Johnathan Holliday, (born July 25th, 1974), was a Canadien professional wrestler (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Johnathon+Holliday,+Portland+wrestling&aq=f). He also served as a promoter, TV Producer, Hollywood Actor, (www.imdb.com/name/nm0391060/),and Trainer.

He began his wrestling career in 1987 for Stampede Wrestling based in Calgary under the tutelidge of Stu Hart at the age of 13. Stu paid him $25 a week and gave Johnathan free food, room and board in the legendary Dungeon where he slept on the floor. Stu stretched Holliday every day until Johnathan Holiday was ready for the ring. Johnathan trained along with Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, Brian Pillman and Shinya Hashimoto.

In 1989, Johnathan garnered runner up honors for Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Rookie of the Year. He went on to win the World Wrestling Council's,(WWC), Junior Heavyweight Championship of the World in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He also wrestled for Grand Prix Wrestling in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, World Championship Wrestling, (WCW), Continental Wrestling Federation, (CWF), in Birmingham, Alabama,Portland Wrestling and briefly for the WWF in 1992. He went on to found World Grand Prix Wrestling in Santa Monica, California in 1997. The show aired in the California Markets only.

During Johnathan's controversial career, he was banned from wrestling in the Canadien Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for life. Fired from the CWF in Alabama for saying on TV, "Terry Gordy has so much starch in his system, he could fart and press his pants at the same time." The use of the word "Fart," evidently crossed the line. His legendary antics with Stampede Wrestling Host, Ed Whalen landed Johnathan with fines and he was actually suspended from Canadien Television for 2 weeks for a joke about a Rooster that got eaten by a Donkey owned by Ed Whalen. He stated, "If your donkey ate my Rooster, you'd have my cock in your ass." "It was all in good fun," Johnathan later claimed in an interview.

In 2006, Johnathan went on to produce the Directors Guild of America Award winning film, "Big Bucks for Buddha," in the Master's Program at the prestegious University of Southern California's Film School, (http://www.dga.org/thedga/aw_student.php3).
