History Wrestling / Lodi

As usual, you can find the basics at [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodi_(wrestler) The Other Wiki]].

Brad Cain is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er, trainer and author best known for his time in Wrestling/{{WCW}} as Lodi. He debuted in 1997 and worked in the North Carolina independent scene before arriving in WCW in late November 1997 as a member of Wrestling/{{Raven}}'s Flock. He was given the name [[SdrawkcabName Lodi]] because of his resemblance to Music/BillyIdol. He was a {{Jobber}}, generally there to get beat up by other wrestlers. After Wrestling/PerrySaturn defeated Raven at ''WCW Fall Brawl 98'', Lodi drifted for a year until he and Lenny Lane were put together as the team The West Hollywood Blondes, a nod to the 1993 team The Hollywood Blondes, [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin "Stunning" Steve Austin]] and [[Wrestling/BrianPillman "Flyin'" Brian Pillman]]. The team actually got over and helped WCW's sagging TV UsefulNotes/{{Ratings}}, but the organization GLAAD objected to the gimmick, leading to them being repackaged as Standards And Practices. In that role, they had some connection to [[Wrestling/StacyKeibler Ms. Hancock (Stacy Keibler)]], which was never explained. They were also known as [=XS=], then [=2XS=], none of which got over. Wrestling/{{WWE}} did not pick up his contract after buying WCW so he went off into the independents.
