Johnathan Derrick Pierce (born July 22, 1980), better known by his ring name The Crusader, is an American professional wrestler currently signed by Underground Wrestling Entertainment, and is working on it's developmental territory promotion, UTWA

WWE
Pierce first signed on to WWE, and participated in it's training ground, OVW. Johnathan would go on to win a series of matches, but the company could not overlook a passage for him. Over given time, he was not in any other events. And after that, he quietly left the company.

XPWA
XPWA was the next promotional fed that Pierce would attend, though, in mid-term, he was given the boot. Pierce has disclosed the particular incident, saying that they were forced to do so, due to money problems.

Combative Wrestling Alliance
Pierce had gained his known status when he made the debut to Combative Wrestling Alliance, in which he debuted with a well worked gimmick of his own; a claimed descendant of the heavens. Under this persona, he would go under his most famous name, The Crusader. When Crusader first made his debut, January 7th, it was named a great one, as he claimed the CWA Tag Team Championships, in a Tag Team Battle Royal, alongside partner and real life friend Warren Thompson, better known as Aaron King. From then, Crusader dropped his "Heaven's Descendant" gimmick, and forged that of a playful superstar, although he kept the Crusader name. King and Crusader would go on to be a succesful tag team known as The Misfits, winning match, after match. In time, they were placed in a rivalry with The Dudley Boyz, who were that last to be eliminated from the Battle Royal. At The PPV Salvation, The Team of Aaron King and The Crusader won, with King hitting D-Von with clothesline, before pinning him.

After this, The Misfits were placed in a rivarly with The Horsemen, which consisted of Paul Roma, and Sid Vicious. Crusader had accompanied King to the ring, with his singles match, against Roma, which King won. However, when the day came for the titles to be put on the line, The Misfits lost to The Horsemen, after Roma applied a Boston Crab on The Crusader, who had his back worked on, throughout the match. The two were in brief promos with each other, before Crusader and King disbanded.

There was a rumor for Crusader to be pitting against fellow superstar Korin Kaine, but Crusader was released from the company, before the idea was applied.

UTWA
Johnathan resurfaced on UTWA, at which he has yet to debut. However, the Crusader name was now used as a nickname, rather than the ring name, and he simply went with John Pierce.
