John Kaos

John Kaos (real name: Jonathan McMillian) is an American Professional Wrestler from Dallas, Texas currently working for Atlas Sports' Hardcore Professional Wrestling Federation as their reigning Television Champion. He has also worked for Thad Inc. and other organizations within Atlas Sports like Big East Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Association.

The Beginning
Towards the beginning of John's career in 1997, he worked for an Arizona-based promotion called the Extreme Championship Wrestling Federation, he wrestled under the name "Mossimo," a name based on the clothing brand at the time and a character based on a street/hip-hop influence. During his time in the promotion, he went on to become Heavyweight Champion and a run as half of the Tag Team Champions, along with other championships, to leave as the "most decorated champion in company history," although none of the reigns with any title were able to stand-out in the end.

Afterwards, Kaos migrated and altered the Mossimo gimmick into one based upon the Insane Clown Posse, and took on the name "Milenko" after the group's album with a similar title, and again as "Michael Romeo," a character based to be a suave ladies' man. Neither of the gimmicks, nor the "Mossimo" character, were really gaining any acceptence anywhere. It was also this time that the moniker "Johnny Kaos" was first used, but after the promotion where it debuted abruptly shut down, the name and character were put on the backburner.

Kaos' next stop was the Ohio territory, working the independents and coming across two men who he would form a trio with: Shifty Bradley and R. B. Bradley. Now going under the name "Epic Bradley," the three formed what would be referred to as the "Bradley Factgime," a comical take on the idea of "Factions" and "Regimes" being popular in wrestling and what would start a long-going trend of being an overall satire of everything else in wrestling. The three portrayed themselves as the youth and future of wrestling, each utilizing a different style (R.B. with high flying, Epic with ground and technical, Shifty with brawling and hardcore) to compliment the group as having an answer to any opposition. The overall attitude of the group was a cockiness that reflected the satire. By 1998, the group was starting to gain a lot of attention and found their first short-term home promotion.

DXF and all incarnations
The Degeneration Xtreme Federation, which later went by a number of different names, began and employeed the Bradley Factgime as one of their star acts. While this also took place, John was also in a relationship with the promotion's owner/booker at the time, who then also pushed him into the main event picture. More times than not, John's opposition would be Shifty as the two had a number of feuds revolving around the World Heavyweight Championship. In one of the final scenarios of the promotion's on-again/off-again run, the two managed to pin one another at the same time and thereby was announces as the Co-World Heavyweight Champions.

It was then decided after one of the shut downs to try and move up in their careers as they applied for Thad Inc.'s Rhydin Championship Wrestling Federation, RCWF for short.

RCWF
The two largest organizations at the time were Thad Inc., which backed RCWF, and Atlas Sports, which backed HPWF. Upon deciding to join RCWF, John did away with the "Epic Bradley" name and re-adopted "Johnny Kaos," which really had no change to the character other than the name. After his debut, which happened to be a lose, Kaos fell mostly in the large mid-card and evetually fighting towards the Television Championship. Soon after, the Bradley Brothers of Shifty and R. B. joined the organization to team up with John once again, but the trio dropped the name "The Bradley Factgime" as well for the name "Team We Own You," or "Team WOY" and "WOY" for the shorthand. While their attitudes did not go over well at first, their in-ring performances could not be denied as they were considered "different." The going trend of matches in RCWF were usually violent, weapon-filled and hardcore all around, whereas Kaos considered himself a technical wrestler who utilized different holds to ground the opponent and isolate body parts. This went to the point where opponents would not sell for John, and Kaos retaliated by making his moves far more complex to the point people could not legitimately escape without Kaos breaking it himself (i.e. the House of Whorers). There was also a backstage political war developing between established tag teams like Roz and Dan Shoryu against the Bradley Brothers, who moved up the ladder quickly.

The first big blow from Team We Own You came in the fall of 2001, where after R. B. Bradley was side-lined with an injury, the group introduced "SuperStar" Matt Villas. The duo, which gained even more credability as a team, captured the RCWF World Tag Team Championship. Also during this time, Kaos had been working as a low-level heel was put into a match where he teamed with federation owner, Thaddius, against Simon Dope where if Dope were to win the handicap match would then be against Gregg Martin for the vacant RCWF World Heavyweight Title at Highway to Hell 3 (the title was vacated after a number of older RCWF stars left the company after a dispute with Thaddius over operations). Kaos managed to defeat Dope himself, then challenged Thaddius' ruling over who the rightful opponent for Gregg Martin was. The match restarted and John eventually came out the winner after utilizing a hammerlock submission. Along with the victory, the match itself established Kaos as a premire babyface of the organization.

At Highway to Hell 3, John Kaos defeated Gregg Martin to become the World Heavyweight Champion, but after the match was finished was interrupted by one of the returning RCWF Stars in Lunar, who claimed John had not won the title. The result was Kaos walking out with the belt after not knowing of the planned idea. While there was no definate answer as to why the after-match situation took place, Kaos regardless went on to defend the title against Thaddius in a series of matches, one of which was the first and only Trailer Park Match. The idea was from Thaddius, a native of Oklahoma, felt John was nothing more than Texas Trailer Park Trash and not a Technician. Therefore, the two fought in a double decker trailer set up next to the wrestling ring where Kaos eventually defeated Thaddius one last time in a match that included the RCWF Owner being driven from the second level down into the first, the Champion being thrown from the top of the trailer into the ring, and a return of RCWF's Krow to lay out Thaddius in the closing moments of the match.

After the feud, John held the championship until December where he finally lost it to Simon Dope. A week later, RCWF was closed for a hiatus, which ended in January of 2002.
