Johnny Devine is an american professional wrestler who currently works for the WCSF. Wrestling on the Rampage Brand of the company, he is also a member of The Mafia along with Mark Thomas, Nick Foster, Charisma and their consigliore Tuck Stevens. He is also known for his nickname, which is The Gambler.

High Voltage
Johnny Devine made his debut on High Voltage in the Summer of 2006. He debuted as part of The Mafia along with Blair Trotter and Lou Cuttino. As part of The Mafia, he made a name for himself on the show, most notbaly during The Mafia's feuds with Flux and The Union Jacks. It wasnt long before he was called up to the Mayhem brand along with Blair Trotter and a latter member of The Mafia and their consigliore Tuck Stevens.

Mayhem
As soon as The Mafia were called up to Mayhem, they entered the tag team scene which resulted in their first pay per view appearence at Annihilation 2006. Competing in a four way tables tag team match for the tag team titles of the brand, Devine and Trotter narrolwy lost to Re-Juvenated. Soon after, The Mafia were moved to Unleashed (now Rampage) and Devine's career sky rocketed from here on.

Rampage (formerly Unleashed)
The Mafia made an instant impact on the Unleashed brand, continuing where they left off with Flux on High Voltage months earlier. However, the feud was cut short soon after due to Flux leaving the company. However, Devine and The Mafia were put on the map at Wednesday Night Warzone when they assited Alex Morgan in winning the Unleashed World Title from The Executioner when he cashed in his Gold Rush Contract. The recognition from this incident led to The Mafia being chosen to challenge for the tag team titles against The Untouchables at Hacked, resulting if Devine capturing his first of three WCSF tag team championships with the help of Alex Morgan.

Soon after their title win, The Mafia turned face and soon entered a feud with The Gamers, resulting in The Mafia retaining their titles at Nothing to Lose. The Mafia's first title reign came to an end at Revolution 3 when they lost them to the Natural Born Killers in a four way tag team match. However, The Mafia regained the tag titles at the following pay per view (Destruction) when they defeated the Natural Born Killers in their tag team rematch.

The New Mafia
Devine's second tag title reign ended quickly when The Mafia lost the titles to the unlikely combination of Muntari Mebah and Anthony Blake. Following the loss, Devine began to put the blame on Blair Trotter for the loss of the belts and a feud soon erupted between the two Mafia members. This culvinated in a tag team match at Total Carnage 2008, in which both Devine and Trotter chose partners of their choice for the match. Devine brought in the services of Mark Thomas for the match while Trotter acquired Nick Foster as his tag team partner. However, that acquisition turned out to be the downfall of Blair Trotter's career when Nick Foster turned on him and aligned himself with Devine, Thomas and Stevens, creating the "new" Mafia in the process.

Soon after, Devine entered a feud with Johnny Briggs, leading to a match at Meltdown 2008. The Crash Test Dummy won the match due to outside interference from other Mafia members, much to the dissatisfaction of Devine. Devine took his anger out on the referee after the match, leading to a series of interactions between The Mafia and refereeing staff in the WCSF. Devine continued to be a thorn in the side of Johnny Briggs, who was disgusted at the actions of The Mafia member at Meltdown. One notable incident saw Devine cause Briggs a victory against Tomohiro Matsuda on Unleashed, which released an anger from Briggs which had never been seen before. Briggs then challenged Devine to an I Quit match at Annihilation 2008, a match in which Devine accepted. The match is considered to be an arguable showstealer for an event which was jam packed with great matches. However, Devine lost the match when Briggs threatened to set him on fire. Following the loss, Devine appeared on the first edition of the entitled Rampage and admitted that he lost to a "better man on the night" at the pay per view.
