Johnny Raike was born in 1984 in Salt Lake City, Utah to conservative Christian parents.
The going theory is he was swapped at the hospital, because Johnny has never fit into
that world. An early bloomer in all respects Johnny was first kicked out of the house at 13
before being forever banned at the age of 16 for sleeping with a preacher's daughter
in his parents bed. His reaction? "Good thing they didn't know about the preacher's son." 
Johnny turned to street fighting to fill in the gaps from his days couch surfing and found a 
talent for it and a love of the attention it afforded him, good or bad.

From the streets Johnny would find his way into the independent wrestling circuit before
finding a permanent place in Total Mayhem Wrestling.  Johnny would memorably fued with
fellow newcomer Derk early in his tenure, a time when Raike's razor sharp wit often came 
to the forefront of his fights.  Johnny also scored gold on his very first night in the 
company, holding the 24/7 Homicidal Championship after pinning the champion on the stage.

Johnny's most notable accomplishment in TMW was winning the Platinum Crown Championship, 
a one night death match tournament taking place at random around the city, ending on the 
top of a parking garage.  Johnny would pin 4 opponents that night to claim the crown, 
and with it a week as the general manager.

Johnny would use his new found power to his own benefit, to the surprise of absolutely 
noone.  As a result of their continued feuding, Johnny Raike also found himself with the 
abilityvto fire Derk at will.  To this end he booked his rival into a East Coast 
Championship match, a match which Derk would win.  Johnny then booked himself into an 
East Coast Championship match and forced Derk to hand over the belt.

Now the East Coast Champion, Johnny would book himself as the surprise final entrant in the
Total Vendetta Championship match, at the time the highest honor in the company.  
Johnny would end the night by awarding himself the belt, and ceding the East Coast belt 
to his tag partner, Carey Relix.

Johnny's last championship run in TMW was as the tag team champions, both at once as a 
result of finding both belts in a title scramble situation.  He would eventually choose 
Relix to be the holder of the second belt
