Biography
Donald Callis is a Canadian professional wrestling color commentator, promoter and former professional wrestler and manager. He is currently an executive producer for IMPACT Wrestling. He is best known for his appearances with WWE as The Jackal and with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) as Cyrus. As of December 5, 2017, Callis has been employed by Impact Wrestling as its co-executive vice president, while also working for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) as a color commentator on NJPW World. In 2003, Callis debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) as a "Management Consultant". During this time he claimed credit for the Ultimate X match, which he said he devised to settle the dispute over who was the X Division champion once and for all. He engaged in a power struggle with then Director of Authority Erik Watts and used his power to make life difficult for Jerry Lynn, repeatedly fining and suspending him. On January 28, 2004 Callis succeeded in ousting Watts from TNA when he defeated him in a match for control of TNA, though he quietly departed the company afterward.
