The Mr. Azerbaijan gimmick is based on Billy Gunn (
Monty Sopp)'s "Mr. Ass" gimmick, as part of the DeGeneration X-inspired Bloc Party. He is unofficially nicknamed "Mr. Azz". This actually came into play during his match with UltraMantis Black at "CHIKARA For British Eyes Only," where Azerbaijan hurt his butt and that actually became the focus of UltraMantis Black's offense.
