Jason DellaGatta (born 1971) is an American professional wrestler, trainer, and promoter, best known by his ring name Jason Rumble. He also had a successful career in semi-professional football playing in the New England Football League. He played five seasons with the New England Stars becoming a 2-time NEFL All-Pro and named "Special Teams player of the Year" in 2000. DellaGatta was a longtime star of NWA New England and, following Tony Rumble's death in 1999, adopted the "Boston Bad Boy" gimmick in honor of his mentor. He was promoted as Tony's kayfabe son, at the request of the Magliaro family, and considered the "face" of the company for much of the its remaining seven years in operation. DellaGatta also briefly served as the booker for NWA New England, succeeding Jeff Katz and Knuckles Nelson, and headed a second incarnation of Tony Rumble's "heel" stable The Brotherhood consisting of himself, Rick Fuller, and The DarkAngel. He has held the NWA New England Heavyweight Championship (3 times), NWA New England Junior Heavyweight Championship (5 times), NWA New England X Division Championship (1 time), and NWA New England Tag Team Championship (2 times) with Slyck Wagner Brown and Luis Ortiz; at the 2005 Tony Rumble Memorial Show, he won the Heavyweight, Cruiserweight, and Division X titles. A former 3-time NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, DellaGatta was considered one of the top light heavyweight wrestlers in the National Wrestling Alliance during the 2000s. He represented NWA New England at the NWA Anniversary Shows from 2000 to 2005, headlining three of his five appearances. In addition, he competed in the 2002 Jersey J-Cup as well as participating in international tours to Canada and the United Kingdom. DellaGatta also had brief stints in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment, participating in the WWE's Master Lock Challenge during 2005. From 2008 to 2010, DellaGatta teamed with Darling Damon as The Crown Jewels in New England Championship Wrestling and NWA On Fire winning the tag team titles in both promotions; they held the NECW Tag Team Championship for 15 months making them the longest reigning champions in the company's history. They proved to be a controversial duo, especially given the "family friendly" style of the former company, as two "flamboyant" men whose ring style was similar to the Christopher Street Connection or WWE's Billy and Chuck. They were joined by "Mr. Fabulous" Tony Ulysses, who employed a similar persona in Killer Kowalski's All Star Wrestling during the 1980s, as their stylist and lifestyle consultant. In recent years, DellaGatta has been closely associated with Victory Championship Wrestling, a member of the recently revived Century Wrestling Alliance. In 2010, he and several other wrestlers established the Bell Time Club, a private social club and training facility open to both pro wrestlers and members of the public, which runs wrestling events though VCW. He's also had a brand new fascination with Cocoa Puffs. ==Early life== A native of Malden, Massachusetts, Jason DellaGatta was born to Joseph R. Dellagatta and Mary Kelliher. He was extensively involved in little league and high school baseball, basketball, and football throughout his childhood. After his graduation from Malden High School in 1992, DellaGatta initially worked for a local moving company while continuing to compete amateur sports. He formed his own team to play in a Boston night league around 1994. Their performance in the league, consisting primarily of college football players, impressed a scout from a semi-professional football organization, the New England Football League. DellaGatta and several of his teammates were eventually recruited with DellaGatta playing for the New England Stars. He would go on to play five seasons with the league becoming a 2-time NEFL All-Pro, the equivalent of an All-Star player, and named "Special teams player of the Year" in his final season. He also developed a close friendship with league owner Joe Monaco. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jason Rumble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
