I had a custom video taping opportunity come together somewhat last minute for this coming weekend.

You know the drill by now. Visit the Custom Videos page to submit your script. I’d like to have everything in and finalized by Thursday night or first thing Friday morning 4/3 or 4/4. That way it’s all organized and I’m not rushing around the day before I fly out to get things agreed upon or packed last minute.

Well, not quite. A little less than 24 hours to go. Keeping this short and sweet since my body is still on East Coast time and I want to get to bed.

A last minute custom video shoot has materialized for tomorrow 3/22/25. To help expedite things include as much detail as possible when you send your script in. I’m filming in LA tomorrow around 7 pm local time.

And of course there’s that Jonny Firestorm guy. I’ve heard he’s good. The photo of me in the promotional image was taken on 3/20/25, so it’s current.

Custom Videos

I’m going to be doing a slightly less ambitious trip across the country again.

I’ll be available for private matches and filming custom videos.

My schedule is mostly planned out and booked so far, but there is some wiggle room to add a stop or two in at one point during the trip. Especially for the dates that don’t have cities next to them. Right now the best chance to stop in anywhere not listed is the end of March between my Cleveland and Chicago visits.

I will have access to a ring in Vegas and LA. Everywhere else is a hotel match. So just keep that in mind for custom videos and private matches.

March 16: Houston, TX

March 17-19: Las Vegas, NV

March 20-22: Los Angeles, CA

March 23-24: Seattle, WA

March 25: Dallas, TX

March 26-27: Cleveland, OH

March 28-31: Open for more stops, or I might head home for a few days to rest.

April 1-2: Chicago, IL

It’s possible I’d stay April 3rd in Chicago, but I’m not sure just yet. If I do, I’d have that day totally free. I’d like to fill those late March dates with stops. Once I’m home I’ll want to rest for the next week or so. The idea of having to unpack, not really get to settle back in just to pack back up in a few days isn’t overly appealing to me.

It’s hard to believe, but March is my 20 year Firestormiversary! All matches released for the next year will have a little 20 year celebratory into. I have a few other things planned, but don’t want to over promise anything if they don’t come to fruition as they require a bit of cooperation from other people, BG East, etc. I’m obviously planning on reflecting on the past 20 years more than I a quick paragraph to open up a blog.

I finally made it out to a WrestleFest event. I don’t know what it is with this event, but something always seems to come up that derails my plans. This year wasn’t any different. My uncle passed away the week leading up to the event. So a lot of my time and energy was diverted into everything surrounding that, making sure cousins coming in from out of town were all set with travel plans, places to stay etc. I was on the fence about not going out to NYC at all, but then it worked out that I could get out there for Saturday and Sunday before coming home for the services on Monday night. We knew it was coming, this was much sooner than expected but it was still sad. He was the reason I started wrestling to begin with, and my first wrestling coach.

I took a late train out to NYC on Friday night. I figured it’s easier than driving since I could take a nap, and it’s pretty much just as quick. Boy was I wrong. I had to sit through 4.5 hours of delays. I was delayed longer than what the travel time was supposed to take. So instead of getting in just before midnight on Friday night and being able to go to the kickoff party, I got in at 4:30 am Saturday morning. Very tired and cranky. Thankfully JJ Hart let me crash in his room since I originally had other plans for the night that couldn’t happen at that point.

After waking up and having brunch, it was right to work assisting with some BG East matches.  Lips sealed on who was involved in them, but they were all good matches. These boys were all into each other, which always makes filming more enjoyable. Then it was time to get ready to head to the event I was looking forward to the most, the Live WrestleFest show.

I got to the venue a little early to schmooze with the boys before doors opened. It was my first time meeting many of them. I was bored before heading to the fest and made Jonny Firestorm WrestleFest trading cards to hand out to people as they entered the live event. For those of you who got a card and didn’t fully read the back, there is a special WrestleFest promo code at the bottom for a discounted Club Firestorm Membership! For those of you who were unable to attend, here’s what the card looks like, minus the promo code. I wonder how many NYC trash bins were littered with my face by the end of the night? Anyways…

Watching the first half of the show was a lot of fun. I enjoy live wrestling events, but it seemed like the audience was a little hesitant or unsure of how to react to things at first. So you’ll hear me loudly leading some cheers and chants if you watch the footage. After a little push, they were all hooting and hollering all on their own. Then right around intermission I disappeared, luckily nobody noticed and the few people who knew what was coming kept their mouths shut.

Gabe Steel got things going again against Drew Harper. After he tossed Drew out of the ring, he made an open challenge to anybody who thought they were man enough to take him on. Whatever poor wrestler answered the call was quickly dispatched of. He made the challenge again, this time Chase Adams answered. He had been on referee duty all night and eager to get in the ring. Chase burst through he door and was about half way though his “Charming as fuck” catch phrase when I had heard enough. Love me some Chase, but if anybody was going to knock an overconfident Gabe back down to size in front of a live audience there’s only one man for the job. The audience saw just an arm pop though the door, scruff Chase and yank him to the back. After a moment, I walked out and the collective “Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!” from the audience let Gabie Poo know that he was about to instantly regret this open challenge.

I didn’t realize it till I got into the ring, but Gabe was regretting a few things already. Live shows are challenging. Something always goes wrong, and that night was no different. When I got close enough to the ring to see his face, I noticed Gabe had a nice little lump on his eye that was starting to swell. I was assessing the situation during as I was entering the ring. I decided that kicking him in the nuts was the way to go. That way I’d have a chance to look at it closer and check in with him. I wanted to heel Gabe, but not put him in any real danger. After checking on him he said “I’m good, the show must go on, fuck that” (about stopping the match early). So I proceeded with his ass kicking. I was getting a little nervous looking at his eye swell up more and more as time went on, so I brought him to a corner to rub my crotch in his face. Not just because it’s fun, but so I could get a closer look at his eye without pausing the action. The swelling was much worse, he was still down to keep going, but it was obvious that I just needed to get through this as quickly and safely as possible. The crowd still seemed to be into the match, but it was hard not to be a little disappointed with how things went.

Gabe and I have a lot of fun wrestling usually. He’s very capable of putting on a great show, not just being a Jonny punching bag. I was hoping to have something more involved happen, a match to showcase his skill set better. But, with the situation being what it was, I think we made the best of what it. I haven’t seen the match yet, I hope it was entertaining for everybody. Despite the injury, Gabe was very happy with the crowd response and the match in general. I had fun being able to perform, and there’s always next year to put more of a show. I’m just glad we got though it, the crowd was responsive, and no further injury occurred. We’re actually texting right this second about it all. Footage from the show, and the match should be available soon.

After changing back into normal people clothes I was able to catch the last few matches on the show while hanging with some of the other guys. Kid Vicious was in the house, so it was fun to catch some ‘rasslin and compare notes with him.

After the show I had planned on attending the singlet party, but as soon as I got back to my room to shower and sat down on the bed I was out cold. Exhausted from the train fiasco and working all day. Oh well. I’m not drinking at the moment, so I’m not sure how fun all the nightlife stuff would’ve been anyways. Sunday was full of BG East tapings, so there wasn’t much free time to do anything, much less any of the scheduled WF events. I think next year I’d like to attend the fan panel/expo or whatever it was called, as well as some of the live wrestling sessions or classes. It was great meeting a lot of wrestlers and interacting with people attending the fest. Sunday night I met up with Kayden/Ash/Freddy. I know we’re all local to each other, but it’s tough to find free time to get together.

Monday was pretty low key, I filmed some matches for the website and for Club Firestorm. One of them will be dropping pretty soon. Maybe check back on the 1st 😉 I had dinner with some of the boys and then headed to the train station to get back home. No complications on the return trip thankfully.

I’m looking forward to next years event, until then I hear Toronto is a great place to visit. Maybe in July? What do you guys think?

Knock, knock?

(I’m assuming you’re all saying who’s there?)

Custom Videos with…

(Custom Videos with who?)

Ahhhhh, I’m glad you asked. Here’s the lineup!

Ok, so I won’t quit my day job. I’m a better wrestler than I am a joke writer. Anyways.

Last minute availability for this Sunday only (Jan 12th)

Christian Thorn is in town for a day. He’s super fun to wrestle with. Could be ring/mat/hotel match.

But now, the meat and potatoes of this post

February Talent Roster

Also in the mix, but waiting for photos; Ethan Axel Andrews!

A lot of guys, but very limited availability. So even though we’re a month out, the sooner scripts come in and get squared up. The better.

Locations might be limited. I have looked into some unique locations to film in but would need the facility rental added onto the cost of the match. If not, it’s likely that these could be hotel matches. Some other locations could be a ring, mat area, or even a BDSM Dungeon.

Also, keep in mind that the matches don’t have to involve me. I can just produce them. I do enjoy being in them, and you are here because you’re a Jonny fan. However some scenarios. I just don’t do, and some of these boys do. If you know of their work, and know they do x fight type of stuff feel free to ask. Just keep in mind, it’s usually a one per day type of match so getting those done are even more difficult schedule wise.

As always, read and use the CUSTOM VIDEOS PAGE as the guide when sending your request in, and shoot me an email!

One last attempt at humor,

I’ve forgotten all my boomerang jokes… give me a minute, I’m sure they’ll come back to me.

Yep, sticking to wrestling.

Year of the snake? Nahhhh…. it’s the year of the heel. Of course my opinion is biased but you’re reading the blog of the best one going still. I’m definitely feeling older, but the wheels haven’t fallen off yet. I’m still wrestling circles around people and enjoying doing it. I’m just more sore the next few days. While I can still physically do this at a high level, I’m going to make an effort to produce more matches in 2025. That’s my resolution. I’d like to say, I’ll write more blog posts, but we all know that’s not likely.

The US tour went pretty well. Overall it was a positive experience, there were a few negatives. I won’t dwell on them, but they’re going to be used as learning experiences going forward. It was great to finally put some faces with names that I’ve seen on video orders, or custom match requests for years. Everybody I did meet was super nice, I didn’t have a bad experience meeting anybody at all.  It’s been awhile since I’ve really branched out and wrestled new people, I’ve mostly stuck to the Boston area or places I know and am comfortable with and kept the same circle of regular people. I’ll definitely be doing more tours in 2025, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements.

This tour was pretty ambitious. I knew going into it that it would be challenging. And it was. I was ready for it from a physical standpoint, the wrestling was the easy part for me. Even on days that I did 3-5 matches. It was everything else that started taking a toll on me towards the end of my trip. Between the constant time zone changes, crazy travel schedule, the challenges of eating healthy and regularly, I was thankful to be going back home by the end of it.

In addition to private wrestling, I also met up with some guys to film some matches. One of them is out right now. With the exception of the man under the mask, and Chase LaChance, everybody I filmed with was a first time opponent for me. So I hope you’ll enjoy watching the matches as much as I enjoyed filming them. My biggest regret was not really having a plan heading into the final day of filming. It was my second to last stop and I was pretty close to being mentally checked out after waking up at 5 am to get to the airport and have multiple flight delays before crossing time zones again. The match was this very impromptu 4 person iron man match that we all just kinda naturally came up with the idea of doing on the spot. Even though I think it’s a fine match, it could have been so much more had this been done after a good nights sleep. I do think seeing these guys as they actually are, wrestling how they normally would just for fun and not as scripted does have its appeal. I just wish that I was more on top of my game to help navigate it a little better. I’ll have to go back for rematches to make it up to them.

I didn’t have a lot of downtime to do much in each city, but there were a few highlights. I did take a day out in LA and go check out the Avengers Campus. On a morning out in Pasadena I decided to go hike Mount Wilson. It was spur of the moment, so I wasn’t ready at all. No water bottles, no snacks, not dressed for it, but the views were amazing. Pictures don’t do it justice. Then out in Vegas, Kid Leopard, Kid Vicious and I all went to see the Michael Jackson ONE show, and I saw the Drag Race residency at the Flamingo one other night.

Since being home, I’ve taken some much needed R&R. I had a low key holiday season, I spent the week of New Years down Newport, RI. Even though it’s freezing cold by the ocean in January in New England, it’s still a very charming area. And since it’s the off season, there’s not nearly as many drunken college kids everywhere.

Now that all of that is over, it’s back home and back to the grind. I have a relatively empty first half of January, but then things start picking up. I’ll be in Fort Lauderdale at the end of the month for a small BG East taping. I’m planning on staying an extra few days to film some matches for my site and hopefully film a custom match or two. Maybe on the way down I’ll make a few stops down the coast for private matches if there’s enough interest?

Oh, right. I should’ve led with this, but for those of you who don’t follow me on Instagram, I’ve recently lost a lot of weight! I took a little break from things over the holidays, but I started back on it today. I’m weighing in at 185 lbs. So I’m hoping to be down around 170/175 by the time I get to Florida. Depending how I’m looking and feeling by then, I might switch up my gym routine and focus on packing on some muscle. I haven’t been doing anything crazy, 2-3 gym sessions a week, 20-30 minutes of cardio, 20-30 minute of weight lifting each session. Other than that it’s all been diet. I’ve cut out drinking entirely (well, I drank in Vegas, and had a cocktail here and there while on the road), I don’t eat red meat anymore, I’ve cut out all salt and sugar (as much as humanly possible), it’s lots of veggies, fruits and fish/chicken. Basically, I’m only shopping on the outside isles at the grocery store. So hopefully in another months time you’ll be seeing a leaner, buffer Jonny.

Seattle is a 50/50 toss up right now. If I do not go to seattle, I may move Indianapolis into that timeframe for one day and then add a San Francisco stop in.
I might consolidate some of the Texas stops, particularly rolling Austin into Dallas or Houston and then extending one of those cities for a day.

Rare Custom Match Opportunity With….. KID KARISMA

This is contingent on me being in a certain city. I’ve talked with the one and only, KID KARISMA. He’s willing to dust off the old speedo and take a very limited number of custom matches.

They are likely to be hotel matches unless I can find a ring to rent.

These will be premium priced matches, as I have limited time, and he’s only interested in doing a few matches. So, read the Custom Match Page and shoot me an email to get the ball rolling. This is a very rare opportunity to get one of the most iconic wrestlers in BG East history doing a custom match for you. He’s only done one other custom match taping ever.

I’m going to be making my way around the country in late November through mid December!

That’s right, the entire country. I’m excited because there’s definitely some states I haven’t been to yet. Not that I’m hitting all of them, but California for example, is a place I haven’t been to. So I’m definitely hoping to get a few matches out that way.

I think right no my general idea might be staring in Boston and working my way West and staying on the North half of the country. Then when I hit Cali I’ll head South and make my way down the coast before shooting over to Las Vegas. I’m there for a few days because I’ll be linking up with the BG East crew for a small taping. From there  I’ll head East, definitely stopping in Texas and I’ll make my way back towards home from there.

I’ll be taking as many private matches as I can squeeze into my schedule. So if you’ve ever wanted to wrestle, this could be the only time I’ve ever been in your area. I’m going to see how things shake out with where people are before posting any tentative plans. So read the Private Match Page and shoot me an email. I’ll also be filming custom matches, and matches for my website and Watch Fighters on this trip. So if you have somebody you want me to match up with, or you’re a wrestler shoot me an email and we can link up maybe.

Making this short and sweet. A stud filled taping just fell into my lap for next weekend. I’m still looking to add other wrestlers but for now the main event starts are

Christian Thorn

I’ve never worked with Christian, I’ve met him a few times during some of Cameron’s stuff. I’m excited to have him suddenly become available in my neck of the woods. He’s a great talent.

Braden Charron

You all know who he is. He’s been a superstar since he first stepped foot inside the BG East ring. He’s in competition shape for an upcoming body building show. If you like ripped hunks, don’t pass up a prime Braden.

Jonny Firestorm

There’s this guy as well…. whoever he is 😉

I’m looking to add some more new faces and some of my favorite local wrestling studs. So stay tuned for updates.

I’d be filming next weekend, either Friday or Saturday. November 8th or 9th. Ideally scripts should be in and all the details settled by the 6th. If you’re interested in a match, I’d recommend  getting your script in early. Anytime I’ve worked with Braden in the past my inbox fills up fast.

You know the drill, read this and shoot me an e-mail. Custom Videos
