History Wrestling / JoeyRyan

[[caption-width-right:350:Legalize Sleaze.]]On May 24th, 2012, for ''Impact Wrestling's'' second Gut Check Challenge, Wrestling/{{TNA}} introduced a young man with a {{Pornstache}} by the name of '''Joey Ryan'''. Joey, a brash, outspoken young man who looked for all the world like if Music/JonLajoie was a [[TheSeventies 1970s]] porn star, was an experienced wrestler who had performed for many independent promotions. In his tryout match, he was defeated by Wrestling/AustinAries. 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}}.

* CoolShades: Especially as Joey Hollywood, with white rims.

** His infamous "dickplex" against Danshoku Dino in {{Dramatic Dream Team|DDT}} definitely qualifies; Dino attempted a {{Groin Attack}}, only to find, to his dismay, that not only did the aforementioned "Balls of Steel" protect Ryan, they also allowed him to proceed to judo throw Dino using only his... yeah.

* RunningGag: Has ''twenty'' reigns as [[Wrestling/DramaticDreamTeam DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight champion]].

* GivingSomeoneThePointedFinger: During his matches he's usually looking for an opening for what's really important, getting right in the view of and shouting at the hard camera while dramatically pointing at it.

* LargeHam

* BreastAttack: Many of his intergender matches involve him using a move called the "Boobplex", where he hits his female opponent with a German suplex using her breasts as the handle; in turn, his tag team partner Candice [=LeRae=] has a variation she does involving [[GroinAttack male opponents' crotches]], appropriately dubbed the "Ballsplex".

* OlderHeroVsYougerVillain: The younger vs who he calls "the old fat guy" Wrestling/TommyDreamer.

* CarpetOfVirility: With an impressive hairline going down to his belly button. Often seems to pour water or oil on himself for added effect. He's even weaponized his body hair by pushing into the eyes of Wrestling/ChristinaVonEerie.

* OralFixationFixation: Lollipops. He can apparently make them last for days, if Robbie E is to be believed. And he started sharing them with [=LeRae=] after they teamed up.

* SmallNameBigEgo: The catalyst behind his 2012 campaign/feud.

* TwoDecadesBehind: Times two!

* 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 the way others might.

* CarpetOfVirility: With an impressive hairline going down to his belly button. Often seems to pour water or oil on himself for added effect.

* CrowdChant: Los Gallineros got "KFC", "Pollo Loco" and rooster calls.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Ryan used to have much shorter hair, a much thinner mustache, fingerless gloves, and be a much more serious competitor, to say nothing of El Gallinero.

Joey Ryan has been wrestling for over a decade. In July of 2013, Joey was released from his TNA contract and became a free agent. He is one of the founding members of Wrestling/ProWrestlingGuerilla, and is one half of its Tag Team Champions, the World's Cutest Tag Team (with Candice [=LeRae=].

* AHeroToHisHometown: He's from Hollywood California, so the Championship Wrestling From Hollywood crowds tend to give him a pass on a lot of things.

** X-Foundation in The Empire Wrestling Federation and Ultimate Pro with Scott Lost and Billy Kim.

* PowerTrio: Los Gallineros, he being the first El Gallinero of the three.

* BadassMustache[=/=]{{Pornstache}}: Purposefully tailored to be sexy, or what her perceives as such
* BaitAndSwitch: He's defeated Nick Madrid. Now number one contender Willie Mack is set to defend against Tyler Cintron...and then Joey Ryan's music plays.
* BreastAttack: Many of his so called intergender matches involve him using a move called the "Boobplex", where he hits his female opponent with a German suplex using her breasts as the handle; in turn, his girlfriend and tag team partner Candice [=LeRae=] has a variation she does involving [[GroinAttack male opponents' crotches]] appropriately dubbed the "Ballsplex".

* CounterAttack: Yeah, spreading your legs is natural when Irish whipping someone but be careful that Joey doesn't instead slide through them while holding your arm and them give you a pump handle suplex!

* CrowdChant: Los Gallineros got "KFC", "Pollo Loco" and rooster calls

* ItsAllAboutMe: Usually wants all attention on himself, however when he got it upon his return to Championship Wrestling Form Hollywood in 2013, [[GoneHorriblyRight he ended up getting annoyed that everyone had so many questions for him]].

* MaskedLuchador: He was El Gallinero #1
* PerkyFemaleMinion: Chase Walker was accompanied by Trisha [=LaFache=] in the Wrestling Retribution Project. Jade Chung as part of The Dynasty

* PowerStable: The Embassy in Wrestling/RingOfHonor
* PowerTrio: Los Gallineros, he being the first El Gallinero of the three

* SoreLoser: In 2009, after he failed to win the PWG World Championship from Wrestling/ChrisHero, who went on to surpass him in number of days he held the belt, meaning Joey Ryan was no longer the longest running Pro Wrestling Guerilla Champion of all time.

* TwoFirstNames: His most common gimmick has them anyway

* WrestlingDoesntPay: The commentators of Championship Wrestling From Hollywood implied he worked as a porn star when he wasn't wrestling(you don't say?).
