[edit] Career
Joker began his wrestling career in Combat Zone Wrestling in September 2003. He is a member of The Blackout stable with Ruckus, Eddie Kingston, Sabian and Robby Mireno[1]. In June 2004, Joker put his wrestling career on hold to fight in the war in Iraq. His last match was a death match against John Zandig and they wrestled in a secluded garage whilst the other members of Blackout watched on. The match was ended early as Blackout, getting upset watching their friend and partner receive a bloody beating, interfered in the match. Joker returned to Combat Zone Wrestling, on November 14, 2004. Joker won his first title in Combat Zone Wrestling on February 11, 2006 when he teamed with fellow Blackout member Eddie Kingston to win the CZW World Tag Team Championship from the then champions, Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli. On August 12, 2006, Eddie Kingston was kicked out of the Blackout stable during the title reign and, as a result of this, his half of the CZW World Tag Team Championship was given to Blackout member Ruckus. However, after August 12, 2006, Joker's profile was removed from the official Combat Zone Wrestling website. He left the promotion to join Pro Wrestling Unplugged and as a result the CZW World Tag Team Championship was vacated. Despite leaving Combat Zone Wrestling, Joker still wrestled under the stable of The Blackout in other promotions. Joker won the UWA Tag Team Championship with Sabian on October 28, 2006.
Upon joining Pro Wrestling Unplugged, Joker formed a successful tag team, with Ricky Reyes. Their union came about during The Pitbull/Public Enemy Tag Team Tournament which Ricky Reyes entered with partner Homicide, who form part of The Rottweilers stable in Ring of Honor. Homicide and Ricky Reyes faced Jay Briscoe and Joker (who was acting as replacement for Mark Briscoe who was injured in the first round) in the second round. Homicide and Ricky Reyes won the match when Joker turned on his partner. Joker and Ricky Reyes would later win the PWU Tag Team Championship at the PWU vs. JCW event, Cuffed & Caged on January 20, 2007[2]. The team would lose the titles two months later.
On July 14, 2007, Joker returned to CZW and won the Best of the Best 2007 tournament. He was Maven Bentley's second pick and beat Drake Younger in round one, Ricky Reyes, Vortekz, and Human Tornado in the semi-finals, and B-Boy in the finals. Since this event, Joker has continued to wrestle in CZW and has been added to the roster page of the website[3]. At the CZW event, Dishonorable Conduct, Joker rejoined with The Blackout teaming with Ruckus against Homicide and Ricky Reyes after a confrontation between The Blackout and The Rottweilers. Joker won the match for his team, pinning Ricky Reyes.
At CZW Night of Infamy on November 10, 2007, Joker defeated DJ Hyde to win the CZW Iron Man Championship[4]. Joker lost the title at CZW New Year's Resolution to Brain Damage in a 20-minute Iron Man Homerun Derby deathmatch for both Joker's CZW Iron Man Championship and Brain Damage's CZW Ultraviolent Underground Championship[5].
