Even though I am promoting, I'll still don the paint and stomp the hell out of someone if needed! I also produce the DVD for the IPWA and other ventures. Yeah, I know sounds kinda geekish, but it's actually relaxing.
I also, like to hang out with my son and three step kids. Doing the normal Dad thing.
I took it upon myself to hook them up on their game systems, the PS2, Xbox and GameCube are all hooked up to Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround Sound.
I still have the XBOX 360 hooked up in our bedroom.
My name on XBOX Live is THENEMESIS4XL.
Music
XBOX LIVE 360
From Beethoven to Insane Clown Posse,
I can listen to almost everything and can find something in it that strikes a chord with me.
I'm a huge country music listener, if it's Big and Rich or Johnny Cash, count me in.

About me: I was raised in Brookville, Ohio. I graduated from high school in 1993. In 1995 I became a pro wrestler, working under the name of J.L. Storm, the enforcer for the Syndicate. Over the next several years I would wrestle and hone my craft to become one of the most hated big men in the ring.
In 1999 while traveling with the UCW, I became the U.S. Champion. Only losing the belt to a retiring Maniac Mark Mustang several months later. In late 1999, I left the region.
In early 2000, a darker figure loomed in the shadows and Dark Storm was born. I hated where I was living, away from my friends and family, but still close to Indy wrestling. Dark Storm arrived in Cleveland, and again, I became hated. I was approached by a few people about running a gimmick they had and I agreed. The Boogeyman was on the horizon and all hell was about to break loose. For the next few years I wrestled off and on as either J.L. Storm, Dark Storm, or Justin Storm, I saved the Boogeyman for those special occasions.
In 2002, I returned to the region that made J.L. Storm famous, and the place that gave me a spot in the PWI 500, I began working for OCW, during this time, I became very hated. I went back to UCW in 2004 during the reunion show, with a new manager and a new level of evil strapped on for a ride.
The Boogeyman Justin Storm made his debut for UCW with Voodoo facing off against Shawn Riot. After 15 minutes of shear hell for Riot, Voodoo gained the attention of the ref, and The Boogeyman let the whole crowd know why his Barbed Wire Kendo stick is his best friend. Riot was beaten, and the crowd in Dayton, knew they saw the beginning of the Carnival.
In 2004, while working at a inter-promotional show, during a hardcore battle royal, I clotheslined Shawn Riot over the top rope, my feet landed on a chair that was laying on the floor. I slipped on the chair, slammed my back onto the ring apron and ruptured two disk in my back.
Told by my doctors to walk away or risk being paralyzed, I walked away. BUT!, I couldn't go out like that.
One last time, in 2005 I was called by DCW for a battle royal in Piqua, Ohio. During which I gave a receipt to a guy that had busted me open hardway in 1997. After spiking Wildchild, or whatever name he was using through the mat, i eliminated myself disappearing once again. In Late 2006 I resurfaced yet again under the paint of the Boogeyman and began working for the GCW/XWX. In 2007 after my mom passed, I walked away again from in ring competition and took a new role, manager and owner. J.L. Thrush has arrived and began what is about to become the biggest thing in pro wrestling. THE IPWA.
I am a remarried father of one, my wonderful wife has 3 kids. After 11 years of pro wrestling, I am retired,(we never fully retire, unless we are dead. LOL). I also hold 2 degrees, An Assoc. in Audio Engineering & an Assoc. in Audio/Video Production. I also run my own audio/video production company, & desktop publishing company, Nighthawk Entertainment.
Who I'd like to meet:
I've met a lot of people over 14 years in the business. Some that I still talk to on a regular basis, and others I have lost touch with. The ones that I have lost touch with are guys I would like to talk to again and catch up on things. I know that wrestling is a business where everyone is fast paced and driven, but hell, there is time to hang out and just chill.
