Professional wrestling career
Training and early years (2000–2006)
Meehan is the youngest of three brothers and he remembers watching WrestleMania 2, when
Jake Roberts used his snake. His favourite wrestlers were Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat and
the British Bulldogs.[12] However, he didn't watch wrestling until the 1990s, because his school
friends were fans. When WWF came to Anaheim, a man gave them tickets to an independent
show. After watching the show, he decided to train.[12] Meehan started his professional
wrestling training in February 2000 with Jesse Hernandez's Empire Wrestling Federation in
San Bernardino, CA under Bobby Bradley. During this time, Ryan (billed as Joey Shadow) was
part of a gothic stable, teaming with fellow trainees Sid Shadow and Stitches.[8] He then went
on to Rick Bassman's Ultimate Pro Wrestling in 2001 in Huntington Beach, CA and later El
Segundo, CA where he trained under Tom Howard and Brian Kendrick to whom he credits with
most of his training. He returned to training in 2004 at the Inoki Dojo in Santa Monica, CA
under Bryan Danielson.[13]
During his early years, Ryan became a regular at many southern California promotions
including EWF and UPW where he trained, as well as Revolution Pro Wrestling where he had
his first matches against Super Dragon and also competed against Mike Quackenbush and had
his first inter-gender matches with Sara Del Rey.[4] His first national exposure came when he
was brought into Gary Yap's EPIC Pro Wrestling where he has matches against Xtreme Pro
Wrestling (XPW) alum The Messiah, Frankie Kazarian and Brian Kendrick on high profiled
cards featuring names like Sabu, New Jack, Vampiro, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe and
Bryan Danielson.[4]
After training at the Inoki Dojo, Ryan received his first television exposure from NJPW-USA
Toukon Fighting Spirit.[14] Although mostly used as an enhancement talent, he was able to get
exposure by competing in matches against Bryan Danielson with CM Punk on commentary.[15]
On May 19, 2006, he competed in The Best of American Super Juniors Tournament, however
losing to Roderick Strong in the first round.[16]
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (2003–2015)
Joey Ryan is one of the six founders of SoCal promotion Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, collectively
known as the "PWG Six". PWG was formed when the founders grew tired of arguing with
promoters, feeling they knew more about the inner workings of professional wrestling and could
2 of 22 10/24/22, 22:20
therefore promote and book shows more effectively. Meehan said that they went in with low
expectations, never exceeding more than one show but if enough money was attained, the
production of a second show would be the goal.[12] He began in PWG as part of the
X-Foundation with Funky Billy Kim and "The Professional" Scott Lost. They teamed together
at PWG's first show, losing to the team of Adam Pearce, Hardcore Kidd, and Al Katrazz.[17] Ryan
then took part in the Bad Ass Mother 3000 tournament to determine the first PWG Champion.
Ryan made it to the finals, but lost to Frankie Kazarian.[18] Ryan then teamed with Scott Lost in
the Tango & Cash Invitational tournament for the PWG Tag Team Championship. They made it
to the semi-finals, but lost to Super Dragon and American Dragon.[19] Ryan and Lost won the
titles at the next show by defeating inaugural champions Homicide and B-Boy,[20] but lost them
in their first defense against Quicksilver and Chris Bosh.[21] Ryan continued teaming with the
X-Foundation, and regained the tag team titles with Scott Lost on June 19, 2004, at
Rocktoberfest.[22] Problems began within the X-Foundation, leading to a ladder match between
Joey Ryan and Scott Lost for the titles. Scott Lost won the match and chose Chris Bosh as his
new partner.[23][24] At Use Your Illusion 4, Ryan lost a 60 Minute Iron Man match to Super
Dragon.[25]
After a brief absence, Ryan began teaming with Scott Lost and
Chris Bosh, leading to uncertainty over his actions. He would then
set out to prove that he is the best technical wrestler. He challenged
and defeated wrestlers known for their great technical skills, such
as Alex Shelley,[26] Claudio Castagnoli,[27] Rocky Romero,[28] and
Chris Hero.[29] Though he won the matches, Ryan had to cheat and
use help from Lost or Bosh to win, since he would usually be
outwrestled each match. On December 3, 2005, at Chanukah Chaos
(The C's Are Silent), Joey Ryan beat Kevin Steen for the PWG
Championship after Super Dragon, who was feuding with the
Champion, gave Steen two Psycho Drivers.[30] He made his first
defense at CZW's Cage of Death 7 against El Generico.[31] Ryan
Joey Ryan at PWG
began defeating a number of wrestlers using some under handed
tactic or a sheer stroke of luck on his behalf. It was around this time
that Ryan changed his appearance to resemble Tom Selleck from
Magnum, P.I., which included a big moustache. He even changed his finisher name from the
Duff Drop to the Moustache Ride. Some of the wrestlers he has defeated include Chris
Kanyon,[32] Human Tornado,[33] Chris Bosh,[34] A.J. Styles,[35] Emil Sitoci,[36] Jonny
Storm,[37] Kevin Steen,[38] Chris Sabin,[39] Super Dragon, Necro Butcher,[40] Frankie
Kazarian,[41] Davey Richards,[42] and B-Boy.[43] Ryan became at the time the longest reigning
champion, and made the title a World title in the process by defending it in Europe.
He went on to form a stable known as The Dynasty, consisting of himself, Scorpio Sky, Scott
Lost, and Chris Bosh. The four screwed the then PWG World Tag Team Champs Super Dragon
and Davey Richards, ending their dominant reign as tag champs. Ryan would proceed to give
Super Dragon a Mustache Ride through two tables, putting him on the shelf. After holding the
PWG title for a little over a year, winning usually due to cheating and interference, Ryan lost the
title to Human Tornado in a Guerrilla Warfare match on January 13, 2007, at Based on a True
Story.[44] On January 27, 2008, Ryan and Scott Lost were awarded the PWG World Tag Team
Championship after the titles were stripped off Super Dragon and Davey Richards. [45] They
eventually lost the belts to El Generico and Kevin Steen on March 21 at 1.21 Gigawatts.[46]
During the summer of 2009, Ryan attempted to stop Chris Hero's reign as the PWG World
Champion in order to retain his record as the longest reigning PWG World Champion in history,
but after he failed to regain the title in two separate title matches, Hero broke Ryan's record on
August 17, 2009.[47][48] Shortly afterwards Ryan turned face and on September 5, entered the
3 of 22 10/24/22, 22:20
2010 Battle of Los Angeles, defeating Chuck Taylor in his first round match.[49] The following
night Ryan defeated Austin Aries and Claudio Castagnoli to advance to the finals, where he
defeated Chris Hero to win the 2010 Battle of Los Angeles.[50] After his win, Ryan dubbed
himself "The Hollywood Submission Machine" and adopted a new submission finishing
maneuver, the End Scene.[51][52] When Davey Richards was after the tournament stripped of the
PWG World Championship, Ryan and the three other Battle of Los Angeles semi-finalists,
Brandon Gatson, Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli, were placed in a four-way match to
determine a new champion.[53] On October 9, 2010, at The Curse of Guerrilla Island, Ryan
failed in his attempt to regain the PWG World Championship, when he was defeated by Claudio
Castagnoli.[54][55] Ryan received a one–on–one shot at the PWG World Championship on April
9, 2011, but was again defeated by Castagnoli.[56] Afterwards, Ryan began regularly teaming
with the returning Scorpio Sky and on August 20, the two defeated the RockNES Monsters
(Johnny Goodtime and Johnny Yuma) to become the number one contenders to the PWG
World Tag Team Championship.[57] On September 10, Ryan and Sky failed to capture the PWG
World Tag Team Championship from The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson).[58] After
signing a contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Ryan wrestled his PWG farewell
match on December 1, 2012, where he was defeated by Scorpio Sky.[59][60]
Following his release from TNA, Ryan returned to PWG at the

promotion's tenth anniversary event on August 9, 2013, teaming
with Peter Avalon and Ryan Taylor in a six-person opener, where
they were defeated by B-Boy, Candice LeRae and Willie Mack.[61]
On August 30, Ryan entered the 2013 Battle of Los Angeles, but
was eliminated from the tournament in his first round match by
Drake Younger.[62] The following day, Ryan formed the Best
Friends stable with Chuck Taylor and Trent? as the three defeated
B-Boy, Tommaso Ciampa and Willie Mack in a six-man tag team
match.[63] Ryan also formed a partnership with Candice LeRae,
which led to the two unsuccessfully challenging The Young Bucks
for the PWG World Tag Team Championship on October 19.[64] On
July 27, 2014, Ryan and LeRae defeated The Young Bucks in a
Guerrilla Warfare match to become the new PWG World Tag Team
Champions.[65] They lost the title to Monster Mafia (Ethan Page
and Josh Alexander) on May 22, 2015, in the opening round of the
2015 DDT4.[66]

on the promotion's MTV website and Video on Demand. Ryan was featured in a team with Disco
Machine and together they formed That 70's Team.[68] The duo instantly became cult
favorites of the fans of the show. Ryan is most noted for his applying of baby oil, use of his
inhaler and getting his wrestling trunks pulled down revealing his thong underwear all while in
the ring during the show. The team is featured on episode 2 against Team Dragon Gate (Masato
Yoshino and Genki Horiguchi), on episode 3 against D.I.F.H. (Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black),

National Wrestling Alliance (2006–2012)
In 2006, Ryan began regularly working for David Marquez's NWA brand, teaming with Karl
Anderson to form The Real American Heroes. Ryan and Anderson entered into the Copa de
Lucha tournament for the NWA in Las Vegas, Nevada representing America and reaching the
finals before losing to the Mexico team of Los Luchas which began a feud between the two teams
that lasted nearly two years. The return match in Las Vegas at the Fiesta Lucha event was a Flag
Match that saw Ryan and Anderson align themselves with Adam Pearce and his manager C.
Edward Vander Pyle. The Real American Heroes and Los Luchas faced off in Cage Matches,
First Blood Matches and more at events in Phoenix, Arizona, Hammond, Indiana, Kissimmee,
Florida and throughout Texas and California. At times, The Real American Heroes incited near
riots from the crowds, most notably in Las Vegas, NV and in Houston, TX.[69] On July 7, 2007,
Ryan and Anderson defeated the teams of Billy Kidman and Sean Waltman and Sicodelico Jr.
and Incognito to become the first post-TNA-era NWA World Tag Team Champions. After
several attempts, Los Luchas captured the titles away from Ryan and Anderson on February 10,
2008, in Las Vegas. Soon after losing the titles, Anderson began working full-time for New
Japan Pro-Wrestling and Ryan went on as a singles competitor in the NWA. He has had
multiple shots at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship facing off against the likes of
Blue Demon Jr., Adam Pearce and Colt Cabana only to fall short each time. In 2010, he was a
part of the launch of NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood and heavily featured with
standout matches against T. J. Perkins and Scorpio Sky. In early 2011, he took over booking for
the TV show which lasted until August when he had a falling out and left the company. [11] He

Comeback attempt (2021)

featuring Ryan and several other wrestlers.[113] It was subsequently revealed that Ryan's Bar
Wrestling was involved with promoting the event. All Elite Wrestling (AEW) promoter Tony
Khan stated that he would not allow AEW talent to appear if Ryan was involved. A Twitter
account for the event stated that FITE TV would be airing the show, however the organization
said on Twitter that they were not carrying the event. It subsequently issued an apology,
cancelled the event and deleted the account.[114] Ryan denied that he was "trying to come back
to wrestling" and said he had been asked to "wrestle a good friend as a way to go out and gain
some closure".[115]
Professional wrestling style and persona

Ryan's wrestling persona was described by the Los Angeles Times as a "macho, mustachioed
playboy who wore Speedos and sunglasses."[116] Ryan uses the "YouPorn Plex" as a signature
move, a crotch flip with theatrics.[117] The move, also known as the penis flip, sees the opponent
grab Ryan's crotch before Ryan supposedly uses his penis to flip them over.[118] Ryan stated on
episodes 251 of the Dude Soup podcast that his persona's look is inspired by 1980s characters
such as Magnum P.I.[119]

Class action lawsuit against Lucha Underground
On February 6, 2019, it was reported that Joey Ryan, Ivelisse Vélez, Thunder Rosa and El Hijo
del Fantasma (King Cuerno) had collectively filed a class-action lawsuit in California against the
El Rey Network and the Baba-G production company behind Lucha Underground. The group
claimed that their Lucha Underground contracts were not legal under California law, unfairly
restricting their ability to work in their chosen profession.[122][123] On March 28, 2019, it was
reported that the lawsuit was settled with the plaintiffs released from Lucha Underground. [112]
Allegations of sexual misconduct
In June 2020, at least 17 women accused Meehan of sexual assault and harassment. [124] After
initial accusations surfaced, Meehan posted a lengthy message on his Twitter account,
apologizing for invading people’s personal space. After that message was posted, a number of
women posted on Twitter allegations of misconduct. Wrestlers Joey Janela and Ryan Nemeth
(former roommate of Meehan), who previously worked for Meehan at Bar Wrestling, have
spoken against Meehan.[83]
Bar Wrestling's venue, Bootleg Theater, ended their relationship with the company due to the
allegations. Several people told the SoCal Uncensored website the promotion has ceased
operations.[83] On June 23, 2020, Impact Wrestling announced they terminated his contract as
a result of the allegations.[125] He was also edited out of every episode of Being the Elite in
which he appeared.[114]
Meehan addressed the allegations in an hour-long video posted on July 18, 2020. He has denied
nearly every accusation against him, showing messages between himself and the women which
he says shows evidence to dispute the claims made.[126]
On September 24, Meehan filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against three of his accusers for
defamation, in which he has stated he has lost upwards of $20,000 a month. The lawsuit
includes loss of followers on social media, loss of revenue from various projects, merchandise,
wrestling, and various other revenue streams; and multi-million dollar monetary relief. [127] The
lawsuit also states that Meehan wants defamatory statements retracted and or deleted. [127] He
filed another lawsuit in October, suing Impact Wrestling for $10 million for allegedly breaching
his contract for firing him after the allegations were made against him. [128] Meehan won a
default judgment against one of his accusers on January 20, 2021,[129] but a judge dismissed the
lawsuit involving all three accusers without prejudice in February due to lack service, meaning
Meehan retains the right to file against them again.[130] However, Meehan dropped some of the
lawsuits and stated that the only lawsuit he intends to pursue is the one against Impact. [115]
On March 8, 2021 in a statement released to SoCal Uncensored, Meehan stated for the past
eight months, he has been attending weekly Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous meetings both
in-person and on Zoom for his addictions of intrigue and validation and the emotional high he
gets from pursuing women.[115]
