Life Story
Ryan was born in Rome, Italy, on July 13th, 1979. He grew up in Rome, watching the Roman Pro Wrestling circuit. When Ryan got to be fifteen, he decided that he wanted to be a pro wrestler when he grew up. Ryan joined the Roman Pro Wrestling Circuit and toured Rome, delighting fans with his high Flying style. Ryan got noticed by Tajakmi Mistsuhara from Tokyo Pro Wrestling and was signed on the spot. Ryan left Rome for Tokyo and more money. Arriving in Tokyo, Ryan made his debut there on August 21st, 1995, when he was just sixteen. One day soon after, working a show, Ryan met a young street fighter from Brooklyn named Ven. the two became fast friends, and as it turned out, Ven was signed to the same promotion as Ryan. The two formed a successful tag team named the Night Assassins, capturing a number of singles and tag team titles. It was their second defense on their third run as tag team champions when Ven broke his foot doing a kick when his opponent held up a chair. Ven was put out for quite a while. In the meantime, Ryan was signed by the American promotion Pure Championship Wrestling and went stateside. Ryan, under the moniker the Rabid Mexican, met with success their also, capturing the Intercontinental and Cruiserweight titles before the promotion shut down from lack of funding. Ryan quickly found work for the Outsiders Championship Wrestling promotion. After adopting a more technical style Ryan found much success, becoming a three time OCW world heavyweight champion. When Ryan left that federation because of contract disputes, he joined up with his old friend from the PCW Showstopper in the Colosseum. Ryan was misused, and so quit the Colosseum after a few weeks. Ryan stayed away from wrestling for a while, but eventually found a home in the farm fed Americas Heartland Wrestling. Ryan got off to a bad start but eventually came back to win the Extreme title, keeping it for a long while before giving it to BeHolden as a gift. Ryan quit the wrestling world, for a while before coming back to join the GWF
