Biography
Jose Montoya was born in Aguada, Puerto Rico. Jose Montoya was raised in this small city with nothing spectacular in his life. He went on being a normal child throughout the majority of his childhood, never teased or bothered, but was always one of the smaller kids in his age range. One day, a bully attempted to get violent with Jose over lunch money, but Jose wrestled the bully to the floor and had him crying. In lieu of a suspension, the school wrestling coach forced Jose to join the wrestling team and rose to the #1 rank in his region and #3 in the country. Upon graduating high school, a trainer by the name of Jose Lothario picked Jose Montoya up and trained him to become a wrestler before being signed to Takedown leading to many other companies bringing him in. He currently wrestles for Takedown as Jose Ricardo and CGS: Exile as Jose Montoya.

History

 * Takedown: Jose Montoya started out in Takedown as RKO93, where he teamed with Bangsurluna, Mattitude Follower/Steve Storme, and Joey Idol to form the stable called Smoking Youth. RKO93 would team with Mattitude Follower and reach the Takedown Tag Team Championships by defeating the EWC within 4 months of their debut and would hold the belts for 2 months before losing them to the team Carnage Creed and Chris Shocker, otherwise known as Shock Carnage after Mattitude betrayed him and left him for dead. RKO93 would team with Joey Idol in a losing effort at the next card in a Four Way Crisis Cage contest, which ended Joey Idol's career and Smoking Youth for good. RKO93 went solo and bid war against former stablemate, Bangsurluna, and changed his name to Jose Ricardo. He would defeat Bangsurluna twice, once in a Hardcore Match. Jose Ricardo was then entered in a Tournament to crown a new Takedown World Champion called "Clash For The Crown" where Jose Ricardo would defeat STL, Bangsurluna, and Mattitude Follower before losing to Horsemen4life in the finals of the tournament. After this loss, Jose Ricardo was rewarded with a #1 Contender's match against Shawn Stevens/The Legend Killer, which he was cheated out of when Shawn Stevens cheated to win. Jose Ricardo was then taken out of commission for some time as a result of a post-match assault by Shawn Stevens. Jose Ricardo is said to be fully healed and ready to return to action at any moment.


 * Ring of Glory: Jose was signed to Ring of Glory, where he became a rising star once again and claimed the ROG X-Rated Championship within 2 months of his debut, defeating Dash Blade for the strap. Jose would hold onto the X-Rated Championship for a record setting 7 months before dropping the belt to Zachary. Jose reigned supreme over all challengers for the 7 months, defending his championship regularly. Jose would compete in the ROG Rumble, where he was in the final three before being eliminated by Dash Blade, the eventual winner. Jose's efforts did not go unnoticed, as he was granted a World Championship contest at "Night of Glory II" against then ROG World Champion, The Legend Killer. However, ROG went under before the contest took place and rumors surfaced that Jose was the man planned to take the title home.


 * CGS Exile: Jose Montoya would be signed to Exile in late October of 2008 and didn't quite receive the same amount of success in Takedown or Ring of Glory, as he went on a losing streak. Jose is seen as a major threat to everybody and is still a rising star, but his moment has not popped up just yet, but now that he has his eyes on the prize, nothing will stop him!
