Ilan "The Viz" Preisler was born August 27, 1981 and is most notable for being a long-time fixture on the Main Event. He has been a life-long wrestling fan and has been quoted as saying that "professional wrestling is my favorite art form".
The Viz is simply a wrestling mark. He follows the sport 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and studies the stats books during all his free time. This man knows his wrestling like no other, and has been expressing his very controversial opinions since August 28, 2004, when he first joined the Main Event. He began as an intern and had an unprecedented rise among the ranks to attain the level of host within a record nine months.
During 2004, he had a memorable feud with "Iron" Mike Lyons which culminated in him getting a torn pectoral muscle by getting mercilessly chopped. Both he and Mike Lyons were co-General Managers of the show and decided that the winner of a best out of five wrestling trivia tournament would emerge as the sole GM.
Though he was defeated, it was a springboard to becoming a co-host, even taking over for awhile as host while Ryan Rider was away. Since season four began in September 2005, he has mostly been on hiatus from the show due to a fledging career in medicine. He brought all the intelligence and creativity with him from his academic career of studying to become a doctor back to the Main Event during a brief return in mid-2006. He then joined Mr. Ryan Rider to interview Hulk Hogan in December 2006..
