Billy Wiles
American professional wrestler (born 1971)
William Wiles (born 1971) is an American professional wrestler, better known by the ring names "Beautiful" Billy Wiles and Bilvis Wesley. He is best known for his appearances in Extreme Championship Wrestling in the late 1990s and early 2000s, where he was part of the New Dangerous Alliance, often teaming with C. W. Anderson.
Professional wrestling career
Early career (1996-1997)
Prior to first wrestling in a ring, Wiles was once a timekeeper.
Extreme Championship Wrestling (1997-2001)
Wiles became a construction worker within Extreme Championship Wrestling, building up rings and working as a hauler backstage. Eventually he worked his way into the sport and his first known match in ECW was against Axl Rotten in a house show in Waltham, Massachusetts, in a losing effort. He wrestled Sabu, Louie Spicolli and Balls Mahoney, but failed to defeat them. Wiles challenged Taz for the ECW World Television Championship in a singles match in the same venue in Waltham, Massachusetts to a losing effort.
Wiles would work alongside Lou E. Dangerously's New Dangerous Alliance, teaming up with C. W. Anderson, proceeding to feud against Roadkill and Danny Doring and The Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks (Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten). The brink of the feud with Roadkill and Doring happened at ECW Living Dangerously. Doring and Roadkill's manager Elektra turned on them, allowing Anderson and Wiles to pick up the win.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american professional wrestler (born 1971)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4911373. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1971, 1996, 1997 and 2001.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
