Jimmy Olsen (born October 16, 1986) is an American former professional wrestler. He is best known his tenure in Chikara, under his real name and the ring name Equinox.
Jimmy Olsen made his Chikara debut on November 12, 2006, alongside Colin Olsen as the Olsen Twins at a tag team tournament to decide new number one contenders to the Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas, but the two lost in the opening round to Cheech and Cloudy. This performance would however earn them a regular spot on the Chikara roster.
The Olsens returned in February 2007 during the King of Trios weekend in a match, where they were brutalized at the hands of Yoshiaki Yago and MIYAWAKI. They achieved their first Chikara win during a gauntlet match on night three of that weekend by beating 2.0 (Jagged and Shane Matthews) in 4 seconds. Unfortunately, this would prove to be one of their only wins, with another coming during the Young Lions Cup weekend in June when they upset the North Star Express (Darin Corbin and Ryan Cruz). They would begin occasionally teaming with NWA Upstate colleague Brodie Lee in trios matches, often tackling The Colony, and their adventures in tag team wrestling saw even more enthralling contests with Cheech and Cloudy, including a widely praised match at the "Cibernetico and Robin" event in September 2007.
Colin's signing with World Wrestling Entertainment in early 2008 forced Jimmy into full-time singles wrestling, which he proved to be rather good at, defeating the likes of Icarus and Player Uno, while taking Vin Gerard and Gran Akuma to the limit. However, a first round loss to Stupefied in the Young Lions Cup and Vin Gerard revealing where Colin had really gone caused Jimmy to turn against the fans who had grown to love him as he began to unmask several wrestlers, seemingly hunting for Colin. However, when Colin returned in September, Jimmy declared his hunt for Colin to be over, and thus ending his grudge against any masked wrestlers. This did not end well though as Colin determined that Jimmy had become weak, and as a result Colin turned on his brother and joined Vin Gerard and STIGMA to form the UnStable. Now firmly back in the tecnico camp, Jimmy looked to gain adequate revenge on the rudos, who tricked him and betrayed him. He formed a successful tag team with former foe Lince Dorado, and in late 2008 began donning the old Equinox attire, worn originally by Vin Gerard, in an effective attempt to get into his head.
