Musical Career
After a 25 year career hiatus, Jon began work on his musical project. It became a solo outfit by the name of Mog Bilphus. His first album Satan Kills the Homeless and Other Songs was released to critical acclaim and produced 31 singles; eventually landing the number 1 spot on all music charts. Stylistically, all the other albums followed the same churning riffs and warp-speed double-bass pattern. CD, Tree-D was a departure from this style, as it was composed entirely with a synthesizer. This album incorporated techno, electronic, house, and dance influences.

Declined. Your article appears to be a joke. It might be a wonderful entry in Uncyclopedia, a wiki where jokes and parodies are highly encouraged. However, Wikipedia requires a stodgier, more factual tone in its articles, and your comedic efforts cannot be rewarded here. Ariel♥Gold 10:36, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Cozman (b. August 28, 1964) is a Canadian professional wrestler, known by his ring name "Principal" Richard Pound who competes in North American independent promotions, most notably as a mainstay of Stampede Wrestling during the 1980s and late 1990s.
Career
Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Cozman became a fan of professional wrestling and often attended local house shows with his father growing up. Interested in pursuing a career in professional wrestling, he eventually became friends with wrestling photographer Bob Leonard. In 1984, Leonard introduced him to Archie Gouldie and began training under him soon after.
Working with Gouldie during the next six months, he eventually made his professional debut in Stampede Wrestling in early 1985. Touring the Maritimes with Emile Dupree's Grand Prix Wrestling with Gouldie and Leo Burke during the summer as Danny Young, he also traveled to the United States following Gouldie and Burke to Texas where they wrestled for promoter Joe Blanchard. During the next five years, Cozman would work exclusively for Stampede Wrestling, feuding with Kerry Brown before the promotion closed in 1990.
Retiring from professional wrestling, Cozman worked as a security guard during the next several years although, during 1995, he and Venom would spend three months training wrestlers for the Prairie Wrestling Alliance although the promoter later decided against starting the promotion. [1]
In 1997, he became involved in Wild West Wrestling when the promotion began holding events in Saskatchewan. Later that year, while at a WWF house show in Regina with Bob Leonard, Bruce and Owen Hart, an outline for a in-ring persona was discussed in order to arrange a tryout with the World Wrestling Federation.
However, Cozman talked with Jim Cornette about entering the WWF, Cozman and Bruce Hart continued working on a character outline and later brought in Cozman with the character when he reopened Stampede Wrestling in 1999. Making his debut as "Principal" Richard Pound, Cozman soon began one of the most dominant "heels" in the promotion defeating Tiger Khan and Greg Pawluk in a three-way match for the Stampede British Commonwealth Mid-Heavyweight Champion in Calgary, Alberta on November 5, 1999. Cozman would become the first champion since the promotion closed in December 1989.
Defeating Tatanka for the Stampede North American Heavyweight Championship in April 2000, he later lost the Stampede British Commonwealth Mid-Heavyweight title to Tiger Mahatma Khan on June 2 and the Stampede North American title to Bruce Hart on April 13, 2001. The following month, he was backstage with several other Canadian independent wrestlers such as "Wildman" Gary Williams at Monday Night Raw when the WWF toured Alberta in late May. Although he did not compete at the event, he was later invited by the WWF for a tryout match in Tacoma or Seattle, Washington in June. [2]
Appearing at the 4th annual Brian Pillman Memorial Show, he represented Stampede Wrestling in an interpromotional match loosing to East Coast Wrestling Association veteran J.R. Ryder in Cincinnati, Ohio in August 2001. In negotiations with Sonny Onno to tour Great Britain with WrestleXpress in March 2002, [3] he later faced Bruce Hart on the undercard of the Stampede Wrestling 50th Anniversary Show at the Ogden Legion in Calgary, Alberta on May 1, 2003. [4]
