Chapter 5: A Short chapter for a short career


Disco Kid was reinvented as Johnberg. Just by the style he wrestled "stiff" Disco Kid didn’t seem like the right gimmick and joking on a Saturday night while drinking with Disco and some other VIW members, Hangman suggested the names John Shamrock or Johnberg due to his aforementioned wrestling style and well the joke was taking to heart and Johnberg was born, no more funky Bee Gees music and Saturday Night Fever impressions for John after missing a show as the boogie knight blaming a pile driver by Mad Sid hurting his neck he came back as Johnberg.
We claimed him to be a 7th time Mixed Martial Art UFC champion which ended up being a nasty inside joke of fiction that meant that 7 people had said (ur fucking crap) when they seen him wrestle. As from the name his gimmick was a parody of Gillberg who in turn was a parody of Goldberg if you can wrap your head around that.
His Entrance featured the same gladiator themed music as those wrestlers and he came out snorting and roaring into the garden crushing the dandelions on the way, although he never shaved his golden curls off into a baldy and probably couldn’t grow a beard at this age the transformation pretty much looked like Disco Kid had started wearing tracksuit bottoms instead of cut-off jeans or as said in VIW, hot pants.
He performed the same trademark moves as Goldberg such as the spear (running tackle) and with time John improved slowly although the DDT was always common, he wasn’t as stiff in matches and planned his moves ahead more...but of course there was the exception at times such as with Roach.

ROACH was the 6th person to join VIW and is widely forgotten about even by long term members forgot he was there probably Roach himself forgets he was in VIW and be shocked that he is being mentioned in the tale actually if he reads this he probably forget it’s him I’m talking about. Brought in by Mad Sid as a new wrestler by looks of things at the beginning it was thought he would have been around for sometime he seemed pleasant at least by the low VIW standards and got on with most of the crew but this was not to be though. Roach was of small stature with rat like features and not over 5,5 maybe 9 stone and about 14 years of old and despite the wrestling name was in fact human (who would of guessed).
He could do a nice tornado DDT but that’s about all the wrestling ability he offered. He will be remembered for....... actually no, no he won’t, the end.

I could finish his tale there but I won’t Roach was the non-giant killer of VIW. VIW had put him in a match against Johnberg which is symbolic of the lion versus the Christian. Rumour at the time was there was already animosity between the two as Roach had stolen Johnberg’s women in real life although this rumour still remains purely speculation to this day. in the first and would be last wrestling encounter of the two, Roach unwisely wore football beats and because it was summer Johnberg wrestled topless, the match started and Roach kicked John in the gut and from eye witness accounts, after the second kick Johnberg had lost his temper and beat the holy hell out of Roach working stiff Roach showed absolutely no offence as Johnberg would not allow it and lost the match rather quickly. Roach didn’t go away though he was back a week or so later on…coincidently a day when Johnberg couldn’t make it.
Smudge and Superxero commentated on Roach vs. Hangman. Hangman was booked to win but early in the match Hangman gave Roach a simple vertical suplex onto the mattress, followed with a cover for the win to his own surprise and everyone’s. Roach claimed he got winded and couldn’t kick out that was the last time we seen him wrestling he was clearly not built for it at that age. He was meant to appear at the first VIW super-card taking part in the first ever Inter-Regional title match roof match, however he never showed up or ever again and that was the end of Roach as a VIW wrestler. Last he was seen on camera was as a spectator at VIW X-Ecution super-card in 2004 but he never volunteered or was asked to return.
