He Ain't Hervey...He's My Brother

Thanks to DVR technology, I'm able to enjoy many of the shows that air either while I'm at work or sound asleep. Recently, I've added another program to my list of weekly recordings -- The Wonder Years. Arguably the greatest show of the 80's-90's, and one of my personal favorites, The Wonder Years featured the wit and wisdom of Daniel Stern, the boyish charm of Fred Savage, the comical antics of Josh Saviano and perhaps most notable, the brutal honesty of Jason Hervey. He was cruel, he was ruthless, yet he was the most believable amongst the cast of characters. You rooted for him as much as you rooted against him. He made terms like "scrote," "squirt," and "butt-head" fashionable for friends and bullies alike. Indeed, my favorite episodes were the ones that centered around Wayne.

Recently I wondered what became of Mr. Hervey. Did he take up body piercing? Did he pursue a career in financial planning? Did he open a pastry shop in New Hampshire? Did he embrace Scientology? As it turns out, Jason did no such things.

So after about five minutes of internet research, I finally learned what became of my once surrogate older brother:

After more than 5 years at Mandalay [Mandalay Sports Action Entertainment] and growing that division [professional wrestling], Jason had a short lived stint as a Chief Marketing Officer at a Fortune 500 company. Jason then returned to his roots in the entertainment business by partnering with long time friend,colleague and former President of Time Warners "World Championship Wrestling" (WCW) Eric Bischoff to form Bischoff Hervey Entertainment (BHE TV, LLC) Bischoff Hervey Entertainment specializes in content creation and production for various broadcast outlets, licensing and merchandising and innovative brand integration solutions. Jason and his family currently reside in Scottsdale, Arizona and Los Angeles, California.

Impressive! Jason, if you're out there, The Weight would love to hear from you...butt-head!
