Professional Wrestling Career[]

Elite Answers Wrestling (2020-present)[]

Voltage SZN 13[]

April 5th, 2020, Limmy Monaghan made his debut along-side Mark Macias, his future tag team partner, against Maxwell and Gavin McArdle in a successful bout on the Voltage brand. He and Mark would rarely, if ever get along at first, and that showed when they were defeated the following week by Komatsu Ogawa and Shawn Sturgis, The Unique Ones. The two would continue to work as a team, until they eventually made their way to Pain For Pride, competing for the Unified Tag Team Championships against Fire & Ice and The Covenent in a losing effort.

Dynasty SZN 14[]

Limmywrwer — Limmy in the Grand Athletes era of his career

After Pain For Pride, Limmy was drafted to Dynasty alongside Mark Macias, and they quickly were able to earn themselves a Unified Tag Team Championship opportunity. Defeating Jason McCormick and Christian DeMarco on a contendership match, they once again challenged Fire & Ice, this time in a two-on-two match at Operation: Doomsday. This time, they successfully walked out with the titles. Successfully winning his first Championship in EAW just a few months into his career, however, it wouldn't last long. Though the Grand Athletes would have a decent run on Dynasty, winning every tag team match besides one against the Liquid Swordz, they lost the belts to The Realm - Sierra Bradford and Harper Lee - at Territorial Invasion in a Flaming Ladders match. This was the last time the Grand Athletes, more specifically, Mark Macias would ever compete, due to an injury resulting in his blindness. Going solo, Limmy would win his first match as a singles competitor against Lethal Consequences, and start a solo run that elevated him highly. He won matches against the likes of SEBAS, Adam Lucas et cetera, resulting in him defeating Dray Fontana for the PURE Championship at Road To Redemption 2020. However, he wouldn't be by his lonesome for long, as at the Christmas show following this he, Jake Smith and Maxwell would form Insurgency, and soon after recruit Donovan Duke. Somewhere along the way they made enemies in Adam Lucas, MITSUBACHI and James Ranger, but were able to come out successful in a match against them at King of Elite. Following this, Limmy would defend his championship successfully against Charlie Marr, but it would end up being the only defense of that reign, eventually dropping the belt to Adam Lucas at Reckless Wiring, in a fight pit match against the eventual winner and Chris Elite in a triple threat match.

Following this, he and Insurgency would move onto Grand Rampage, where they would be a pivotal part of the match, Limmy ending up in the final 7. At that event, Maxwell would lose to Adam Lucas in his first defense, and eventually blame it on Insurgency, resulting in them banishing him from the stable and the company. Limmy would go on to finish his season competing in big matches, such as a No Way Out match against Impact, Chris Elite, Jake Smith, Lethal Consequences and Charlie Marr in the main event of Battle of Egypt II, and the Cash in the Vault ladder match at Pain For Pride 14 against Myles, Andre Walker, Jon Kelton, Constance Blevins, and Justin Windgate. Though losing the two of them, he solidified himself in that spot, and would expand upon it in the following seasons.

Showdown SZN15[]

Kicking off Season 15, Limmy would be drafted away from his Insurgency brothers upon their break up at Pain For Pride 14, and kick off the season facing TLA for a shot at Kassidy Heart's Answers World Championship at Midsummer Massacre. Limmy would lose this match, however, it would be the match that kickstarted his change in attitude, slowly becoming a better person in his eyes, more respectful, and more liked. This truly kicked in, though, as he lost to Impact at Midsummer Massacre, as it was a humbling he truly needed. He used that humbling to beat the likes of Cameron Ella Ava, earning him a shot at Kassidy Heart's Championship at Territorial Invasion. Though a losing effort, he would capture the hearts of the EAW viewers, and for the first time in his career, have the crowd supporting him. This was no more obvious than in his home country of Scotland, where he challenged Adam Lucas for his Hardcore Championship at the upcoming Reasonable Doubt marquee, which Adam Lucas agreed to. To prove that he was different than before, and rid himself of the demons that he had, he defeated the man who had taken his Championship earlier on in his career - though it would be a different title - and became the Hardcore Champion.

Limmy was originally challenged by Lethal Consequences, however, Sierra Bradford would take issue from this, as she came from Dynasty, injured LC, and challenged Limmy herself in a losing effort. As Champion, following Territorial Invasion for that matter, Limmy acquired a winning streak, winning every single match for months, and this streak truly began following Road To Redemption after he beat Sierra, by defeating her former partner in Harper Lee. Finally defeating the two women that took his first title, and his tag team partner, Limmy was proving that he was a new man, which was reinforced as he defended his title a second time against Roberto De La Rosa and Abel Atami at King of Elite. However, after this match, Charlie Marr would rush the ring, attack Limmy, and cripple his manager in Walt Bivens. Limmy was immediately sent into a dark place, challenging Charlie Marr, who made his life hell, such as helping Impact defeat Limmy - who himself used salt, a far cry from his clean victory at the start of the season - ahead of Dia Del Diablo. However, Limmy would never get his revenge, as Charlie successfully defeated him in a FIre & Steel Match, a match that Limmy himself invented.

Following his loss to Charlie, Limmy would end up defeating TLA in a tag team match on Showdown, teaming with Theron Nikolas against the Answers World Champion and Adam Lucas, earning him a shot against TLA. Though losing, he proved that he was slowly rising to the top of the card, as he looked better than he did during his last World Championship opportunity. He onced again proved this in the Grand Rampage match, this time ending up in the final 3 of the match, with the most eliminations of that year with 6. Though losing, it would be the performance he needed. Limmy closed the season at Pain For Pride, defeating Terry Chambers in a match they both needed, retiring the former EAW World Champion, defeating yet another former World Champion in his career, at the show of shows itself.

Dynasty SZN16[]

Returning to Dynasty after SZN15, Limmy Monaghan would compete in a fatal-four-way against The Visual Prophet, Madison Kaline and Amir Yusuf to determine the challenger for Andre Walker's Undisputed EAW World Heavyweight Interwire Championship. He would come close to pinning The Visual Prophet, however Dr. Angelo D'Angelo would interfere, causing Viz to low blow Limmy, taking him out of the match. Eventually, Madison would go on to win this match. Limmy originally wanted to face Viz at Midsummer Massacre, but a chair shot to the head would take him out of it, putting him on the backburner for that event. Though, at Midsummer Massacre, Dynasty GM Tyrone Montgomery would make him the Dynasty Team Captain for Territorial Invasion, eventually picking Joso and Serenity Valdez as his teammates. At the Dynasty Supershot "Poor Unfortunate Souls" Limmy would get his match against The Visual Prophet, coming out successful, defeating the future Hall of Famer, and beginning a singles winning streak that wouldn't be broken the entire season.

He, Joso and Serenity would all move onto Territorial Invasion, competing in an Anarchy in the Arena match in the main event, against Team Voltage - Drake King, Minerva, and Hikari Kanno - and Team Showdown - Adam Lucas, Jake Smith and Xander Payne - but they wouldn't come out successful. With Team Voltage surrounding the ring with fire, and defeating Xander Payne, Limmy and Adam couldn't help but put their desire to one-up each other aside, resulting in them being unable to extinguish the flames. Though, in the long run, this would be the only marquee of the season where Limmy would take a loss, as soon after this, Limmy would compete in a match against Amir Yusuf at Justified Reckoning 2022. Coming off this win, Limmy would successfully enter the Elimination Chamber match at Road To Redemption, against Andre Walker, Bronson Daniels, Amir Yusuf, PJ Hendrx and Jay Jerry Johnson, and finally, after two previous failures, become EAW World Heavyweight Champion.

Starting his reign off with a bang, at the 'A Hawaiian Christmas Show Spectacle' event, Limmy Monaghan would defeat EAW Hall of Famer Rex McAllister, the same man he defeated to become Unified Tag Team Champion, this time in a singles match. He started off the New Year at the best possible place he could have been, that was until a former ally of his would return. Maxwell, though having been brought back by The Visual Prophet earlier in the year against Limmy, would return with the intention to compete for the first time in almost two years, wanting revenge against Limmy. The two would have a personal feud, however Limmy would eventually retain at King of Elite 2023. Moving on from this, he looked to finally start his reign the way he had hoped, and he was granted this wish as Cameron Ella Ava had made her intentions known to become the first woman to hold the World Heavyweight Championship. With Cameron being a woman Limmy respected, he accepted this challenge, as they competed in a Dome of Death Match, a stipulation Limmy chose, in a match he would eventually win. With two defenses under his belt, Limmy continued moving forward, when what he deemed the toughest challenge of his career came to challenge him - Scott Diamond.

Scott Diamond challenged Limmy Monaghan at Grand Rampage, a Hall of Famer in his own right, looking to become Champion not because he believed he wanted to be Champion, but because he knew in order to dominate he'd have to win it. Scott dominated Limmy in the match, making everybody believe it was over for him, however somehow, Limmy prevailed, prompting Scott to acknowledge this muttering "not bad, Champ" before Limmy connected with Divine Departure, and the 'Color of the Supreme King' Ganso Bomb to win the match. Two weeks later at Fighting Spirit, Joso would challenge Limmy for his title, looking to make it into the main event of Pain For Pride, and though the two competed in a very friendly bout, Limmy did not hold back, and picked up his fourth defense.

At that same event, Methuselah would screw Myles in his World Championship defense against Drake King, causing Drake King to win, and Limmy did not agree with this. He offered Myles a match at Pain For Pride, to which he accepted, however, Myles would not be happy with Limmy's comments a few weeks later, believing he had "saved" Myles' route to Pain For Pride. Because of this, he ambushed Limmy with a chair, damaging his ribs, his back, and giving him a concussion. Limmy's main event Pain For Pride match was in jeapardy. Tyrone Montgomery was forced to remove Limmy from the match... until Limmy Monaghan came out, and stopped him. He said that he knew his body best, and that he WOULD be competing, before laying Myles out. He was still in it. A week later, a contract signing occured, but that would result in Limmy going through a table, with even more damaged ribs. Despite remaining in the match, many thought it would be the end for Limmy, as he was in no condition to beat the 'Peak' of the industry in Myles. It didn't stop him though. Limmy went on to compete against Myles in a brutal contest at Pain For Pride 16, going as far as coughing up blood in the match. Limmy was in a bad way, he realistically should not have been competing, yet he pulled through. Myles came closer than anyone, however, in the end, Limmy would successfully retain his title a 5th time, at Pain For Pride no less, 6 months into his reign - a feat very little accomplish - as he closes the season as Champion. Making his intentions known to break the record of the longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion, and every World Championship overall, at 323 days - held by Jamie O'Hara - Limmy would remain World Heavyweight Champion.
