Sean Morley, better known as Val
Venis or The Big Valbowski (born on March 6, 1971 in Oakville, Ontario) is a
Canadian professional wrestler currently performing for World Wrestling
Entertainment on the RAW brand.

Career
World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment
He debuted in the then-WWF as a
face to start with in 1998 and has enjoyed moderate success since then. He is
also a self described libertarian, and the former brother-in-law of fellow WWE
superstar Edge.
Val Venis, Morley's wrestling
persona, was created out of political conservative Sean Morley's sense of humor.
He was presented on screen as a well-endowed porn star, becoming the focus of an
outrageous angle which involved him having an affair with Mrs. Yamaguchi-San and
nearly being castrated by Japanese stable Kaientai (Taka Michinoku, Funaki, Dick
Togo, Men's Teioh, and Wally Yamaguchi) in the summer of 1998.
Morley later turned heel by
aligning himself with Trish Stratus. Shortly after this, he became a member of
the Right to Censor stable, becoming a censorship-based character, directly
contrasting with his previously provocative on-screen character. He had very
little presence in the major Invasion storyline, only returning regularly to
television on Smackdown! once the WCW/ECW Alliance had been defeated. On his
return (now with the nickname "The Big Valbowski"), he turned face by joining
forces with then babyface and then SmackDown! star, Edge.
Upon being drafted back to RAW,
Morley was appointed "Chief of Staff" by RAW's General Manager, Eric Bischoff,
turning heel once again whilst acting as Bischoff's assistant. However, shortly
into his tenure, Bischoff "fired" Chief Morley on-screen, only for him to be
quickly re-hired by RAW's then co-G.M., Stone Cold Steve Austin. This caused him
to turn face for the third time by siding with the fans, even going so far as to
change his name back to Val Venis.
