Treat

This would normally be an exclusive Club Firestorm member update, but in the spirit of Halloween, I’m making “Treat” available to everybody.

So whats new for this Club Firestorm update?

New Exclusive Content

Jonny Firestorm vs. Austin Cooper- Sleeper hold challenge. 20 minutes. $25 download. Poor Austin has taken his share of beatings from Jonny in the past. This time around they’ve agreed to a special twist, the only holds that will be allowed are sleeper holds. Not exactly the type of match you want to accept against Jonny Firestorm. Austin is repeatedly knocked out, and revived, just to get knocked back out again. Standing up, on the mat, tied in the ropes, and in the corner. Sleeper holds, cobra clutches, kiss of death sleepers, figure 4 head scissors, dragon sleepers, and more!

(Note: Usually there would be a buy now option here, Club Firestorm Members can head to the Exclusive Content page to purchase the match)

Free Video Clip: Jonny Firestorm vs. Biff Farrell

Photo Gallery: Jonny Firestorm vs. Masked Menace

Free Streaming Videos: Usually Club Firestorm members get 1 free featured streaming video, and one free pro style streaming video per month. This month, members get their treat, two free featured streaming videos! One sexy squash match, and one back and forth low blow, ball bashing.

The next Club Firestorm update will bring another Exclusive match, another free clip, and more hot photos!

I’m working on a couple special web releases, so keep watch for these upcoming bouts!

I’m super excited to announce the return of ARYX QUINN to the squared circle! We had a little friendly competition between the two of us, whoever could torture and force Braden Charron (who is in peak physical condition, perhaps his best ever), to verbally submit and give their body up to the superior heel, would have to grab dinner after the shoot. I won’t give away who won, but the food sure was good! After we each were done with Braden, it came time for the match up of the day, Aryx Quinn vs. Jonny Firestorm. All the other wrestlers in attendance stopped what they were doing, pulled up their ring side seats, whipped out their camera phones and watched Aryx and I tear into each other. When these bouts are released I’d suggest getting comfy, get your pop corn ready, perhaps a box of tissues, and enjoy the show!

That’s it for now Firestorms, enjoy!

Happy Birthday to me! Jonny vs. Masked Menace

It’s my birthday! I’m not planning on doing much today. After I get done posting this (and doing an update for Club Firestorm Members), I plan on hitting the gym, cooking dinner, and calling it a night. Today isn’t totally uneventful for me though, I’ve been working all morning on getting this update ready.

Jonny Firestorm vs. Masked Menace

 

In my newest download offering, I take on the Masked Menace, who might look familiar to those of you who are active on the private wrestling scene. He’s a skilled wrestler, and he packs a lot of power in his strikes and submission holds. We hold nothing back as we pummel, stretch, and slam each other around the squared circle.

 

The sweat flows as the intensity is taken up a notch. There’s a lot of submissions, reversals, crotch grabs, humiliating pins and holds. The bout doesn’t end until one of us is knocked out.

The match is available to purchase in the store (or using the button below). Remember, Club Firestorm members get a 50% discount in the Discounted VOD section of Club Firestorm! By now, I shouldn’t have to remind everybody that if you’re going to buy the match at full price, you might as well join Club Firestorm. It costs the same amount for the membership and the match. The real bonus is you’d get access to all the great Club Firestorm content, including the free streaming matches. Or you could just buy the video at full price. Whatever floats your boat. I should mention, Club Firestorm members are getting an exclusive DVD offering today that has the only jockstrap match that I’ve ever done!

Jonny vs. Masked Menace. 23 minutes, $50

My new diet and work out routine is going very well. I had a killer leg day that I’m still feeling. It’s still the fist week, but I’ve enjoyed every aspect of it so far. I’m eating a lot more than I did last time I dieted (healthy, portioned food of course), so I’m not as cranky. The work outs are killer. After the fact, I appreciate the hard work I put in, but at the time it’s brutal. Hopefully in another week or two, I’ll start seeing enough of a difference to post some progress pictures.

I didn’t watch SummerSlam this year, there wasn’t much on it that interested me. However, the NXT show the night before was great. I think I enjoy NXT more than the current WWE product. It’s always good to see Finn Balor in action, even though he beat me. The women’s match was phenomenal, the best wrestling match I’ve seen on WWE programming in a while. Seeing Liger in a WWE ring was kind of cool. The whole show from top to bottom, was very solid.

There’s still a couple spots open in the Firestorm Fantasy Football league, so leave a comment if you’re interested (I don’t approve the fantasy football comments, so no worries about exposing your name/email, etc if you’re worried about people seeing you want to join).

Speaking of football. I want to go to the New England/Denver game, in Denver this year. Does anybody have a ticket connection?

Finally, to wrap things up. I’m including a donation button below, in case anybody wants to give me a birthday gift. I’ll be using whatever funds to buy new gym clothes, possibly buy those football tickets if nothing else comes through, pay off some bills, or maybe just do something fun.




Ringwars 24, FL, CF update

For those of you who haven’t had a chance to check out BG East’s latest set of releases (109.1), you should do so at www.beast.com

You’ll see your friendly neighborhood Firestorm is in action on Ringwars 24, against Rory MacLeod. Truth be told, I don’t recall much about this bout.

  

I’m guessing it was the start of my gradual decent into my beefier years, hence the singlet. Looking back on it now, it’s not like I was in bad shape. Hell, you can still see abs in this picture!

  

I think the photo selection on the website is slightly misleading. I could be wrong, but I don’t recall the match being that one sided. I remember feeling that this was a strange bout for me at the time, because I didn’t particularly care for Rory that much. It’s not that I disliked him, but I was indifferent. It’s easier for me to get excited for matches if I have some connection with my opponent, or there’s something about the match that I find interesting. Whether it’s some match type, or personal goal that I want to accomplish. Not that my desire to destroy all who dare to step in the ring with me isn’t motivating enough.

  

I don’t remember who won, so if you’ve seen the match, shoot me an email and let me know!

I’m also excited to see the release of Guido Genatto vs. Chet Chastain from Fan Fantasy 3. Guido’s an incredible heel (Club Firestorm members just got an exclusive reminder of that), and Chet is one of the best new prospects to come along in awhile. He’s handsome, skilled, has a great body, and the attitude to have long successful BG East career. That being said, he’d be wise to avoid matches like this if he wants a long career. Guido mops the floor with the stud, in what could possibly be the sexiest match that both wrestlers will ever take part in. It’s a must own if you’re a fan of either.

  

The other match that you can’t go wrong with is Kip Sorell being repeatedly KOed by Zach Reno, in Sleeper Surrender 1. Kip is the epitome of perfection, it’s almost unfair that one person can have that much going for him. So it’s great to see Zach make him suffer for being such a pretty boy.

  

I just got back from my trip to Florida. It was a busy, but rewarding trip. We filmed a lot of new BG East matches, I was able to get some Jonny matches done, and celebrate with Drake Marcos for his birthday. We went to the Manor for his birthday with a small group that consisted of me, Drake, Kayden Keller, Rolf Fulton, a BGE rookie, and a friend of ours.

IMG_0185

I also updated Club Firestorm with several new photo galleries, free video clips, exclusive matches, and free streaming videos. Expect a CF Members blog soon, with a couple more behind the scenes photos.

I wasn’t able to get any sleep last night, so I’m about to take a nap. Till we meet again, Firestormers!

Florida tomorrow… err… today!

I’m going to Florida tomorrow for a weekend of BG East video tapings, and some of my own as well. I still need to pack my suitcase, I can’t ever seem to get the damn thing packed any sooner than the night before. I have no problem getting the equipment together, but unless the flight is 10 hours away or less, the suitcase is an impossibility.

I’ll have some free time over the weekend to film one or two more custom match requests. I’m not 100% sure about the available roster, but these are the confirmed wrestlers that I have available:

Rolf Fulton

Drake Marcos

Lane Hartley will also be around.

There will be some others, but I’m not sure of their interest filming custom matches.

Because I’m going to be away frequently in June, I’m going to release the bulk of all the Club Firestorm content right away on the first. Usually it would be spread over some time, but I don’t want to get caught up during the tapings, and not have time to update.

I spent some of Memorial Day with Cameron. I consider him to be one of my closest friends, and whenever we’re together it’s a good time. Here we are trying to decide who gets to roll first in Monopoly.

Well, that about does it for now. I’ve got a suitcase to pack!

My first BG East match

I have a couple of my older blog posts saved and plan on publishing them again periodically. I’m nearly done with another project that should (hopefully) be something very exciting for all you Firestorm fanatics. So then, enjoy this blast from the past!

Most of you think my first match was against Brad Rochelle, in the Contract 6. That was my first match to get released, but I had wrestled several matches prior to that. Now I’m not going to spoil the surprise, and tell you who all my opponents were, and what happened. I will tell you about the first match I ever did for BG East, and my thoughts leading up to it.

I was 19, or maybe I was almost 19. Jeez, I’m already messing up my own story. I swear it will get better from here on out. Either way, the point is, I was still very young, only 2 years into my professional wrestling “career”. Cameron Matthews had been on my case for some time to come do BG East. I was hesitant. Not because of the content but because I was worried it would somehow impact my pro career. I finally decided to give it a go. What’s the worst that could happen? At worst some sleazy promoter doesn’t give me $15 to come wrestle on his crappy show in front of 20 people? I could live with that.

I was very nervous about going to BGE. I didn’t really know what to expect, how the people were going to be, what I would have to wear. At the time, I was a verrrrrrry shy kid. I wore baggy wrestling pants for gear on shows. I just recently started wresting without a shirt on. I know, horrendous gear choice, but it was sort of “in” at the time. Especially if you were a shitty Indy wrestler. Lol.

Cameron agreed to pick me up. I was either carless at the time or my car wouldn’t have made the trip, I forget which. During the ride in, I didn’t really ask much about how this all was going to work. I wanted to, but didn’t want to bring it up for some reason. Besides, we had plenty to talk about with the local pro scene, and our dreams of becoming WWE Superstars. We were nearly at BG East, and I was still pretty nervous about how things were going to go. Part of me expected to pull up to some sketchy looking wrestling bathhouse.

Pulling up to the BGE facility, I was in awe… definitely not a bathhouse. If you know of the facilities or have ever seen photos, you know what I’m talking about. Upon entering, I was greeted by Kid Leopard and the rest of the staff. KL was very personable, and helped put me at ease. We were behind schedule (for those of you who know me, you’re not surprised) so we had to rush through the pleasantries, and get right to work.

The arena had more wrestling stuff in one room than I had ever seen. I had some of the same toys as a kid. Lol. Now it was time for the dreaded gearing up process. I was terrified. I tried on several things, and hated all of them. It wasn’t because he was throwing me in g-strings or anything but I was just so used to wearing baggy stuff, I had never tried on anything this tight. Well, other than my wrestling singlet, that covered a lot more though. I hated the way everything looked. I was pasty white, had razor bumps all over me, not an ounce of muscle and had on these little black speedos with flames on the front. Now that the gear was decided it was onto the match, I was nervous about what I’d be called though. I definitely didn’t want to use my real name, for the obvious reasons.

“Firestorm”, Cameron jokes. I’m assuming the flames on the trunks are what made him think of it. KL agreed, Firestorm worked. Jon is my real name so Jonny was the easy first name. I wasn’t in love with it but at least it wasn’t something like “Rod Steel” or some other typical porn name. Now, I honestly couldn’t picture going by any other name. So big props to Cam for that!

Taking pictures always made me uncomfortable. I never really was photogenic and now I’m in the tightest, smallest pair of speedos I had ever seen, trying to flex my non existent muscle for KL. I couldn’t wait to finish with all the prematch stuff, and get to the wrestling. When I look back at it, I can’t help but laugh. These days (because I’m in shape) I can’t wait to put on some form fitting, sexy trunks and take some pictures. I still don’t think I’m particularly photogenic (not like some of the other wrestlers) but I enjoy it.

Cameron and I warmed up, stretched out a bit. Talked a little shit pre-match, and prepared to do battle. That’s kinda been the fun thing about being friends with Cameron. We both get along very well, but when it comes to wrestling it’s different. Almost like we both have split personalities. It’s understood that whatever happens in the ring, or on camera stays there. One of us might have some bumps and bruises, or a battered ego after, but we don’t (or try not to) let it carry over into our personal life. It was a tough match, I didn’t really “get” what we were going for. I asked for some guidance from KL before the match and he was more than happy to offer up how he’d like to see Cameron tortured.

It wasn’t a squash job by any means. I don’t think I was capable of such a thing at the time. It was a tough match with some good back and forth. I won’t spoil the match by revealing details. I haven’t watched the match in quite some time, but looking back on it, I think you’ll be able to tell I was a Indy wrestler doing BG East. I approached and treated the match like I would any other on a wrestling show. It was go, go, go. I wasn’t methodically inflicting pain, and punishment on Cam like I would now. I tried to be a bad ass, but I had never been a heel before! I was always interested in being a heel, and felt like it came naturally to me. More so than faking the baby face role. Once it’s released, I’d like to watch it, followed up by something recent. Just to see the difference and evolution of my wrestling style.

Post match, I had a nice chat with KL. We got along great. He said I’d be welcome back if I was interested in continuing by BG East career. Obviously I took him up on the offer and the rest is history!

Spring cleaning, the Challenger 3

Two blog posts in one week!?! Madness!

This post is to let everybody know I’ve been doing some spring cleaning, and I’ve stumbled across several matches I nearly forgot all about.

The Challenger 3: Jonny Firestorm vs. Guido Genatto, is available now as a download in my VOD store. http://jonnyfirestorm.com/vod.html

 

Guido and I have done several matches since this bout, would anybody care for a best 3 out of 5 series? The match is fairly short (only 11 minutes), so the price reflects that ($15 instead of the normal $25). For all you size queens, it is one of the larger video formats.

As many of you noticed, I had some testing stuff going on with the blog last night. You can see one of the posts is still active but password protected. That’s part of one of the projects I plan on rolling out very soon. Maybe another week or so testing it and making sure it’s set up properly. Then I’ll step to the podium and make my announcement.

I’m heading off now to grab some dinner before I catch the early showing of the Avengers 2: Age of Ultron! The draft is tonight as well, go Pats!

Not quite finished

So that project is not quite finished, but it’s far enough along that I’ll share!

Behold, my own personal workspace.

IMG_9749

It should have been finished up, but my buddy sliced his hand open finishing up the ropes. I was busy at BG East filming matches that day, and the next day I had a 11 wrestlers over to break in the new ring. I still need to paint it, finish taping up the ropes, swap out the turnbuckles for slightly smaller ones, and throw the canvas down to cover the mat. I’m also going to add some backdrops to cover up all the junk in the background, and use some soft boxes for lighting.

I filmed 20 matches on Friday in the new ring. On Saturday I shot up to cage-a-mania (Cameron’s taping) and did a couple more there.

IMG_9750

The downside of being so busy this past weekend is my diet went to hell. Falling off the wagon would be an understatement. After eating so well and relatively clean for the past couple months, I can actually feel the difference in my food choices. I feel sluggish, bloated, and gross. I’m about to head to the gym and work off some of the junk. I’m going to wrestle on another pro show this Friday night, and I was hoping I’d look a lot better in spandex.

I’m going to be back in Florida at the end of May and early June. Both trips have been added to the calendar, which I’m going to be updating more frequently.

The NFL draft is this weekend, and I’m anxious to see what the Patriots are going to do. I know the typical joke is “NE trades the 32nd pick”, but with the new rookie wage scale and the 5th year option for all 1st round picks, the Patriots have actually traded UP in the first round (Hightower, Chandler Jones) to grab players. I’m thinking Shane Ray could be a player to keep an eye on. Talent wise he’s a top 10 pick, but some off the field issues and turf toe are supposed to make him fall in the draft. Last year NE used their first round pick on a DT with no ACL’s, so injury history shouldn’t be a major concern. The off the field stuff might be too much, especially coming off the whole Hernandez thing. The Patriots do love their value picks, and getting a top 10 talent with the 32nd pick might be too tempting to pass up. It’s not exactly the biggest area of need on this team, but I wouldn’t complain. They were able to win the Super Bowl without much contribution from their #1 pick last year, so as long as they can nail the next couple rounds, I’d take the risk.

Does anybody have an iWatch, and if so, how do you like it so far? I’ve tried it on, read about it, and still can’t decide if I think it’s a neat gimmick, or totally obnoxious. Having your passbook at your full disposal is kind of neat (apple pay, boarding passes, etc), having maps on your wrist if you’re walking around a new city is something that appeals to me as well. I will never use it as a phone, the idea of speaking into your wrist while in public is horrifying to me (I have bluetooth in my car, or else I’d say that would be a practical use for it) . I can’t imagine reading and responding to emails/texts is very pleasant either, and having it constantly buzz on your wrist seems like it could get old real fast. The fitness uses for it are interesting, but aren’t enough to sway me either way. This definitely isn’t something I need, I’m just trying to figure out if it’s something that would be neat to have and possibly make parts of my day easier.

A little late

I’m posting this a little later than I wanted to, mainly because I’ve been busy this week finishing up a project I teased on my blog at the beginning of the year. I’m starting to see a pattern here, lol. It should be finished up tomorrow and I’ll have photos up in a blog after this weekends shoots.

I’ve been on the injury report all this week as well, thankfully I’m starting to come around now. I was fighting off a bad cold earlier this week and I somehow injured my neck. It felt like a strain, I just know it hurt to move for most of the week. I’m finally able to move it pain free and with full range of motion. My gym goals took a hit this week as a result, but I’ll get myself back on track.

I have a busy remainder of the week. Tomorrow I’m going up to BG East of film some matches with a hot new guy and one of our newest superstars. Friday, I’m doing a small custom match taping, and then Saturday I’m going to hang out with Cameron & company.

Speaking of custom tapings, I’ll have these guys kicking around for a couple days. We might have room to get a couple more matches in. So send those scripts in!

  

 

Kayden Keller, Lon Dumont, Dolph Danner, Biff Farrell, Ty Alexander, and of course I’m available as well.

I’m also very close to announcing a couple more projects I’ve been working on. These ones won’t take 4 months to finish, I promise. I’d expect the debut to be in the next couple weeks. Some really cool stuff is on the horizon. Speaking of that, I’ve been talking with Cameron about doing some joint trips together. West coast, the UK, etc. When we hammer out dates, I’ll post them here.

For those of you who haven’t checked out BG East’s latest set of releases, go do so! www.bgeast.com Catalog 108 has been released and it features some hot new hunks and it has one hell of a star studded line up. Heel Bash 1 is probably my favorite of the bunch, it has two hot pros, Chet Chastain and Dolph Danner, who are making their BGE debuts, Guido Genatto (who is quickly becoming one of my favorite heels to watch) taking on Ethan Axel Andrews, and Big Barry Burke squashing pretty boy, Rofl Fulton. Another can’t miss debut is Biff Farrell’s on the Lon Dumont spotlight. Biff’s the prototypical college jock. He looks great, he knows it, but he’s got a little ways to go before he can step in the ring against a seasoned veteran like Lon Dumont and come away with the win. I practiced with Biff a little after he finished wrestling Lon, and he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with once he catches on. Notice I said once, not if. He’s a stud, a natural athlete, who picks up on wrestling very easily. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t a candidate the boss calls up to smash poor unsuspecting jobber boys by the end of the year. Once his skills get up to par, I’d like to have a go with him.

Off topic, but I can’t wait to see this.

That’s it for now Firestorm fans!

Pro match live, progress report

The pro match I wrote about two blog posts ago (Better late than never), has been added to the store. Pro 1: Jonny’s Triple Threat Match is a 10:30 minute download and costs $15. It’s a very different match than you’re used to seeing me in. I play the baby face (good guy) in the bout and have more of an ariel arial based offensive attack. A triple threat match pits 3 wrestlers against each other simultaneously (no tags), the first person to score a pin-fall or submission victory is the winner. There aren’t supposed to be any alliances because of the everyman for himself format, but the heels in this match make a pact to beat me down and double team me every chance they get.

IMG_9601.PNG IMG_9592.PNG

Moving on to the gym update. I feel like I’ve been killing the workouts lately. I prevenatively took this week off from legs because my knee and hip didn’t feel right. It’s feeling 100% now but I’ll still hold off till next week just to be safe. Here’s a picture of me from about a month ago, actually they’re exactly a month old (March 16th).

IMG_9547.PNG

 

And here are some pictures of me from yesterday

IMG_9704.PNG IMG_9707.PNG

 

Besides the crazy hair (I had a hat on working out), you can see the improvements in muscle size and definition. I was actually in better shape late last week but I had one hell of a weekend in Boston. Lol. Back on track now though.

Check out this jobber…

IMG_9654.JPG

 

I like to do charity work every once in awhile, part of it involves taking the elderly out. Don’t fret Firestorm fans, Scott Williams didn’t come close to beating me in arm wrestling.

I’ll have another blog post up soon about the upcoming custom match taping and a couple more things I’m excited about.

Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel!
