History Wrestling / JoeyRyan

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: When he was accused of stealing the Championship Wrestling From Hollywood Television Title Belt, Ryan claimed that possession was 9/10ths of ownership. Needless to say, that wouldn't justify theft if Cintron had actually pressed charges.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: How he was able to wrestle in Championship Wrestling From Hollywood while still employed by TNA, apparently. There were actually worries from Championship Wrestling From Florida officials that "That other company" might threaten them with legal action if they filmed him for their television program.

* BaitAndSwitch: #1 contender Willie Mack is set to defend against Tyler Cintron...and then Joey Ryan's music plays.

The next week, when it came time for the judges to make their decision on hiring Joey, Wrestling/AlSnow said yes, and Bruce Prichard and Taz gave a resounding no. To say Joey was unhappy with the decision would be a vast {{Understatement}}.

* CasanovaWannabe / DiscoDan: It was a lot more prominent on the Indys, but there are still whispers of it now. His most popular gimmick was a sleazy lecherous creep who acted like he was pulled right out of the 70s.

* BadassMustache / PornStache

* WouldHitAGirl: Possibly tying into the Andy Kaufman impression above, he's wrestled a fair share on inter-gender matches on the independent circuit. It probably helps that he's only 5'9", meaning he doesn't tower over female wrestlers they way others might.

Joey Ryan has been wrestling for over a decade, and is definitely one to watch on the TNA roster.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Joey had been wrestling for ''12 years'' prior to appearing in TNA.

* ItsAllAboutMe:

* ShoutOut: During a Pro Wrestling Guerrilla appearance, he surprised the audience with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYMdKV-C4Dk&list=UUJ_22ZquTaC0CHALFpQjK_w&index=4 this]] impression of ''AndyKaufman,'' of all people.

For the next several months, Joey Ryan would make his presence known on every Gut Check segment, heckling the judges and even tossing his drinks at them. [[http://www.youtube.com/user/joeyryantube Through his Youtube account]], Joey would call out Taz for his shortsightedness and failure to recognize his talent, before turning his attention to Al Snow as well. Throughout all these promos, he'd refer to his supporters as "the 87%ers," based off a poll on TNA's website on whether Joey should get a contract. Finally, Al Snow called out Joey on the October 4th edition of ''Impact'' and suckered him into a match at ''BoundForGlory,'' with a TNA contract on the line. Joey [[TheBadGuyWins won that match]] with the assistance of a sudden appearance of, and subsequent alliance with, Matt Morgan.
