Johnny Midnight is a professional wrestler from Sheffield, England, primarily known for his matches with All-Star Pro Wrestling and, more recently, Team Guv Wrestling.

[edit] Career

Johnny was trained at the Elite Pro Wrestling school in Sheffield, competing in his first match on June 8th 2003, where he defeated 'Flawless' Carter Jay.

Through the middle and later part of 2003 he continued to wrestle for EPW as well as other independent companies such as UKWA, UFO, RBW and RDW before making his debut for All Star promotions in December 2003, losing to Marc Mignot.

Over the next few months Midnight made various more appearances for All Star, including several Battle Royal appearances and another losing effort to Mignot in Grimsby. On April 21st 2004 Midnight went full time for All Star, competing against Jonny Storm for the People's Championship in Gravesend on his first night.

For the next few years Midnight worked extensively for All Star, wrestling all across the country against all the top British wrestlers (such as Drew McDonald, Robbie Brookside, James Mason, Jonny Storm, Doug Williams, Paul Birchall, etc) and touring international wrestlers (such as 'American Dragon' Bryan Danielson, Colt Cabana, TJ Wilson, Chad Collyer, etc).

More recently Johnny has divided his time between All-Star Wreslting and Team Guv Wrestling, with recent highlights including winning the International Tournament at Manchester Mania 1 infront of a crowd of 3500.

During this time Midnight had various title opportunities, such as the June 2005 final of the British Tag Title Tournament (vs. The UK Dream Team), and in matches for the British Mid-Heavyweight Title (vs. Robbie Dynamite) and British Heavyweight Title (vs. Drew McDonald and Robbie Brookside) but was unsuccessful.

In November 2005 Midnight had an unsuccessful try-out for WWE during one of their UK tours.
