John Yurmet is a Puerto Rican professional wrestler best known for performing with the World Wrestling Council under the ring name of "Mr. 450" Hammett.

[edit] Career

Hammett started his wrestling career working on the independent circuit of Puerto Rico, working for Xtreme Wrestling Entertainment (XWE) among others. He later entered the New Wrestling Stars (NWS) in 2005 and was a member of the stable HP with Ash, Livewire, and, later on, Stefano. Hammett became NWS's first Jr. Heavyweight Champion after winning a tournament on March 26, 2006 but, after having problems with the company, soon vacated the title and left for the International Wrestling Association (IWA). During this time Hammett continued wearing the title until the New Wrestling Stars requested it back.

Hammet soon became IWA's Jr. Heavyweight Champion just two weeks later in Bayamon. Also during his time with IWA, Hammet teamed with both Tommy Diablo and Carlitos in tag matches before leaving IWA to return to the NWS. Where on August 13, 2006 in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, Hammet made his first apearance after the match between Bolo The Red Bulldog and William De La Vega, running in through the crowd. Hammet helped out De La Vega, Noregia, and Sabu Kid clear the ring of his fomer team mates of HP.

However the appearance was a one-off as Hammet left the company again the next day to enter the World Wrestling Council. While in WWC, Hammet feuded with "Mr. USA" Brent Dail, Alex Montalvo, and Eli Rodriguez. Hammet soon won WWC's Jr. Heavyweight title, becoming one of the first wrestlers in Puerto Rican Wrestling to win the triple-crown of the three different Puerto Rican jr. heavyweight titles.
