Re-uploaded and edited because WWE issued a copyright strike on the first one. 🥴
Hey man. We need new videos. I've watched all your videos multiple times already. 😂
They would. Wouldn’t they?
@@IronDivacan you really blame them , using pics of wrestlers who were at there company at the same time as your saying “like most wrestlers” he was addicted to cocaine along with other accusations. I kkow they are massive and have loads of money but most businesses woudk do similar
WWE hitting anything that moves.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607just like vince 🤪😉
Imagine getting fired for using cocaine in 1991 wwe. That’s a lot of cocaine
In 1994 I used to go to a bar called the Acropolis in Hamilton where Ion was a bouncer. Not many people messed around with him on patrol but a buddy of mine did get into a fight with someone and we got the hell out of there before he could get his paws on us. Also used to work out at the Bad Boy gym on Parkdale that he owned or used to own, not sure of the timing, guy was a legend in Hamilton at the time. Great video, cheers....
He is really physically talented 🤔👍🏿👍🏿
Getting kicked out of the OHL for being too physical is like getting kicked out of the NBA for being too tall
Or too black.
Or cheating
Too jackass for jackass
😂 in seriousness tho there different types so aggression , in hockey you want an enforcer ( not so much these days tho) but if your constantly giving away penalties at key times or getting bans and fines too much or especially if you are commuting dirty hits then your nit worth the hassle for your team
A jobber is booked to get the bigger talents over , I prefer enhancement talents as that’s what they really are . What I’m meaning is they aren’t booked to just lose , the winning or losing in a lot of wrestling matches doesn’t really matter so much, it’s about getting the right guy over and telling the story . Or it should be imo.
Very interesting and well narrated story. Never heard of the guy but was sucked into the story and kept interested,...good job.
650 bench back in the day was pretty much unheard of outside of professional lifters.The world record in 1984 was only 667 so just someone in a gym hitting 650 sounds cap to me.
Nobody cares what you think though
There's a picture of this guy in Chris Jericho's first book; they lived together in Louisville, I believe. Chris also tells about how he he and Ion almost came to blows because Ion wouldn't do the dishes right...
Jericho used to work in Smokey Mountain back when he was tagging with Lance Storm and at that time Bruiser was there as well so I 100% believe it also Jericho was in Bruisers episode of Dark Side of the Ring.
Lol how old was he like 20? Take a look at Ion, Chris washed those dishes 😂
I remember on the book ,Jericho brought up his Tattoo and I recall that Jericho says he was gonna go “Winnipeg style” on him. At the end He just chuckled and embraced him after….. Tru to the Crew
@@westnile21Chris Jericho narrated that whole series. He wasn’t just in that one episode. He’s literally the voice of the show.
@@LAshadesdo you know what season has the episode?
did some time with him in Thorold bucket, I have seen first hand the strength this man had. for that brief time we were friends.
Interesting stuff. I’ve been watching videos on your channel for 3 or 4 days now. I’ve watched almost all of them.
That dude was a beast he deserves much more he should of made it big
This guy always reminded me of Bobby from Son's of Anarchy. Weird job to make ends meet while also being a murderous biker.
My new favorite channel.
This would make a good movie.
They made a mini documentary on him in the series called Dark Side of the Ring season 3 episode 11.
It actually would,...not rags to riches Hollywood horseshit, but a roller coaster ride of successes and failures.
Damn, he did too much blow for the WWF?
I remember seeing him work as a bouncer at Banisters (Strip Joint) in Hamilton. He threw a guy out of the bar by grabbing the guy by his face.
great video
If you were involved in the street life in Hamilton Ontario in the 90s you had dealings with this man lol
I met Johnny k9 in prison in BC 2012 or so. Nice guy really. Heart attack when he got out to half way house. Beautiful person I liked Johnny alot. He was very charsima type of guy. Prison guards liked him. He made us all laugh. Rip big guy.
Guy was a rat tho lol
@@ThisIsSparta300 ya unfortunately MOST gangsters end up RAT. Canada trend
Calling him a WWE star is pretty generous when he worked there as a jobber. I guess "SMW Star" doesn't have the same ring to it.
He was a star to the Jobbers
Well,...first off it was the WWF as the WWE didn't exist yet, but still at that time being a part of that company was top tier stuff for the industry regardless of the role. I agree he wasn't a "star" per se, as that's back when I actually was a fan and never heard of him but still an accomplishment to be proud of none the less. I hope I didn't come off as a wrastlin nerd dickhead , just makin conversation.
@@michaelfox2433you didn’t come across as a dickhead . I tend to agree he wasn’t a star tho, at the time your talking of there was still territories and wwf wasn’t as big yet , I’d say he was obviously seen as someone who could be come a star by some at that point
If your hired by the WWE as a worker in the ring, your considered and called a WWE Superstar. Straight up.
@@christopherhughes3381 Ok, again he was not part of WWE because it didn't exist yet. Seems way to many people here think pro wrestling has always been the multi million dollar business it is now,...it has not. The only ones that ever made it to the pinnacle of "star" were those that lived, ate, slept, and existed only for the show,...he was never that.
This was a really good guy who got used and screwed over by more people than anyone can count
Great guy for a murderer
You don't get that high in an OMCG by being a good guy
No. Don't be naive.
@@ComicBookGuy420 stfu, those who know don't talk and those that talk don't know.
Lol my man got the background game soundtrack for Hitman 3 my guy I hear you excellent choice.😊😂😂🤘🏾
Hockey DB can confirm he never played in the OHL for the kitchener rangers
Man they were geeked out.
"WWE Star" is really stretching it.
You know Jim thought that he had a legitimate kill during the time he was working at Smokey Mountain Wrestling on top of the scary friends he had
Jims an idiot
I liked the Hitman music in the background!
I worked with John at the Valley City Mfg Co. Dundas Ont. a very long time ago , he spoke of a supped up Javlin he had ? I wondered ? then I seen it come screaming down King St at 7am and pick me up at bus stop , Metallic Purple , Cragars , Music blaring , I never knew John after that, but it was evident then he was not a dude to be toiled with , I think he'd just done his 1st bit ? and probation got him the job. He was not aggressive towards anyone when we worked with him.
My husband went to school with him and they were friends
probably best that way... lol
This... is... CRAAAZY AF!🤯
I was in jail with Johnny k9 on 4c right and he ran the range 😂Barton street lol good times
shit hole lol
This guy has the look of a biker figures.😂
He would show up in Niagara falls occasionally
Now I gotta find out what the Bacon brothers are so infamous for.
BLT's.
@@thedude3291 and a bunch of other crazy shit.
The Bacon Brothers are 3 brothers from Abbotsford BC . Who started a drug gang called the Red Scorpions. Oldest Brother Johnathan was shot dead , Jared is a convict drug dealer , & Jamie was involved in the Surrey 6 murders.
@@TheQuinn8 Is there a documentary on them anywhere that you know of?
@TheQuinn8 they didn't start it, they took it over. The founders are the guy that told on everyone in the six case and a guy that got killed at a halfway house.
You cant mention Stu and Brett Heart and leave out Owen Heart.
If it wasn't for Tim Horton's Then none of this would have happened.
My dad's cousin owned bad boys gym in hamilton
My friend's wife's second cousin once removed actually owned the corner store that he shopped his hot-dogs at.
People saying he wasn't a star...
If you beat the Macho Man clean you are a rockSTAR!
a murdering Rockstar
It was rigged. Hence the joggers. Scripted. He was brought in to lose and you think he… Christ 🤔
@@markinnes4264it happens to the best of us
19:35 I was actually a block around when the oldest bacon (jonathan) was shot could faintly hear the shots
Bent as a nine bob note!
Never heard of him...and I'm a huge WWE fan
8:39 fat pat 😂
He goes from camp slapstick to an outlaw biker in leather. This macho stuff is quite camp sometimes.
There's already a Dark side of the Ring episode on this guy.
In the words of Bugs Bunny...what a maroon.
The pic at 6 mins cracked me up. Talk about coke eyes
I think they did a Dark Side of The Ring on him.
So I guess if anyone wants to be a celebrity they need to criminals first. lol
I was friends with his stepson Andrew in early 90s
This is who undertaker wishes he was
That was quite a biography. MC's kid brother. Starting off on the wrong foot in life. Not much chance for him to be somebody he was not.
I grew up with this guy,,and new his family well when were teenagers.
@@dickwadd6190 lmao
Good story , Although you were off on some of the professional wrestling history on his career still a very good video
Well, that wasn't really the point of the story and was just an aspect of his life that he decided to not work toward anyway.
He was off on a lot of the video, this was not a well researched video.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkErprove it
Do your own research, not hard to find out.@@LAshades
Is there a particular reason you Left us with this slow pan up at this point in the video???
6:40
I feel like we all could have gone without that one.
The red devils hang out right down the street from me in NC...
My dad did work on his car dude gave me an iPod & told me to make sure I respect my father. The only dude I ever seen my dad scared of. Man was psychotic. He once tried blowing up the police station
To be fair, he only intended to blow up the strip club.
@@KJ-tz7vc lmao is that what happened 😂
Never heard of the guy
That mugshot of him is way funnier than it should be
Your title makes it seem like he was a member of the WWF roster. He was not. He was just a jobber hired when they were in town. He also had his last match in the WWF in 1988. This is very easy to look up. This would also stop his NJPW dates for obvious reasons.
All the information is half assed....
smartest thing Ion did was punch that guy in the face in front of the cop. that saved his life for a 2nd time.
I was in Barton street jail with him he’s a scary guy
Never heard of him *shrugs*
3:52 god Hardcore holly had no Charisma at all.
so where is the biker president part?
whenn opened ham chaper from bernie
The Bacon Brother Gang sounds like the most bland Canadian gang name you could come up with.
11:05 Of course they did. Because Canadia 🇨🇦
DID HE BOTHER TO LEARN TO RIDE?
The moral of this story... Is that Canada is fuckin crazy
Who’s collecting all these decks?
He looks like karrion kross
People don't die from pepper spray
I new him and his family
Fat Pat. Good handle.
"were Satan's Choice, we have low IQ and act like ogres, how dare you have standards!"
after the Outlaws took over most of their chapters in the 70's the remaining Choice chapters were a joke
Interesting lol
I think he would have been a big star if he went to ECW. His hard hitting and roughneck style would have gotten over well with the blood thirsty fans
Meh..I wouldn't..as Paul Heyman didn't pay his wrestlers at ECW..from what I heard.
@@jolly7041you’re irrelevant
Who??
Its ion but you say it like ian
Not ion
I thought they was called a heel
A "Heel" is just a bad guy but he wins just as much as the good guys..."Faces." Jobbers are guys that get beat up and/or just lose in the lead up matches to the names and main events.
Who?!
Sorry but you can be a biker, live bikes etc n I’m sure not all biker gangs are scum but I have no time for ppl who fight , kill and commit so many crimes just for the hell of it. I mean a club has no gang colours for good reasons , it doesn’t make you cool to shout out we won’t comply to that then basically take over the place and get in a stand off with police . All those big rugged guys scaring the shit out of strippers , sorry that’s just scummy imo.
Why the fuck wasn't his official cause of released? It's Owed to his family 🔥🔥 THAT'S WHAT OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS BECOME
They need to make a Dark Side of the Ring episode about this feller
Season 3 Episode 11
Bra. Lol
Mick Foley definitely smelled horrible.
Who?????
Seriously? Do you have to be familiar with someone for their story to be interesting? You literally never hear of anyone,...until you do.
I’m sorry he don’t look scary at all
He was a WRESTLER not a star. You clearly know nothing about the WWE.
Or gang life in Canada. This story is so half assed it's not even funny.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr complain but don't offer any corrections or solutions. just like a woman. embarrassing
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEryou’re a loser bro
Depressing end to an otherwise action packed life.
Canadian bikers, scary stuff 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Canadian bikers have one of the bloodiest feuds in criminal history with over 500 dead. Rock machine vs hells angels in Montreal but I guess tough guys like you have way more kills under your belt. Ion could shoulder press 500 lbs but again that's nothing for a hero like you.
How exactly does an imaginery line in the ground make a biker less tough?
Either way you wouldn't have the balls to say anything in person no matter what country they were from.
I suggest you Google Hells Angels Bandidos turf war in Ontario. They were anything but polite
WWF jobber not WWE star
Basically the same thing, but not.
WWE didn't even exist yet.
Not a WWE star at all.
I never thought stuff like this happened in Canada. Just always assumed everyone there was a fruit
No, that's just you projecting your fantasies, cupcake.
Lol
“Like most wrestlers at the time he was addicted to cocaine” wow that’s a big and false statement , it’s also outrageous to say most. Putting up the picture of hulk at that exact time was also a bit nasty. Your so obviously finding little bits of info here and there and just repeating it, just cos you read it doesn’t make ur fact . I get wrestlers could be wild . Still you need to watch what you say when accusing ppl of stuff.
Umm sorry to burst Ur bubble but it's very well storied that booze, weed, coke and painkillers were what kept 99% of those guys going.
You show me a pro wrestler, past or present that say they don’t do 💩, and I will show you someone that is so full of 💩
Why bring out old news especially on a MC club people need to find another form of news why grab MC CLUBS ..its the clubs who suffer not the individual for attention even those "" OUT BAD "" away from clubs single the person LEAVE THE CLUBS OUT .. anything to grab attention let's use CLUBS as the strong source and calling them "" BIKERGANGS""
You'd think that they'd back off the MCs,but it's getting worse especially certain groups wanting to call them gangs!!! I don't know what happened to live and let live, but suddenly that's too hard to do for those individuals.
@@rpmfreak9150 theirs many reasons why I got out the profiling and few others but ya know EVERYONE loves the past and how and why clubs use social media is way beyond me what was once left alone but theirs sooo many clubs that Leo's call themselves MC and go out to prove who they are with a rag I had a run in down in Lee county cos who I still support a very Dominant Florida club and I'm like get over it if it wasn't that they went beyond a once protocol you wouldn't exist sure it pissed them off I don't care I'll stand my ground support who I support and have a few things that stand out and catches eyes of others but that's my choice..people who know nothing set clubs ALL MC CLUBS on a radar that some clubs will NEVER GET PASS THE PAST that all was a different time back then but these who do these UA-cam for fame to collect clout, nooo nooo I get it but don't excops use it wanna be journalist use it NEWS MEDIA ADDS WHATEVER THEY SEE FIT ..
Cry us a river.
@@dankirchner3676 that's right!!
Calm down Francis...
I don't know how you got all this info buddy but be careful where you snoop around.
😂 this isn’t even half of it, guy ratted many more times than this. Also played a way bigger role in UN. I’d say this is actually pretty uninformed tbh
Never heard of the guy. A "star"?
WWE jobber maybe
based guy
To fake nice try
