course of his career, he was largely overshadowed by his elder brother, former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jack Brisco, he, along with his friend Pat Patterson, achieved a degree of fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s as the onscreen "stooge" of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

===Amateur career===
Gerald Brisco grew up with five siblings and an absent father in Oklahoma. He followed his brother, the legendary Jack Brisco, into sport wrestling, and was eventually awarded an athletics scholarship to Oklahoma State after winning two AAU tournaments.
During the spring break of 1968, Brisco was in Missouri with Jack, and was asked to substitute for his brother's injured tag team partner despite his lack of professional training. After Brisco contracted hepatitis and injured his knee, he decided to drop out of college and become a full-time professional wrestler.
