Jimmy Icon

Jimmy Icon, (Born James Michael McInnis, March 4, 1979) is an Irish-born wrestler and former musician from Canada, recently signing a contract with Full Metal Wrestling.

Early Life
Jimmy Icon was born James Michael McInnis in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on March 4th, 1979. His parents risked imprisonment and death by stowing away on a cargo ship in a desperate attempt to get to the United States from civil-war torn Northern Ireland. During the journey, his father was captured and killed by being tossed overboard after being found sneaking around and scrounging for food on the ship, being tossed in the Artic waters as a result. His mother managed to make it to the United States after jumping overboard in Boston Harbor with him tucked away in a burlap bag she had taken with her. However, little James developed pneumonia because of this swim, and was left to an orphanage in a desperate attempt to save his life by his mother. He does not know what became of his mother.

Jimmy, because of his onset of pneumonia, developed respiratory problems, such as asthma and other health problems. Because of this, he was a sickly, scrawny kid and was not adopted because of his health, so he spent his childhood in the orphanage. He had, however, developed an interest in both music and professional wrestling as a child.

At the age of 16, after graduating high school, went to the New England Conservatory of Music. He dropped out along with four of his classmates after a year in school, before the band moved to Toronto to avoid Jimmy being institutionalized again. For the next several years, his band became very successful in the greater Toronto area, yet they were never able to land a major record label contract. It was also during this time that Jimmy went to wrestling academies in Toronto, building his gangly 125 pound frame into a more durable 172 pound one. He never aspired to be a big pro wrestler, but rather pursued it as a hobby whenever he had downtime from his band.

Freak Accident and Drug Abuse
In December 2007, Jimmy suffered a career-ending injury during a Christmas show in Toronto, suffering a freak accident after a crowd surfer accidentally kicked him in the throat. He barely survived, but after recovery, his singing voice was drastically changed, effectively ending his musical career.

After his recovery, Jimmy was known to abuse drugs and alcohol, including heroin, cocaine, and other substances. As a result of this abuse, most of his closest bandmates and friends left him to his own destruction. After an intervention by his closest fans, Jimmy Icon entered drug rehabilitation and has been clean since the end of 2008.

Full Metal Wrestling
After completing his training in Toronto, Full Metal Wrestling took a chance on Jimmy Icon and signed him to a development deal in New Era Wrestling, a developmental territory which leads to either the Alchemy or Anarchy brand of Full Metal Wrestling.

Shennanigans
Both on the stage and in wrestling, Jimmy Icon is known for his elaborate schennanigans towards anybody who happens by him. He is indiscriminate about who falls victim to his jokes, both done in jest and in anger.
