Biography: Johnny isn’t a smart guy and coming out of school went straight into manual labour work. While he was doing this he decided to try to get into professional wrestling, his childhood passion. Johnny had dreams of moving to America, being on TV and headlining shows around the world. The reality was quite different.

Johnny was good and became popular on the British Indie scene, holding a number of titles across the country. But that was about it. The highlight of Johnny’s career was a spell opening shows and jobbing in Japan for a year before returning to his life of obscurity in Britain.

Johnny’s big break has finally come at the hands of his now partner, Duncan Ryder. Johnny has only come to GIW as he was sent to watch and mentor the younger man who is still inexperienced and resents him for the success he’s achieved with so little work.

As the Thames Valley Hit Squad, Johnny and Duncan had a great amount of success, putting together a Cooperative title reign unbeaten in the years since it's end. Following their eventual defeat though Duncan turned on Johnny and attacked him, causing an injury that put Johnny out of action for two months. Johnny returned at Horizons where he attacked Duncan after his match and chased him out of the arena.

Johnny has not been seen in UGWC in the nine years since. He returned to London where he has continued competing and coaching new talent.
