[edit] Summary

"The Paisano" John Balsamo; everyone's favorite Italian. 1990 Balsamo acheived a dream of beating the top seed in the High School New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Wrestling Tournament in front of over 6,200 people. Unfortunately he did not know about prowrestling schools until years later. Balsamo completed his pro wrestling training at the Wild Samoan training center in Hazleton, PA in 1998. Former WWF tag team champion Afa was a great trainer and an inspirational mentor. While training at the school, a graduate named Fast Eddie Valentine spent many hours of his own time training Balsamo in the ring before the practices began. Wrestling at WXW Balsamo met John Rambo of the NWL. Balsamo drove over 3 hours in each direction on Tuesday nights to take advantage of the Tuesday night matches at the HoPWF school. John Rambo has been a very positive inspiration in Balsamo's wrestling career since this time. Over the past few years John has captured the PCW Commonwealth Belt on two occasions, the NWL Cruiserweight belt on three occasions, and the WXW Cruiserweight belt on one occasion, The MWF Cruiserweight title, the NWF Tag team title as Fumar Dos, and the University Park title as Fumar Dos, and the CPW tag team championship belt with Gino Sarentino. Wrestling leagues past and present that he wrestled for are PCW in Reading, PA/ NVW at Penn State University / MWF in Toledo, Ohio/ CCW in Harrisburg, Pa / NWF at Penn State University/ WWWA in Emmaus, Pa / CPW in West Virginia / WSWF in Harrisburg, PA / ECPW in Lake Hiawatha, NJ / LWF in Lebanon, Pa / MDW in West Virginia / NWL & HoPWF in Hagerstown, MD/ CPW in West Virginia/ and WXW in Allentown and Hazleton, PA. <A href="http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling2/johnpaisano/index.html"><img src="pwiphotolink.JPG"></a> <A href="http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling2/johnpaisano/index.html"><img src="pwiphotolink.JPG"></a>

After a rest of 4 years traveling around the world, the Paisano is back in pro wrestling. CPW is his first stomping ground.
