WWE profile:

On the June 23 edition of HEAT, Val Venis defeated Rob Conway in his return to the ring. Val had missed nearly three months due to elbow surgery, an injury stemming from an attack by the Spirit Squad on the March 27 edition of RAW. His return to RAW came three days later, but Val & Viscera lost to Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch when Big Vis was distracted by Charlie Haas making an advance on Lilian Garcia.

Val has become a frequent partner of fellow lady lover Viscera since the summer of 2005. Together, they have been a successful team, scoring several wins on RAW and HEAT and nearly capturing the World Tag Team Championship on multiple occasions. While he may be a lover, Val showed a different side of himself on Valentine's Day 2006, when he hosted the first-ever Val Venis "Love Stinks" St. Valentine's Day Sucktacular on WWE.com.

Whether on his own or by the side of Big Vis, don’t let The Big Valbowski’s love for the ladies be deceiving; Venis is a formidable foe who will do just about anything to get ahead of the competition.
With his unmistakable call of "Hellllloooo, ladies," Venis excites the female population everywhere he goes. Sporting a towel around his waist and gyrating as part of his pre-match in-ring festivities, WWE’s very own ex-porn star will often flirt with female fans before locking up in the ring.
Fresh off his adult film career, Val entered WWE in 1998. He immediately made an impact, as the revelation that Taka Michinoku’s sister was one of his former co-stars led to a rivalry with Taka and Kaientai. Since the two seemed to have so much in common, Val formed an alliance with the Godfather, and the pair wreaked havoc in WWE later that year.

Female troubles again plagued Val early in 1999, as he revealed that he starred in a film with then-Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock’s sister Ryan entitled “Shaving Ryan’s Privates.” This time, Val ended up with both the girl and the gold, defeating Shamrock at St. Valentine’s Day Massacre to become Intercontinental Champion. However, he dumped Ryan just days later, and Val soon lost the gold as well. Throughout the year, he found himself embroiled with other ladies such as Debra and Nicole Bass, but rebounded to win the European Championship in December.

In 2000, Val hooked up with Trish Stratus, and under the guidance of the future Women’s Champion, he once again became Intercontinental Champion. However, at SummerSlam that year, Val lost the gold when Trish was pinned in an inter-gender Tag Team Match. Soon after the loss, Val fired Trish, and a new Venis emerged.
After all his female troubles, Val joined Steven Richards’ Right to Censor. In a complete turn from his former good-natured, sexual self, Val joined former buddy Godfather and became a moral crusader. However, that didn’t last long, as Val quickly left the RTC and WWE altogether.

After a an appearance in the 2002 Royal Rumble and a short stint on SmackDown, Val re-emerged on RAW in late 2002, joining RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff as his Chief of Staff. As Chief Morley, Val became half of the World Tag Team Champions, replacing an injured William Regal as Lance Storm’s partner. The reign lasted only 8 days, and he was fired by Bischoff in May 2003.

Just weeks later, “The Big Valbowski” re-emerged, competing in the Battle Royal for the re-instated Intercontinental Championship at Judgment Day. Val would later re-form his alliance with Lance Storm. After flying mostly solo following Lance’s retirement, Val formed a team with a seemingly natural ally, the near 500-pound Viscera, in the summer of 2005.
