Biography
Jimmy Charles first made his name in professional wrestling as an in ring performer. Jimmy made his in-ring debut at the age of just 18 in the regional days of pro-wrestling. He was a talented fighter and got his Chisel surname when people remarked on well toned physical appearance and his youthful looks. He spent many years fighting wars in the ring and enjoying the fast life outside of it. He made a comfortable living out of wrestling as well gambling (he often bet on matches with fans who were unaware that he was often the one booking the show!). Officially Jimmy retired in the 1980's when his life of drugs, drinking and women caught up with him and he became a manager and eventually part-time promoter for the Delaware Wrestling Alliance which was run by Nicholas Petrov, father of Ivan Petrov and long time friend of Chisel. Chisel has been strongly linked with the Petrov family since then.

Jimmy has been known to being quite outspoken and having a sense of humour. The man who fans call The Chiz has managed many wrestlers in his career including Ivan Petrov, Jake Hammerstein and The Avenger (also known as Ekin Jones/Eddie T), Igor Petrov and HellRazor. Jimmy was briefly a manger in KCW when The OutKasts first debuted in 2002 (he also managed The Avenger) and returned a year later as a member of the staff. His return to the spotlight came as a commentator/authority figuire in Ivan Petrov's Pure Pro Wrestling from 2003-2005. Jimmy made his Pro Wrestling R4GE debut when it re-opened in 2006. Jimmy spent his early days in R4GE as manger for both Ivan and Igor. When Ivan announced his retirement and Igor left R4GE Jimmy Chisel took up a position as Creative Consultant for Pro Wreslting R4GE. At the same time he began a week coloumn called R4GE Issues in which he spoke about the recent goings on in R4GE, commented on the wrestlers catching his eye and told stories from his lifetime in wrestling. During August 2006 he also held a 'Straight Shootin'' sit-down interview with Eddie T on R4GE's weekly TNT television show. Jimmy Chisel is also a long-serving member of the Pro Wrestling R4GE staff and as of January 2007 he has held the position of Character Consultant, working as part of R4GE's creative team.

In Febuary 2007, Jimmy Chisel returned to active managment when he took co-contender for the R4GE World championship Dave Bermingham under his wing to prepare him for his match at R4GE's Breaking Point Pay-Per-View. Rumours are also abound that The Chiz has been hiring ex-R4GE jobbers to do menial tasks at his home in the Hollywood Hills. It is known that 'The Elemental' Badre Bally was recently employed by Jimmy as a personal aid.
